There is something else the Democrats are trying to hide. This memo only corroborates what we already knew, the fake Steele dossier was the whole reason a FISA warrant was asked for and approved. For them to be so upset there is something nearby that this might lead people to find.

Like the FBI and DOJ paying someone to fabricate evidence so they could violate the 4th Amendment AND try to rig a presidential election? What more do you need? This is a de facto coup attempt no different than trying to stuff ballot boxes in a banana republic so one candidate mysteriously receives 99.99% of the vote.

This leads to Lynch, and Lynch leads to Obama.
That's why they are terrified about this.

That's so true. Sometimes I get into that whole "well that's obvious" mentality, then I have to take a step back and remember that A LOT of people just don't care about this as long as their day to day remains the same. I mean this is HUGE in American politics if you are paying attention. If you don't pay attention:this is just boring shit that "doesn't effect me".

Nor will they know. The media is not going to report this properly. They will spin it as a Republican fantasy memo.

im struggling to see the direct implication as well. However I think its the things that are NOT said that are more damning. The people involved and the timeline gives proof to a lot of speculation, pushing it into probable cause.
