In early February 2018, Rep. Devin Nunes released a four-page memo outlining what he said were abuses committed by members of the FBI in securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant against onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. It wasn't received well in most circles. Still, because of the release of the inspector general report about the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane investigation and possible FISA abuse, the record shows that the Nunes memo was pretty much on target.

Nunes took quite the beating over the last three years from the press and the commentariat, including yours truly. I still think Nunes deserves a lot of that criticism. He is, after all, a grown man who thought it would be a good idea to sue a fake cow from Twitter because the person running the account was a meanie pants to him.

That said, on the other side of the aisle, Democrat Adam Schiff also engages in the worst kind of partisan hackery. The Washington Examiner magazine cover story about Schiff, "The Worst Man for The Job," written by David Harsanyi, spells out why it was a big mistake to run the impeachment inquiry through the House Intelligence Committee.

The book “The Plot Against The President : the true story of how Congressman Devin Nunes uncovered the biggest political scandal in U S history” by Lee Smith explains everything in depth. Definitely worth reading!

Pelosi was behind the decision to impeach via Intelligence and Schiff knowing Schiff is a political hack and hates Trump. Because of Schiff’s lies basically Pelosi threw him under the bus.
