The NY Times this morning suggested that "the memo" delves into Rosenstein and how he authorized surveillance into Carter Page in the fall of 2016. Well duh, Page was part of the campaign and was a known Russian stooge. This isn't secret, and Page has since admitted to discussing Russian sanctions and the Roseneft oil deal, so isn't this more of a smoking gun than something to cease the investigation?
Not quite right. Rosenstein didn’t authorize surveillance of Page. At the time the Trump Administration took office, Page was the subject of an outstanding FISA warrant authorized by a federal judge based on the requisite showing of probable cause. Rosenstein signed off on an application for the FISC to continue the warrant, which the Court approved. More Uranium One BS.

Lindsey Graham is flapping his gums. Full of sound and fury. Signifying nothing. Manchin is familiarizing himself with the ways of New York talk.
