Here’s a good round up of this whole thing.

Pretty reasonable.
If you’re trying to get up to speed, it feels a bit like suddenly immersing yourself in theories about the Kennedy assassination. There are so many partial and equivocal facts that it’s easy for people to spin them in a partisan way, particularly if they’re hoping it will turn into another Watergate. And both sides want it to be Watergate, either for the Trump administration or for the Obama administration.

Agree. Both sides throw out Watergate, including people like Bernstein, who was actually involved. All those people deserve eye rolls.

And of course, it mentions the factual inaccuracies of the Nunes memo that some people couldn't grok.

You're a factual inaccuracy. The FBI said nothing in the memo is false.

you may want to read further down your link, did the footnote include that none of the Steel dossier "facts" could be proven? Did the footnote explain that the Clinton campaign had fed info to Steele and paid millions for his "facts"...... kinda doubt it

Never mind that McCabe TESTIFIED that without the Steel fake report there would be no shot at getting a FISA warrant

"did the footnote include that none of the Steel dossier "facts" could be proven?"

No, because that would a lie.

"Did the footnote explain that the Clinton campaign had fed info to Steele and paid millions for his "facts""

No, because the applications don't usually name names in that fashion.
