Our government has work to do on FISA in a number of branches, maybe we have to decide if we value security over privacy. Chris Wray, a Floridaman appointee is doing that right now in the FBI. And pay attention to Floridaman's BS about him. But screaming about the FBI is what the Trumplicans are hoping you do, push the conversation to the evils inflicted on Floridaman, rather than what he has done.

Michael Horowitz, demolished Floridaman’s most sensational allegations about the Russia inquiry: He concluded that the opening of the investigation was lawful and legitimate, that there was no improper “spying” on the Floridaman campaign and that the F.B.I. wasn’t part of some “deep state” conspiracy to overthrow the president. FISA has flaws that need fixing, but "deep state" claims are a dangerous distraction.

But you haven't read it and you won't, you'll just repeat Floridaman and the Trumplicans talking points.

And that gives them the tools to push baloney like this.

“I do think the big report to wait for is going to be the Durham report,” Floridaman said, once again speculating about a report that hasn’t been written. “That’s the one that people are really waiting for.”

Their ability to wreak political havoc with the latest Horowitz report is part of what has now become a clear pattern:Call for an investigation of a favorite Floridaman target; speculate about the likely outcome; seize on any collateral evidence that emerges; spin the results; then move quickly to the next investigation. Repeat. He's done it all his working life.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?
