Questionable evidence

It’s beginning to look as though the Articles of Impeachment will not be delivered to the Senate for trial. A letter to the editor informs me (two weeks after I heard the news from my sister in Texas) about the questionable, if not nonexistent, “evidence” used in order to obtain a FISA Court warrant to investigate the Trump

campaign.

Thanks to David L. Rachoy (“Setting aside fairness,” Dec. 21) for telling readers that “a judge from the FISA Court just issued a scathing denouncement of the FBI’s leadership who fraudulently presented (or failed to present) ‘evidence’ to secure the warrant to spy on the Trump campaign.”

Finally we get the whole story of just when The Committee to Unelect the President began its coup and the drive to impeach. I won’t go so far as to accuse The Spokesman-Review of being fake news, though. They don’t lie, after all. They just shade the truth a little.
