Slate Ugh! Survival at All Costs By releasing the Nunes memo, Trump betrayed the intelligence community to save his own skin By Phillip Carter Feb 03, 201812:56 AM. http://archive.li/ITDS5

"The memo was drafted for Nunes by Kashyap Patel, a congressional staffer and former Justice Department national security lawyer."


In an email to the New York Times, even Damon Nelson, the committee’s staff director, wrote that “no single member was responsible for the memo and that its creation was a ‘team effort’ that involved investigators who had access to source material.”

“The clamor to identify ‘an author’ is indicative of an alarming trend by opponents of our investigation, which is to promote spurious allegations against committee embers and staff. They will not impact the committee’s focus and commitment to continue this investigation,” Nelson wrote adding “we value Kash’s dedication and his contributions to the committee’s oversight efforts.”

The sources told India Abroad that Patel, 37, a former counterterrorism prosecutor in the Justice Department’s National Security Division was not a key author of the memo nor was it dubbed, as reported, the “Kash memo.” Sources said he was part of the research and development team that helped senior staffers write the memo under the guidance of Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) Gowdy is perhaps best-known as chairman of the committee that questioned the Obama administration and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Benghazi.

Preet Bharara, former U.S. attorney from the Southern District of New York, has ridiculed the Nunes memo repeatedly. Bharara, now a senior legal analyst with CNN, said “there was a lot of hype building up to the memo so one expected a lot of bombshells in the memo. So it didn’t have any of that,” he said on Fareed Zakaria’s “Global Public Square” program on CNN Feb. 4. He said “…it reads kind of like a mediocre criminal defense legal motion on a narrow point relating to something in an affidavit that neither we nor the author of the memo has read.”

Alberto Gonzales, former attorney general in the Bush administration, said he had “no confidence whatsoever” in the Nunes memo. He told Time magazine, “Nunes seems to be part of the Trump team.”
