Rachel Maddow Ruthlessly Mocks FOX News and the GOP for the Overhyped Nunes Memo: WATCH<\/b>
\n\"memo<\/p>\n

Rachel Maddow mocked FOX News and the Republicans for overhyping the Nunes memo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s it?\u2026This memo will make Donald Trump innocent. This memo will put\u00a0Robert Mueller<\/span>\u00a0in jail. It\u2019ll abolish the FBI!\u2026I can\u2019t believe this is it. I don\u2019t really believe in the whole cable news wars idea. I know people who work across the street at the Fox News channel. I have friends this work there. I think we\u2019re all doing our own thing our own way the best we can, but oh my god. they have been hyping and hyping and huffing and puffing and working their audience into a frenzy for two solid weeks. They have literally built a right-wing public movement that this memo must be released because this memo will fix the trump presidency. It will fix the Russia scandal for President Trump and make the whole thing go away. Apparently, despite that, apparently they didn\u2019t know or they didn\u2019t notice that this thing they have been clambering for and hyping for two solid weeks, that they have built up this frenzy around disproves their whole point\u2026..I will admit to being shocked that this is all they released\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Said Maddow: \u201cThey promised the Fox News audience. they promised the country, they talked a big portion of the normal media into believing they were about to shake the earth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maddow also compared the memo\u2019s release with her own release of two pages of Trump\u2019s tax returns last year: \u201cYou know, I hyped that I had Donald Trump\u2019s tax returns, then I clarified that I actually had two pages of Donald Trump\u2019s tax returns for one hour before I actually released what actually were two pages of Donald Trump\u2019s tax returns. For a year now, people have been telling me that was unconscionable hype about Donald Trump\u2019s tax returns. But you know what? At least those actually were Donald Trump\u2019s tax returns, even if they were boring.\u201d<\/p>\n

And Maddow points out that the memo actually contains a bit which undercuts its whole argument.Today was the big reveal \u2013 the memo! \u2013 that proves the whole Russia investigation is based on the dossier. And then they release this memo \u2013 which says in its final paragraph \u2013 they let slip in the last paragraph of the memo that, oh, by the way, the dossier didn\u2019t actually lead to the Russia investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n
