What is the significance of House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes’ memo alleging FBI abused it’s surveillance

The significance: it undercuts the trumped-up allegations regarding FISA abuses by the FBI and DOJ.  Trump-TV has created a false narrative that the FISA warrants (to surveil citizen Carter Page, who billed himself as a Kremlin-agent) were issued based on a DNC-funded dossier.  ‘The memo’ tells of a drunken-boast by George Papadopoulos … to an Australian top-diplomat regarding ‘Clinton-dirt’ from Russia, that info passed to our FBI (pre-dossier), who was already surveilling Page.  Trump-TV is declaring that President Trump MUST fire Rosenstein and Mueller immediately; talk about DEEP STATE!   Note: Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C, read some  underlying FISA content and assisted in drafting ‘the mem0’.  On 2/5/18 Gowdy said, “I think the memo has no impact on the investigation and  I support Mueller 100 percent! … Russia tried to interfere with our 2016 election, with or without a dossier!”  Gowdy announced the previous week  … that he would NOT be seeking re-election, and he was stepping down from his House Intelligence Committee position (from which he presided over numerous, fruitless Benghazi investigations of Hillary Clinton).
