Alexandra Petri: The memo really is worse than the abuses that led to the American Revolution

Washington • Sebastian Gorka was right when he told Fox News that the Nunes memo would be 100 times bigger than the offenses that kicked off the American Revolution.

When I saw that the memo from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes’ office had been released, I could not believe my eyes. I sat bolt upright in my long nightshirt and grabbed my flintlock musket. I ran to the window and threw up the sash (no, hang on, that is a different poem), hopped on my steed and went galloping off to alert my brethren.

King George had done certain things, of course, that were not to be borne, but next to this memo, I was sure, they paled.
