New revelations have surfaced that the Obama administration abused intelligence during the election by launching a massive domestic-spy campaign that included snooping on Trump officials.

Following yesterday's exploration of the #BrockGate documents and our look at Media Matters' "Trump War Room", new findings indicate that Media Matters has access to the raw data of numerous social media platforms, plus the power to influence their understanding on what is and isn't "fake news." The following is an excerpt from page 10 of the #BrockGate document: "Media Matters has already secured access to raw data from Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites. We have also put in place the technology necessary to automatically mine white nationalist message boards and alt-right communities for our archive. We will...

HALL COUNTY, Ga. - Court documents reveal evidence that church and Boy Scout leaders knew about a sexual abuser and not only allowed him to continue working, but also promoted him. Fleming Weaver would go on to meet victims who eventually came forward with rape accusations last year. This is a case that spans several decades in Hall County. It’s a case that accuses the Boy Scouts, a Gainesville church and its leaders of lying to keep a horrific secret. Documents obtained by Channel 2 Action News include a file that Boy Scouts handed over just last week after a...

Tenth Grade Oakland Tech High English teacher Livier Perez invited BAMN, a revolutionary communist group, to speak to her 10th grade students at Oakland Technical High School, Oakland,California. BAMN is a violent Antifa group. The lecturers were recruiters, handing out flyers and encouraging the students to commit acts of violence. At the same time, they brainwashed them with lies. At one point, a student asks, so we should just have open borders and let everyone walk through? The BAMN recruiter responds, Yes, this is what’s best for the economy and everyone deserves free healthcare. If this is what is going...

An immigration agent tried to search for a fourth-grader at Queens school — but was sent packing by staff, according to city officials. “Mayor’s been briefed on a fed immig agent showing up at Queens’ PS58 Thurs. asking about a 4th grader. School turned him away,” Mayor de Blasio’s press secretary Eric Phillips tweeted.

<p>Liberal comedian Bill Maher said President Clinton is at fault for the events that led to now-former FBI Director James Comey's firing.</p> <p>Maher said on HBO that much of the controversy raised by Comey during the last months of his tenure can be traced to Clinton visiting then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch in Phoenix.</p>

Well-well-well… Comey first came in contact with the Clintons in the 1990s when he was investigating WhiteWater scandal. He then went on to investigate the Clinton’s during President Bush’s tenure. TIME reported: Looking to get back into government after a stint in private practice, Comey signed on as deputy special counsel to the Senate Whitewater Committee. In 1996, after months of work, Comey came to some damning conclusions: Hillary Clinton was personally involved in mishandling documents and had ordered others to block investigators as they pursued their case. Worse, her behavior fit into a pattern of concealment: she and her...

Before President Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, the bureau on Tuesday corrected sworn testimony in which Mr. Comey last week told Congress that a top aide to Hillary Clinton had sent “hundreds and thousands” of emails to her husband’s laptop, including some with classified information. In fact, the FBI said in a two-page letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, only “a small number” of the thousands of emails found on the laptop had been forwarded there while most had simply been backed up from electronic devices.

Being a communist would no longer be a fireable offense for California government employees under a bill passed Monday by the state Assembly. Lawmakers narrowly approved the bill to repeal part of a law enacted during the Red Scare of the 1940s and '50s when fear that communists were trying to infiltrate and overthrow the U.S. government was rampant. The bill now goes to the Senate. It would eliminate part of the law that allows public employees to be fired for being a member of the Communist Party.

Over the two days of testimony in front of Congress FBI Director Comey has answered many questions. There have been a couple that he has been unable to answer in an open, unclassified forum. One of those being what would be considered by some to be the most shocking email found by the FBI. In this exchange between Senator Grassley and Director Comey, the Senator asked about an email that was found by the FBI. It indicates that former Attorney General Lynch would do everything she could to make sure that the FBI investigation “didn’t go too far” and would...

In his final year in office Mr. Obama’s administration significantly expanded the availability of National Security Agency (NSA) intercepts of American citizens. His order spread unredacted intelligence reports across many government entities, many without a need to know, to have, or share either before or after the 2016 presidential election. The reports put in full view the names of American citizens. This may validate Maxine Waters’ claim of Obama’s secret database in 2013. Data released this week by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) provided evidence of NSA’s collection of info on American Citizens, maintained in a...

James Comey epitomizes a lot of what is wrong with Washington and the elite culture of which he is a part. The question Americans ought to be asking after his recent testimony before Congress is not “What happened?” with Hillary Clinton, the election, or the Russians but “How the hell is this guy still running the FBI?” It’s a question for the president too. Comey is a creature of Washington and the self-interested hypocritical elites that President Trump excoriated on his road to the White House. And yet there was Comey the other day, preening before Congress in his “ah...

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton discussed FBI Director James Comey’s testimony to Congress with SiriusXM host Alex Marlow on Thursday’s Breitbart News Daily. Hillary Clinton has blamed Comey for her 2016 election loss, but Marlow argued that if Comey had concealed the FBI’s discovery that Clinton was handling classified material irresponsibly – in the most spectacular instance, allowing it to be forwarded to disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner – it would have been “the end of the FBI as we know it.” “You put your finger on it – the end of the FBI as we know it,” Fitton agreed....

FBI Director James Comey testified Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee that the airport tarmac meeting between then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton last June showed the Justice Department could not credibly investigate Hillary Clinton's email practices. Clinton and Lynch met privately in Phoenix after both of them realized they were on the same airport tarmac, immediately raising questions about the independence of the Justice Department that was in the process of investigating then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server. "Our conversation was a great deal about grandchildren, it was primarily social about our...

Jury finds fraud put Obama on ’08 ballot April 26, 2013: Two Democrats in Indiana were found guilty of submitting unauthorized names on the petition that placed then-Sen. Barack Obama on the 2008 presidential election primary ballot, meaning he likely did not qualify {..snip..}

Chelsea Clinton opened up about her thoughts on the Clinton Foundation during an interview with Variety magazine for the "Power of Women: New York" issue published Tuesday. Chelsea, daughter of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, gave an interview with Ramin Setoodeh in an attempt to show "how she’s making her voice heard in 2017." Setoodeh asked Clinton what she thought her responsibilities were, "given the current political climate." "I think it’s a question all of us should be asking ourselves every day. I think being a citizen isn’t just what happens when there’s an...

“It has come to our attention that when offering voter registration opportunities to customers, DMV’s employees offer voter registration materials to DMV customers whom they know to be non-citizens based upon their presentation of a Green Card for identification purposes,” Cegavske wrote. “More specifically, it is our understanding that some DMV employees have been instructed to accept registration materials from all customers, including those who present a Green Card for identification purposes…This practice must cease immediately.

Abp. Diarmuid Martin made his critical remarks during Holy Week homilyDUBLIN (ChurchMilitant.com) - In his Holy Week and Easter Sunday homilies, Ireland's head archbishop, Diarmuid Martin, called Catholicism a "religion of fear" and a "faith of prohibitions," denouncing the Church for its historic "harshness" towards the LGBT community. In his speech at the Good Friday Way of the Cross in Dublin, he remarked, "How is it that the Church and its institutions could at various times in history, and not only in a distant past , have been so judgmental and treated broken people who were entrusted to its care...

“If we are going to conduct espionage in the future, we are going to have to make some changes in the relationship between the intelligence community and the public it serves.” –Michael Hayden, CIA Director 2005-2009. Espionage is our friend when protecting Americans and our national security. Espionage when used on American citizens, especially those running against the incumbent president, his surrogate and political party in an election, becomes immoral, illegal and criminally prosecutable.
