Matt Gaetz HILARIOUSLY Trolls Adam Schiff On House Floor Short but brilliant clip from bulldog Matt Gaetz. Runs 1 minute. Rep. Matt Gaetz Files Rep. Schiff's Original FISA Bill from 2013 ........Granting President Authority To Appoint FISA Judges.

The Democrats on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (“HPSCI”) wrote a memorandum that was released yesterday, February 24, 2018. Although the Democrats’ Schiff memorandum is in response to the Nunes memorandum released on February 2, 2018, by the Republicans on the HPSCI, any evaluation of the Democrats’ memorandum must include discussion of the Grassley memorandum released on February 6, 2018 by the Republicans on the Senate Committee on the Judiciary. This is because the Senate memorandum is more detailed. On February 21, 2018, I explained that the Senate memorandum “states that the FBI largely relied upon Steele’s credibility...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this Winning yet? – The 2018 U.S. Winter Olympics team was a colossal flop, winning just 23 medals overall, the lowest U.S. total since 1998. This comes despite the fact that the Games have been loaded up with junk sports over the last 20 years specifically in order to give the U.S. a shot at winning more medals, in hopes of boosting TV ratings. Not surprisingly, the poor U.S. performance also led directly to these Olympic games setting new lows in terms of television audience. But all is not...

Well, well, well…. this is hilarious; let’s see if any MSM realize the importance of this little admission. [I know Glenn Greenwald will]

House Intelligence Commmittee Chairman Devin Nunes was ready to go with his own response to the Democrats’ memo that I have embedded in the adjacent post. I have uploaded his point-by-point response to Scribd and embedded it below. It is a useful document. Moreover, by contrast with Adam Schiff et al., Nunes is a credible player. Consistent with my comments, he notes some of the Democrats’ rebuttals of points not made by the Republicans. In any event, here is his response.

President Donald Trump went on a scorched-earth tweetstorm Sunday morning calling out a number of major political issues and enemies. Trump focused on the “vindication” of his campaign in the Russia investigation, rising GOP poll numbers and CNN’s cratering ratings. However, Trump, who is very fond of nicknames, saved his most savage barb for Adam Schiff. "Finally, Liddle’ Adam Schiff, the leakin’ monster of no control, is now blaming the Obama Administration for Russian meddling in the 2016 Election. He is finally right about something. Obama was President, knew of the threat, and did nothing. Thank you Adam!"

Finally, Liddle’ Adam Schiff, the leakin’ monster of no control, is now blaming the Obama Administration for Russian meddling in the 2016 Election. He is finally right about something. Obama was President, knew of the threat, and did nothing. Thank you Adam! 7:22 AM - 18 Feb 2018

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, said that former White House Chief Strategist Stephen Bannon will likely be held in contempt of Congress for refusing to cooperate with them. He has refused to answer several questions about the investigation into Russian collusion, Schiff said. "I think it's likely that he will face a contempt citation," Schiff said Thursday at a Council on Foreign Relations event.Instead of offering information, Bannon has been citing executive privilege on behalf of President Trump.“The only questions he would answer were questions that had been scripted, literally scripted for him by the...

Rep. Adam B. Schiff said Thursday he’s uncertain when the Democratic memo concerning alleged surveillance abuses will be released and he wouldn’t say whether he’ll work on it next week while Congress is out of town. His comments come roughly one week after the White House refused to release the memo, saying sensitive information in the memo as drafted would betray national security interests. But with Congress being out on recess next week, and the White House potentially having five days to review the edited version, the memo may not get released until next month — if at all.

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this Winning yet? – The new Morning Consult Poll is out, and guess what? It now has the Republicans leading the Democrats in the generic congressional ballot for the first time in more than a year. The Ds led the Rs by 10 as recently as December 18. Meanwhile, President Trump’s job approval rating shot up in this poll, to 47% approve vs. 47% disapprove. Hey, remember all those breathless predictions in the fake news media of a Democrat tidal wave election coming in the November mid-terms? Yeah, we’re...

Rep. Adam Schiff announced Democrats will not honor President Trump’s request to revise their rebuttal to a GOP memo accusing the Justice Department and FBI of surveillance abuses. “We’re not going to make any revisions to it. The only question is what redactions will be made. And obviously we’d like to keep those to a minimum,” the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee said Tuesday.

The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee said the FBI is being too heavy handed in redacting information included in a memo that Democrats compiled to offer a point-by-point rebuttal of a GOP memo released earlier this month. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) suggested the FBI is using too much red ink to try to block any new information in the memo from being made public. "The FBI has identified in the memo, in our response, essentially everything that isn't already a matter of public record that wasn't already declassified," Schiff told reporters during a breakfast sponsored by the Christian...

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, is not going to fully heed the White House's request to revise the Democratic rebuttal to the FISA memo. That four-page memo, authored by Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA), detailed how the FBI violated FISA when seeking warrants to spy on Trump campaign members. They reportedly used an unsubstantiated dossier tying then-candidate Trump to the Kremlin. President Trump said the Republican document vindicated him from claims he colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election. Democrats, however, attempted to release their 10-page rebuttal, insisting it included context the Republicans...

According to ranking member Adam Schiff his declassification request was critically important, immediately necessary,… vital to the larger understanding,… intensely important to get released… etc. Well, where is it?UPDATE: Schiff now says he doesn’t want it released. Top Intel Dem defies White House: We're not going to change Dem memo http://hill.cm/TiEHbmz

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said Tuesday night that members of his party won’t revise their countermemo, despite requests from the White House to do so. “We’re not going to make any revisions to it. The only question is what redactions will be made. And obviously we’d like to keep those to a minimum,” Schiff told reporters. “The White House has a different interest. I think their interest is in redacting anything that doesn’t reflect well on the White House,” Schiff added.

It was all too transparent. It was more predictable than day following night. Following the release of the Republican memo, democrats went berserk. They swore they were going to release their own memo. Everyone knew what was coming- they were going to set a trap for Trump. https://twitter.com/johnrobertsFox/status/960919862125133824?They were going to send Trump a memo that revealed all sort of classified and sensitive material. And that's exactly what happened. All that raises eyebrows among some Republicans on Capitol Hill who have read the Democratic memo. They say it contains much more classified information than the Republican memo did. The GOP...

The Evening Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) It was just another crazy week, but then, that could be said about every week over the last two and a half years, since Donald J. Trump and his lovely wife Melania rode the gold-plated escalator to the first floor of Trump Tower to announce his run for the presidency. Here’s a brief review of the highlights of what the country has experienced over the last seven days. The week began with release of the FISA Abuse Memo and the fake media/Democrat campaign to try to diminish the importance of that...

RUSH: Folks, we’re loaded again today with some really powerful, important and genuinely hilarious stuff, such as Pencil Neck being scammed by a bunch of Russian comedians falling for a routine that they claimed that they had nude photos of Trump that they had given to Putin. And Schiff tried everything he could to track it down, and we’ve got it all on audio. It’s absolutely wonderful. This stuff has been known for 10 or 12 months. The reason it’s coming out now is because of his stupid little memo. Somebody on our team is really playing good offense here....
