I have a couple of questions about what isn't in the Memo: 1) The FISA warrant was approved/renewed FOUR different times. Was the same "evidence" brought up in the renewals that was in the original approval or was other info added as time went on? Rep Rafliffe(sp?) was on Fox this morning saying he saw the applications for all four and loosely implied the dossier was the key for all Four. If the Dossier was the main factor in all FOUR then why didn't Memo make that clear. The media is spinning "there was to be more" since it was...

Questions the memo raises or leaves unanswered. We need answers now. 1. Why did the DOJ and FBI want to wiretap Carter Page? 2. The Memo says it obtained one initial warrant targeting Page and three renewals. Presumably those were each for 90 days (but I could be wrong and they could have been shorter). That's a full year of snooping. What was the probable cause for the initial warrant and for each subsequent warrant. 3. For the FBI, Comey signed 3 applications, McCabe signed one. For the DOJ Yates, Boente, and Rosenstein each signed one or more. Why were...

Has anyone heard Dan Bongino tonight who is filling in for Mark Levin? His breakdown of the spying scandal is phenomenal!! He breaks it onto chapters over the entire show. Absolute best explanation I have heard yet. Please do yourself a favor and listen to the whole thing. You won't regret it. He's a former secret service agent. Click here for the podcast replay

I could probably count on one hand the number of times I'd heard of Weinstein before you know what.ff

I don't post here much any more, but there seems to be a gap in the discussions on twitter about this subject from "Last Refuge," "Tom Paine," and "Jim Hoft." Freepers seem to be more clued into some of what I'm about to say. While everyone is focused on the Memo, the Inspector General Report, and Fusion GPS (and general FBI corruption), I think a powerful connecting link to much, perhaps all, rests in two locations: the House vault where they keep the payouts on the sex harassment funds, and the computer files of the Awans. Consider that when news...

Apologies if someone within another thread made note of this but I scoured and did not see anyone mention what I observed after SOTU. As President Trump is shaking hands (Fox feed) he absolutely SLIGHTS Mitch McConell. In fact Mitch tries to interject himself enthusiastically but President Trump glances then looks right over the top of him. Mitch then gets his attention and Oresident Trump refuses to shake his hand. In fact he doesn’t look happy at all during the exchange. I’ve rewatched the Fox SOTU multiple times and I do not think I have this wrong. I’m literally laughing...

A lie

I was just listening to Rush Limbaugh, and he just announced that the president Trump intends to release the memo immediately after his State of the Union speech. I guess the Democrats response will might get a little overshadowed.

Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano is being kept off the air indefinitely amid the controversy over his unverified claims that British intelligence wiretapped Trump Tower at the behest of former President Obama. Fox News did not respond to inquiries about Napolitano’s status Monday. Napolitano was conspicuously missing from the network’s coverage of the confirmation hearings on Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch — an event in which he typically would have played a significant role. He has not been on the air since Thursday.

Obstruction of Justice if true. Could be known within days! One of things the IG was looking into. Which witness interviews did he possibly asked be changed? A FD-302 form is used by FBI agents to "report or summarize the interviews that they conduct" and contains information from the notes taken during the interview by the non-primary agent. It consists of information taken from the subject, rather than details about the subject themselves.

I'm not going to get into specifics but will tell you I'm a season ticket holder for an NFL team in the northeast and just received my renewal for the 2018 season. I have two tickets. The price of my tickets for the upcoming season went down by $500!! Not only did it go down by $500- should i choose to buy the 2018 tickets and go on automatic payment they are guaranteeing the same price for the 2019 season!! The TV ratings has put huge fear into the NFL and they are trying to coax the season ticket holders...

I wonder if these liberals would have their panties in a wad if the immigrants in question were Irish, or German, or Italian. Not bloody likely.--A/D

Done right, home schooling is a very low-cost, personalized educational option, conducted in a safe, non-violent environment. Statistics consistently indicate that home-schooled students excel in higher education and go on to lead functional, productive lives. There are, of course, a number of life’s little inconveniences and impediments that operate against successful home-schooling. First, the parent-child chemistry has to be there. Many parents have told me that it simply would not work for their Matthew or Emily. Home-schooling my own son would have been the ultimate test of my patience. Both parties have to be committed and emotionally in-sync with the...

Don’t look now, but the President and Congressional Republicans are making progress on their promise to repeal and replace Obamacare with a more affordable, flexible, and dynamic health system. This news will likely come as a surprise. As far as the news media is concerned, the failure to pass the American Health Care Act in the Senate means that health care has been a zone of failure for the President. What they have missed is an administration-wide health reform effort, enhanced by congressional action, that will lower costs, increase access, and improve health outcomes. Because this new strategy doesn’t fit...

Remember a month or two ago, when the Democrat party leaders all woke up one morning and started in with that fake news chorus, something to the effect of “Trump is about to fire Mueller, and boy oh boy, if he does, well, then that’s obstruction, we’ll impeach him!”? They were all saying the same thing as if they had received their fake news marching orders from the DNC. This just sounds like a rehashing of that same fake news meme - but a month late. The original strategy was, if they couldn’t actually get Trump on collusion, the next...

Like many of you, illegal immigration was one of the main reasons I voted for Trump. He's the first and only politician at the national level to really stake his claim on the issue, and promise to withstand the pressure that comes with enforcing our nation's immigration laws. But we would be crazy not to back Trump's proposal. Legalizing 1.8 million over 10 years in return for guaranteed wall funding and an end to chain migration and the visa lottery should be a "no-brainer" for us. Chain migration if I'm not mistaken is over 1 million people every year, and...

<p>A bombshell four-page "FISA memo" alleging egregious surveillance abuse by the FBI, DOJ and Obama administration, specifically names FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, former FBI Director James Comey and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, according to the Daily Beast.</p> <p>The GOP-authored memo made waves last week after it was made available to the full House of Representatives for viewing. With over 60 GOP lawmakers calling for its release, Capitol Hill sources on both sides of the aisle tell The Daily Beast that it's only a matter of time before the general public is allowed to view the document - which is likely to stoke already-inflamed tensions between GOP lawmakers and the individuals named in the leak.</p>
