Best I saw last ref to FISA + [20] was that 20 refers to the targeted pages Nunes has requested be un-redacted.

MAGA Dittos!
Yep, bring them on!
She’s just making a flat denial, which they will continue to do.
Steven W. posted a POTUS TWEET and points out a misspelling:
Makes one think, “Something BIG is about to drop” ... seriously!
We’ve got another “typo”! SMOCKING!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Very interesting Tweet misspelling of POTUS’.
“SMOCKING” for some reason made me think of early days of the Tonight Show, one of which’s early shapers was Steve Allen. (I’ve seen accounts where he is given credit and some where Jack Paar is given credit. I’m neutral on the point.)
Allen used to crack up my entire family sometimes when he would launch into a loony tirade, hollering, “SMOCK SMOCK SMOCK!!” We really would roll on the floor laughing!
I did a search looking for any significant or relevant ties that Trump might have had with Steve Allen. However, I did find a few things which potentially pointed to why Trump might be referring to Steve Allen or pointing at him through the “SMOCK!ing” reference.
While I’m not certain of the value the following may have to our Q researches (and there may actually be some value) I did find some things that seem intrinsically worth sharing:
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
This 2017 article actually could have some Q value down the road, if not now, for it references a short story by Steve Allen which was prescient in its theme of a society focusing its hate on one person, much like what we are seeing today.
It may (or may not) be what POTUS was calling to mind with Steve Allen’s distinctive “SMOCK!!” squawk. I offer the link and some excerpts to you simply because I think it is of interest all on its own:

The ‘Public Hating’ of Donald Trump
By Jennifer Logue | August 30, 2017, 11:15 EDT
“In 1955, popular talk show host Steve Allen wrote a chilling short story. Set in the faraway future of the late 1970s, the story begins in New York City’s Yankee Stadium, where some 70,000 spectators munch on hot dogs and down cold beers as they eagerly await the afternoon’s main event.
But this is no World Series game for which the crowds have assembled. In Allen’s dystopian future, they are there to join in a “public hating.” Drawing on the depths of their collective hatred, the mob directs such powerful mass hostility and rage at a political prisoner that the unlucky victim actually suffers physical pain, writhing and convulsing to the point of death.”
“Today – at a time when the American Left has taken its personal animosity toward President Donald Trump to hysterical and at times violent extremes – Allen’s story, “The Public Hating,” seems practically clairvoyant. Instead of gathering in a stadium, today’s haters post photos online of the president’s bloody, decapitated head....”
snip
“Ironically, Allen wrote his story amid the national fear of Communist infiltration that became known as McCarthyism. At the time, it was the American Left that decried the witch hunt atmosphere of the McCarthy hearings....”
snip
“Yet today, it is the Left and its media allies who have set as their goal nothing less than the removal from office of a lawfully elected sitting U.S. president. No outlandish rumor is beyond circulation, no crisis beyond exploitation.....”
snip
“The parallel between “The Public Hating” and the Left’s hatred for Donald Trump is shown most acutely through the short story’s master of ceremonies – identified as the former president of Harvard University – who whips the crowd into a frenzy of mass animosity capable of inflicting pain and death. He is the personification of today’s mainstream media...”
snip
“The saving grace of “The Public Hating” is a lone figure who observes the crowd’s malevolent assault with growing horror. As he watches the sea of faces contorted with rage and the prisoner thrashing about in anguish, he finds he can stomach the brutal attack no longer. Rejecting hatred, he stands up and leaves before the mob completes its repugnant task.”
“Today’s Left is similarly consumed by hate – so much so, that it seems as though hating Trump has become the new McCarthyism. How long must we wait before the American people can no longer stomach the vicious attacks on President Trump and say, “Enough”?”

*texokie sits on the floor of the tunnel and sharpens shovel and stands up and breaks into another tunnel direction*
Then I learned that apparently President Trump was/is a member of the New York Friars Club, which in a nut shell, is a posh comedy club.
Of note is that Steve Allen, as one might expect, was probably a member. The Wiki entry states that the club had produced a 1999 Cinemax film featuring previously “unseen footage of roasts and interviews with Friars such as Milton Berle, Buddy Hackett, Sid Caesar, Steve Allen, Henny Youngman, Jeffrey Ross, Larry King, Ed McMahon, and Phyllis Diller.”
I did not see a direct intersect between Allen and Trump in that context, but it is true that in 2004, Trump was roasted by Regis Philben. The next year, Trump roasted Don King. Steve Allan died in 2000.
It might be noted that there are a LOT of very well known figures cited in the wiki article as having ties to the club - and consequently potentially with Donald J. Trump as well.
*texokie marks the wall in that area for future excavation if developing data warrants it*
This is the wiki link I was viewing:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Friars_Club
~ ~ ~ ~
I found a news report of the death of Steve Allen as being from complications from a car crash. He had been working on an article:
“...On the day of his death, Allen was planning the promotion of his 53rd book and working on the manuscript for a 54th, “Vulgarians at the Gate”, about what he saw as an increase in violence and vulgarity in the media.”
Now that is quite an interesting topic, in light of recent events.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
*Search engine redirects texokie who is at the end of that particular tunnellette*
Then the guys at duckduckgo brought me a couple of tweets from Steve Allen Jr. It seems that Mr Steve Allen Jr does not appear to be a very big fan of our current President. I don’t do twitter, and so was unable to figure out what date he released this tweet:
Steve Allen Retweeted Donald J. Trump and replied to the POTUS tweet:
“But you didn’t have the guts to confront Putin face to face about it. I meet people like you now and again down at my local pub, their stories get distorted and grow with each day that passes, yeh, it was this big but got away! Please grow up and don’t take poeple for idiots.”
I made an effort to collect the link for this one, but now I find it did not make it to my draft copy. He was answering someone else’s question about DJT’s tweeting in the following.
Steve Allen

“Normally, I’d rather he not spend 4 hours a morning watching faux and friends and tweeting conspiracy nonsense, but I’ve sort of changed my mind recently. Twitter is putting his , ahem, personality on full display. If we has being this paranoid and, frankly, unstable in private we might not have any idea of the damage he is doing.
But he loves being the center of attention more than anything, and given that we can’t trust anything he actually says (since he contradicts himself, sometimes even minutes apart), more information about his state of mind (irk) is better than none.”
*texokie shakes her head as she sets aside that text from a soul who sounds so very unhappy*

*texokie then heaves a sigh of expectation and followed by exasperation when directed by Mr. D.-D.-Go to look at how Hollywood viewed Donald Trump before the Presidency.

Timing Is Everything: What Hollywood Thought of Donald Trump before He Was President
JENNI FINK | MAR 18, 2017 | 6:02 PM
As one might expect, people thought “The Donald” was cool. There are quite few great pix of our POTUS in those earlier years.
His appearances listed in the article include, “Fresh Prince of Belaire,” and “Sex in the City,”
At one point, he and Melania posed for pictures with Alec and Carol M. Baldwin at a fund raiser for breast cancer research.
There are a couple of pictures with him rubbing shoulders with people in the fashion industry, such as Anna Wintour, a Clinton supporter.
Another Clinton supporters was among his fans:
“Actress Lena Dunham was a staunch supporter of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. But, in a 2013 episode of the show “Girls,” which she co-produced, one character encouraged her boyfriend to go see the future president speak.”
Trump entertained Rod Stewart at Mar a Lago. “ Stewart reportedly said Trump isn’t “made to be president,” but claimed his politics are separate from their friendship.”
The article documents the friendship between Trumps and Clintons, including the friendship of Chelsea and Ivanka, and “a quick Google image search reveals Donald Trump on a slew of red carpets, surrounded by celebrities.”
*but no Steve Allen connection. texokie wipes the ladylike perspiration from her forehead and turns another direction and marks some very promising tunnellettes. texokie’s cell phone magically receives signal, even as deep down in the hole as she is. She answers the phone*
Hi! what ya need? Hmmm hmmmm.. oh ok.. just gotta put this stuff away and climb out!
*texokie puts away the phone, peaks around the corner and is quite startled at what she finds. She marks it with the red spray paint - not the blue. She’s really glad she had a ball of twine, because it IS a confusing warren down here. She climbs out, hoses off, and determines to come back for the rest tomorrow. This is possibly not a completely dry bunny hole after all*

The power of #QAnon is that it’s a pro-#MAGA information channel, that uses misinformation as well as curated real intel, to generate informed speculation.
This is EXACTLY what the team behind Q would want. Whoever is behind Q has stratospheric IQ - it’s pure genius
Please Please tell me you guys are going to drop the kilt slide sometime soon?????
:-) Luv you guys but it has gone on for days!!
Manafort’s security is being held in solitary confinement. I wonder what this means. Does it mean he’s in an isolated area where he doesn’t engage with the prison population? Or does it mean he’s in the SHU, the Security Housing Unit also known as The Hole? Because that would be really bad.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Wow! That’s a great question and point! ...... to which I have no answer! Hope someone else might weigh in!
It looks like the DS “Ministry of Truth” has lost control of the “Newspeak” cycle!
It would seem with the Awakening brought by POTUS, Q, TRUTH, JUSTICE, THE AMERICAN WAY, with the help of the Autist Army and the FreeQ Division (often compared to Immortals from the 4D Dimension) is well underway.
As we Red Pill America and by extension The WW let us keep our morals high as we let the light of the Truth guide us to reclaiming America’s place as the World’s Shining City on the Hill! A place where Honor, Integrity, Love, Righteousness, Justice and Mercy live in the open as the normal way of life for all!
I truly believe the MSM just pulled the chock out from under the Snowball that is forming the Avalanche!
MAGA! WWG1WGA!
The “Q” team hits MAXIMUM SATURATION!

Their sense of desperation is only outweighed by their (knowing but ignorant) denial.
