To understand the Four Page House Intelligence Memo at the heart of today’s FISA Abuse stories, it helps to understand why the memo is needed. We wrote about the issue in a March 2017 outline called: “The Nunes Paradox” – SEE HERE
As the year-long story has unfolded, there are two central components at the heart of the political corruption and weaponization of the DOJ and FBI:
♦First, corruption within the DOJ and FBI that included their use of unlawful use of FISA-702 exploits; and ♦Second, how that intelligence information was extracted, passed along to those outside government, repackaged, and reconstituted into the “Steele Dossier”. The finished, albeit sketchy, intelligence was later returned to the FBI to request lawful FISA court surveillance authority. It is a circle of “intelligence laundering”.
The DOJ (National Security Division), and FBI (Counterintelligence Division), worked together on the enterprise. This collaboration is where the insider “small group” participants assemble, intersect and ultimately redistribute themselves into the Mueller investigation with the help of Mueller’s adviser, FBI Chief Legal Counsel James Baker.

I saw Donald Trump Jr. on Hannity (I think) and he was on for minutes. I do believe that in explaining all of these corrupt doings (the crappy/illegal efforts against his father), he was near tears for a long period as he explained things. It was pretty touching.

GOVERNMENT HAS TURNED ON THE PEOPLE
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Don Jr. was on Tucker’s show. He said he was interviewed for 20 hours by SC for a 20 min BS meeting. For me, that is another reason to doubt the theory that Mueller is some sort of white hat.

MEMORY LANE--Obama DHS Awarded $400,000 to Group
Whose Leader Called for Overthrowing President Trump
freebeacon.com ^ | 2/2/17 | Washington Free Beacon Staff
FR Posted on 2/2/2017 by ColdOne
A week before Barack Obama left the White House, the Department of Homeland Security (headed by his hand-picked appointee, Jeh Johnson) gave a $400,000 grant to an organization whose leader has called for President Trump to be overthrown.
The DHS on Jan. 13 announced grants it was giving out as part of an effort to fight radical Islam. One of the groups to receive money was Life After Hate, which received $400,000, according to the Gateway Pundit.
The co-founder and chairman of the group is Christian Picciolini, who has implied on social media that Trump is a Nazi and called for his overthrow. (Excerpt) Read more at freebeacon.com ...
I’ve been calling!...We all need to!
Noticed that too....God bless him!
Reading it at the State of the Union address would be memorable. Perhaps, a memorable as the his comments at the Alfred Smith dinner.

I am happy that someone else noticed. It cauded me see D. T. Jr. in a very different light than I had been seeing him. He especially seemed to have to control his emotions as he was talking about the doctor's long report on his father's health.
It was moving.
Sorry, but he should have been prosecuted and received a DD. However, Hillary should have been prosecuted and jailed too.
Johnson, a career civil servant with that kind of money ought to be surprising, especially b/c of Johnson's outreach efforts to Muslim Brotherhood outfits......jihadist groups beatified by Obama. (Obama gave the M/B $2 billion tax dollars early on.)
UPDATE: During the years when Republicans controlled the levers of power, Johnson worked for a law firm that represented the Guantanamo Bay detainees — very vigorously. Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison attorneys went so far as to smuggle in materials to the detainees. “If I’d gotten caught passing war news to detainees,” one former DOD official said, “my security clearance would have been pulled.”
This week has seen the release of many incriminating documents from the Democratic National Convention (DNC), via Wikileaks’ so-called “Guccifer 2.0.” The authenticity of these documents is in some question, as they passed through the hands of an outfit which has alleged Russian ties.
Hackers are in the business of violating people’s expectations of privacy in unethical ways, and the interests of foreign powers are not necessarily aligned with the interests of the United States. We cannot be sure that the hackers are ethical enough to pass the documents on unaltered, in other words, nor that the release of the documents is not chiefly aimed at some hostile foreign nation’s ends. Thus, we have to analyze all of these documents with some care.
By the same token, however, it is worth analyzing these documents with that care. America was founded with a system of checks and balances intended to prevent one branch of government from becoming too powerful. That was true both within the Federal government, where the three branches are balanced against each other, and between the Federal government and the states.
Those systems of checks and balances have become increasingly compromised by unethical behavior within the Obama Federal government, such as the IRS scandal. It has been further compromised by the increased centralization of power that has tipped the balance away from the states and toward the central, Federal, government. We are less likely to see our own system performing adequately to check centralized power, and thus might consider external checks such as that provided by a foreign power with opposing interests to our administration’s.
Likewise, credibility is the currency of “special war” — including information warfare of the type the Russians are using here. If their outlets are not credible, they will be less effective. We must always check to see whether they are trying to slip one past us, of course. On the other hand, they have an interest in providing damaging information that is accurate and that will be found credible on investigation. We can’t skip the investigation, but there is a prima facie reason to take the charges seriously pending an investigation.

I don’t want a long era of GOP Presidents... I want a long era of Conservative Presidents with the courage of Donald Trump.
