The House Intelligence Committee's top Democrat announced Wednesday that the committee will release a memo to counter the claims of Republicans on the panel that law enforcement officials are biased against the Trump administration. Top Republicans on the committee, led by Chairman Devin Nunes (Calif.), have sought the release of a classified memo compiled by Nunes's staff saying the FBI and Justice Department abused the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act's wiretapping provisions. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the panel's ranking member, now says Democrats must release their own memo "setting out the relevant facts and exposing the misleading character of the Republicans’...

Link only as content is scanned document. A kind FReeper sent me the link and when I asked for clarification, they replied with the following intriguing email "My understanding is that it was released globally by William Binney, who is the man Trump has put in charge of cleaning up the NSA. Apparently, the four page memo in Congress is a summary of this document. Memogate is definitely big, but that, right now, is referring to the 4 page document authored by Nunes." I appreciate leads like this. So we're putting this document forward for those FReepers who may wish...

This has been republished from Sept. 20, 2017 ... Six U.S. agencies created a stealth task force, spearhead by CIA’s Brennan, to run domestic surveillance on Trump associates and possibly Trump himself. To feign ignorance and to seemingly operate within U.S. laws, the agencies freelanced the wiretapping of Trump associates to the British spy agency GCHQ. The decision to insert GCHQ as a back door to eavesdrop was sparked by the denial of two FISA Court warrant applications filed by the FBI to seek wiretaps of Trump associates. GCHQ did not work from London or the UK. In fact the...

House Republicans are hopeful that a four-page memo allegedly containing "jaw-dropping" revelations about U.S. government surveillance abuses will soon be made public. Rep. Dave Joyce, a Republican from Ohio, told Fox News on Monday that the intelligence committee plans to work on releasing the document but warned that once Americans see it, they’ll “be surprised how bad it is.” The process of releasing the memo could take up to 19 congressional working days which puts its release around mid-March. The document’s release would first need approval from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., who can decide to bring the...

... RINO Republican Peter King is now advocating a memo on Deep State/Obama administration abuses NOT be released due to concerns over “national security” Members of Congress like Peter King are right when they say the memo might very well be a threat to security – namely THEIR security as millions of outraged Americans come to realize just how corrupt and deceitful their government has become, and how that corruption was escalated ten-fold during the Obama years. As of now, the document is being held under guard inside a secure room within the U.S. Capitol building – an odd level...

Unlike many of my readers, who seem to live in more conservative communities and have like-minded friends, I’ve spent my entire life in Democrat enclaves. Whether I meet the gals for coffee, walk the dogs with a friend, or open my Facebook feed, I am inundated with Progressive-think — everything from Trump-Hitler (an amped-up of version of Bush-Hitler), to “we must open our border to third world immigrants” (or, as some wit called them “Turd world” immigrants), to the fact that we are in imminent danger of freezing, drowning, boiling, dehydrating, etc. to death because of anthropogenic climate change. Because...

More than 130 congressional members have viewed the classified four-page memo detailing what senior government officials describe as “disturbing and explosive” surveillance abuse by employees of the FBI and Department of Justice under the Obama administration against President Trump and members of his campaign. But almost all of them were Republicans. Congressional officials expect the classified memo to be made available to the public before the end of the month. In order to make the classified memo public, the House Intelligence Committee, chaired by California Republican Devin Nunes, must first have another vote, a congressional source stated. The vote is...

Well, then. We’ve heard a few hot takes surrounding the classified House Intelligence Committee memo that allegedly outlines FISA abuses during the 2016 campaign, but this one from Resistance leader Scott Dworkin is really something special. Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff has come out against releasing the memo, but Dworkin is actually claiming that anyone who wants the memo released — and that includes a number of Republican members of Congress — is a traitor. Scott Dworkin ✔ @funder There is absolutely no piece of paper like this stupid memo Devin Nunes is blabbing about that changes the fact dozens of...

Thought it would be interesting to compile a list of MSM, or other prominant news outlets that are covering the four page FISA memo that was introduced to the HOR Thursday. Please include links if you wish!

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 HEREAs 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...

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) joined Liz Clamon Thursday on FOX Business Network to discuss an intelligence memo of a memo he was just given that involves the foreign intelligence surveillance program.

A four-page memo circulating in Congress that reveals alleged United States government surveillance abuses is being described by lawmakers as “shocking,” “troubling” and “alarming,” with one congressman likening the details to KGB activity in Russia. Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz said: “I believe the consequence of its release will be major changes in people currently working at the FBI and the Department of Justice,” he said, referencing DOJ officials Rod Rosenstein and Bruce Ohr.

Full Title: Kimberley Strassel: Democrat's tactics in the Trump-Russia probe are starting to look a lot like McCarthyismDemocrats have spent weeks making the case that the Russia-Trump probes need to continue, piling on demands for more witnesses and documents. So desperate is the left to keep this Trump cudgel to hand that Senate Intelligence Committee Democrats have moved toward neo- McCarthyism. If that sounds hyperbolic, consider an email recently disclosed by the Young Turks Network, a progressive YouTube news channel. It’s dated Dec. 19, 2017, and its author is April Doss, senior counsel for the committee’s Democrats, including Vice Chairman...

No dirt on Clinton, a passing mention of adoptions, and a lot on Bill Browder and the Magnitsky Act. Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya arrived at a June 2016 meeting with Donald Trump Jr. armed with a set of talking points arguing American officials were hoodwinked into slapping human rights sanctions on Russia in 2012 and that efforts to expand those measures would hurt relations between Washington and Moscow. According to her talking points, obtained by Foreign Policy, Veselnitskaya made the case that the American businessman Bill Browder perpetrated a massive scheme of tax fraud against the Russian state and then...

James Damore, the Google employee who was fired earlier this month after writing a memo critical of the company’s progressive culture, is planning to sue his former employer. Business Insider reports he is now being represented by a civil rights attorney known for involvement with the Republican Party: [Harmeet ] Dhillon’s confirmed she is representing Damore to Business Insider. She said her firm is currently gathering facts about his case, but no lawsuit has been filed yet. A national committeewoman for the California Republican party, Dhilon was in the national spotlight when she delivered a Sikh prayer during the 2016...

Here is the entire memo... POTUS & POLITICAL WARFARE   May 2017   BACKGROUND.  The Trump administration is suffering under withering information campaigns designed to first undermine, then de legitimize and ultimately remove the President. Possibly confusing these attacks with an elevated interplay of otherwise normal D.C. partisan infighting and adversarial media relations, the White House response to these campaigns reflects a political advocacy mindset that it is intensely reactive, severely under-inclusive and dangerously inadequate to the threat. If action is not taken to re-scope and respond to these hostile campaigns very soon, the administration risks implosion and subsequent early...

Media outlets are lying about a memo written by one of Google’s top scientists, which calls out the tech-giant’s illegal discrimination practices and blinding liberal biases. Google has fired the author of the memo, James Damore, after the document received considerable backlash and was unfairly portrayed by many news outlets. Here are some of the more blatant lies about the memo perpetuated by news media outlets. 1. The Washington Post {..snip..}

He felt he needed to take notes to protect himself. (snipp). Being much concerned he had Richman spill to the NY Times. Richman swears (he) never has seen the memo, he was just remembering what he “had been told” about it. (snipp) Muller, after a full day of book baking, re-create “Comy’s dream memo, extemporaneous. Rev 1”.

Comey now claims he deleted his original memos, and the professor he gave a copy to is in hiding. Totally normal.
