On the Dan Bongino show today, he discussed an issue with has had a lot of theories advanced about it: Where did the FBI get the transcript of the phone conversation between Michael Flynn and the Russian Ambassador Kislyak? There are a limited number of legal ways to get this conversation and the names of the two people, one a foreign national, one a US citizen: Go to a court and get warrant. There needs to be a worthy reason that is a violation of the law, and that is presented to the judge when applying for the warrant. It...

Former Vice President Joe Biden and other top Obama officials received information in response to "unmasking" requests targeting retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn in the final weeks of the previous administration, according to a memo declassified by acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell. The list, obtained by the Washington Examiner on Wednesday, shows Biden received information at least once in response to such an unmasking request on Jan. 12, 2017

Former Vice President Joe Biden was among those who requested Michael Flynn’s identity be revealed in intelligence reports — a process known as “unmasking” — according to documents made available to two Republican senators by Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell on Wednesday. According to the document, Biden made the request on January 12, 2017, eight days before leaving office; an accompanying memo to Grenell, signed by National Security Agency Director Paul Nakasone, specifies that each official listed was “an authorized recipient” and that the “unmasking” was approved through the agency’s normal process. Sens. Grassley and Johnson said in...

Susan Rice's bizarre Inauguration Day email about that meeting helps explain the campaign of leaks, lies, and obstruction that followed. Information released in the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss the case it brought against Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn confirms the significance of a January 5, 2017, meeting at the Obama White House. It was at this meeting that Obama gave guidance to key officials who would be tasked with protecting his administration’s utilization of secretly funded Clinton campaign research, which alleged Trump was involved in a treasonous plot to collude with Russia, from being discovered or stopped by the incoming...

Full Title is: Tom Fitton: Obama Told Comey “Good Luck” During Crossfire Hurricane Planning Session in White House – Day Before Comey Met Trump with Junk Dossier (VIDEO) Judicial Watch founder Tom Fitton joined Gregg Jarrett on Lou Dobbs Tonight to discuss the latest on the Democrats’ slapdash impeachment. During the discussion Tom Fitton said bogus accusations will be held against this president as long as the House is controlled by the coup cabal.

The [new IG Report] reveals that Comey told Obama and other officials at a White House Situation Room meeting...that "the FBI was trying to determine whether any U.S. person had worked with the Russians" and that they were looking into "four individuals with some association or connection to the Trump campaign." Others present at the meeting [were Rice, Clapper, and Brennan], none of whom were interviewed for [the new IG Report]. Incredibly, Comey claimed that no one at the meeting "responded or followed up with any questions" (p. 110).

Up until now, President Obama has said he knew nothing about the FBI bid to destroy his political rival, Donald J.Trump, as evidenced in the newly released and mighty critical Inspector General, report.Back in August 2016, Obama said:  "I do not talk to the attorney general about pending investigations. I do not talk to FBI directors about pending investigations," he insisted. "I guarantee that there is no political influence in any investigation conducted by the Justice Department or the FBI -- not just in this case, but in any case. FULL STOP. PERIOD. Guaranteed. Nobody gets treated differently when...

The best half hour of TV in a decade occurred last night on Laura Ingraham’s “The Ingraham Angle”. Guests former mayor of New York and President Trump’s attorney, Rudy Giuliani, and former US Attorney Joe diGenova tore into the Democrat’s phony impeachment and then went to the heart of all the corruption in D.C. and they were brilliant. Shortly before a break Laura’s guests shared the following – Rudy – For years Obama had a pay for play operation in his administration and it’s disgusting and one of the reasons they’re fighting so hard – If Biden comes out, so...

Check out 0:54 in this video of Biden's speech when he mentions how the Ukrainians balked at having billions taken away if Ukraine did not fire the prosecutor investigating Hunter. Two little words not mentioned. Obama was in on this! Listen closely from 0:48 to 0:59.

John Kerry, President Obama’s secretary of state, seems to be having trouble staying within the legal bounds of the Logan Act, so it’s not surprising that his State Department lieutenants were getting their hands dirty in the conspiracy to bring down Donald Trump. Judicial Watch now has received more evidence of this anti-Trump conspiracy. With The Daily Caller News Foundation, they just released 16 pages of documents revealing senior State Obama officials – Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and Special Coordinator for Libya Jonathan Winer – coordinated with incoming House Majority Whip Steny Hoyer’s (D-MD) national security advisor, Daniel...

President Donald Trump’s long-anticipated visit to Europe during the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion has now come and gone. He arrived in the United Kingdom on June 3 and departed for Ireland on June 5 before hopping across the channel for the official D-Day ceremonies in France on June 6. What I would like to draw attention to is what occurred immediately prior to Trump’s arrival in the UK, and what subsequently happened immediately after his departure. Just prior to Trump’s visit, UK Prime Minister Theresa May announced that she would be resigning. She made this announcement on May...

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” President Donald Trump said former President Barack Obama “had to know” about FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page working against him being elected. Trump said, “There was no crime. There was no collusion. The big thing is collusion. Now, there’s no collusion. That means they set — it was a setup. In my opinion, and I think it’s going to come out.” Stephanopoulos asked, “You clearly believe there was a group of people working against you. Do you think President Obama was behind it?” Trump said, “I would say that he certainly must have...

Because OF COURSE, Chris Cuomo thought it was a good idea to interview Obama’s wingman, Eric Holder, about impeaching Donald Trump. This IS CNN

On Tuesday, the Washington Post, our hometown newspaper here in the nation's capital, published an op-ed by former FBI Director Jim Comey. In the piece, Comey explains that whatever surveillance the Obama Justice Department conducted on the 2016 Trump campaign was entirely justified and within bounds -- nothing weird about it at all. Yes, American citizens were monitored electronically without their knowledge, but it wasn't spying. Of course, it wasn't "spying." It was "investigating." It was done for your own good. And if you don't like it, you're unpatriotic and possibly, mentally ill. That's Comey's position. What the op-ed did...

Former President Barack Obama knew his FBI director was going to "blackmail" incoming President Trump in January 2017, attorney Joe diGenova said. Last week former FBI General Counsel James Baker admitted the bureau was worried that former FBI Director James Comey would appear to be “blackmailing” the president-elect at the end of a Jan. 6, 2017 briefing at Trump Tower when he divulged some of the most salacious claims in an unverified dossier about Trump's ties to Russia. Appearing on Fox News late Sunday, diGenova noted this briefing happened one day after Obama met with top officials in the Oval...

“This astonishing confirmation, made under oath by the FBI, shows that the Obama FBI had to go to President Obama’s White House office to find emails that Hillary Clinton tried to destroy or hide from the American people.” ....Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said in a statement....... “No wonder Hillary Clinton has thus far skated — Barack Obama is implicated in her email scheme.” As part of a court-ordered discovery related to Clinton’s unauthorized email server, Bill Priestap was asked by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch to identify representatives of Clinton, her former staff, and government agencies from which “email...

With Attorney General William Barr concluding that special counsel Robert Mueller’s report does not call for a probe on President Donald Trump over his alleged Russian collusion, the president and Vice President Mike Pence are encouraging Barr bar to investigate the Obama administration based on the AG’s belief that the former president spied on Trumps’ 2016 campaign. The new probe would seek evidence uncovering the origins of Democrats’ collusion allegations against the president that started during Obama’s last year in the White House as Trump was campaigning for his White House bid. Let’s get to the bottom of the lie...

President Trump blasted the Obama FBI for making 11 payments to the “fake dossier’s discredited author, Trump-hater Christopher Steele. Judicial Watch previously released evidence that Fusion GPS and founder Christopher Steele was paid 11 times for their work on the phony dossier. The Clinton campaign also paid Fusion GPS for the fraudulent dossier that made its way to the top levels of the Obama deep state and was the only “evidence” used to spy on the Trump Campaign in the 2016 election.

Shortened title. Full title: President Trump Tweets McCarthy Article: “There is no doubt that the Obama administration spied on the Trump campaign” President Trump draws attention today to an article written by Andrew McCarthy. NY Post […] “As night follows day, we were treated to the same Beltway hysteria we got this week: Silly semantic carping over the word “spying” — which, regardless of whether a judge authorizes it, is merely the covert gathering of intelligence about a suspected wrongdoer, organization or foreign power. There is no doubt that the Obama administration spied on the Trump campaign. As Barr made...
