(VIDEO) NUNES: "REMOVE FISA REDACTIONS"
July 23, 2018 Nunes calls for redactions to FISA warrant to be removed.
Yesterday on Ingraham chairman Nunes said the FISA secret court has to verify information provided to it. "If this is the way the FISA Courts are going to behave, everything is going to fall apart. I don't blame the judges. The judges were mislead." One of the contested points concerning the FISA application is the footnote in which the FBI indicates to the Court that the underlying, unverified Steele "dossier" was paid for by Hillary Clinton and the DNC. There would have been logic in maintaining the same identification method as used throughout the application. Thusly, Trump 'Candidate #1,' Clinton 'Candidate #2,' GOP 'Political Party #1, Democrats 'Political Party #2, etc. So why not tell judges that 'Candidate #2' and 'Political Party #2' funded the "dossier" so the Court could identify it as opposition research instead of evidence? Instead they obfuscated the point beyond recognition. The much maligned Nunes memo turns out to be correct on FISA warrant application. (More)
Monica Crowley goes into the question why the Obama administration did nothing to stop the Russian meddling: look no further than Obama's obsession with the Iran Nuke Deal; he balked at annoying the Iranian allies in Moscow. (More) Rush Limbaugh pointed out during his Wednesday show, it was Obama himself who gave the stand down order. According to a Yahoo News story from June 20:
“Obama cyber chief confirms ‘stand down’ order against Russian cyberattacks in summer 2016 — The Obama White House’s chief cyber official testified Wednesday that proposals he was developing to counter Russia’s attack on the U.S. presidential election were put on a ‘back burner’ after he was ordered to ‘stand down’ his efforts in the summer of 2016.” (More)

(VIDEO) THE FISA WARRANT AND THE NUNES MYSTERY
July 22, 2018 The FISA Warrant and a Nunes Mystery Solved?
In the video Tracy Beanz disappears deep into the weeds. And returns with gems for the aficionados. Senator Marco Rubio is proving himself once again on the wrong side of history siding with the deep state. In a tweet he attacked Carter Page, repeating utter nonsense brought up by the IC. It became clear how implausible the alleged Carter Page conspiracy theory is when Steele claimed Page was offered up to 19 percent of Gazprom - a bribe worth more than $30 billion! Did the FBI tell that to the court? It's laughable on its face. And even more so since Page helped the FBI take down a Russian in 2013. Page was more or less an FBI asset before this conspiracy started. "Two hops" is referring to steps removed from the target the FBI is authorized to look into, based on the FISA warrant. In other words, Page, contacts of Page, and contacts of contacts of Page. That's a hell of dragnet!
3 points @marcorubio
1. "This guy" is an American citizen, charged with no crime. He has a different opinion on Russia, that's it. You're a Senator talking about ordinary folks like this?
2. Page WAS on the campaign when FBI/CIA ran informant Stefan Halper at him

(ANALYSIS) FBI RELEASES FISA ABUSE DOCUMENTS
— IPayMyJizyaWith.357 (@SonofLiberty357) July 22, 2018
Finally Judicial Watch received some 412 heavily redacted pages under the Freedom of Information Act. But watchers can still glean a lot of intelligence from these documents, if only because it confirms what we already know from the Nunes memo, leaks, and probes from various other quarters. We will try to make the chaotic intelligible without going too deep into the weeds of American jurisprudence. First off, the documents confirm circular reasoning within the FBI. I.e. Hillary and the DNC paid ex British spy Christopher Steele millions to compile the "dossier" with the help of of his Russian contacts This "dossier" supposedly shows that Trump had been colluding with the Kremlin against Hillary.
Fusion GPS via Steele fed the phony Trump dossier to the FBI and then briefed the press. The press in turn claimed that this was “intelligence the FBI possessed” in order to help give the dossier credibility. Flashback to Nov 2017, @KimStrassel explains.pic.twitter.com/CD5iLCX0rO— Nick Short 🇺🇸 (@PoliticalShort) July 22, 2018
This unverified pile of fiction was the basis for an article by Hillary operative Michael Isikoff on Yahoo News (via unregistered Ukrainian agent Chalupa). The two "sources" were then used as the basis for a secret FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court) warrant to spy on marginal Trump campaign figure, Carter Page, who by then had left the Trump campaign altogether. FISA warrants extend far beyond the target; in effect anyone Page came into contact with, i.e. the entire Trump campaign was under surveillance. The FISA order was renewed three times. Deputy AG Rosenstein signed off on the final order. In the last congressional hearing Rosenstein refused to state if he actually read the application and its underlying documents. This is the broad outline of the content of the newly released documents. More in the coming days as watchers are combing through all 412 pages.
NEW: JW has been battling in court for months for access to the FISA applications /warrants + FISA Court orders related to the DOJ & FBI surveillance of members of the Trump campaign. And heavily redacted FISA docs re: Carter Page were just released.

(VIDEO) NUNES: DOJ "PART OF CLEAN-UP OR COVER-UP CREW"?
June 17, 2018 Devin Nunes talking to Maria Bartiromo.
This week is make or break for the Dept. of Justice. Nunes said this morning that Rosenstein and Wray have to decide this week, if they are part of the cover-up crew or part of the clean-up crew. Since the IG Report was released last Thursday some witnesses changed their testimony. It has now become clear that the FBI was running spies in the Trump campaign from May 2016, well before the start of the official counter-intelligence investigation. The window for the DoJ to comply with Congress is from tomorrow to Wednesday in order to thwart impeachment of Rosenstein and possibly FBI Director Wray as well.
Rep. @TGowdySC demanded DOJ disclose whether there were informants prior to July, 2016 gathering information and reporting on the Trump campaign - a CI investigation "that would be totally out of bounds," said @DevinNunes on @MariaBartiromo "My patience has run out," Nunes said.

Nunes, Gowdy accuse DOJ of launching anonymous attacks on congressional investigator are accusing the Justice Department of being behind “anonymous attacks” in the press targeting a House Intelligence Committee GOP staffer who helped author the committee’s well-publicized memo (...) Nunes and Gowdy were reacting to a weekend New York Times report that cited anonymous sources in detailing growing tension between the parties, amid a contentious request for records involving an individual and intelligence reporting that may have been used for the Russia case, as well as in obtaining surveillance warrants.
Citing a former federal law enforcement official, The New York Times reported that Rosenstein, who oversees the Russia probe, felt "misled" by Nunes' staff over House Intelligence Committee investigator Kash Patel's travel to London last year. (...) In response to the GOP committee chairmen, Justice Department spokesperson Sarah Isgur Flores said, “As Deputy Attorney General [Rod] Rosenstein has said repeatedly, we don't put a lot of stock in anonymous sources over here and we are committed to continuing to work with Chairmen Gowdy and Nunes to accommodate their requests.” (More)

House Intel Ctee chairman Nunes in desperation threatened the DoJ with holding AG Sessions in Contempt of Congress in a last ditch effort to obtain his unredacted order that established the Special Counsel. Judge Ellis in the Manafort case demanded the same (more). On May 3 Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd refused to give over the much redacted document (on account of loss of life, yes, really!). But why would a Contempt citation bother the DoJ? Eric Holder got a Contempt of Congress for withholding Fast and Furious documents. Then? Congress never got the documents and the Contempt Citation failed.
In an article on National Review former Prosecutor Andrew McCarthy thinks the President, as head of the Executive Branch has the duty to step in at this point. The redactions of the DoJ are unacceptable (more). Likely Trump's advisers do not at this stage want to insert the perception of obstruction of justice in the media and public opinion, even though legally that would not be the case.
Unredacted documents have shown that Flynn has not lied to the FBI. So what now is the status of the court case against him? It also proves Comey has been lying in all these book tour interviews!

Around 15:00 minutes
CNN walked away with a prestigious journalism award at Saturday night’s White House Correspondent’s Association dinner for their role in making public a briefing by intelligence officials to then President-elect Donald Trump. CNN reported the briefing “included allegations that Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump.” But the information briefed to the President was also leaked to the media by one of the same senior Obama administration officials who orchestrated the briefing and was hired by CNN months later as a paid analyst. Some are questioning now if this was ethical –a pay for play of sorts –as it raises serious questions about the role and responsibility that U.S. intelligence officials have when taking on paid positions as analysts for news organizations, while still retaining their high-level security clearances. It also raises similar questions about news organizations and their role of remaining objective and not paying their sources. (More)

.@MZHemingway: "After a year of rigorous investigation, there's no actual evidence of treasonous collusion between Trump and the Russian government." #Tucker pic.twitter.com/KUP8NL0LaV— Fox News (@FoxNews) April 28, 2018
The House Intelligence Committee released its long-anticipated and highly redacted Russian intelligence report Friday clearing President Donald Trump’s campaign from “colluding” with Russians in the 2016 presidential election and chiding the intelligence community for “significant intelligence tradecraft failings” as the committee found no evidence to date that collusion had occurred. The 248-page report, of which some pages were completely redacted after review by FBI and DOJ officials, have raised the ire of committee Republicans and will lead to a review of the report once again in an effort to un-redact elements of the report that the Committee says does not relate to the classified material. Numerous Congressional committees have complained openly that the DOJ and FBI continue to “stonewall” their investigations and have slow rolled documents needed for adequate oversight of the highly controversial investigations into Trump and the Bureau’s handling of former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server for government business.

(VIDEO) THE MEANING OF NUNES' BOMBSHELL INTERVIEW
Devin Nunes FULL interview with Maria Bartiromo - Excellent - 4/22/18 https://t.co/bAiIV7Z2UU via @YouTube— Jeff Dempsey (@RealJeffDempsey) April 23, 2018
Absolutely “NO COUNTER INTELLIGENCE” to support Mueller’s Russia/Trump Collusion Special Counsel.@dbongino @realDonaldTrump @LittellKevin @seanhannity#5Eyes
(...) So what we have now found, after the investigators have reviewed it, is that in fact, there was no intelligence. We have a traditional partnership with what's called the ‘Five Eyes’ agreement. The ‘Five Eyes’ agreement involves our friends in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Canada, and of course, us,” Nunes reiterated. “So, longtime intelligence procedures in place, we are not supposed to spy on each other's citizens, and its worked well, and it continues to work well. We know it's working well because there was no intelligence that passed through the ‘Five Eyes’ channels to our government, and that's why we had to see that original communication.”
What Nunes is suggesting here is that there's a standard operating procedure for any surveillance which against anyone from the five nations mentioned in which there's an official report as to why an individual has been ordered to be monitored using those ‘Five Eyes’ surveillance tools. In the investigation into then-Candidate and eventually President Trump, there was no documentation whatsoever that the surveillance was occurring. Whoever ordered this illicit spying against a candidate for President and the eventual President of the United States of America, did so behind the back of those in agreement with the ‘Five Eyes,’ violating a long-term policy of documenting the surveillance.
It appears as if the outcome of the election was bemused to be in the favor of Hillary Clinton winning, and that this or these entities responsible for the surveillance in the first place, believed that it would never be made public that the surveillance occurred. Essentially, this opens the possibility up that the surveillance used to monitor Donald Trump and his campaign could have easily been handed over to the Clinton Campaign to be used against the Trump Campaign. In fact, during the election season, most Americans will remember Hillary Clinton giving a speech where she condemned Americans as ‘Deplorable,’ even going as far as suggesting that Trump and those Americans were somehow being led by Russia’s Vladimir Putin.
So it would seem to imply that the surveillance used against Trump and his team was then shared with Clinton, and we can somewhat confirm this, by acknowledging the fact that the Federal Bureau of Investigation sent their agents to Rome to meet with Christopher Steele, former MI6 agent, and the face behind the Clinton Campaign-funded Fusion GPS Trump dossier. This is a serious crime. The Federal Bureau of Investigation directly interfered or attempted to interfere in the 2016 Presidential elections by not only assisting an entity funded by Hillary Clinton, but apparently spying on American citizens, illegally, who were involved in the Trump Campaign, and later sharing that information with employees of Hillary Clinton, via Fusion GPS.
This means that the 2016 Democratic Elections of our nation's the Constitutional Republic were, in fact, not democratic, since the Federal Government, led by the Obama Regime, interfered in them to attempt to change the outcome. It's very disturbing. “So now we're trying to figure out, as you know, why we're investigating the State Department, we know there are some major irregularities at the State Department, and we're trying to figure out how this information, about Mr. Papadopoulos of all people, who was supposedly meeting with some folks in London, how that made it over across into the FBI’s hands,” Nunes added (More)

As we reported yesterday eleven House Republicans are calling on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to prosecute a handful of individuals, including former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, ex-FBI Director James Comey, and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. Liberals and the media are maling light of the action, but in fact these referrals are already being acted upon by the Attorney General.
Sessions has already and repeatedly made it clear that he will act on these referrals and other potential criminal activity by former Obama officials after DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz issues his final report detailing the findings from his 15 month-long investigation into potential criminal wrongdoing by deep state DOJ and FBI personnel during the 2016 election campaign. That investigation also covers the FBI/DOJ handling of its sham investigation into the Clinton email scandal, and thus impacts every one of the Obama-era officials named in the DeSantis letter.

FISA ORDER RUSHED TO SPY ON TRUMP CAMPAIGN
SARA CARTER BOMBSHELL: "Secret" Text Messages Reveal DOJ/FBI May Have Rushed Spy Warrant On Trump Campaign https://t.co/HWq48ZabaTSARAH CARTER:SECRET TEXT MESSAGES REVEALDOJ/FBI MAY HAVE RUSHED SPY WARRANT ON TRUMP CAMPAIGN 👊👊LOCK THESE FREAKING CROOKS UPOR FIRE MUELLER— 🇺🇸@PradRachael🇺🇸 (@PradRachael) April 3, 2018
Secret text messages between then-FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page show Justice Department and FBI officials may have speeded up the FISA warrant application process to spy on the Trump campaign.
Communications uncovered by congressional investigators reveal the FBI may have improperly coordinated with Department of Justice officials in an effort to pressure those officials to expedite a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance warrant on a former volunteer with the President Trump’s campaign, congressional officials said. Text messages obtained by investigators reveal that FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok and his colleague Lisa Page were discussing the FBI’s difficulty in obtaining the warrant to spy on Carter Page, who worked for a short stint with the Trump campaign. The FBI obtained its first warrant to spy on Page on Oct. 19, 2016, and there would be three subsequent renewals every 90 days for the warrant on Mr. Page.
The communications, which were first released last week and obtained by congressional investigators, occurred roughly one month before the Page warrant was obtained. The communications suggested that there was possible coordination by Obama White House officials, the CIA and the FBI into the investigation into President Donald Trump’s campaign, as reported earlier. In one of the September 2016 text message chains, Strzok tells Lisa Page about an argument that occurred with former DOJ prosecutor David Laufman. Laufman, who was then chief of the DOJ’s National Security Division’s Counterintelligence and Export Control Section, oversaw the probe into former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, as well as the alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election. Laufman left the DOJ earlier this year citing personal reasons for leaving his post, according to news reports. (More)

Newly discovered text messages obtained by The Federalist reveal two key federal law enforcement officials conspired to meet with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) judge who presided over the federal case against Michael Flynn. The judge, Rudolph Contreras, was recused from handling the case just days after accepting the guilty plea of President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser who was charged with making false statements to federal investigators. The text messages about Contreras between controversial Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) lawyer Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, the senior FBI counterintelligence official who was kicked off Robert Mueller’s special counsel team, were deliberately hidden from Congress, multiple congressional investigators told The Federalist. In the messages, Page and Strzok, who are rumored to have been engaged in an illicit romantic affair, discussed Strzok’s personal friendship with Contreras and how to leverage that relationship in ongoing counterintelligence matters.

For more than a month, the committee has been in its second phase of investigations focused on former Obama State Department officials and their role in either transmitting information or using information provided by a former British spy and investigator Christopher Steele. Steele was hired by embattled research firm Fusion GPS, also under several congressional and Senate investigations. (More)

(VIDEO) INTERVIEW MARK LEVIN WITH DEVIN NUNES
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., informed the Justice Department on Thursday that the FBI may have violated criminal statutes when it sought Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants to spy on ex-Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page. The move comes two days after Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that the DOJ's inspector general will investigate the alleged FISA abuses. In a letter sent to Sessions, Nunes wrote that the apparent use of the controversial "Trump dossier" to make the case for spying on Page suggests a "clear violation" of FBI protocols because it contained unverified information. And such a breach of protocol may have violated five criminal statutes, including conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and contempt of court. Nunes asked Sessions to answer two questions. One concerns the FBI protocols that appear to have been violated, via the 2011 Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide. Nunes asked if there has been an update to the October 2011 version, which said "only documented and verified information may be used to support FBI applications to the court.” The second question asked what steps the DOJ or the FBI has taken to "hold accountable those officials who violated these protocols," if the guide has not been updated since 2011. Nunes is demanding a response by March 8 (More)

The Schiff Memo Harms Democrats More Than It Helps Them
It confirms that the FBI and the DOJ relied heavily on uncorroborated, third-hand, anonymous sources in their FISA application.
By Andrew C. McCarthy
Maybe Adam Schiff has more of a sense of humor than I’d have given him credit for. The House Intelligence Committee’s ranking Democrat begins his long-awaited memo — the minority response to the Nunes memo that was penned by staffers of the committee’s Republican majority — by slamming Chairman Devin Nunes’s unconscionable “risk of public exposure of sensitive sources and methods for no legitimate purpose.” The Schiff memo, which has been delayed for weeks because the FBI objected to its gratuitous effort to publicize highly classified intelligence, including methods and sources, then proceeds to tell its tale through what appear to be scores of blacked-out redactions of information Schiff pushed to expose.
Heavy Reliance on Steele Dossier Confirmed
The FBI and the Justice Department heavily relied on the Steele dossier’s uncorroborated allegations. You know this is true because, notwithstanding the claim that “only narrow use” was made “of information from Steele’s sources,” the Democrats end up acknowledging that “only narrow use” actually means significant use — as in, the dossier was the sine qua non of the warrant application. The memo concedes that the FISA-warrant application relied on allegations by Steele’s anonymous Russian hearsay sources that (More)
Yes - and another KEY point : FISA law required that the FBI/DOJ show not only that Page was acting as an agent of Russia, but also that his “clandestine” activities on behalf of Russia were a likely violation of federal criminal law.

The Democrat memo response on government surveillance abuses is a total political and legal BUST. Just confirms all of the terrible things that were done. SO ILLEGAL!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 24, 2018
Wrong again, Mr. President. It confirms the FBI acted appropriately and that Russian agents approached two of your advisors, and informed your campaign that Russia was prepared to help you by disseminating stolen Clinton emails. https://t.co/G128SNicdn— Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) February 24, 2018

(VIDEO) SHARYL ATTKISSON INTERVIEW WITH DEVIN NUNES
Feb 19, 2018 Sharyl Attkisson talks to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes. (More)
House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes has sent a series of questions about the Trump dossier to a number of current and former government officials. The committee did not specify to whom Nunes sent the questions, but a spokesman said the letter has gone to more than 20 recipients. The questions concern when the recipients first became aware of "the information contained in the Steele dossier," referring to the compilation of anti-Trump allegations compiled during the 2016 campaign by former British spy Christopher Steele. The letter asks who the recipients may have shared dossier information with. They ask when the recipient first learned that the dossier was financed by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. They ask when President Obama was made aware of the information in the dossier. And more. The letter asks for answers by March 2. "If you do not provide timely answers on a voluntary basis, the committee will initiate compulsory process," the letter says, in a clear threat to subpoena any uncooperative recipients. Here is the list of questions (More)
