COMING SOON: The 9th Annual Fabulous 50 Blog Awards... #Fab50

Punt the Pulitzers! Flush those stinking Nobel Prizes! Emmys? I spit on the Emmys. And forget the Oscars! Has-beens and never-was'es, especially since Jason Statham hasn't ever won for his magnificent Transporter performances. No, there's only one award ceremony worth watching... and it's coming within the next few days.

Every year at this time we are pleased to announce the winners of the Fabulous 50 Blog Awards™ (Note: until the award ceremony, this link refers to last year's winners), recognizing the year's 50 most important blogs and websites in the conservative world. There are no judges. No debates. No voting. No nominations. Just facts. Immutable truths, chiseled in stone and then forged in steel on the Anvil of Zeus for posterity. No prize carries more panache, more prestige, or more raw sex appeal than a Fabulous 50 Award, save something you might find in the dumpster behind Denny's.

QOTD: "This FISA stuff is the kind of thing that’s like a waterfall, only it cascades UP. Who would want to take sole responsibility for “wiretapping” a presidential candidate? Everyone on whose desk that landed would realize he had to talk to the person above him. The process already involves the FBI sending their applications to DoJ, and Bruce Ohr surely wouldn’t sign off on that before talking to Lynch. And Lynch, realizing the potential scandal for Obama, would take it to the White House, and the WH would get it to Obama himself. The probable reality is that before that happened on paper (or digitally) there would have been voice only discussions to make sure nobody took traceable actions without full approval first...

...the fact is that if the GOP hopes to survive politically Republicans would be insane not to go for prosecution on as wide a scale as possible. You can’t allow coup conspirators to skate. In our political environment you hafta be careful–and maybe that’s what’s going on at DoJ–but in this situation they’ve gotta be relentless. If these guys skate and the Dems get back in, I shudder. They won’t stop at anything." --Retired FBI Special Agent via Scott Johnson

SHOCKER: Associated Press and Washington Amazon Post Circle the Wagons Around Dirty Andy McCabe

The hard left progressives who run old media outlets like the AP and WaPo are running scared. Bit by bit, the corpus of the greatest scandal in American history is being exhumed and brought into full view.

As a central figure in the affair, FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe has yet to testify in a public venue about his various conflicts of interest and his untoward actions to protect Hillary Clinton and attack Donald Trump.

The media is currently using two themes to protect McCabe, one more ludicrous than the other, as we shall see.

"Bill Priestap is the FBI Director of Counterintelligence. There’s no way he hasn’t been caught inside the investigative net.

Bill Priestap’s boss, Andrew McCabe has been caught. Bill Priestap’s subordinate, Peter Strzok, has most certainly been caught. And in March 20th 2017 FBI Director Comey pushed Priestap directly in front of the congressional oversight bus.

My hunch is either Bill Priestap is going to be the attempted fall-guy for the entire scheme. -OR- Bill Priestap saw the bus coming and is assisting the swamp-draining DC investigators." --Sundance

A Deep Dive Into "The Timeline of Treason": The McCabe Affair

Over the last few days, I've been adding to the "Timeline of Treason", an exhaustively documented spreadsheet outlining the contours of what may be the greatest political scandal in American history.

In short, it appears that the Obama administration, the Clinton campaign, and the DNC conspired with willing executives in the DOJ and FBI to weaponize government against Donald Trump. This weaponization -- quite similar to how Obama used the IRS, the Bureau of Land Management, the EPA, Health and Human Services, to name but a few -- was designed to target Obama's political opponents. It is the stuff of a third-world country.

But, in all seriousness, Obama always did admire the likes of Castro and Chavez. So why wouldn't he emulate their techniques?

But, I digress. Here are some key observations and questions after review of the timeline related specifically to FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, which should be posed by the FBI Inspector General as well as the House and Senate Intelligence Committees.

MUELLER’S CYNICAL COUP ATTEMPT: An Inept and Conflicted "Investigation" of Non-Existent Collusion

By Matthew Vadum

The unprecedented theft of thousands of likely privileged Trump transition emails by Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller’s investigators is yet more proof that the open-ended fishing expedition is continuing to move forward with its effort to reverse the results of the 2016 election.

News of the misappropriation of the email tranches comes weeks after Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) urged that Mueller quit or be fired, saying the independent prosecutor has “indisputable” conflicts of interest.

“We are at risk of a coup d’état in this country if we allow an unaccountable person with no oversight to undermine the duly-elected president of the United States,” Gaetz said, echoing earlier remarks by writer Michael Walsh who asserts the Left is engaged in a “rolling coup attempt” against President Trump.

QOTD: "To date the investigation into the Fusion GPS-manufactured collusion scandal has focused largely on the firm itself, its allies in the press, as well as contacts in the Department of Justice and FBI. However, if a sitting president used the instruments of state, including the intelligence community, to disseminate and legitimize a piece of paid opposition research in order to first obtain warrants to spy on the other party’s campaign, and then to de-legitimize the results of an election once the other party’s candidate won, we’re looking at a scandal that dwarfs Watergate—a story not about a bad man in the White House, but about the subversion of key security institutions that are charged with protecting core elements of our democratic process while operating largely in the shadows." --Lee Smith

Dispatches From Armageddon

By The Conundrum

Democrats predicted “Armageddon” if tax cuts passed Congress, but the middle class already has several reasons to celebrate.

Earlier today, NBC’s Savannah Guthrie asked Speaker Ryan if he was living in a “fantasy world” for thinking the bill will lead to higher wages and economic growth.

Here are just a few dispatches from said “fantasy world”:

THE CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY OF THE CENTURY: "Makes Watergate look like a third-rate burglary"

By Daniel John Sobieski

As Fox News has reported, Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe has rescheduled his testimony before the House Intelligence Committee with the Justice Department telling the network that it was due to a “routine scheduling error.” More likely it is due to the need for everyone to get their stories straight as the details of the fix that was in for Hillary Clinton are being, er… unmasked and the details of the deep state coup against President Trump bubble to the surface from the depths of the swamp:

…Fox News was told by those familiar with the matter that the intelligence committee is suspicious of the purported scheduling error. One source said they believe the schedule issue arose after Fox News' report Monday night on Department of Justice official Bruce Ohr.

Ohr was recently demoted from one of his two senior posts. Fox News reported that Ohr’s wife, Nellie Ohr, worked through last fall for Fusion GPS, which was behind the anti-Trump dossier…

“McCabe has an Ohr problem,” one congressional source said.

POLITICO: In its Fervor to Secure Iran Deal, Obama Let Hezbollah Smuggle Cocaine Into the U.S.

By Rush Limbaugh

The headline from Politico: “Obama Let Hezbollah Run Cocaine into the U.S. in Order to Facilitate the Iran Deal Getting Done.” I’m gonna tell you, the damage this man and his administration have done to this country is still largely unknown, and it will continue to dribble out, and we will have more revelations of it.

“In 2008, the DEA launched ‘Project Cassandra’ to track Hezbollah’s trafficking of drug and weapons, money laundering and other criminal activities, some of which were happening in the U.S. As Project Cassandra carried on, the Obama administration threw a series of roadblocks in its way, Politico reported Sunday. When investigators sought approval for prosecutions, arrests, and financial sanctions, the Justice Department and Treasury Department officials delayed, hindered, or denied their requests, the report said.

SENATE JUDICIARY CHAIR: McCabe Don’t Need to Go Home, But He Needs to Get the Hell Out o’ the FBI

The prolific Chuck ("No Relation") Ross reports that, at long last, the well-deserved ouster of conflicted FBI chieftan Andrew McCabe may be nigh.

Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley is calling on Andrew McCabe to be replaced as the FBI’s deputy director... “He oughta be replaced,” Grassley said of McCabe. “And I’ve said that before and I’ve said it to people who can do it...”

...The bureau’s second highest-ranking official, McCabe will be interviewed by the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday. He will be asked about his role in the Russia investigation and his knowledge about the infamous Trump dossier, the 35-page document written by former British spy Christopher Steele and funded by the Clinton campaign and DNC...

LEVIN: Trump is the most conservative president since Reagan
