NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO: Why are taxpayers funding nonstop, anti-GOP propaganda?
The show was called "1A", hosted by Joshua Johnson, and I listen to it on a semi-regular basis. Johnson is an intelligent guy, but infected with the conventional Beltway mindset: any policy Republicans are for == bad. Anything Democrats do == good.
I encourage you to listen once in a while to gather intel on Democrat-Media talking points. I also discourage you from contributing to any public broadcasting effort until such time that they offer equal represention of both conservative and liberal viewpoints. And as far as taxpayers funding this one-sided tripe? I say no. We have The New York Times and Daily Kos for this kind of "reporting".
In any event, today's 1A featured another in a long series of Trump-bashing exercises, this time regarding the first of what will prove to be many, many memos on unlawful activities conducted by the Obama administration.
LEVIN: Rest assured that Barack Obama was aware of his administration's KGB-style tactics
On Monday, CRTV host Mark Levin returned from a short break to explain why President Obama must have known about the FISA warrant application process and the “police state tactics” detailed in the Nunes memo.
“Barack Obama had to know, at least generally, what was taking place for multiple reasons. And he’s the one the Democrats are protecting the most,” Levin said. “He’s the one the media are protecting the most.”Larwyn's Linx: The Real FISA Scandal

Comey In Jeopardy
Under oath in June of 2017, Comey testified before Congress that the "dossier" was "salacious and unverified".
Yet Comey signed off on at least one -- and perhaps as many as four -- FISA warrant requests that were based upon the bogus "dossier".
According to Rep. Lee Zeldin, FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe testified "under oath that there would not have been a FISA warrant if not for the dossier. It was recorded."

American Coup
The Democrats and the media spent a week lying to the American people about the “memo.”
The memo was full of "classified information" and releasing” it would expose “our spying methods." By “our,” they didn’t mean American spying methods. They meant Obama’s spying methods.

#MemoDay: 4 Key Findings in the FISA Abuse Memo
• The [DNC- and Clinton campaign-funded] Steele dossier formed an essential part of the initial and all three renewal FISA applications against Carter Page.
• Andrew McCabe confirmed that no FISA warrant would have been sought from the FISA Court without the Steele dossier information.
• The political origins of the Steele dossier were known to senior DOJ and FBI officials, but excluded from the FISA applications.
• DOJ official Bruce Ohr met with Steele beginning in the summer of 2016 and relayed to DOJ information about Steele's bias. Steele told Ohr that he, Steele, was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected president and was passionate about him not becoming president.

Democrats’ #ReleaseTheMemo Hysteria: “If you’re not catching flak, you’re not over the target”
• The pencil-necked recipient of -- reportedly -- a mysterious $7.8 million, Adam Schiff, says that House Intel Chairman Devin Nunes modified the FISA memo. Retreating from the matrix, we find that Nunes corrected a few typos and redacted a statement based upon an FBI request;
• The Wicked Witch of the West (Nancy Pelosi) wrote Paul Ryan demanding that Nunes be removed from his chairmanship;
• An MSNBC analyst asserted that Nunes is a Russian agent;
• Jerrod "Jabba the" Nadler has asked for an emergency meeting with the FBI to somehow stop the release of the memo.
Yes, this is what passes for informed debate on the left side of the aisle. The reality is quite simple.

LAST STAND OF THE CUSTER DOJ/FBI: A final attempt to prevent Americans from seeing #ReleaseTheMemo
Their story has changed from possibly compromising sources and methods -- which is patently absured given what we know about the modern surveillance state -- to the fact that "they haven't had enough time to review it".
...the FBI was provided a limited opportunity to review this memo the day before the committee voted to release it...
...we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy
Given how much we already know about the unlawful actions of the Obama DOJ and FBI, my suggestion is simple. Release the memo and let the leadership in the DOJ and FBI outline any "omissions of fact" that could absolve them of crimes. My guess is that they won't be able to do so.
Devin Nunes, the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, was understandably exercised.

Deep State Agent of Corruption
The confirmation of Rod Rosenstein as Deputy Attorney General by a lopsided 94-6 vote should have set off warning bells. It is odd that a Trump nominee would get so much Democrat support, if any at all. But Rosenstein's role in appointing his pal Robert Mueller to lead a fraudulent "Russian collusion" probe -- as well as his history of looking the other way when Hillary Clinton is involved -- shows the Democrats had high hopes for Rosenstein. These hopes were realized by his actions that have been documented in the four-page House Intelligence Committee memo:

QOTD: "In the past eight weeks a stunning amount of evidence has been accumulating that shows how the Obama Administration weaponized the FBI and DOJ and launched a political campaign spying operation into candidate Donald Trump.
There have been daily revelations showing a considerable collaboration between the White House, Hillary Clinton, the DNC, Fusion-GPS founder Glenn Simpson; his wife Mary Jacoby, DOJ Deputy Bruce Ohr and his wife Fusion GPS employee Nellie Ohr, Russian Dossier author Christopher Steele, FBI agent Peter Strzok and his mistress, FBI lawyer Lisa Page; and the highest levels of officials within the FBI, including Chief Legal Counsel James Baker and FBI Asst. Director Andrew McCabe.
All of the evidence points in one transparently obvious direction; toward a 2016 collaborative effort structured to use a counterintelligence operation to conduct wiretaps and surveillance on the presidential campaign of candidate Donald Trump." --Sundance
Bonus QOTD: "Every other independent-counsel investigation in which an American president has been a subject was triggered by an actual crime. Those presidents were on notice of the contours of the probe, and of the criminality that rendered it appropriate for a prosecutor to be appointed and for a president to be questioned. That is not the case in Mueller’s probe. It has been formally described as a counterintelligence investigation, which is a national-security inquiry about a foreign country’s designs against the United States, not a criminal investigation targeting an American for prosecution on a known offense.
No competent lawyer would allow the lowliest criminal suspect in the country to testify before a grand jury without a description from the prosecutor of precisely what crime is being investigated... It would be absurd for a prosecutor to seek testimony from the president of the United States without a compelling demonstration of (a) probable cause that a crime has been committed, and (b) need for information that only the president is in a position to provide." --Andrew C. McCarthy

GUESSING AT FISA REDACTIONS: Well, this is certainly an interesting coincidence
We know this because the declassified version of a FISA court ruling states, among other things, that the "FBI gave raw Section 702–acquired information to a private entity that was not a federal agency and whose personnel were not sufficiently supervised by a federal agency."Which private entities were unlawfully given raw surveillance information about the Trump camp? We can't yet tell because the key graphs are redacted:

Leader of the Coup
In any criminal investigation where the suspect is not immediately known, the first question usually asked is who would have the most to gain? As we follow the bread crumbs of the text messages of Peter Strzok and Lisa Page and await release of the House Intelligence Committee’s memo regarding the collusion between the DNC, the Hillary Clinton campaign, the DOJ, and FBI to interfere with the 2016, ensure the election of Hillary, and the defeat or impeachment of Donald Trump, the answer to that question is clear -- one Barack Hussein Obama.
Can it be believed that as key players in the Obama administration like Strzok and Page, as well as FBI Director James Comey, Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, the number four at Justice Bruce Ohr, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and many others were linked in a vast criminal conspiracy to keep Hillary Clinton out of prison and Donald Trump out of the White House, that Barack Obama was blissfully unaware of all this? Rather, it can be plausibly argued that he was orchestrating it.
