LEVIN: New Reports Only Strengthen My Argument That Obama Must Answer Some Very Hard Questions

By Chris Pandolfo

The media is finally catching up to Mark Levin on the Obama administration surveillance abuse scandal.

Now, a growing body of documentation from congressional investigations into the FBI’s politicized conduct during the 2016 election confirms that Levin, a former chief of staff to Attorney General Edwin Meese, was right about the Obama administration spying on Trump world; he was right about the FBI using the “35 pages of crap” Russian dossier to seek a FISA warrant; and he was right about President Barack Obama keeping tabs on the FBI’s investigations.

Fox News reported Wednesday that President Obama was briefed on the status of the Hillary Clinton email investigation some time in September 2016. A text message sent by FBI official Lisa Page to her colleague Peter Strzok on Sept. 6 said that “potus wants to know everything we’re doing.”

LEVIN: If Special Counsel Mueller is a "Straight Shooter", Kim Kardashian Poised to be the Next Pope

By Jordan Schachtel

CRTV host Mark Levin started his radio show Tuesday reminding the audience that a “phony” Trump-Russia dossier was used to get a judge on the FISA court to approve surveillance of American citizens.

“We’ve talked a lot about the senior level of the FBI under Jim Comey, how corrupt it has been with the leaks, with the dossier. We’ve talked about how … Hillary Clinton, the Democrat National Committee, essentially paid for this FISA warrant, even though they used straw men,” Levin explained.

As if you need further proof that leaky Adam Schiff is about as much a legitimate legislator as Chloe Kardashian.

NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO: Why are taxpayers funding nonstop, anti-GOP propaganda?

So I was listening to NPR while driving today (keep your friends close and your enemies closer).

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

By Chris Pandolfo

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.”

Comey In Jeopardy

If I were James Comey's lawyer, I'd tell him to lay off the whiskey while tweeting. Comey appears to be in serious legal jeopardy for his dueling statements about the DNC-funded "dossier" that was used to justify spying on Trumpworld.

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

By Daniel Greenfield

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

Byron York lists four key elements of 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.

Read the full timeline of treason.

Stand-up State of the Union

By Stilton Jarlsberg

Democrats’ #ReleaseTheMemo Hysteria: “If you’re not catching flak, you’re not over the target”

The hysterical bleatings of Democrats who are in the final stages of dealing with a political earthquake are entertaining, to be sure. Among the assertions:

• 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

The FBI issued a statement earlier today stating -- wait for it -- they don't want the American people to view evidence of criminality by leaders in their agency and the DOJ.

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.
