Dear @MaggieNYT, @BrianStelter, @CallumBorchers, @PeterBeinart: Now that the FISA applications prove Mark Levin was correct, will you do the honorable thing?
But let's rewind. I've gotten ahead of myself here.
In March of 2017, Mark Levin ignited a media firestorm by asserting that the Obama administration had wiretapped first candidate, and then President-Elect, Trump. Although he used legacy media's own reports to state his case, Levin was relentlessly assailed by legacy media.
An archetypal example was the loathsome Brian Stelter of the failing CNN network:
8 KEY TAKEAWAYS: A Deep Dive into the Scandalous FISA Warrant Used to Spy on the Trump Campaign
1. The Application Lied About Carter Page
Carter Page is described as "an agent of a foreign power", which was and is clearly not the case. Carter Page is walking around free as a bird, giving interviews to anyone who asks, and stating that the FBI lied about him repeatedly.Larwyn's Linx: A Review of the DOJ/FBI FISA Application Release

BREAKING: Newly declassified FISA application on Carter Page reveals FBI never told the court that its main source -- Steele -- was paid through the Clinton campaign. It merely says he was hired by a "business associate" and a "law firm," which it never ID's as Clinton/DNC lawyer

WOW: Even heavily redacted, the FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign is shocking...
450 pages pertaining to the FBI's FISA Warrant to spy on Carter Page have been released.
Heavily redacted. (int.nyt.com/data/documenth…) Even with redactions, wow.
There is NO DOUBT at this point the fake Steele Dossier was used to get this FISA Warrant.
Months of pimping that Papadopoulos fake narrative down the toilet! Time to remind everybody yet again of what they already know: after TWO YEARS 'agent of a foreign power' Carter Page has been charged with....what was that?
Take a guess.
MARK LEVIN: Only two entities interfered in our election --- Russia and the Obama administration
The liberals, the media, the Democrats, and some Republicans are very upset about Russia. They've had more positions on Russia than Stormy Daniels as far as I'm concerned. Let me point out some history -- this is very, very important.John McCain, God bless him, and others have said that what Trump did at that press conference is the worst interaction we've ever had with Russia, the worst diplomatic disaster ever.

NOT A #WITCHHUNT AT ALL: Mueller Gave Tony Podesta Immunity To Testify Against Manafort
Special counsel Robert Mueller has offered Clinton-connected superlobbyist Tony Podesta immunity in order to testify against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, according to Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
“Tonight we can report exclusively based on two separate sources we spoke to today that Tony Podesta has been offered immunity by Robert Mueller to testify against Paul Manafort,” reported Carlson.
The Daily Caller News Foundation has not independently confirmed the report.
Podesta, whose brother is Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, worked with Manafort’s consulting firm in 2012 on a project to help a Ukrainian non-profit group that supported then-Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych.
Manafort has been indicted on numerous counts of conspiracy and fraud related to the work, which ended two years before the longtime Republican operative joined the Trump campaign.

THE PANTY-WADDERS: When it Comes to the Trump-Putin Summit, the Loudest Shrieks Come From the Guilty
In a press conference with Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump refused to validate the findings of a deeply corrupt and compromised intelligence community that has been working assiduously since before he was even elected to discredit and destroy him, and now the sky is falling.
Barack Obama’s CIA director John Brennan, who calls himself a “nonpartisan American” but who voted for Communist Party candidate Gus Hall for President in 1976, tweeted in all-out hysterical mode: “Donald Trump’s press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of ‘high crimes & misdemeanors.’ It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were Trump’s comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you???”
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) outdid even Brennan in hysteria, tweeting a call for a military coup:

MOVES AND COUNTERMOVES: Motives Behind the Trump-Putin Press Conference
Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you." -- Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), January 3, 2017Over the course of the last week alone, we have learned some interesting things about the leadership of the Department of Justice and the FBI:
The Timing of the Mueller Indictments
Just hours before the Trump-Putin summit, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein released indictments of 12 Russian spies identified by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Only one problem: the indictments were rehashed accusations from the House Intelligence Committee's months-old report. The timing of the indictments raise questions about the DOJ's intentions with respect to the Trump-Putin summit. Further, as Andrew C. McCarthy points out, 26 of the total 32 subjects indicted by Mueller are unlikely to ever see the inside of a U.S. courtroom. Highlighting the partisan nature of the DOJ's actions, the indictments themselves omit attempted hacks of Republican individuals and organizations.Larwyn's Linx: Nearly All Clinton Emails Sent to ‘Foreign Hostile Power,’ FBI Did Nothing

FACT-CHECK: TRUE --- The DNC "Hack" Never Happened
Robert Mueller’s investigation into the 2016 presidential election is predicated on Russian intelligence having hacked the Democratic National Committee’s computers. Russia’s guilt is such an article of faith among our political class, that a Republican-controlled Congress imposed sanctions and President Trump signed on, substantially worsening relations with an important and potentially dangerous nation.
Outside the Acela Corridor, however, one finds more skepticism.
A lot of ordinary folks wonder why the DNC wouldn’t let any outside parties examine their server. Instead, the FBI accepted the word of CrowdStrike, a private contractor hired by the DNC, without any independent confirmation.
And a bunch of not so ordinary folks who know a thing or two about computers thinks there may be a simple explanation for the DNC’s unwillingness to let outsiders have a peek at the evidence: There isn’t any. The Russian hacking that’s caused so much division and turmoil at home and abroad never really happened. It was all a ruse.

QOTD:
Remarkably, we learned new information today suggesting the DOJ had not notified Lisa Page of Congress' outstanding interview requests for over 7 months now. The DOJ/FBI appear to be continuing their efforts to keep material facts, and perhaps even witnesses, from Congress.

QOTD:
Bonus QOTD: #Mueller could have easily added a business or individual in America under a conspiracy charge with the Russians indicted today who might appear & force a trial. Fact he didn't shows he knows his case would never hold up in court. Another "indictment as press release" strategy.

Most disturbing, Mueller never investigated the extent of Strzok's taint on any evidence he brought to Mueller. Didn't even seem curious. Remember:Strzok poured the foundation of Mueller's case & also convinced him to interview Steele & use his Clinton-funded dossier as a roadmap
