TICKETY TOCK: Firm Behind Dirty Dossier Linked Directly to Senior Obama Adviser

By Chuck Ross

Republicans on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence are seeking information about the Steele dossier from a former Obama administration official who is married to an employee of Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm that commissioned the dossier.

The committee, chaired by GOP Rep. Devin Nunes of California, issued questionnaires Friday to around a dozen former President Barack Obama’s administration officials.

The Daily Caller News Foundation is told that one of the letters was sent to Shailagh Murray, a former journalist who served as senior adviser to Obama and as former Vice President Joe Biden’s deputy chief of staff.

Murray’s husband is Neil King, a former Wall Street Journal reporter who worked at the newspaper at the same time as Fusion GPS’s three co-founders, Glenn Simpson, Peter Fritsch, and Tom Catan. Murray also worked at The Journal until 2005. She joined the Obama administration in 2011.

JUSTICE FOR BRIAN TERRY? Eric Holder In Hiding as DOJ to Release "Fast and Furious" Documents

By Daniel John Sobieski

Have they no shame?  Just days before it was announced that documents regarding the Fast and Furious gunrunning scandal were to be released after being hidden for six years under executive  privilege, there was former Obama attorney general Eric Holder responding to a question on Bill Maher's show:

The former attorney general drew applause from the studio audience when he quipped: "The difference between me and Jeff Sessions is, I had a president I did not have to protect."

Holder had used nearly the same line in an interview with The Washington Post last month.  Maher didn't challenge him to defend it, but some critics have accused Holder of protecting Obama for years.

In 2012, Holder became the first sitting attorney general to be held in contempt of Congress – in a 255-to-67 vote – for refusing to turn over documents related to a botched gun-running investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Holder did have a president to protect, as well as himself, partners in a criminal scheme to run guns into Mexico and into the hands of Mexican drug lords, guns that led to the deaths of border agents Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata.  He was protecting a president who recently made his own self-serving and false claim:

ANOTHER CANARD SQUASHED: Parkland Mass-Murderer Did Not Use Any High-Capacity Magazines

By Dean Weingarten

It seems the mass murderer in Florida did not use magazines of a capacity over 10 rounds. This presents a minor difficulty for those who want to ban magazines over 10 rounds.

From miamiherald.com:

The “weapon and bullets were not high quality and were breaking apart,” one of the legislators, state Sen. Lauren Book, D-Plantation, told the Herald.

Cruz went in with only 10-round magazines because larger clips would not fit in his duffel bag, Book said.

Given the general ignorance of reporters on firearms technology, and of Democrats in general, I would not rely on this information until we have corroboration. Democrat Representative Lauren Book seems to have experience with child abuse and anorexia (she has written two books).

EPIC FAIL BY THE NEW YORKER: 6 Unintended Revelations From the Christopher Steele Puff Piece

By Chuck Ross
  • A New Yorker profile of dossier author Christopher Steele provided several new revelations
  • MSNBC host Rachel Maddow touted it as a “staggering piece of reporting”
  • Trump has denied the dossier claim, calling it “disgusting”

A new profile of dossier author Christopher Steele provided several new revelations about the creation of the salacious and unverified dossier.

The piece, from New Yorker reporter Jane Mayer, was widely hailed by mainstream and left-leaning journalists. MSNBC host Rachel Maddow touted it as a “staggering piece of reporting,” citing it as the biggest bombshell in the revelation that Steele wrote a memo alleging the Kremlin intervened to block President Donald Trump from selecting Mitt Romney as his secretary of state.

The piece does reveal numerous previously unknown facts about Steele and the dossier. Not all of the facts are favorable to the former MI6 officer and his infamous report:

BUMMER: Today Is the Last Day For DACA

By William Teach

What a shame. Can we deport them all now?

Six months ago, when he announced he was ending the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, President Donald Trump picked March 5 as the deadline for Congress to work out a solution to prevent DACA recipients from facing deportation.

But the president’s plans were thwarted by multiple court challenges, rendering Monday’s deadline all but meaningless. Now, as Congress and the Dreamers await a resolution in the courts, lawmakers have paused their legislative efforts and some 700,000 DACA recipients have been plunged into a constant state of uncertainty.

TRUMP SPARES NO ONE: 10 Best Lines from the Gridiron Dinner

While there was -- seemingly -- no video or audio recordings from the annual dinner celebrating the White House and the media, Samantha Chang and others on Twitter relayed some of the best lines. Here are my top 10:

10. Trump apologized for being late, noting that it was because his son-in-law “Jared couldn’t get through security."
9. On North Korea: “I won’t rule out direct talks with Kim Jong Un, I just won’t. As far as the risk of dealing with a madman is concerned, that’s his problem not mine.”
8. On ego: “Nobody does self-deprecating humor better than I do. It’s not even close!”
7. “I was very excited to receive this invitation and ruin your evening in person. That’s why I accepted.”

SURFACING LIKE U-571: Obama’s Secret Involvement in the Clinton Foundation Scandals

By Charles Ortel

Last week, former President Barack Obama claimed his eight years in the Oval Office were "scandal-free". The remarks seemed, charitably, one part Clintonian (depends what "scandal" and "free" mean) and another part delusional (Editor: See the complete list of Mr. Obama's "historic firsts").

Today, the strategy of getting captured corporate media to repeat unvetted wishful thinking falls flat because Americans like the quick work President Donald Trump has made of reigniting growth in after-tax paychecks. More of us question Obama's success fables spun during eight long years, too. We want and deserve answers to tough questions.

#FISAGATE: Obama FBI Officials May Face Charges of Conspiracy, Obstruction of Justice and Contempt of Court

Ruh roh.

The FBI may have violated criminal statutes, as well as its own strict internal procedures, by using unverified information during the 2016 election to obtain a surveillance warrant on onetime Trump campaign aide Carter Page, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee charged Thursday in a letter obtained by Fox News...

...Nunes cited the Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide (DIOG), which was created by the bureau and approved by the Justice Department, to say he believed the FBI violated procedures requiring verified and documented evidence in applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court...

...An Oct. 2011 version of the operations guide states that the “accuracy of information contained within FISA applications is of utmost importance... Only documented and verified information may be used to support FBI applications to the court.”

The guidance also states that information in a FISA application must be “thoroughly vetted and confirmed.”

According to the report, DOJ and FBI officials who abused the FISA process could be subject to charges of conspiracy, obstruction of justice and contempt of court.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of treasonous thugs.
