The publication yesterday by the House Intelligence Committee, under the leadership of chairman Devin Nunes, of a four-page summary memo regarding FBI surveillance of a Trump campaign advisor in 2016 is the long-awaited opening act of an extended drama about the Obama administration’s abuse of power—which, when all is revealed, might yet outdo that of the Nixon administration.
Obama concealed his sharp-edged, Chicago-style machine politics under the rhetorical cover of progressivism. He was protected by a press corps that first enlisted in his administration and then fought to stop Donald Trump. But now that Obama is out of office, his ability to intimidate is much diminished. This past week, a 2005 picture of a beaming Obama next to a bright-eyed Louis Farrakhan surfaced, after having been held back for more than a decade at the behest of a member of the Congressional Black Caucus. Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey, who had been tried for corruption by Obama’s Justice Department after he refused to toe the party line about the “peace-loving” mullahs of Iran, has now seen the charges against him dropped. Z Street, a hawkish nonprofit supporter of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government in Israel, had been tied up with IRS matters since 2009; it has just been released from its legal chains. Democrats are holding to the line that the prophet of hope and change ran a pure administration, virtually free of scandal. But the memo is probably just the beginning; we’re likely to see many more revelations come out.

I understand she told Donna Brazille something like this after one of the debates that went badly for her. Does anyone have the full quote of what she told Donna?
Now that the enemy is on the run we must finish the job, prosecute jail and crush
My prediction: Obama stole the 2012 election from Romney.
” might yet outdo Nixon”
What a joke
Might yet outdo LBJ perhaps
Go back further than that
Maxine Waters is so stupid she bragged about this in 2013
Even Maxine knew but everyone ignored her like a crazy aunt

I bet there are thousands of stories like this. I read John Roberts oversaw the FISA program. I’m starting to think that he wasn't’ blackmailed but a willing participant.
I heard President Trump Administration had hundreds of good people come forward to report crimes during the obama adm. The word should go out that if you were forced to participate, maybe were can work with you.
It is a start, Jim. The dam has developed a leak, and now the erosion can commence.
In each state, like-minded folks have got to start banding together and pushing their GOP state parties toward Trump and away from the Uni-Party.
Here in the second district, we need to get rid of that foul-mouthed liberal Anne Kuster.
The battle at the DC level is starting, but the war is going to be fought and won in the states! The question is, how do we do it?
Probably true, but also, at this time, irrelevant.
“My prediction: Obama stole the 2012 election from Romney.”
Romney cleaned Obama’s clock in the first debate, and hardly even showed up for the other two. It is obvious he was told to stand down, that Obama was to win. The question is, who told Romney to back off, and made it convincing enough that Romney dutifully complied.
Rosenstein presents a peculiar paradox in this investigation. He pens a letter documenting the mismanagement and incompetency of Comey, his supposed friend and mentor, regarding the Clinton email sever investigation,and personally recommends his firing.
Now we discover he was complicit in misleading a FISA court based in a scheme to sway an election for the Democrats.
And Comey just this week makes public statements supporting his integrity. This after Rosenstein’s scathing letter to Trump recommending his long time friend and mentor’s firing.
Is this Rosenstein being confused and/or misled, or is there reason to believe something more complex is in play?
“Did not know the story behind Menendez.”
Neither did I until I googled it. Politico has a piece that the following is taken from:
“Menendez has suggested that Cuban intelligence agents were behind a plot to smear him over his opposition to former President Barack Obama’s call to open up U.S. relations with Cuba. There was another version of this defense argument that suggested Obama administration officials wanted to retaliate against Menendez because he opposed them on Cuba and the Iran nuclear deal. Republican donors, as well as supporters of Israel, were sympathetic to this argument, and Menendez raised millions of dollars for his legal defense fund.”
The MO sounds suspiciously familiar.
She was too drunk to even appear and make a concession speech, she sent "spirit cooking" Podesta out to do it.
Dis the know what was coming?
Rosenstein recommended firing Comey to be able to hire his BFF Mueller who would investigate and conjure up “evidence” to impeach Trump.
Comey was sacrificed for a bigger prize - Trump’s impeachment.
Correction - just realized I was confusing MCcabe for Comey’s mentor/friend. Still curious about Rosenstein’s true motives for signing off on FISA application.
——is there reason to believe something more complex is in play?——
Although introducing reason into the mix might seem unreasonable, reason seems to lead to your conclusion that there is something more complex is in play
There is one certainty. The all out defense from all far left characters right down down to the old and worn out Leon Panetta leads to the conclusion. The current events are an existential threat to the leftists
With the Nunez memo now released, how can Rosenstein now Not recuse himself from the Mueller investigation ?
I think that Nunes will start rolling out the supporting documentation after declassification.
Hillary knew they had committed treason, when will everyone else wake up?
The founders tried to prevent it.
They put the natural born citizen clause in the Constitution.
BOTH parties decided to ignore it.
Obama did not need to steal the election from Romney.
Both McCain and Romney were willing Designated Losers.
Both of those elections were illusory charades.
BOTH parties colluded to make the Kenyanesian Usurpation happen.
