Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and US President Barack Obama wave from the stage during an election campaign rally on November 7, 2016 in Philadelphia. About 40,000 people flooded Independence Mall in Philadelphia for Hillary Clinton's rally with her husband Bill, President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle at her side, a campaign aide said. The attendance set a new record for Clinton, with the previous high point a rally in Ohio that drew 18,500 people, a campaign aide told reporters traveling with the candidate. / AFP / KENA BETANCUR (Photo credit should read KENA BETANCUR/AFP/Getty Images)
With the Super Bowl all said and done, the real game is about to begin.
On Friday, President Trump finally approved for release the contents of the memo drafted by staffers of Representative Devin Nunes, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. What the memo revealed was nothing short of damning.
We learned that the FBI and the Department of Justice used the infamous ‘Trump dossier’ compiled by ex-British spy Christopher Steele to obtain a warrant from the secretive FISA court in order to monitor a Trump campaign staffer. The FBI knew that the dossier was untrustworthy, and they knew that the Clinton campaign had paid for it.
This raises questions as to the impartiality of the FBI when conducting surveillance on the campaign of a private individual running for president. We also learned from Rep. Trey Gowdy over the weekend that the FISA warrant would have never been granted had it not been for the Steele dossier.
Now, we know that Steele had a hand in a second dossier, one which was also intimately linked with the Clinton campaign. But it gets worse:
Byron York of the Washington Examiner just broke the news:
A newly released document from the Senate Judiciary Committee says Christopher Steele, the former British spy who compiled the Trump dossier, wrote an additional memo on the subject of Donald Trump and Russia that was not among those published by BuzzFeed in January 2017.
The newly-released document is an unclassified and heavily redacted version of the criminal referral targeting Steele filed on Jan. 4 by Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley, of Iowa, and Lindsey Graham, of South Carolina. It appears to confirm some level of coordination between the extended Clinton circle and the Obama administration in the effort to seek damaging information about then-candidate Trump.
Here is the kicker from the report:
According to the referral, Steele wrote the additional memo based on anti-Trump information that originated with a foreign source. In a convoluted scheme outlined in the referral, the foreign source gave the information to an unnamed associate of Hillary and Bill Clinton, who then gave the information to an unnamed official in the Obama State Department, who then gave the information to Steele. Steele wrote a report based on the information, but the redacted version of the referral does not say what Steele did with the report after that.
Published accounts in the Guardian and the Washington Post have indicated that Clinton associate Cody Shearer was in contact with Steele about anti-Trump research, and Obama State Department official Jonathan Winer was a connection between Steele and the State Department during the 2016 campaign.
Yikes! More chicanery from the Clinton campaign and the Obama Administration to tank the Trump campaign!
We need a full-blown investigation into this entire matter. We need a special counsel assigned to investigate just how deep the ties were between the Obama White House, the Clinton campaign, Michael Steele, and the lobbying firm Fusion GPS.

people are waking up to the chicago style communist mafia government we have had during the obama years
Did anyone bother to tell you that in an interview that aired on CBS's "Face the Nation," South Carolina Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy said the GOP memo alleging FBI abuses of its surveillance authority does not have "any impact on the Russia probe," and "There is a Russia investigation without a dossier".
WE NEED TO KICK SOME ASS IN THE DUMOCRAT CAMP! They cannot be trusted to tell the truth or to conduct themselves without corruption. I fervently hope that this November they get their just rewards in the form of a real drubbing!
It is all LIES what the democrats, media, and fbi have done. There was absolutely no collusion between our President and Russia. The Russians are laughing at the democrats right now. And do you really think the Russian care what the democrats have lie about them?
Why did so people in Trumps admin. lie on their SF-86 about Russia which states clearly that the penalty is 5 years in jail for lying on this form? Sessions lied on his and to Congress and had to recuse himself from the Russia investigation. Funny that his job is to literally prosecute people who lie on this form. Both of Trumps said they do a lot of business with Russia.
Business with Trump Enterprises is perfectly legal and acceptable in today's world. But calling this collusion with the Russians in undermining the DNC and Clinton campaign is a totally unexceptionable comparison, and this is what the liberals is trying to do. I say "Show proof of political collusion now, or shut your face, and finally agree to work to improve the United States. Do something good for a change.
Douglas, this is not an attack on you. But is meant to be an addition to your comment. LB
And as usual, an investigation would be dragged on & on, & on, & on, and ultimately nothing would be done about it AGAIN.The Clintons continue to get away with everything.
How about if we patriots pick out a big tree in our neighborhood. I think I can get a good
deal on some rope, and I'll provide a milk crate or folding chair for ALL of this swamp scum to
stand on...
Many hands make tasks easier.
I guess you hate our Constitution. You are NOT a patriot.
The Fifth Amendment says,
"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, … nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law"
Well apparently we can't read the entire document because there was alot of it blacked out.
I WONDER WHAT THE JUDGES ARE THINKING NOW SINCE THIS ALL COME OUT. ANYONE CONNECTED, JUDGES, ATTORNEYS, REGUALR PEOPLE SHOULD GO TO JAIL, THIS IS NOTHING BUT BEING A TRAITOR AND SHOULD BE PROSCUTED.
Judges, like the Clintons, OWEbama, Holder, Emmanuel, Rice, Lynch, Sebellius, Clapper, Franken, Sharp, Jeh Johnson, McCabe, Strzok, Comey, Rosenstein, Reid, Charlie Rangle, Waters, Kerry, McCain, Romney, etc, all think they're above the law.
THEIR IS NO COURT IN THE UNITED STATES THAT WOULD ACCEPT THAT CASE BECAUSE IT'S ALL MADE UP, THE WHOLE THING IS A SCAM BY THE DEMOCRAT'S FOR THE SOLE REASON TO TRY TO GET PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP . TRUMP IS TO SMART TO FALL FOR WHOLE THING. WHAT A GREAT PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Imagine that the situation was reversed.
Imagine that Bush and McCain/Palin campaign had used RNC money to pay for a dossier on Obama that, say, purported to connect members of the Obama campaign to Muslim government (with intimated connections to terrorist networks). And Bush administration had gone to FISA courts for permission to surveil members of the Obama campaign with these ginned-up reports.
It would not have mattered if it later turned out Obama himself was chumming around with bin Laden, the whole administration and Republican campaigns would be done for and forever tainted. The media would never let it go. It would be worse than Watergate.
But today, DNC and Obama/Clinton antics? Meh.
