Corrupt Government Title: The Memo is Released House Intelligence Committee Report On FISA Abuses by The Federalist on Scribd Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Comments (1-19) not displayed.
The release is a necessary part of 'draining the swamp', so to speak... AB-SO-LUTELY. Not that it will ever be really drained, -- but we can hope for more of this type of action.. ... --- In fact, just the declassification aspect of this is great.. -- When's the last time we've seen this bullshit about 'Top Secret' exposed? EXACTLY. I don't understand how this unredacted release can possible be met with yawns. This makes Watergate look like an elementary school prank.
#21. To: Fred Mertz (#11) Do I have to draw pictures? Yes. And use the best crayons you have.
#22. To: Liberator (#18) There ARE people in this nation RIGHT NOW who do indeed need to be monitored and surveilled; I wish it weren't the case, but increasing technological advances, cleaver Muzzies and Antifa elements -- as well as "The Memo" -- all prove why it is now a necessary evil. I have no problem with NSA spying on the bad guys - but that simply isn't the case here. With the Shutdown Over, The Government Can Go Back to Suppressing Your Rights In a bipartisan manner, Congress recently passed the FISA Reauthorization Act of 2017. On January 19th, President Trump signed this bill into law. That bill extended the controversial Section 702 program that allows the NSA to conduct warrantless surveillance of non-U.S. citizens or residents. This program clearly benefits our intelligence agencies in matters of national security. However, millions of Americans’ private information is also collected in this program. The private information of anyone in the U.S. who communicates with someone outside of the country could potentially be stored in this massive database. How expansive is this program? The Washington Post reviewed a sample of communications from the Edward Snowden leaks and found that 9 out of 10 people in the database were not surveillance targets. Nearly half of these people were American citizens or residents and their private information was swept up in this net. This isn’t just a matter of preserving privacy. Once information enters this program, all conventional constitutional law goes to the wayside. The FBI has access to this program to do “backdoor searches” for any crime without a warrant. That information can be passed along to whichever law enforcement agencies the FBI deems necessary. Furthermore, this isn’t a minor program that applies to a few people. There were an estimated 106,469 targets in 2016. “Truth is treason in the empire of lies.” - Ron Paul![]() Those who most loudly denounce Fake News are typically those most aggressively disseminating it.#23. To: Pinguinite, Deckard (#16) Next lesson is how power corrupts and it's not simply a matter of replacing corrupt people with "good" people, that the law itself needs to go. Power in the extreme has always corrupted. hence the Founders "Three Equal Branched" that were supposed to check and balance each other. THAT must be re-calibrated. ANY law -- even so-called "good" or necessary" laws can and are abused. "Good people," ethical, moral people are far less less apt to abuse their position of authority. I think that's the best we can hope for from human beings. The problems occur when Progressively political people abuse their power and position to justify what is a fascist ideology. For them (and Communists), they are at war, and "The end justifies the means." The 0bamas and Clintons have both done the same thing and abused their power during their respective regimes, demonstrating NO respect for the law, the Constitution OR their opposition.
#24. To: Liberator (#20) When's the last time we've seen this bullshit about 'Top Secret' exposed? Already I've seen a talking head on msnbc complain about how the memo violated security.. -- Then the rest of the panel sagely nodded their heads at the idiocy.
#25. To: Liberator (#20) This makes Watergate look like an elementary school prank. You opinion....do you think any criminal indictments will come from this?
#26. To: Liberator (#23) The 0bamas and Clintons have both done the same thing and abused their power during their respective regimes, demonstrating NO respect for the law, the Constitution OR their opposition. You left off Dubya and Poppy Bush. “Truth is treason in the empire of lies.” - Ron Paul![]() Those who most loudly denounce Fake News are typically those most aggressively disseminating it.#27. To: Deckard (#22) That bill extended the controversial Section 702 program that allows the NSA to conduct warrantless surveillance of non-U.S. citizens or residents. This program clearly benefits our intelligence agencies in matters of national security. However, millions of Americans’ private information is also collected in this program. Believe me -- I feel you. ...A sample of communications from the Edward Snowden leaks and found that 9 out of 10 people in the database were not surveillance targets. Nearly half of these people were American citizens or residents and their private information was swept up in this net. I was calling Snowden a hero and criticized for it. Yes, I am acutely aware of the waste of resources, gross abuse of privacy and the 4A, and unnecessary surveillance. After 8 years of an Enemy of the State and his minions sabotaging the US and setting up coups and "Resistance," AND infesting every branch, twig and leaf of gubmint, one can make the legit argument that this law is NOW needed more than ever. Unfortunately. What do you feel should be a solution or even compromise given the last eight years and revelation of such abuse of power and corruption by the 0bamas and Clintons and their minions?
#28. To: Deckard (#26) You left off Dubya and Poppy Bush. Yes, but to a far less degree. The 0bamas and Clintons wanted to turn America and the Constitution on its head. (True or not true?)
#29. To: Liberator., Y'ALL (#23) The problems occur when Progressively political people abuse their power and position to justify what is a fascist ideology. For them (and Communists), they are at war, and "The end justifies the means." The problems occur when our educational system is geared up to brainwashing children into becoming "Progressively political people".. We are reaping the harvest of that school system NOW. It may be too late...
#30. To: tpaine (#24) Already I've seen a talking head on msnbc complain about how the memo violated security.. -- Then the rest of the panel sagely nodded their heads at the idiocy. Aaah...Thanks for noting their reaction and sharing it. The MSNBC panel preferred to dwell on procedure instead of addressing the meat of the matter that indicts them as shameless lying tools who promoted nothing but bullsh*t 24/7/365? Figures. They are patently dishonest and propagandist right down to their pathetic bone. Even when busted with their hand in the cookie jar. Just like most Progs.
#31. To: Liberator (#28) The 0bamas and Clintons wanted to turn America and the Constitution on its head. I have no doubt about that, however Obabma wouldn't have had near the presidential power that he had if the precedent for issuing executive orders had not been set by Bush. Clinton was corrupt (and still is) on a completely different level. “Truth is treason in the empire of lies.” - Ron Paul![]() Those who most loudly denounce Fake News are typically those most aggressively disseminating it.#32. To: tpaine (#29) The problems occur when our educational system is geared up to brainwashing children into becoming "Progressively political people".. +100. The die may well be cast. Irrevocably. As long as the NEA leaders remain hardcore Progs, public schools will continue indoctrinating instead of teaching. We ARE screwed.
#33. To: Liberator (#7) This will not be the only memo released. The Dems will have theirs too. Monica Crowley is reporting there will be several more such memos, not just the Dem memo. Ron Johnson in the Senate (Homeland Security chair) has requested the text messages of 16 more FBI employees, including McCabe and Comey. So it's a safe bet you're making.
#34. To: tpaine (#24) Already I've seen a talking head on msnbc complain about how the memo violated security.. -- Then the rest of the panel sagely nodded their heads at the idiocy. But they all cheered that traitor Manning and publishing vast reams of secret material by Wikileaks. Partisan hacks.
#35. To: Deckard (#31) I have no doubt about that, however Obabma wouldn't have had near the presidential power that he had if the precedent for issuing executive orders had not been set by Bush. Concur 100%. But 0bama cranked up the mechanism by a factor of a 1000%+. Which should have destroyed this nation after 8 years. ALMOST did as we've witnessed by the attempted coup. Bush and his minions also helped SET UP an 0bama who they KNEW was a radical subversive, KNEW well what his agenda would be, and refused to reveal his identity and vet him to the American people. Ye it is still 0BAMA and his minions who openly declared war on half of America, did he not? Clinton was corrupt (and still is) on a completely different level. Well, we're now talking TWO Clintons. It's like discussing the difference between diarrhea and vomit. From was I observed, both Clintons and 0bama were virulent haters of conservatives and abusive of the USCON. But NO ONE hated/hates America and Conservatives more than the 0bamas. NO ONE.
#36. To: Deckard (#22) I have no problem with NSA spying on the bad guys - but that simply isn't the case here. What evidence do you have that "all conventional constitutional law goes to the wayside" once a person is in the program? Surely, any citizen would still retain their individual constitutional rights?
#37. To: Tooconservative (#33) The Dems will have theirs too. In a "war" of memos, Trump will have the Last Word. Count on it. Now comes Trump's full vindication. He demonstrated an amazing discipline, don't you think? It's a safe bet you're making. Just a logical presumption. Trump holds ALL the cards. And thankfully it's him in the WH. Any professional Republican politician would have never released these memos...or even survived politically nearly to this point to do so. Trump remains a political miracle.
#38. To: Liberator (#37) In a "war" of memos, Trump will have the Last Word. Count on it. Now comes Trump's full vindication. He demonstrated an amazing discipline, don't you think? The Dems won't give up that easily. Trump has to find someone who wants to fire Mueller. I think the release of this memo may be a way for Trump to argue why he isn't going to sit down to answer questions with Mueller. All Mueller has to do is catch Trump in just one lie or failing to recall something and he gets him for lying. It doesn't even have to be related to Mueller's area of inquiry. Look at what they're doing to Manafort on unrelated charges. Manafort is a sleazy character (a lieutenant of Roger Stone and Lee Atwater, both dirty trickster pros) but they should have just gone after all the shady lobbyists, including the Podesta Group. That would be a great way to clean out the Swamp. I don't know why Sessions isn't on the warpath with those scumbags. Start with the Soros puppets.
#39. To: Tooconservative (#34) But they [MSNBC] all cheered that traitor Manning and publishing vast reams of secret material by Wikileaks. Lost in the sauce, isn't it? Manning commits treason and is rewarded by 0bama's minions. Just like Bergdahl (I'd like to see THOSE "memos.") Now he/it is even given a voice while he/it runs for office. MSNBC's panels are the worst and most shamelessly hypocritical and subversive...as well as anti-America, anti-White, anti-men, etc.
#40. To: Liberator (#35) Bush and his minions also helped SET UP an 0bama who they KNEW was a radical subversive, KNEW well what his agenda would be, and refused to reveal his identity and vet him to the American people. In my opinion, McCain threw the election to Obaama by not going after him more forcefully and instead backing off. If he had followed through and backed up Palin's aggressiveness on the campaign trail, things might have turned out differently. The NWO controllers wanted Obama for just those reasons that you mentioned. I will agree that Trump has apparently, at least for the time being thrown a monkey wrench into their well-oiled machine. “Truth is treason in the empire of lies.” - Ron Paul![]() Those who most loudly denounce Fake News are typically those most aggressively disseminating it.#41. To: Tooconservative (#38) (Edited) The Dems won't give up that easily. Nope, they never do.Precisely because they are tone deaf personally, philosophically and politically. Their masochism reminds me of a collective Rachel Corrie. If they continue to challenge the increasingly muscular Trump, he will flatten them one by one. Trump has to find someone who wants to fire Mueller. I think the release of this memo may be a way for Trump to argue why he isn't going to sit down to answer questions with Mueller. Yup, I agree. Moreover, I believe Mueller continues at his own peril. He undoubtedly sees the writing on the wall. IMO he will find a reason to end the charade against Trump. As a matter of self-preservation. All Mueller has to do is catch Trump in just one lie or failing to recall something and he gets him for lying... Not ever getting to that juncture. Mueller is cornered. Checkmated.
#42. To: Deckard (#40) In my opinion, McCain threw the election to Obaama by not going after him more forcefully and instead backing off. Without a doubt, brutha... We both recall how late McCain had already led in the polls. Then he used the TARP issue to suspend his campaign (aka self-sabotage it.) McCain is filthy as well. The NWO controllers wanted Obama for just those reasons that you mentioned. I will agree that Trump has apparently, at least for the time being thrown a monkey wrench into their well-oiled machine. We're on the same page.
#43. To: All (#36) Btw, the gal reading the news at msnbc, just concluded her hour by quoting a Democrat as saying the memo 'doesn't amount to a fart in the wind'..
--- She then signed off by saying 'so ends my show of Breaking Wind'.... -- At least that's what I thought I heard...
#44. To: tpaine (#43) Btw, the gal reading the news at msnbc, just concluded her hour by quoting a Democrat as saying the memo 'doesn't amount to a fart in the wind'.. HA!! So MSNBC-ish. That channel is a buffoonish parody of itself.
#45. To: Tooconservative (#38) Trump has to find someone who wants to fire Mueller. Why fire Mueller? -- Do you think he has anything solid? Simply insist that Trump will answer ALL written questions with written answers..
#46. To: Fred Mertz (#8) The king lion Has To kill off The puppy muTTs Love If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys ! #47. To: tpaine (#24) Already I've seen a talking head on msnbc complain about how the memo violated security. That's another thing. Releasing this memo does not endanger US security in ANY WAY. There are no secrets that are compromised that enemies of the US could use to their advantage. The only security it compromises is that of the named individuals.
#48. To: Pinguinite (#47) tpaine (#24) ---- Already I've seen a talking head on msnbc complain about how the memo violated security. It's amazing that these clowns think that such obvious lies/agitprop will be believed. But as Gobbels said, repeat, repeat, repeat..
#49. To: BorisY (#46) Bee Eye En Gee Oh! And BINGO was his Nameoh!
#50. To: Pinguinite (#0) Quick, look over there
#51. To: BorisY (#46) The king lion I think you meant lyin' king, banjo boy.

The hyhena dog clan Love If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys ! #53. To: Deckard, y'all (#22) This isn’t just a matter of preserving privacy. Once information enters this program, all conventional constitutional law goes to the wayside.
What evidence do you have that "all conventional constitutional law goes to the wayside" once a person is in the program? Surely, any citizen would still retain their individual constitutional rights? Second request...

![]() #55. To: Deckard (#22) I have no problem with NSA spying on the bad guys - but that simply isn't the case here. Thank God for your permission. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح #56. To: hondo68 (#54) Boris finally gets put down. Ha ha. That is funny, dondolt.
#57. To: Liberator (#5) Andrew McCabe confirmed that no FISA warrant would have been sought from the FISA Court without the FAKE Steele dossier information. There should be several individuals who should be in leg irons now and being frog marched in front of cameras. Question is why hasn't this happened yet?
#58. To: Tooconservative (#38) (Edited) ...They should have just gone after all the shady lobbyists, including the Podesta Group. That would be a great way to clean out the Swamp. I don't know why Sessions isn't on the warpath with those scumbags. Start with the Soros puppets. Sorry I overlooked this great point of yours...BULLSEYE. No Swamp is truly disinfected without crushing: 1) Soros (ESPECIALLY, along with his splinter "news" groups) 2) The Podesta Group (Pedophiles) 3) 0bama/Jarret Machination 4) Certain Media Mafioso 5) Certain domestic NWO-Globalist Capos (i.e. The Bush/McStain Wing of the GOPe who collude with the Dem-Commie Wing) And while Santa's coming to town, how about having him investigate the ACLU and especially SPLC (for being ANY arbitor of "HATE"?) EDIT: Jeff Sessions' has been suspect ever since he quickly recused himself and hung Trump out to dry hours within becoming AG.
#59. To: redleghunter (#57) There should be several individuals who should be in leg irons now and being frog marched in front of cameras. I think we're all been asking ourselves that very same question... My speculation: The Swamp Machine was so filthy, and still is so filthy, that every step of this disinfection process must be done with the utmost care. Trump and his people were compelled to first close off all escape routes for the Rats, assemble all the pieces of their case(s) -- while also assuring and gaining trusted allies within. This was not and still is not a cakewalk. This is a monumental, unprecedented dragnet.
