HANNITY: The Senate releases 'Memo 2.0,' and it should scare you
Via Billy
Grassley and Graham tell us that, while working on a
second dossier for Clinton opposition research firm Fusion GPS, Steele
was being fed information directly from the Obama State Department and
from Clinton allies as well as his usual, sketchy Russian sources.
That’s right, teams Clinton and Obama were working with a foreign spy to
undermine then-candidate Donald Trump.
Hot on the heels of the House memo exposing deep
state corruption comes an equally explosive document from the Senate
that shows the story behind the phony dossier is even worse than you
thought.
Senators Chuck Grassley and Lindsey
Graham have released a heavily redacted, yet very revealing copy of
their criminal referral against ex-British spy Christopher Steele, the
author of the dubious dossier we now know was parlayed into a FISA
warrant by Trump-hating operatives at the Justice Department.

Trey Gowdy: Democrats may have intentionally included info in their FISA memo that requires redactions
Via Billy
Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., said Tuesday that Democrats may have purposely included classified or sensitive information in their memo countering the one drafted by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., and his staff.
"I think the Democrats are politically smart enough to put things in the memo that require either the [FBI] or the Department of Justice to say it needs to be redacted. Therefore, it creates this belief that there's something being hidden from the American people," Gowdy, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, told Fox News.
"Unfortunately, we are in an environment where you would include material that you know has to be redacted and you know responsible people are going to redact just so that questions will be asked," Gowdy continued.

THE BLM'S BUNDY BLUNDER-PATRIOTS VS. FASCISTS
Via Billy
Cliven Bundy’s ancestors on his mother’s side came, as pioneers, to the Gold Butte area of the southern Nevada desert in 1877 and began ranching from scratch. In doing this they established grazing rights and water rights—preemptive legal rights under Nevada law which gave them permanent rights to graze cattle on that land. Those legal rights were passed down through the years to Cliven Bundy and his family. In 1934, the Taylor Grazing Act was passed by Congress, an act designed to assist ranchers, especially in the arid American West, to raise cattle for the benefit Americans—by putting delicious and nutritious beef on their tables. The Bundy ranch is located about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas, near the town of Bunkerville.

Jim Mattis: Low-yield nukes mean US won't have to choose between 'surrender' and 'suicide'
Via Billy
It’s a key question in the debate over the Trump administration’s Nuclear Posture Review:
Does adding a couple of low-yield weapons to each of America’s ballistic missile submarines make the U.S. safer, or move the U.S. closer to nuclear war?
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis believes a low-yield option that doesn’t rely on an airplane having to penetrate enemy air defenses increases deterrence, and therefore lowers the risk of miscalculation, especially by the Russians.
It’s a perfectly logical argument, but it’s one that arms reduction advocates and skeptical members of Congress have a hard time accepting.

John Kelly: Some DACA-eligible immigrants were 'too lazy to get off their ass'
Via Billy
White House Chief of Staff John Kelly said Tuesday that many people eligible who were eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program may have chosen not to sign up because they are "too lazy to get off their ass."
Kelly made the remark on Capitol Hill days ahead of Congress' first government funding deadline since last month's partial government shutdown, which centered on extending the program.
President Trump said he will support making the program permanent only if lawmakers agree to border wall funding and restrictions on legal immigration.
Kelly, speaking to reporters, addressed why Trump would support a pathway to citizenship for 1.8 million people, rather than the smaller subset currently protected by DACA.

IG poised to reignite war over FBI’s Clinton case
Few people have heard of Michael Horowitz, but that’s about to change.
Horowitz, the Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector general, is an increasingly critical player in the controversy surrounding the FBI, President Trump and the Russia investigation.
With little fanfare, he has been conducting a sprawling probe of the FBI’s handling of the 2016 investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server. His full report, which could set off shockwaves, is expected by the early spring.

MARK LEVIN: Obama Likely Knew Hillary Clinton PAID FOR FISA Warrant To Surveil Trump Campaign
Via Billy
LEVIN: “Now we know why Schiff and the rest of them are fighting so hard. Now we know why the left-wing pretorian guard Democrat media are fighting so hard — trashing Nunes, me, you, and others. Who are they trying to protect? Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, his name never comes up. Let me help everybody with this. Loretta Lynch knew about these FISA warrants, Yates, the Deputy Attorney General, the extensions, Rod Rosenstein – now the Deputy Attorney General — he knew. FBI Director Comey, Deputy Director McCabe, Strzok, the head of counterintelligence, Page his girlfriend. Who else would have known about these FISA applications and warrants? We are looking at the FBI, We are looking at the Department of Justice, and we’re not looking at all, at all, at the White House.”

Buchanan: "How can Rosenstein oversee Mueller’s investigation into the firing of James Comey when he was a witness to and a participant in the firing of James Comey?"
That memo worked up in the Intel Committee of Chairman Devin Nunes may not have sunk the Mueller investigation, but from the sound of the secondary explosions, this torpedo was no dud.
The critical charge:
To persuade a FISA court to issue a warrant to spy on Trump aide Carter Page, the FBI relied on a dossier produced by a Trump-hating British spy, who was using old Kremlin contacts, while being paid to dig up dirt on Donald Trump by Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
Not only were the Clinton campaign and DNC paying the spy, Christopher Steele, for his dirt-diving, the FBI put Steele on its own payroll, until they caught him lying about leaking to the media.

Priebus: FBI Dep. Director Called NYT Russia Investigation Story “Total BS”
Via Billy
In a Sunday appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus said that FBI officials had told him as early as February of 2017 that a New York Times story about contacts between the Trump campaign and the Russians was “total BS.”
That report, which was formally debunked under oath by former FBI Director James Comey last summer, had claimed that “(p)hone records and intercepted calls show that members of Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and other Trump associates had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election, according to four current and former American officials.”

Two DACA Recipients Arrested For Human Trafficking Operation in Texas
Via Bill
President Trump has been in a tug of war with Democrats and amnesty-supporting Republicans over the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program for the past few weeks. Trump has attempted to use the offer of a reinstatement of DACA as a bargaining chip to get funding for a stronger border wall and security. However, DACA supporters are refusing to go along.
Meanwhile, law enforcement has been dealing with the implications of the program first-hand. Just last week, according to KUSI News, Border Patrol agents arrested two men present in the United States under Obama’s DACA executive order for their involvement in human smuggling incidents.

In the Eye of the Beholder
Once upon a time in America, in a far different and far more gentle age, it was possible for four young men from Memphis, Tennessee, to appear at a performance in a Northern city dressed as Confederate officers and sing a song entitled “Save Your Confederate Money Boys, the South Shall Rise Again” without being booed off the stage. Not only that, rather than their performance at the 1956 International Quartet Singing Contest in Minneapolis, Minnesota, being met by a mob of screaming, placard-carrying protesters, the quartet, the Confederates, became that year’s gold medal winners. In that bygone era of our nation’s kinder past, such things were entirely acceptable, but in today’s politically correct and racially charged society anything that relates to the Confederacy, from songs, memorial statues and flags to place names, t-shirts and bumper stickers, have become anathema to a large section of the population in the North and, sadly enough, to many in the South as well. Even in the Confederate’s home state of Tennessee, there is now a theater in Nashville that has felt it politically expedient to cause their annual showing of a highly-acclaimed, Academy Award-winning film to be, like the movie’s title, Gone with the Wind.

Christopher Steele is no-show in London court in civil case over dossier
Via Billy
Steele was a no-show Monday for a long-requested
deposition in London, Fox News has learned. The news comes as Senate
Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Sen. Lindsey
Graham, R-S.C., have announced a criminal referral on Steele.
On both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, former British
MI-6 Intelligence Officer Christopher Steele is going to extremes to
avoiding answering questions from the United States Congress, while at
the same time avoiding being videotaped and deposed in a multi-million
dollar libel case brought against Buzzfeed.
The media outlet published the unverified Trump dossier just over a year ago, setting off an international firestorm.
