House Intel Committee Chair Devin Nunes said on Sunday that the American public will be “shocked” when the redacted portions of Carter Page’s FISA warrant application are revealed, reports the Daily Caller.
“We are quite confident that once the American people see these 20 pages, at least for those that will get real reporting on this issue, they will be shocked by what’s in that FISA application,” Nunes told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo - implying that the public may one day see an unredated (or less redacted) copy.

After being compelled by a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, the DOJ released a heavily redacted portion of the FBI’s FISA warrant application and several renewals for Carter Page, of which more than 20 pages are unable to be viewed. In a June 14 letter, Nunes and opther Republicans on the House Intel Committee asked President Trump to declassify 21 pages from the release.
“What’s left that’s redacted, the American people really do need to know what’s underneath there,” said Nunes on Sunday.
He also insisted on Sunday that “the Left and the media” do not want additional portions of the FISAs to be made public.
“They don’t want that unredacted. They don’t want transparency for the American people,” he said.
Nunes said that he believes that the president’s lawyers are reviewing the June 14 letter to see if the 20 pages can be made public. -Daily Caller
Meanwhile, the portions which were able to be read from the 412-page release revealed that the FBI relied heavily on the unverified “Steele” dossier, which relied on information from high level Kremlin officials as part of its claims.
If foreign collusion upsets you, then
Steele’s actual collusion w/ Russians (funded by Hillary) should bother you more than the unproven collusion Steele merely alleges against Trump. That it doesn’t suggests the anti-Trump collusion hysteria is insincere. https://t.co/J5f2YTBL4T— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) July 29, 2018
To date, there is only one foreigner who without a doubt colluded with Russians to tilt the 2016 election: Christopher Steele, a foreign spy who worked on Hillary’s behalf and lied to the FBI about the full extent of his election meddling during the campaign.

If a foreign spy using Kremlin sources to seed fake stories in the press and bogus investigative leads to the FBI on a campaign’s behalf (and then lying about it to federal authorities) doesn’t bother you, then you don’t actually care about foreign election interference.

In other Nunes News: Twitter is in the crosshairs
Following widespread reports that Twitter is censoring conservative users with the use of “shadowbans,” Nunes said that he and other lawmakers were exploring legal action against the social media giant.
“We were getting caught up in some type of trap to where people couldn’t see our Twitter feed,” said Nunes on Fox’s Sunday Morning Futures, adding: “I don’t know what Twitter is up to. It sure looks to me like they are censoring people and they ought to stop it, and we’re looking at any legal remedies we can go through.”
Nunes’ comments came after several media reports and social media posts noting the phenomenon, capped off by a report by the liberal outlet VICE confirming the claims (albeit they only focused on the “dropdown search” issue and not the “Quality Filter” shadowbans) we reported earlier in the month.
In a bizarre response, Twitter issued a strange explanation to “set the record straight,” where they explicitly state that they do not engage in the practice - except then they describe how they do exactly that.

“People are asking us if we shadow ban. We do not. But let’s start with, “what is shadow banning?”
.jpg)
The best definition we found is this: deliberately making someone’s content undiscoverable to everyone except the person who posted it, unbeknownst to the original poster.” -Twitter
Then, Twitter reiterates they don’t shadow ban - with the caveat in parentheses that you may need to go directly to the timeline of some users in order to see their tweets. (tee hee!)
“We do not shadow ban. You are always able to see the tweets from accounts you follow (although you may have to do more work to find them, like go directly to their profile). And we certainly don’t shadow ban based on political viewpoints or ideology.” -Twitter
In other words, Twitter says they don’t shadow ban - it’s just that tweets from people you follow may never appear unless you click directly into their timeline.
Between documented user reports and a January undercover video from Project Veritas in which then-current and former Twitter employees admit to shadowbanning conservatives, Nunes may have plenty of ammunition.
I strongly recommend that everyone read “The Russia Hoax”, a new book by Gregg Jarrett, an attorney, with Fox News. It is a detailed chronology of the criminal acts committed by the Clinton’s, the DNC, the FBI, and the DOJ that has led to and perpetuated the silly “Russian collusion” investigation against President Trump. Detailed and with all of the legal statutes (or lack thereof) involved including the misuse of the phony Steele “dossier” that was fraudulently used by the FBI to obtain the FISA warrants to spy on Carter Page and the Trump campaign. It’s a good book and all based on provable fact. Excellent book for those wanting some facts instead of “fake news”.
I heard that book is excellent. Listening to Gregg Jarett on talk radio, it is infuriating that the Deep State, the most corrupt and evil leaders of the highest organizations in America, were working together to frame President Trump with the fake Dossier that was unverified to boot, written by Killary! I can’t even imagine what would happen if this were Trump and his Administration! I am old enough to remember the fuss made over Richard Nixon who told a lily about a break-in, no one died, the country wasn’t turned into a cesspool of Communist/Socialist infiltrating and taking over the country, it was just a lie, about a break-in that was purely political, and, we know others including LBJ and Democrats have done worse! Difference? The media hated Nixon, and they protect Democrats. By the time we all were fed WATERGATE, WATERGATE, WATERGATE, 24/7 for over 75 days, Nixon looked like he murdered babies in the Oval Office! What did BO do but destroy America? At least Nixon opened the “Gateway to China, and ended the Viet Nam War the Democrats started!” I actually felt sorry for the man and his family. But when the media hates you, you are going to become their #1 target and they are going to destroy you. President Trump isn’t going to allow that to happen. Thank God for President Trump, without his victory, we would never have known the extent of the Deep State, and the corruption and evil that took over America for the darkest time in U.S. History. I love our President!
If it weren’t for President Obama we might not have done the intelligence community assessment that we did that set up a whole sequence of events which are still unfolding today including Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation. President Obama is responsible for that. It was he who tasked us to do that intelligence community assessment in the first place. CLAPPER’S OWN CONFESSION

A good summation of the democratic platform:
Now that they have settled on a bumper sticker, perhaps it would be useful to explore a partial list of the previous 2018 slogans that the DNC considered and rejected for various reasons. Here are our top favorites:
Vote for Us. We Hate Heterosexual Marriage AND the Flag!
Higher Taxes? To Infinity and Beyond!
Make Israel Less Jew-y
Please Don’t Examine Our Historical Position on Russia Between 1916 and 2016

One of the challenges that the Democrat Party always faces is that it cannot be honest with the American people about its bat-guano crazy positions on every single issue. The Democrats have to lie to the voters, otherwise they’d be unable to win any seats outside of California and New York.
They don’t want abortion to be “safe, legal and rare” – they want it to be on-demand, legal and partial birth.
They don’t want “common sense gun control” – they want total confiscation of private arms and a state monopoly on force.
They don’t want “bathroom equality” – they want pedophilia to be normalized so that their favorite Hollywood directors don’t have to pretend that their deviant preferences for toddlers and babies are “jokes.”
This is why Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been such a blessing. The 28-year-old openly socialist candidate is too young and naïve to lie about the Democrats’ positions, and the Democrat establishment never expected her to defeat a 28-year incumbent. Now, Pelosi and Co. are desperately trying to get Ocasio-Cortez to shut up about socialism already.
Don’t let those crusty old white Democrats silence you as a Woman of Color, Alexandria! You go, girl – or whatever your chosen pronoun is! Also, and this is just a helpful tip for Ocasio-Cortez, based on watching how the Democrats operate for longer than she has been alive: Make sure you check the brakes on your car before you have to drive down a steep and twisty road. Just sayin’.
We also get the sense that one hand is not talking to the other in the DNC-Fake News cabal right now. The Democrats’ leadership REALLY wants Ocasio-Cortez to pipe down, but the media keeps running to her like she’s a cute zoo animal. Let’s see what trick she does next! Awww! She blinked!
The media just can’t get enough of her insightful comments on how stopping illegal aliens from crossing the border is the exact same thing as ethnic cleansing, or how socialism will totally work here in America unlike everywhere else because this time they’ll do it right and they’ll have the right people running it. Please, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez! Tell us more!
Then, there’s the Democrat doofus candidate in Florida who wants to tax all families with more than two children as “irresponsible breeders.” For the People! The Democrats have admired and fawned over China’s one-child, abort-all-the-girls policy for years now, so this position is not outside their idea of “mainstream” either.
Advice to doofus: Check your heart medication carefully before taking it in case Debbie Wasserman-Schultz swapped your pills out for Viagra. Just sayin’.
As the Democrats continue to crack up, the American people are noticing. According to the latest NBC poll, 56 percent of Americans now think that the Democrat Party is “outside the mainstream.” That’s the highest number of Americans who think the Democrats are nuts to ever be polled and it has to have Democrat strategists panicking. “Scaring the Daylights out of the People” might be a more accurate slogan than “For the People.”
Keep in mind, this is an NBC poll – one of the same outfits that predicted with 95 percent certainty that we’d all be bowing down to Crooked Hillary in her hot little muumuu right about now.
None of this should be mistaken as cause for conservatives to stay home on election day this fall. If the crazy “For the People” party takes the House majority, Speaker Pelosi will file Articles of Impeachment on day one, despite the fact that President Trump hasn’t committed anything even vaguely resembling High Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Mark Patricks
Shocked??
Of course not, this is exactly what we expect from the liberal dem bloodsucking parasitical life forms.
There is only one answer to dealing with these life forms, why are we waiting?
That’s a good question, Why are we waiting and for what? If you don’t know by now that all these things listed are the real things that will happen if these criminals ever get the majority. Please go out and vote. Independents like myself also need to support our President, he’s not perfect and not 1 of them ever was, but he’s trying harder then any President in History. Give him a victory in Nov. and if he doesn’t make things better in those 2 years, then vote against him for the next 4. All I’m saying is he’s not finished, at least give the man a chance.
I am 87 and I cant believe what is happening to this great country that I love and was willing to give my life up for, please vote in Novembor for all for the republican party and then maybe we can get rid all the people who wanted to control are country
I’m 72, and remember well, when Communism was feared, not embraced by our youth! Problem is, none of these starry eyed college and high school kids know what Communism is about. They hear free, everyone taken care of, free, healthcare taken care of, free, food taken care of, free, housing taken care of, free, college paid for, and free and much more blather, blather, endless blather that is propaganda for young ears! Brainwashing! If any one of them were able to escape Communist Cuba, Venezuela, N. Korea, Russia, or any oppressive country in the world, trust me, they would be Conservative, and they would tell you exactly how wonderful these evil ideologies are. There the ungrateful, Neanderthal football players are, on their knee, refusing to stand for the flag our men and women gave their lives so they could live in mansions, drive expensive sports cars, have money to burn, and never once, caring one bit about those who gave these assholes the opportunity to play a game that too many Americans worship, giving them multi million dollars and fame, while the real heroes, who fight for our country, are demonized by these IDIOTS! I never watched NFL after and never will, I could care less about the Super Bowl, and I’m sick of Americans who put this stupid game, that only America reveres, on such a pedestal they care more about these brats living like kings, than they do our heroes. What slays me is Islam, Communism and Socialism has ENSLAVED, tortured, and murdered millions of men, women and children throughout the decades, starved them, and killed the entire family if one person dare speak out against the evil. Yet, we continue to hear about Slavery! This is getting old, and meaningless. It was a horrific part of our history yes, I totally agree, slavery should have never happened, but it did, and trust me, it was NOT THE WHITE MAN who sold slaves to the slave ships and owned slaves, it was OBAMA’S ancestors, the Arabs! The first slave owner in America was a Black man, then the Southern Democrats caught on and used slaves to work their plantations. I am sick of ignorant Blacks stirring up old feelings where they don’t have a clue what the real story is. Democrats founded the KKK, Democrats wanted to keep the slaves on the plantations, Republicans and Lincoln freed them. Democrats wrote the Jim Crow Laws. NOT REPUBLICANS. The first Black Congressmen that were elected to Congress after the Civil War were all Republicans. Dr. Carson, Herman Cain, Allen West, Tony Scott, Condi Rice, Mia Love, Star and thousands of other well read and intelligent Black men and women know the truth about Democrats and Blacks. They couldn’t keep them on the plantation to work, but they can now keep them on the Democratic Plantation for a vote, by promising that the government will take care of them, instead of them taking care of themselves by coming self sufficient and educated. BTW, not only is Dr. Carson the only hero I have ever followed in my lifetime, he is my hero. I campaigned for him, and I was a speaker at my precinct for him. No one knows just how brilliant this man is and few know of his accomplishments that far exceed being the most renown pediatric neurosurgeon in the world, which is amazing, neurosurgeons are a class of doctors that stands apart from the rest, greatly admired. Herman Cain was my choice against the Arab/Muslim/Communist/Kenyan, but the Chicago thugs set him up with a phony sex scandal that never happened, and because of his family, he dropped out of the race, seeing just how evil and dirty the Commies played! So no, I don’t have a prejudice bone in my body, but I hate ignorance!
The bottom line shown by this entire which hunt is that Russia was in collusion with Hillary to get her elected, not Trump. The information from the Kremlin was meant to destroy Donald Trump, not help him be elected. How is this not the obvious take on the entire situation. The Uranium One deal that Hillary helped facilitate shows collusion already taking place affecting our national security. The Russia gate is simply on going collusion with criminal intent by Hillary and the Soviets. Hillary was their baby and inside road to do whatever they wanted if she was elected.
I ask again, how is this not the obvious take on the broad picture of this entire collusion scandal. Mueller is tasked with taking down Trump, but has been unable to break his people and obtain anything to do the job.
Isn’t the relying on information that Hillary bought from Russia, that resulted in the investigation of candidate Trump and his followers and could potentially destroy his Presidency proof of collusion between poor old Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Party, the FBI and Russia?
President Trump need to make a Presidential Order to release the underrated version of these documents now!!!!!!
