FISA Memo Released: Here's What It Says

FISA Memo Released: Here's What It Says

Source:  ZeroHedge

Update:

"The just released FISA memo  accuses senior officials at the DOJ of inappropriately using biased opposition research into then-candidate Trump to obtain surveillance warrants  on transition team members as part of the federal investigation into the Trump campaign and Russia.

According to the document,  information from the the so-called Steele dossier was "essential" to the acquisition of surveillance warrants on Trump campaign aide Carter Page. It claims that then-deputy FBI director Andrew  McCabe told the committee in December that without the information from the Steele dossier, no surveillance warrant for Page would have been sought.

The memo  alleges that the political origins of the dossier — paid for by Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) — were not disclosed to the clandestine court that signed off on the warrant request.

The document claims that although the FBI had "clear evidence" that the author of the dossier, former British spy Christopher Steele,  was biased against Trump, it did not convey that to the surveillance court  when making its warrant applications. Steele told then-associate deputy attorney general Bruce Ohr that he was  "desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president,"  the memo says. ...."

Photo Catches Democrats Literally Playing iPhone Games During Trump’s SOTU Speech

"...A particularly sneaky photograph from Getty Images caught exactly what some Democrats were doing on their phones while Trump was speaking. A photo from Chip Somodevilla shows an unidentified Congressional Black Caucus member playing an iPhone game on her phone as Trump spoke.

Perhaps a version of Candy Crush?

Two other members were looking at twitter and editing what looks like a talking point, respectively...."

Donald Trump is teaching Republicans how to fight

Donald Trump is teaching Republicans how to fight

Michael Goodwin  NewYorkPost.com

"....This is not George Bush’s or John Boehner’s Republican Party. This is Trump’s GOP, as he demonstrated in spades in his first State of the Union address.

For days, the White House advertised  his speech as one where a kinder, gentler Trump would reach across the aisle  and invite opponents to work with him on bipartisan programs to fix our broken immigration system and our crumbling infrastructure.

After all, that’s what Republicans usually do — soften their tone and, badgered by a liberal Washington press corps, give in to big government ideas.

While Trump did indeed deliver on those promises, it was just barely. Those offers were exceptions in an otherwise <snip>-the-Democrats, full-speed-ahead performance.

If this was Trump reaching out his hand, he was doing it from a position of strength and supreme confidence. If there is to be compromise, Dems will have to pay dearly for it...."

The State of the Union stats don’t lie: Americans are turning against Trump-hating celebrities and buying into the President’s American dream - THAT’S a nightmare for Democrats’

"The stats don't lie.

Within minutes of President Donald Trump's first State of the Union speech, CBS News revealed their YouGov poll approval ratings on it.

Unsurprisingly, 97% of Republican speech watchers liked it.

More surprisingly, 72% of Independents liked it.

Staggeringly, 43% of Democrats liked it.

Overall, CBS reported that 75% of Americans approved of the speech.

For such a seriously divisive and polarising President, who is currently languishing with just 39% personal approval ratings, these were sensationally good results.

Interestingly, 8/10 Americans in the poll felt the President was trying to unite the country with his speech and two thirds of Americans said it made them feel proud. ....."

Trump Administration Says It Has "No Plans" To Build "Nationalized" 5G Network

Trump Administration Says It Has "No Plans" To Build "Nationalized" 5G Network

"Update: Several senior White House officials told Recode Monday that the Trump administration has no plans to build a "nationalized" US 5G network. The presentation, compiled by an unnamed senior NSC aide, was merely a dated proposal that will probably never see the light of day, the officials said.

The administration sources also pointed out that the FCC has a much larger role in setting broadband policy, and Ajit Pai, the current FCC chairman, has said he opposes the nationalization idea.

The NSC, they said, is only one component of a much larger decision-making process on the part of the federal government to set broadband policy. Its say is not final on these matters — and its memo does not appear to have gained traction with other tech-focused arms of the White House, according to multiple sources within the Trump administration.

A spokesman for the NSC, meanwhile, did not respond to an email seeking comment Monday. ....."

Fitness Tracking App Accidentally Reveals Secret US Military Bases, CIA "Black" Sites

Fitness Tracking App Accidentally Reveals Secret US Military Bases, CIA "Black" Sites

"An interactive online fitness tracking map published in November of 2017 which compiles a running history of the location and routes of 27 million fitness-device users has unwittingly revealed the location, staffing, patrol routes and layout of U.S. and foreign military bases around the world.

San Francisco based fitness company Strava posted their "global heatmap" to their website, containing two years worth of fitness data across several fitness devices such as Jawbone and Fitbit. The map is not live, rather, it is a composite of overlapping routes.

In most urban areas such as major cities such as New York, Strava's map appears as solid neon lights following just about every road on which one might exercise......"
