Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, said on…
By Lorraine Silvetz, MSW Liberty Nation February 4, 2018 What President Trump has experienced with regard to the deceit and prosecutorial misconduct with the FBI and the Justice Department, the Bundys have experienced, too, so they have similar experiences here.

Rep. Jim Jordan: We Need Second Special Counsel From ‘Middle of the Country, Outside the Swamp’ By Justin Baragona Mediaite February 3, 2018 “I definitely think there are grounds for a second special counsel.” pic.twitter.com/uOCClJpoPa — Fox News (@FoxNews) February 3, 2018 As one would expect, there’s been a huge partisan divide on the controversial Nunes memo that was publicly released yesterday.

Nunes memo fails to make legal case against the FBI By Danny Cevallos NBC News February 3, 2018 The House Intelligence Committee on Friday made public a Republican memo that questions the issuance of a FISA warrant for surveillance of former Trump campaign aide Carter Page. The main point of the memo is this: The public’s faith in the FISA process, and the courts’ protection of individual rights, “is necessarily dependent on the government’s production to the (FISC) court of all material and relevant facts,” including “information potentially favorable to the target of the FISA application that is…
