[Washington Insider] Sen. Lindsey Graham is asking the Justice Department to declassify material related to Inspector General Michael Horowitz's investigation into alleged abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
The South Carolina Republican's letter sent to Attorney General William Barr was discussed during an interview Monday on Fox News.
Asked what he wants to know, Graham said, "As much declassification as possible. I want the public to see the process in real time. I want the FISA warrant applications to be revealed to the public as much as possible."

Wiki Page bio: USNA intelligence officer, UN posting to Western Morocco, Degree From G'Town in Nat Security Studies, PhD degree from SOAS, University of London in 2012 - struggling understudy to the late Shirin Akiner, London office of Merrill Lynch - Russian Desk, Gazprom connection, founded his own investment firm, and on, and on.
Now, please tell me this fellow had no US Intelligence Community connection and that he was completely oblivious (unwitting) of his agent and source role to Shirin Akiner....no wait, the Trump campaign.
Do not neglect the fact that FBI interest in Page appears to have completely vaporized once he departed the Trump campaign.
[Breitbart] Sunday on New York AM 970 radio’s "The Cats Roundtable," former House Speaker Newt Gingrich argued that it is not "conceivable" for neither former President Barack Obama nor his Attorney General Loretta Lynch to not know the FBI was spying on the Donald Trump campaign.
Gingrich told host John Catsimatidis after the recent release of the Department of Justice’s inspector general report that it is "clear" the fix was in and those involved will not be prosecuted.
"With everything we’re learning from the inspector general’s report, how is it conceivable that the attorney general and the president didn’t know about it?" asked Gingrich. "So, part 1 is to go back and look at 2015, 2016, and ask, given what a hands-on and dynamic president that Barack Obama was, do you really believe all these things happened and the attorney general and the president didn’t know it?"
He continued, "Part 2 ... there’s a story that the woman who tried to bribe her son into a university, that she and her husband got caught, that they’re now facing 40 years in jail. Now, how can we not prosecute Comey? How can we not prosecute McCabe? How can we say that they’ve done all the terrible things that the inspector general said they did, but they’re somehow above the law? People are not going to have any faith in the system until people who are guilty are prosecuted and are treated like everybody else. People are not going to have any faith in the system. ... It’s clear that no matter how bad they were, the fix is in and they’re not going to be prosecuted."

...do you really believe all these things happened and the attorney general and the president didn’t know it?"
No, I do not. Obama's involvement is precisely why nothing is being done about any of it. Bringing charges against this fellow will stir up a hornets nest, but it must be done.

The only question in my mind is where the Truth lies between "Who will rid me of this turbulent priest?" at one end and "Loretta, see to it personally that something is done!"

Gingrich is only saying what everyone else within the Beltway has known or suspected since this sordid affair began. It's a very well networked community, but a closed circuit to anyone on the outside.

Prosecuting Champ, Lynch, ValJar ( Note the common characteristic) would unleash a nationwide race war. Wittingly or not the incessant drumbeat of racism claims and white supremacy has created a tinderbox than gives even the most ardent among us pause I hope. I’m certain it must be done, and I’m not sure the smoking ruins of our inner cities won’t crack the foundations of the nation.

I would be satisfied with prosecuting Brennan, Comey, ValJar et al and leaving Obama as a "unindicted co-conspirator". We are already mimicking the last days of the Late Roman Republic -- hopefully we can avoid the Caesers and muddle along for another hundred years.

I think it was John Solomon who said that he estimates that we know about 40% of the wrongdoing that occurred in the last administration.
I wonder how much of this 40% would have to be released before people began to get a change in their thinking about the honesty, corruption and integrity of the last administration. That is, assuming the MSM did some honest reporting.

The foundations have already been eaten away, NMBS. Can anyone name an agency that is not corrupted? Education Dept is now armed? Really? I say bring it! It will have to be sorted out sometime.
[NYPOST] The Department of Justice has drafted legislation that would expedite capital punishment for those found guilty of mass killings, according to a top Trump administration official.
Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff Marc Short told news hounds Monday that the veep’s policy team has been working with Attorney General William Barr on the death penalty bill, which will likely be part of a larger gun control package the White House will try to sell to Congress amid a wave of shooting massacres, including the latest rampage in Texas that killed seven people.
Barr in July said the federal government would push to resume executions of convicted murderers on death row after a 16-year hiatus.
While a capital punishment provision might entice Republican senators to get on board, it will likely be a non-starter for House Democrats.
Already, House Democrats are turning up their noses at a bipartisan background check bill, a piece of Senate legislation being pushed by Sens. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.). House Democrats say it doesn’t go far enough.
On the flip side, Senate Republicans seem unwilling to pick up a background check bill passed earlier this year in the Democrat-led House.
The president has shown various levels of support for strengthening gun control laws since the double mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas. Saturday’s drive-by rampage in Odessa and Midland, Texas, brought the issue to the political forefront yet again.

Not going to happen It would be clear-cut discrimination regardless of how appropriate it might be. Either fast track them all or don't.

Not fair. A single day shooter of say, 10 people to be swiftly executed, while serial killers and gang members with multiple homicide cases continue to await an Obama to 'pardon' them ?

I don't think any libs (other than his lawyers, who were just following orders doing their jobs) complained much about McVeigh's schedule. But get ready for a Cat 7 over the mere trial of the 9/11 conspirators

Well, the libs probably wouldn't mind a swift execution if it were an NRA member, or a Trump supporter. But if it were a POC, or an illegal immigrant, they would oppose it.

Probably more than 1/2 of these mass shooters end up taking their own lives, getting shot by the police or shot by an armed bystander with a firearm.
