Huge color coded 'charts'........... The 270 people connected to the Russia probesBy DARREN SAMUELSOHN, SARAH FROSTENSON and JEREMY C.F. LIN | 01/21/18 05:00 PM EDT A POLITICO analysis of court documents, congressional letters, public testimony and media reports reveals that the investigations into the 2016 election and its aftermath now involve hundreds of people in Washington, Moscow and around the world. Some names sound familiar, like Stephen Bannon and Donald Trump Jr., but most don’t. Taken together, they illuminate the way federal investigators are assembling the pieces of the Russia puzzle. Let’s look at Team Trump 73 associated with his 2016 campaign 44 are lawyers 27 are current or former Trump administration officials 24 served on the transition team 12 have ties to the Trump Organization www.politico.com/interactives/2018/trump-russia-investigation-ties/No easy way for me to copy it/them..............

linkUSA Today... “The gunman in the Las Vegas shooting that killed 58 people and wounded 489 others last October had purchased at least 55 guns in the prior 12 months, according to a report released Friday out of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.” This is just plain nuts. Scary stuff. According to the new T campaign ad, upthread, Dems are to be judged complicit in any crime committed by illegal immigrants. By analogy, NRA supporting Reps are therefore complicit in the Veags atrocity and all of the others (many of which are committed by US resident males). What say the peas? I should have have read on: other peas said it better and before me.

Paul Ryan Collected $500,000 In Koch Contributions Days After House Passed Tax LawThat’s peanuts compared with what the Koch brothers will save. By Mary Papenfuss 01/20/2018 Just days after the House passed its version of the federal tax law slashing corporate tax rates, House Speaker Paul Ryan collected nearly $500,000 in campaign contributions from billionaire energy mogul Charles Koch and his wife, according to a recent campaign donor report. Koch and his brother David spent millions of dollars to get the tax law passed and are spending millions more in a public relations campaign in an attempt to boost support for the law, The Wall Street Journal reported. “It looks like House Speaker Ryan is quickly being rewarded for passing this legislation that overwhelmingly benefits the Kochs and billionaires like them,” Adam Smith, spokesman for campaign finance reform nonprofit Every Voice, told the International Business Times, which first reported the Koch contributions.

Nice, not really, useless! WH blasts bipartisan immigration plan ahead of key shutdown voteBY JORDAN FABIAN - 01/21/18 11:36 PM EST The White House on Sunday blasted a bipartisan immigration proposal ahead of a Senate vote to end the government shutdown. White House spokesman Hogan Gidley called the plan co-authored by Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) “a giant step in the wrong direction” that is too lax on illegal immigration. “The Flake-Graham-Durbin proposal embodies every reason Americans do not trust Washington. It puts people who are in this country unlawfully ahead of our own American citizens,” Gidley said in a statement to The Hill, also referring to another sponsor, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) The White House is trying to discourage Republican lawmakers from signing onto the plan after the government reopens. The bipartisan bill would offer a pathway to citizenship for people who qualify for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), the Obama-era initiative for young immigrants brought to the country illegally as children, in exchange for more than $2 billion in border security funding and tweaks to the nation’s visa system.

Want to control the dialogue makes things up to support your agenda. Unbelievable.
Raw Story...
Department of Homeland Security: Trump administration didn’t consult us for ‘DHS study’ on terrorism
“The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was not consulted nor were its analysts used to compile a Trump administration report on terrorism that claims to have come from the DHS, said Spencer Ackerman at The Daily Beast on Sunday.
The administration report claimed that three quarters of “international terrorism” convictions involve immigrants to the United States and was sent out to the media as a bolster to President Donald Trump’s ban on Muslims entering the country.
“An analysis conducted by DHS determined that approximately 73 percent (402 of these 549 individuals) were foreign-born,” said the report.
The trouble is, Ackerman wrote, “the Department of Homeland Security did not perform that analysis. DHS’ analysts did not contribute to the highly controversial report.”
Rather than relying on DHS Secretary Kristjen Nielsen to compile the figures for the report, Attorney Gen. Jeff Sessions — a former Alabama senator and immigration hard-liner — compiled the report and only allowed Nielsen to have input when it was nearly complete.
“The Trump administration is trying to turn counterterrorism into an immigration issue,” said terrorism expert Charles Kurzman to The Daily Beast.
“Career professional analysts at DHS communicated to the Justice Department that the data sought for the report simply did not exist within their department,” said Ackerman. “DHS, multiple sources said, does not track or correlate international terrorism data by citizenship or country of origin, and have warned the Trump administration that doing so risks a misleading portrait of both terrorism and immigration.”
DHS was essentially frozen out of the project, sources said, and the report was presented by a Justice Department spokesman without an accompanying official from DHS.“

Watching MSNBC and Franklin Graham made the comment that the United States has a sin problem. When asked if he thought trump had a sin problem his comment was trump is not perfect BUT he talks and upholds Christian values. Translation: We are willing to over look pussy grabbers actions because of what he says and because he is the president. Hypocritical much? Evangelicals like Graham have lost whatever moral authority they might have claimed to have because of bullshit comments like "America has a sin problem. But, Trump, yeah, overlook it". F#(#$* that! If America has a sin problem Trump is lord god king of the sinners and to overlook that while lecturing "America" on her "sin" problem puts you right down in the mire with him.

It’s just too many people take the word of another person without doing any real research on their own. Having said all that. Yes this story is believable because as soon as the report was released it was being questioned because it didn’t make sense. And it’s sad to say about any administration but this one has shown it’s not above twisting the facts to support its agenda.

One of the ways I to do that though is ask people who have previously provided information from sources I already trust their opinion/history with the source, I find it a good starting point.

GOP considers releasing intel behind memo alleging FISA abusesBy Jeremy Herb, CNN Updated 9:07 AM ET, Mon January 22, 2018 ****** "It's like any document you put out, it should be referenced, footnoted — it should have the appropriate underlying reference to the material and to the degree that you can, show that material," said Rep. Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican who has called for the firing of special counsel Robert Mueller and the resignation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions. "I think the memo is accurate, but I think just because we know what the other side's argument is going to be, you need that," Jordan added. Democrats say the memo's findings are skewed and contain no more than partisan talking points, and they warn that releasing the memo will harm Congress' relationships with the Justice Department and intelligence community. But Republicans appear to be charging ahead with their plan to p ublicly release the document and potentially some of the underlying intelligence so long as sources and methods are not disclosed.********** Conaway, however, argued that the executive branch would still have the chance to review and weigh in on making the materials public, as the committee rules give the President five days to object if the committee votes to make the document public. "We believe it's important enough, given the players involved, to take this step, and there's one other step before those, and that is the White House gets to make an independent review of that," Conaway said. ***** www.cnn.com/2018/01/22/politics/gop-classified-intelligence-fisa-memo/index.htmlIf thy release it they should release all in sources and methods!!

“Trump just sent out an email to fundraise off of the shutdown. He titled it Democrats CAVED. So many things wrong with this. Instead of bringing us together he wants to divide us more. And the fact he’s fundraising off of the #TrumpShutdown is absolutely pathetic. #TrumpResign”
