Here are the major points of the memo from the Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee.

• The Steele dossier formed an essential part of the initial and all three renewal FISA applications against Carter Page.

• Andrew McCabe confirmed that no FISA warrant would have been sought from the FISA Court without the Steele dossier information.

• The political origins of the Steele dossier were known to senior DOJ and FBI officials, but excluded from the FISA applications.

• DOJ official Bruce Ohr met with Steele beginning in the summer of 2016 and relayed to DOJ information about Steele’s bias. Steele told Ohr that he, Steele, was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected president and was passionate about him not becoming president. (Source: Washington Examiner)

Here’s my message of the day:

So finally the House Intelligence memo written by Republican members is coming out.

This morning on the radio with Glenn Beck, I analyzed the importance of this and where it is likely to lead.

We are going to post that exchange right here by 2pm - I hope you will take the time to listen and also to watch my interview with President Trump from last year’s Super Bowl extravaganza which we’ve posted.  

Thanks for visiting us this weekend.
