Newly-released Strzok-Page lovebird text messages: 'potus wants to know everything we're doing'. Plus the punking of Adam Schiff.

After this, what could possibly stop liberals from feeling shame over their party's actions? If President Trump became polite and tender toward them, would that make any difference to Democrats? TD

Thomas Lifson  "Tick, tick, tick… we’re getting closer and closer to the “What did the president know and when did he know it?” moment in the biggest political scandal in American history. What looks like a sitting president authorizing the use of the vast spy apparatus of the federal government on the opposing party candidate for president would, if proven, be far bigger than Watergate – a mere burglary intended to spy on the opposition. Pay attention because you may want to tell your children or grandchildren what it was like watching this all unfold in 2018.

"Up until the present moment, Barack Obama has been missing in all the discussions of surveillance misbehavior. And most curiously, Obama has been almost invisible, staying quiet, and not using his expensive Washington, DC mansion (shared with Valeire Jarrett) as a base for leading the opposition to President Trump, as many of us expected him to do. He is the only president I can remember who didn’t get out of DC when his term in office expired, yet he has been as invisible as if he were Truman retired to Independence or Eisenhower retired to Gettysburg. He hasn’t even spoken out about the opposition to his presidential monument planned for public park land in Chicago, My optimistic guess is that he realizes his peril and is dummying up.

"In a move calculated to infuriate the Democrats, the latest batch of text messages between senior FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page was leaked to Fox News first, and there are some striking revelations." . . .

Adam Schiff, gullible fool  "The easiest marks are the desperate ones, the ones who want something so bad it they lose their common sense, becoming putty in the hands of their manipulators.

"So here we have Rep. Adam Schiff, easy mark for a phone prank tailored especially for him by Russian comedians, pushing all his right buttons. Here is the audio, and man is it stupid. According to Roll Call:

Audio of Russian radio comedians prank-calling Democrat Rep.Adam Schiff shows the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee asking for details about the naked photos of President Donald Trump they were offering.

"It sounds like something out of the old Saturday Night Live, with Schiff joining the Czechoslovakian brothers in the great quest for ... naked photos. Schiff's got egg all over his face now, and more to the point, has now exposed the double standards of Democrats out to Get Trump." . . .

Gulag Bound has it's own take on this: Adam Schiff Gets Punked By Russians Who Told Him They Had Naked Pics Of Trump  . . . "The was made a year ago. Two Russian comedians nicknamed ‘Vovan’ and ‘Lexus’, who have spoofed other Democrats, were the pranksters here. They are famous for making phony phone calls to high-ranking American officials and celebrities, including UN Ambassador Nikki Haley and Elton John. Juvenile… yep. Telling… even more, yep. This was first dug up by The Atlantic, but they didn’t disclose how Schiff’s staff member went about pursuing the information after the call. Schiff’s office said the congressman suspected the call was ‘bogus’ from the beginning and reported it to authorities afterward. Really? Because it sure doesn’t look that way. In a recording of the eight-minute conversation, Schiff seemed to take the call seriously – or at least played along convincingly – and emails from the Democrat’s staff to the fake politician afterwards said he had found it ‘productive’.
