After years without turning over a single document in response to dozens of Sharyl Attkisson’s subpoenas, the government now argues that her case should be dismissed, in part, because she hasn’t learned the names of the “John Doe” federal agents to insert in the lawsuit; names which only the government knows and has refused to divulge.

A new poll from Rasmussen Reports confirms the damage done by the Obama-era abuses by the FBI and other intelligence agencies and gives further evidence that Americans are on the side of investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson and others who are trying to rip the veil of secrecy off Obama’s domestic spying operations.

It shouldn’t take a Special Counsel investigation to identify and expose Russian activities we know have been going on for a century.  It is time for America to get back in the counterintelligence fight by cleaning house and getting rid of incompetent counterintelligence operatives such as the FBI's Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, and it is time for Congress, as it did with the HUAC investigations, to plumb the full depth of Russian efforts to sow discord in our country.

It's time for radical change at the Department of Justice where Attorney General Jeff Sessions has been hobbled by careerist underlings, such as FBI Director Wray and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who have worked harder at protecting their fellow careerists and their institutional turf than they have worked at protecting the American people.

Comey seems to have protected status for any misconduct. The Deep State is in cover-up mode. The FBI, DOJ, and the Special Counsel are stonewalling requests for Comey documents, said Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton.

Instead of looking into whether one of the highest-ranking officials in the United States government had been compromised by a foreign power, the Obama-era FBI and Department of Justice decided to investigate the messenger, a political small fry with no power to affect policy or, for example, approve selling 20 percent of America’s uranium to the Russians.

If normal procedures were followed, it’s incredible to think of how many FBI and Justice Department officials would have touched the multiple applications to wiretap Trump associates that were allegedly granted, at least in part, on the basis of unverified and thus prohibited information.

Conservatives are nearly unanimous in saying that Democrats attempted to prevent publication of the House Intelligence memo because they hoped to cover up the fact that the Department of Justice and the FBI had abused their power in opposition to the Trump campaign and President Trump.

The Steele criminal referral we reported on last week in essence asks the FBI to investigate a source with whom FBI officials collaborated, and whose evidence they used in a fashion that’s under congressional investigation. The referral reveals the deep conflicts of interest of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and others who signed the questionable wiretap applications using the Steele dossier.

If the Lois Lerner “no one is responsible” scenario is allowed to playout again in the Trump surveillance case, then the Deep State will win again. We urge CHQ readers to join us in demanding a Special Counsel and select committee to investigate the abuses of the FISA process disclosed in the Nunes memo. This time heads must roll, or constitutional liberty will continue to be subverted by arrogant and unaccountable operatives of our own government. Social media hashtag #HeadsMustRoll
