Out on a Limb

Here's a first ... I am recommending an article I haven't completely read (I did watch the video) ... Andrew McCarthy's National Review Online recap of the FISA approval of the surveillance of Carter Page and into the Trump campaign. The reason I am doing this is because this piece has received kudos from the Powerline blog and many conservative radio and TV outlets. And the reason I have not thoroughly read it is because my IPad does not easily magnify it ... which is now, unfortunately, a requisite due to my failing eyesight. But I will go by these very strong recommendations to go out on a limb and pass it along ... see: National Review Online Story.

(My kind liberal readers can pretend that they read it and repeat Shiff's talking points as negating comments below.
