Yes, the FBI Was Investigating the Trump Campaign When It Spied (National Review)
Trey Gowdy and Marco Rubio evidently paid little attention to testimony before their own committees on how Obama officials made the Trump campaign the subject of a counterintelligence investigation.
Well, well, well. The bipartisan Beltway establishment has apparently had its fill of this “Trump colluded with Russia” narrative — the same narrative the same establishment has lustily peddled for nearly two years.

Another Problematic Blog Post By Joy Reid Uncovered (Daily Wire)
Among the names many on the right have cited as examples of left-wing media personalities that appear to be enjoying a double standard compared to the recently fired pro-Trump Roseanne Barr, MSNBC’s Joy Reid is at the top of the list. Along with several homophobic blog posts that she has blamed on hackers (a claim the Daily Beast convincingly debunked), yet another controversial post has emerged in which Reid promotes the 9/11 “truther” conspiracy theory.
