I find it remarkable how comprehensively the Democrats, DoJ and FBI have played into Trump's hands over the Nunes memo. By conspicuously trying to hide information they have aligned themselves against the public, drawn suspicion and imbued the memo with totemic power.

MAXINE WATERS: Russia is out to get me!
February 1, 2018
Maxine Waters now sees a Russian behind every mailbox and lamp post.
During an anti-Trump tirade at an urban housing event, the California congresswoman went on a stem winder about Russia and the Kremlin’s alleged love for the American president.
At one point, the paranoid Waters declared Trump has committed “obstruction of justice,” and made the case for impeachment, also citing “possible collusion” with Russia.
She theorized Russia wanted to elect Trump so he would lift sanctions to allow Russia to drill for oil in the Arctic.
President Obama created the sanctions. She claimed Trump “hates” Obama.
“I want to tell you they absolutely hacked our Democratic National Committee—absolutely did that,” she told the audience to cheers.
“RT, which is Russian television, absolutely interfered with a speech of mine on the floor of Congress and blocked me out for 10 minutes,” she bellowed, as a woman in the audience gasped, “What?!?”
“They don’t play. They mean business,” Waters declared.
She was referring to an incident last January when C-SPAN briefly showed RT on its Internet feed. The TV broadcast wasn’t affected.
C-SPAN blamed the moment on an “internal routing error.”
“We don’t believe that we were hacked,” the network said in a statement

Unbearlievable! Bear pushes injured trainer around in wheelchair
Published by Ruptly on Wed, 31 Jan 2018 14:39:57 GMT
A bear pushing a man around in a wheelchair isn’t the first thing you’d expect to see on the streets of Moscow, but that is exactly what Yasha the Bear was doing on Tuesday.
Trainer Oleg Aleksandrov had an accident at Nizhegorodsky Circus, falling 18 metres from the central dome, breaking both legs and an arm. He was raising three baby bears at the time.
"They were tiny back then and we bought up all the children’s food in the shops because that’s what they ate. We fed them from a bottle and raised them since then," Oleg said. However, following the accident, Oleg was hospitalised and taken away from his bears or "hairy children" as he calls them for four months.
"I was very worried about how our relationship would change," he said, adding "this thought was spinning around my head all the time I lay in hospital. I used to imagine whether or not they would accept me back. There could be a distance between us."
Fortunately, everything ended pawsitively when Oleg was reunited with the bears last week and they accepted his scent "as one of their own." Yasha the Bear seems only too happy to help Oleg get around until he’s fit again.

US tries to stir up anti-Russian moods in its stance on jet incident
Russian Politics & Diplomacy
February 01, 23:31 UTC+3
MOSCOW, February 1./TASS/. The Russian Foreign Ministry has commented on the incident in which Russia’s Sukhoi-27 jet on January 29 intercepted a US plane moving towards the Russian border, saying the US reaction is a new attempt to accuse Russia of aggressive moves and stir up Russophobic sentiment in media.
"We have paid attention to continuing attempts by American partners to make a noise about what is broadly speaking routine incidents of mutual escorting," the ministry said in a commentary on Thursday. "We see it as an intention to stir up Russophobic moods in media, accuse Russia of aggressive moves. We just want to note that this practice is scarcely in line with a bid to settle emerging problems in a civilized manner," the commentary said.
It said Russia had repeatedly suggested its US partners to specify provisions of the Agreement on the Prevention of Incidents On and Over the High Seas. "However, each time the American side dodged a professional dialogue. We urge the American colleagues to get down to the settlement of existing concerns at the negotiating table," the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
Incident over the Black Sea
According to earlier reports, Russia’s Sukhoi-27 jet on January 29 intercepted a US plane EP-3E Aries II, which was moving towards Russia’s border over the Black Sea. Throughout the incident the Russian jet observed all safety rules. The Defense Ministry said when the US surveillance plane set course away from the Russian border, the Sukhoi-27 jet returned to the base.
The US Navy claimed that the interception was unsafe, because the Sukhoi-27 approached the EP-3 as close as five feet (about 1.5 meters) and then crossed the plane’s flight path, after which the EP-3 had to overcome turbulence created by the Sukhoi-27’s engines. The US side said the interception lasted for two hours and 40 minutes. The US Navy made public several videos claiming they showed Russia’s Sukhoi-27 flying next to its EP-3 plane over the Black Sea.
"The Russian fighter’s maneuvers on January 29 were standard and absolutely legal and safe for the US surveillance plane EP-3E," the Russian Defense Ministry said on Thursday.
"The Aerospace Force will continue to maintain reliable protection of Russia’s airspace. If the awareness of this is a reason for US air pilots to feel depression or succumb to phobias, we advise the US side to exclude the routes of such flights near Russian borders in the future or return to the negotiating table and agree on their rules," the Defense Ministry said about the Pentagon’s allegations.
