In the past week, two people associated with President Donald Trump and his 2016 campaign have made major headlines. The President’s former attorney Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations while at almost the exact same moment, the Trump Campaign’s former chairman Paul Manafort was found guilty on 8 counts related to tax and bank fraud. These are two very different stories but what they have in common, neither of them have anything to do with Russian collusion. Ben Swann gives it a reality check.

Wracked by allegations of ad fraud and tax evasion, Newsweek‘s senior editors are resigning and it looks like the whole organization is falling apart. But from this chaos has emerged a tiny sliver of truth amidst the torrent of MSM lies. Could this be a sign that the truth will out when the editorial gatekeepers fall, or is this a mere glitch in the matrix? Stay tuned. Here’s more from James Corbett at The Corbett Report.
Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., says the Demon Craps will be releasing their own counterpart to the FISA memo soon. Ahead of time, we offer a sneak preview of the document.

The Republican Nunes memo, issued Friday, brought to mind the creepy Rolling Stones song, Memo from Turner, featured in the 1970 movie Performance starring Mick Jagger. That’s the song with the blazing slide guitar work by Ry Cooder, and perhaps Jagger’s most sinister muggings. Here’s the song. Do not watch if you are at all bothered by male nudity, as there is some of that in this scene, in a Nicholas Roeg movie that was years ahead of its time.

Did any of you notice how your “Liberal” friends — especially the ones who are stupid, amoral and under the sway of party shills — were all over the place on Facebook and other message boards Friday calling the Nunes memo a big “nothing burger?” If it’s such a big “nothing burger,” how about President Trump gets permitted to repeat the same strategic attack in the year 2020 presidential election?
In other words, Trump can pull together agents secretly from the FBI, CIA, Department of Justice or other federal agencies to spy on your Democratic or Socialist hopefuls. And, yes, as part of that campaign, all of you Liberals who work as organizers or volunteers for those candidates will have your phones wiretapped, you will be subjected to IRS penalties, you will be harassed and belittled, and if you resist, sent to jails, preferably deep, dark prisons, say Guantanamo in Cuba. Wonder if you will all be singing the same tune then, and calling this a big “nothing burger?” More from The Truth Factory.

It turns out that millions of illegal aliens across America are fraudulently taking advantage of a tax loophole to siphon $4 billion from the Internal Revenue Service. The scheme was uncovered by a longtime tax consultant in Indiana, who spilled the beans to NBC Eyewitness News-Indiana investigative reporter Bob Segall.
The whistleblower says the device being used is the Additional Child Tax Credit, whereby illegals filing tax returns are receiving money for children living in Mexico. Segall reports that the IRS knows of the scheme and has done nothing to remedy it. Check out the results of Segall’s three-month investigation. More from WTHR-TV, Channel 13.

If you think credit card fraud is the country’s biggest scam, think again. Credit card fraud amounts to petty theft alongside Medicare and Medicaid fraud, estimated to cost the taxpayers somewhere between $60 billion and well over $100 billion a year. Even the illegal drug business takes in less than the crime of scamming the government out of health care dollars intended for the poor and the elderly.
Now, the Obama Administration is pledging to step up its efforts to fight fraud. New tools, such as strike forces and a computer system that’s modeled on technology used in the private sector, promise to stop fraud in its tracks. Will these new efforts finally put a stop to America’s biggest crime? Or will the feds – who have dedicated and rededicated themselves to stopping such fraud for more than 40 years – fail yet again? Reason.TV investigates.

U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn warns that the United States has only 2 to 5 years to get its fiscal house in order, or face the likelihood of an economic collapse marked by runaway inflation that could approach 15-18 percent annually. The Oklahoma Republican, a physician, has been given the nickname “Dr. No” because of his vocal opposition to wasteful government spending. He advocates strong entitlement reform, elimination of “waste, fraud and duplication,” and an end to pork-barrel projects, saying “both parties have equally participated in abandoning the limited role of the federal government.”
Coburn outlines his ideas in an interview with Reason.TV’s Nick Gillespie, drawing from the senator’s new book The Debt Bomb: A Bold Plan to Stop Washington from Bankrupting Our Economy. Besides the economy, Coburn also addresses legislation he put into place mandating the creation of the website USASpending.Gov.
