House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes on Thursday defended his telling President Trump about new surveillance findings of Trump campaign members. He said he was only acting on an obligation to the commander in chief. I would be concerned if I was the president and that's why I wanted him to know and I felt like I had a duty and obligation to tell him because as you know, he's taking a lot of heat in the news media and I think to some degree there are some things he should look at to see whether in fact, he thinks the collection was proper or not, Nunes told Fox News host Sean Hannity in a pre-taped interview set to air late Thursday. On Wednesday, Nunes traveled to the White House and informed Trump that his committee had found evidence that the identities of several campaign staffers had been unmasked and published in intelligence reports. The California Republican said the dissemination of those federal agency's findings were pretty far and wide. In addition, Trump's personal communications may have been documented in those findings, which Nunes would not rule out on Thursday.

Now that Donald Trump has sewn up the Republican nomination, never-Trump conservatives are talking seriously about third-party candidates. Smart conservatives — people I respect — are talking about Gary Johnson, the attractively libertarian but disastrously isolationist ex-governor of New Mexico. Some have already pulled the trigger, so to speak, and started hosting fundraising brunches for him. Other smart conservatives (including National Review’s own Reihan Salam) suggest Mitt Romney. Still others, including a few who threaten to vote for Hillary, hope New York City’s moderate-leftist ex-mayor Michael Bloomberg will run. What would their chances be? #ad#If Bloomberg runs, Trump will be elected. Bloomberg would pick off a few angry Republicans, but as a gun-, smoke-, and soda-banning big-government guy, he would have more support among blue-dog Democrats than among never-Trump Republicans. He would probably tip Florida, Ohio, and Virginia to Trump, which would put Trump at least two Electoral College votes over the threshold of 270. This is the logic that persuaded Bloomberg to announce last month that he would not run third-party. But he might reconsider; he’s very ambitious, and he endeared himself to the Right this week by attacking coddled undergraduates and their safe spaces. If he does run, it’s vanishingly unlikely that he’d win so much as a single electoral vote. RELATED: After Trump, Conservatives Must Continue to Explore Their Options Likewise Gary Johnson. Johnson will definitely run, and will certainly have at least a small-scale reverse-Bloomberg effect: He’ll peel off a few classically liberal liberals but many more small-government conservatives. He won’t win an electoral vote either — even if, per a few grandiose predictions, he clears 10 percent of the popular vote. But he might hand Hillary the White House. #share#Then there’s Mitt Romney. Mitt would win electoral votes — six of them, in Utah, where he won 73 percent of the vote in 2012 (his best state), and where Trump won just 14 percent of the primary vote, finishing behind both Cruz and Kasich. Nationwide, he would attract substantially more support than Gary Johnson, inevitably giving Hillary an enormous electoral landslide. Unless – – Mitt were to run only in Utah. If Hillary wins Virginia, Ohio, or Florida, it’s all over; she has a majority. But if Trump carries all three, Utah’s six electoral votes would be the difference between a Trump majority of 272, and a Trump–Hillary tie of 266 each. (Assuming, as I do, that Colorado will go Hillary.) When no one has a majority in the Electoral College, the House of Representatives takes over. Each state delegation gets one vote; currently, the Democrats have a majority of members in 15 delegations, 32 are Republican- majority, and the remaining three are tied. If the House decides the election, Hillary will have no chance. If the House decides the election, Hillary will have no chance. So Utah and the Democratic delegations would vote Romney in preference to Trump, along — presumably — with the three tied delegations, which would be forced to compromise. That would give Trump a 31 to 19 lead. Could Romney win over enough Republican representatives to pick up seven more delegations? It’s possible. Romney could swing eight Republican-majority delegations by changing the mind of a single member of each. In four more, changing the mind of one member would split the delegation in half, between Republicans and Democrats plus Romney-Republicans. Several of those states were strongly anti-Trump in the primaries, and several will have voted for Hillary, so reasonable cases could be made. RELATED: A Third Party Option Is Culturally Critical For those unwilling to pin their hopes on so many long shots paying off, there’s another option — total chaos. If Romney and Bernie Sanders were both to enter the race as third-party candidates, every single state would be in play. #related#Would it be hard to get Sanders into the race as a third-party candidate? I doubt it. This is his big year — and with Romney in the race too, he would have a slight chance of actually winning. If he did get in, he and Hillary would split the vote in reliably Democratic states, opening the door for Trump or Romney. In reliably Republican states, Trump and Romney would split the rightist vote, opening the door for Bernie or Hillary. It would be a battle royal; like the previous scenario, it would likely end with a vote in the House. (Which would choose from the top three electoral-vote-getters.) Of course, there’s one last option: learning to love Trump. Decide for yourself what’s most realistic. — Josh Gelernter writes weekly for NRO and is a regular contributor to The Weekly Standard.

Former UN Ambassador John Bolton, who sees foreign affairs with steely-eyed reality glasses, told radio host Mark Levin that conservatives who are suddenly embracing Russia's Vladimir Putin as an ally are making a big mistake, commenting that Putin is only concerned about his national interests, and they often conflict with American interests. Levin began by asking, “Don’t you find this affection for Putin among many conservatives as bizarre?”  Bolton replied:

By now it’s clear: even fellow Republican candidates Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham have piled on, the mainstream media is in an uproar, the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is demanding he drop out of the race, and the only people who agree with Ben Carson’s statements about a Muslim president, Sharia, and the Constitution are racist, bigoted Islamophobes.“I do not believe Sharia is consistent with the Constitution of this country,” said Carson, and hatemongers everywhere applauded.The Islamophobes even piled on with hateful statements of their own:Let’s face the grim truth ... There is no evidence whatever that Islam in its various political forms is compatible with modern democracy. From Afghanistan under the Taliban to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, and from Iran to Sudan, there is no Islamist entity that can be said to be democratic, just, or a practitioner of good governance.Oh, the Islamophobia! Ibrahim Hooper and Nihad Awad of CAIR are no doubt gearing up for another press conference to denounce that one, but they’re coming so thick and fast that those guardians of the Constitution may not be able to keep up.Here’s another:The first basic difference between the political system endorsed by Islam and democracy is that in democracy, the ultimate authority lies with the people. In Islam, however, the ultimate authority doesn’t belong to people; it belongs to God alone. That means that both the ruler and the ruled in Islam are subject to a higher criterion for decision-making, that is, divine guidance.That would mean that the Constitution would have to give way to Sharia wherever the two conflict, as another Islamophobe makes clear when he says:Democracy runs counter to Islam on several issues. ... In democracy, legislation is the prerogative of the people. It is the people who draw up the constitution, and they have the authority to amend it as well. On this issue we differ.Supposedly, in Islamic thought only Allah legislates. There is no shortage of Islamophobes who spew this hate.Another howled that in Islam, “democracy, freedom, and human rights have no place.”Still another yelped that in Islam, “democracy is evil, the parliament is evil and legislation is evil.”One Islamophobe went Carson one better, saying not only that a Muslim should not be president, but that Muslims shouldn’t even participate in elections. He had the audacity to claim that “electing a president or another form of leadership or council members is prohibited in Islam.”These Islamophobes have even tried to convince people that because Islam is a “comprehensive system of governance,” many Muslims reject democracy as “a system whereby man violates the right of Allah and decides what is permissible or impermissible for mankind, based solely on their whims and desires.”One complained that some Muslims even assert that they can only participate in politics in Western societies “on Islam’s terms.”These must be the kind of Islamophobic statements Carson was reading when he formulated his hateful, bigoted opinions. Shameful.So who said the awful statements above? Pamela Geller? Geert Wilders? Some other hatemongering profiteer whom all decent people must shun?Oh.In order, the authors of the Islamophobic statements I quote above are:Hisham Melhem, the Washington bureau chief of Al-Arabiya,Renowned moderate Muslim and Islamic apologist Jamal Badawi,Syrian Islamic scholar Abd Al-Karim Bakkar,The leader of Iran’s Shia Taliban, Mesbah Yazdi,Australian Muslim cleric Ibrahim Siddiq-Conlon,Saudi Islamic scholar, Sheikh Abdul Rahman bin Nassir Al Barrak,A Muslim group in Wales that plastered Cardiff with posters denouncing democracy and exhorting Muslims not to vote, andA Muslim group in Denmark that likewise urged Muslims to boycott elections.Carson’s detractors would no doubt dismiss all these Muslims as “extremists.” All they have to do to make their case, after all, is point to all the thriving Constitutional republics that have Muslim majorities and guarantee freedom of speech, equal rights for women and non-Muslims, and other aspects of traditional Islamic law that Islamophobes claim contradict the Constitution.Hmm.In reality, there is not a single country to which they can point. There is no democratic tradition in the Islamic world. There is no history of secular republics, no concept of the equality of all people before the law.People often invoke Turkey as an example of how Islam and democracy are fully compatible. In reality, the secular Turkish republic was established in an atmosphere of war with Islam, with explicit restrictions placed upon political Islam that were considered necessary so as to rein in its authoritarian, supremacist, anti-democratic tendencies. Now, the Erdogan regime is reasserting Islam’s political aspects. Turkish secularism has been severely weakened, and may not be long for this world.The absence of Constitutional republics in the Islamic world is no accident. It comes from: Islam’s sharp dichotomy between believers and unbelievers, retarding the development of the principle of equality of rights for all; its blasphemy laws, which hinder the freedom of speech and intellectual development; and its vision of Allah as a solitary and all-powerful despot whose will is absolute -- hardly an ideal model upon which to build the idea of parliamentary give-and-take in order to discover the truth or determine the best path.In Islam, Allah alone reveals the truth and marks out the straight path: Islam.“We are a different kind of nation,” Ben Carson said as the controversy raged over his remarks. “Part of why we rose so quickly is because we wouldn’t allow our values or principles to be supplanted because we were going to be politically correct. … Part of the problem today is that we’re so busy trying to be politically correct, that we lose all perspective.”Indeed. Lost in the Carson firestorm is the question of whether or not he was right about Islam and Sharia. He was.Whatever becomes of his presidential ambitions, Americans owe him a debt of gratitude for, even for a brief period, breaking through the media fog of obfuscation about Islam and allowing for some honest discussion of these all-important matters. Even as he stands on the firing line, that may be the most valuable service this good man performs for his country.Ben Carson Backpedals on Muslim Remarks
