DEEP STATE OUT OF CONTROL!
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) joined Laura Ingraham tonight on her launch of The Ingraham Angle on FOX News.
Rep. Nunes told Laura Ingraham that James Comey and possibly the ENTIRE FBI brass was lying to Congress about who was funding the anti-Trump dossier.
Rep. Devin Nunes: If people really believe that the FBI who paid for that dossier I’ve got a bridge to sell you. THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY that the FBI did not know who paid for that dossier.
Laura Ingraham: So who’s lying at the FBI?

This Congressman deserves much credit for keeping the Uranium One and Dossier investigations alive.. if he hadn’t signed the subpoena to get the GPS Fusion bank records the momentum would have died.. this is when the swamp suddenly realized those records could indict a lot of people and Mueller suddenly got in gear with the “distraction” indictment on Manafort. Mueller is such a dirty cop.. Nunes was really aggressive sounding tonight.. this man wants to nail the hell out of the Clintons, Podesta, Mueller, Comey, etc.. you could just hear it in his voice!
May it be so.
Mueller's job is to hide, discredit, destroy as much evidence as he can to hide the DEMONRAT crimes.
President Trump has his sights on Hussein Obama. None of the Uranium ONE deal could have happened without Hussein's active and energetic support for the biggest anti American scam.
The press will cover it when they realize that Hussein AND Hillary are both going down.
Repeating....
Shut this damned stuff down!! They are trying to overthrow our government and take it over... this is not an equal playing field... obama’s and alinsky’s fingerprints are all over this attempt to take the power from the people and rule us by decree. They have the intel, the justice depts and they need the Presidency back in their hands.
This is not government as usual.. it’s a left/progressive/global coup.
Let me know when Nunes starts publicly DEMANDING Speaker Ryan sign Open Warrants so the committee Chairman can Hold these recalcitrant witnesses in JAIL FOR CONTEMPT when they refuse to answer completely and truthfully.
“U.S. CODE
TITLE 2—THE CONGRESS
CHAPTER 6—CONGRESSIONAL AND COMMITTEE PROCEDURE; INVESTIGATIONS
Sec. 193. Privilege of witnesses
No witness is privileged to refuse to testify to any fact, or to produce any paper, respecting which he shall be examined by either House of Congress, or by any joint committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or by any committee of either House, upon the ground that his testimony to such fact or his production of such paper may tend to disgrace him or otherwise render him infamous.”
Simply look up Hinds Precedents, especially chapters 53 and 51, and Cannon’s Precedents, especially chapters 184-185. You’ll find numerous detailed cases of Congress asserting its power, arresting people, holding them until they agreed to answer questions, and then releasing them. Some of these people did not refuse to appear, but simply failed to satisfactorily answer questions. One has to wonder how a previous Congress might have responded to Alberto Gonzales’s endless recitations of “I do not recall.”
Congress can Remove the President
Congress can remove the head of every executive agency Congress can remove ALL of their employees
Congress can Abolish every agency they so choose
Congress can remove EVERY JUDGE IN AMERICA, including every supreme court justice.
Congress can abolish every federal court except the supreme Court
Congress can decide which cases the Judicial Branch can hear and decide
CONGRESS can Imprison ANYONE they want for any reason they so desire for as long as they wish.
Congress can declare WAR
No other governing body has even 10% of the power CONGRESS has!!
CONGRESS IS ALLOWING ALL OF IT!!!
Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)
If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.
Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.
Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.
Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

In 1857, a New York Times reporter refused to say which members of Congress had asked him to get them bribes (protecting his “sources” just as various Judith Millers today protect the people who feed them proven lies that costs thousands of lives), so Congress locked him up until he answered and then banned him from Congress.
In 1924 an oil executive appeared but refused to answer certain questions, so the Senate held — literally held — him in contempt. Senator Thomas Walsh of Montana argued that this question of contempt was of the gravest importance, and that it involved “the very life of the effective existence of the House of Representatives of the United States and of the Senate of the United States.” The matter was taken to court, and the witness fined and imprisoned.
No, Mueller isn't a dirty cop. He's just a run of the mill democRAT operative. He is protecting them, as much as himself, since he's neck deep in this mess with Uranium One. His loyalty is not to the public, it is to the uniparty establishment and himself.
Way past time to clean house at the FBI and CIA.
So who is the FBI serving now? It isn’t OUR nation. I think we are in the throes of a rolling coup, aided and abetted by useful idiots.
Wow - does anyone have a link to the entire segment?
Devin Nunes deserves a helluva lot of credit for independently pursuing what the media and his fellow members of Congress - in both houses - refused to take on. I know for a fact, from first-hand knowledge, that Nunes learned of the unmasking of hundreds of American citizens and began to look into it as far back as March.
The “dossier” issue involving Fusion GPS, the DNC and the Clinton campaign notwithstanding, it is the unmasking of American citizens (including members of Congress, Supreme Court Justices, etc.), the FISA warrants and the details of the FISA affidavit(s) - which are submitted to FISA judges, that are the biggest story in this entire spectacle and they pre-date the presidential campaign - by a LOT. The term “weaponized” has been grossly overused of late, but that is precisely what the Obama administration did with the Intelligence Community (of which the FBI is a part) and used the IC against Obama’s political opponents, just like the Clinton administration did, albeit on a smaller scale.
Remember the case of the Martins magically intercepting a Newt Gingrich cell phone conversation? They did not just roll up on Gingrich’s cell phone with hardware purchased from Radio Shack. Neither did the Obama administration somehow gain the complicity of the Republican congressional leaders and Chief Justice Roberts without having any “leverage”...
Trump pissed them off for crashing the party, but it is pretty obvious he wasn't involved with trying to rig the election - probably just because he was new at the game and didn't have the ruthless and cunning strategies that the Clintons have perfected.
Where it seems to be on the verge of bringing the whole house of cards down is that so many people are deeply involved in beltway corruption and criminality if they open a grand jury to look at the Clinton Crime syndicate and just one person promises to tell all for immunity, the landslide of others joining in could jail half the establishment.
It's no stretch to thing that everyone in DC who is not vulnerable to prosecution knows someone who is.
FBI = Fibbing beyond imagination
Well, that little clip was a waste of time. Nunes could not talk for Ingraham interrupting him. It is amazing. Nunes has the knowledge and he is the one I want to listen to at that point in time, but he couldn’t talk because of the interruptions.
I don’t know how anyone can trust anything the FBI does.
This was the best interview of the night last night on TV, Kelly included. Devin Nunes is a very courageous man for calling out the entire DoJ in such striking terms, may The Lord keep and protect him during these dangerous times.
I wonder if he'd be interested in becoming Attorney General or Director of the FBI?
Yes, it’s that widespread.
When John McCain passed the “Trump Dossier” to FBI director James Comey what did Comey say? “I know all about this, I helped pay for it?”
