House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes exclusively told Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures" that he is preparing to send eight criminal referrals to the Department of Justice this week concerning alleged misconduct from "Watergate wannabes" during the Trump-Russia investigation, including the leaks of "highly classified material" and conspiracies to lie to Congress and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court.
The dramatic step comes as Republicans have pushed for the release of key documents to uncover the origins of the now-discredited narrative that the Trump campaign colluded improperly with the Russian government. President Trump recently told Fox News he would release the entirety of the FISA applications used to surveil one of his top aides, and other related documents.
Nunes said he has been working on the referrals for more than two years, and wanted to wait until the confirmation of Attorney General Bill Barr.
"We're prepared this week to notify the attorney general that we're prepared to send those referrals over," Nunes said. "First of all, all of these are classified or sensitive. ... Five of them are what I would call straight up referrals -- so just referrals that name someone and name the specific crimes," Nunes told Maria Bartiromo. "Those crimes are lying to Congress, misleading Congress, leaking classified information. So five of them are those types."
It was not immediately clear whom Nunes would specifically refer. Both Democrats and Republicans have said former Trump fixer Michael Cohen is likely to face new charges of lying to Congress in the wake of his recent explosive testimony, which seemed to contradict his previous statements on a variety of matters, including whether he had sought a job in the Trump White House.

The DOJ will promptly ignore.
Why do you think they can just ignore the referrals?
You think?
I hope there’s a criminal referral brought against Adam Schiff.
There have already been referrals, have you seen any arrests?
Why do you think they can just ignore the referrals?

Rod Rosenstein is still in his job. That doesn’t inspire much confidence in Barr or the DOJ.
IG...I believe they are on going.
I don’t think the DOJ has to do anything. A referral is just, hey look at this.
Rosenstein is a white hat.
Wake me when the perp-walks start, especially those from the DOJ.
Rosenstein is a white hat.

Yes, for the other side he is.
All we need is one to turn and dozens will fall like Dominoes.
There is in-between room too, like pretending to give reasoned deliberation, but the outcome is actually decided based on "real justice," where the powerful are held to their own standard. "Professional courtesy."
I guarantee you that the DOJ will not ignore these referrals because they will be blessed by President Trump.
Now that mulehead has shot his wad President Trump is going to bring WRATH ON THESE BASTARDS.
If Barr doesn't hop to, his ass will be gone after bring put through the Trump Wringer.
Or simply slow walked until Trump is out of office, them assuming in less than 2 years.
Yep. Schiffless needs a long government paid vacation.
Trump had to let the Mueller fiasco play out, now it is his turn.
Rosenstein is a weasel that thought the Deep State was the winning side...until he realized it wasn’t.
So, for now, he’s “our weasel”. Until he’s indicted...or sings like a bird.
OK, I’m out of animal references for now.
