IMHO the late, disgraced John McCain was probably at the heart of it all. He made a great effort to have his aides bring a copy or copies of the Dossier back to the US. Lurid as the “golden showers” part of the Dossier was, the really bad part was how it, in a seemingly credible, but wholly false, way, accused PDJT of being a “Ruassian asset.” That libel was probably believed, or at least given some credence, by many House Republicans, leading to their terrible lack of support for PDJT and the retirement of many, a mass retirement that cost the GOP the House. McCain was a truly evil man and a genuine traitor to both the GOP and the country. The best thing he ever did was to die, ending his evil.
Nunes has some fight in him and we do know far more about this thing because of his efforts. I suspect this is far worse than even he thought.
The logical question you raise why did Nunes and others vote to reauthorize FISA if they thought it was corrupted?
Where were the GOP members of these committees when those who said they saw “nothing” said differently on the Sunday shows (like Schiff).
I also want someone to ask Trey Gowdy why he did not speak up strongly during the middle of all of this. He asked the right questions (as usual), but he saw more of the documents than most of congress and he said very little.
I also want him to explain his statement to Martha that the FBI did what we would have wanted them to do..... that has not aged well. What did they tell him or did they lie to him? He was very defensive of the FBI during all of this.
[I decided a long time ago that Devin Nunes is just full of sh!t. He has spent 3+ years getting on the Sunday talk shows to complain about FISA abuses ... then going to the House of Representatives on Monday morning and voting to re-authorize the FISA surveillance.]
