Devin Nunes knows a lot more than the average person in Congress when it comes to the Russia investigation. He is an ally of Trump and he has been pushing for Trump to declassify documents related to the FISA warrants that led to investigations of the dossier and Russia.
Nunes is now warning Democrats and the media that they won’t like what they see.
From the Daily Caller:
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes said this week that Democrats and the media are likely to be “frightened” by the information contained in Trump-Russia documents that Republicans are asking President Trump to declassify.
Speaking at an event hosted by the Center for Security Policy on Thursday, Nunes said that Trump is close to declassifying portions of a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant granted against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
On July 21, the Justice Department released heavily redacted versions of four FISA warrants granted against Page from Oct. 2016 through June 2017…
Nunes, a close ally of Trump’s, noted that Democrats and media pundits claimed after the initial release of the FISAs that “the really bad stuff about the Trump campaign was buried in the redactions.”
“And I said, you know what, you might be right. We should declassify the whole thing,” Nunes said Thursday, according to The Washington Free Beacon.
Nunes asserted that Trump’s critics have backed away from that argument out of fear that the rest of the FISA application will be damaging to the FBI and the narrative that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government.
“And you know why? Because I think they’re going to be frightened by what you see,” Nunes said of Democrats and the press.
The fact that Nunes is saying this so confidently leads one to believe the declassified documents will blow a major hole in the left’s narrative about Russia.
This report from the Washington Free Beacon is very telling:
Democrats and their media allies seeking to advance a liberal political agenda corrupted the FBI and Justice Department in improperly spying on Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence said this week.
Rep. Devin Nunes (R., Calif.), the intelligence panel head who has spearheaded an investigation into corruption at the FBI, also warned in a speech that China has emerged as the most serious strategic threat facing the United States…
“The reason that the press is completely, finally, essentially come out of their shell and became who they always were is because they don’t know what to do,” he said.
“So they’ve put everything they have out on the field and this is really Nancy Pelosi’s last stand,” Nunes noted.
“The reason that they have this fight, the reason that they have Antifa, the reason that they’re protesting, the reason that they’re causing all of these riots, the reason that they’re doing things that you normally wouldn’t see in this country, the reason that they’re actually willing to corrupt the FBI and the DOJ—they’re doing it because we’re winning folks,” he said.
“We’re winning and I think we have a good chance to win this fall if we keep the faith, stay on message, and help out our colleagues.”
Why alert everyone before it’s out?
This is all right on target.
The media is desperate. They don’t have much of a secondary plan at this point and they don’t know what else to do.
People have begun to see the media for what they are, and this will only get worse for them over the next few months. That whole industry will be transformed, because no one wants to listen to a bunch of liars.
Maybe he is trying to get Trump to break through the attorney wall that seems to be around him which is strongly opposed to the declassification. The delays in declassification and his own WH legal staff opposition as well as the DOJ is making this process excruciating.
Kevy,show me the beef
Trump will declassify at the appropriate time. There are several threads methodically twining into a rope. When the rope is ready it will be tied into a noose.
I would make one friendly suggestion to Trump...
The entire U.S. legal system opposes you. The ENTIRE system. It is the very nerve center of the Deep State.
I would suggest that you not look to “the lawyers” - all members of the U.S. legal system for an answer to the coup that the legal system is staging against you. Just a thought.
The Left has frantically and desperately done everything it can to distract and cover up the Obama administration’s collusion and corruption. What this tells us is that there’s a lot of seriously damning information inside those FISA docs.
This could be a game changer.
They've been running the secondary plan since the night PDJT was elected.
“House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes said this week that Democrats and the media are likely to be “frightened” by the information contained in Trump-Russia documents...”
Don’t have to be frightened of anything as long as Mueller/Rosenfeinstein are running the legal system..in the abscence of an AG.
You may be right, but there’s an element of risk in delaying the release of the FISA documents. Make no mistake about it, the cabal is still active and determined to remove him.
They wield a lot of power and have massive resources at their disposal and will stop at nothing in their ongoing efforts to damage and undermine Trump. These are viscous, determined, and conniving people.
The Left likely has cooked up a bunch of attacks and distractions, including an October surprise. I think its advisable for Trump to get on with declassifying the FISA docs and do it in an incremental fashion. The drip, drip, drip will put the Left on defense, which is where you want them.
Democrats and the media are likely to be “frightened” by the information.
Exposed guilty and gone good deal.
The release of the FISA docs will take care of Rosenstein. He’ll be toast once his role becomes public knowledge.
Nunez earned this moment.
He was, after Trump, the very first ally to be slandered, bastardized and rig rolled by the Left and the snake media, forced to recuse himself from his chairmanship and bashed religiously by the pompous lying Ranking Member, ADAM F. SCHIFF. Nunez could not say a word to defend himself, for his trip to the White House with classified information he got out of the FBI, and which really set in motion the realization of the political corruption going on over there.
He’s waited a long time to get to hit back.
Yes, I think it's good... as time goes on the MSM is loosing more and more support as their ‘fake news’ lies get exposed. Even non-connected things like the weatherman leaning into the nonexistent wind is starting to have an effect on the general public trust.
Time will make any MSM response (excuse?) to the declassification weaker. I bet a week or two before the November elections will be good. :^)
Release it!!
Please. If the Democrats and the media don’t like what they see when the unredacted FISA is released, they simply won’t report on it in the news.
More like 4 torpedoes into the side of their ship!
They are scared sheiteless. Trump must declassify all the stuff. They never expected Hillary to lose and their takeover of the USA to fail.
