Exclusive — Lee Smith’s Deep State Book Excerpt: Inside ‘Objective Medusa,’ Devin Nunes’ Historic Investigation into Spygate Scandal
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
In mid-March 2017, California congressman Devin Nunes, then Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), found out the FBI had obtained a warrant to spy on Donald Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. And they’d used the Steele dossier, opposition research paid for by the Clinton campaign, as evidence.
Medusa, what an appropriate name. So many heads to cut off.
“Instead, Comey just accepted CrowdStrike’s assessment,” says Patel. “Some random outside company that happened to be retained by Perkins Coie, the Clinton campaign’s lawyers. I never worked a case involving cyber where the FBI said, ‘Let’s not use our own people on this one.’ ”
Patel explains that as a public defender he learned that documents are the key to taking on DOJ. “You have much fewer resources as a public defender. Witness testimony is great but if we can get the government’s own evidence to show X, Y, and Z, then you’ve got them.”
So there are a few honest lawyers in the DOJ. Shocking.
BTW, I pre-ordered a hard copy version of the book. 8>)
Trivia: In the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Lee Smith was pitching in the Cubs game that Ferris went to.
