Nunes: FBI Should Have Opened Investigation of Clinton Campaign When It Received Dossier
foxnews.com ^ | 2/6/2018 | ADMIN

Posted on 02/06/2018 6:35:28 PM PST by bitt

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes said the FBI should have opened a counterintelligence investigation of Hillary Clinton's campaign in 2016.

On "Hannity," Nunes discussed Republicans' controversial memo alleging surveillance abuses by the FBI, explaining the "clear link to Russia" which led to a FISA warrant to surveil Carter Page.

He said the Clinton campaign hired a law firm, which hired Fusion GPS, which then hired "foreign agent" Christoper Steele to dig up dirt via Russians on Donald Trump. The resulting dossier was then used to obtain the surveillance warrant.

"It seems like the counterintelligence investigation should have been opened up against the Hillary Clinton campaign when they got a hold of the dossier," said Nunes.

Earlier in the day, Nunes claimed there have been nearly "100 leaks" to the media by Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee related to the Russia investigation.

At the time, Trump initiated the procedures recommended by Rogers @ NSA as was also promised to the FISC; as I recall all agencies were to report back in 90 days and it’s been about 45/60 since that directive was issued.

With respect to expanding pre-existing violations, I think we can conclude with a high degree of confidence that Trump is using DoD capabilities as a parallel construct to circumvent existing DOJ/FBI/CIA operations.

Many have speculated what a second civil war would look like. Would it be regional? Would it be urban vs rural? Would be it blue vs red states? Well, I think we now know exactly how it's going down: it's the (conservative) military vs (proglib) federal law enforcement.

To once again bore everyone to tears, Trump holds all the cards. A clear and present danger to national security posed by an eminent threat of coordinated domestic insurrection is literally his 'trump' card.

The expose of the long train of abuses, corruption and conspiracies to thwart a presidential election, and then unlawfully attempt to overthrow the legally constituted government, is being played out for the audience of officer corp sitting in attendance.

They have to be certain a valid threat posed by combined domestic enemy forces requires a response necessary to restore order and the rule of law.

Check me if I’m wrong but I believe investigation such this must start at DOJ. I know no criminal case goes forward without DOJ approval.

Nunes saw the intelligence reports as well as the Presidential Daily Briefs...all roads lead to Hussein Obama.

Sessions should unrecuse:

1) No evidence of Russian collusion with Trump, and Mueller is not pursuing it. Obstruction, which is a farce, is entirely different.
2) Dossier is complete lies, source lied to the FBI
3) Sessions was falsely accused of lying.

“Nunes saw the intelligence reports as well as the Presidential Daily Briefs”

~~~~~
did I already ask you this-— how do we know Nunes saw the PDBs?

If he did, and saw that Ohamma and 20-30 cronies were briefed every day on the faux collusion, wouldn’t that be a huge fact to break??

Supposedly Shiites and Sunnis hate each other, too, but they can sure get together to kill Christians and Jews when it suits them.

Exactly. Hillary’s team handed the FBI proof they themselves were colluding with Russian Spies, you would think that would have surprised them.

I agree, Trump is in peril, If we will not level charges at the entire Obamma team we are done and our country is lost, this is not a different way of looking at our country, it is a violent takeover, Obamma took trillions for infrastructure and nothing was done, money gone, every thing they do is aimed at over running our country..It will take war if the law cannot be applied sadly..

I think Wray tried to cover up the corruption at the FBI out of loyalty to the organization. Now that he sees it’s all going to blow up no matter what he tries, he’s no longer going to stand in the way of exposing it. He’s not going to do it himself, but he will no longer be obstructing the investigations.
