I agree that the piece is fairly written. Of course official govt investigative sources cannot make comment. Herridge quotes Cong. Nunes, who is no longer in charge of the House Intel committee and also quotes Sen. Grassley who does still have some investigative authority.
However, a disturbing pattern is beginning to emerge in Spygate. Tonight on Hannity Cong. Nunes said he is filing a lawsuit against Fusion GPS for actions hindering his investigations when he was committee chair. Why does he not trust DoJ to pursue possible obstruction of justice cases? Despite Prez. Trump ordering DECLAS - what? a year ago? - all released classified (and otherwise) documents have either been by Cong. committees (Repub) or via FOIA lawsuits filed by individuals or watchdog organizations - often redacted.
Nunes stopped himself on Hannity tonight almost saying that he couldn't depend on DoJ to pursue the Fusion GPS concern. He has repeatedly commented on the criminal referrals that he has sent to DoJ. Yet every time he has been asked (on FNC, of course) if he believes govt officials involved in Spygate will be held accountable he has deflected the subject in responding.
I do not want to join the naysayers who believe there will be no prosecutions, but alarm bells are sounding in my mind. I am fairly certain that Horowitz, Huber, Durham will expose DoJ/FBI wrongdoing; but, as we have seen in the McCabe and Comey reports - will there be prosecutions? Where are the FISC judges?
What a travesty that, after the Horowitz report on Comey, Comey can demand an apology... aided of course by a useless mute media. Alarm bells are sounding in my head.
I think that Nunes’ actions and what he is saying are to bring more and more public awareness to the crimes committed.
I trust what Q has said, that there were be no deals for the criminals, and that we will see justice prevail. The rot, corruption and crime are so deep, so many crimes by so many criminals, that unwinding this, exposing the crimes and bringing the criminals to justice, that the public MUST be on board. Not of course every single American, but the majority.
The more often Nunes and others go on Fox or where ever, and make statements, and drop more info, repeating the same that was heard before, this drums it into the public’s mind. Q said more than a few times that bringing the criminals to justice will not work without tearing the country apart, until the general public is made ready.
All this is making the public ready.
1. Republicans predict IG's Comey rebuke is tip of the iceberg for FBI, DOJ over anti-Trump 'biases'.
2. Republicans expressed concern over the revelations.
3, Republicans in the Senate responded to those disclosures by seeking more information on the transition briefings as well as media leaks.
Multiple repetitions of this theme certainly infer that the complaints are merely partisan sniping. In fact, they are legitimate observations.
In items 1 and 2, she could have named a couple of 'predictors' and 'expressors', then added "and others". One such very loud 'expressor' is Hannity, and he is not even a Republican. In item 3 she could have said "The Senate Intelligence Committee", not simply " Republicans". These changes would be quite accurate, and give much more weight to the charges, in my opinion.
