Former House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes appeared for an interview with Grant Stinchfield and walks through the timeline of the Russiagate hoax.
Within the interview, Devin Nunes makes a solid argument that the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago was due to their belief President Trump had the only copy of the HPSCI report, outside IC control; the outcome of a two-year investigation into how John Brennan and the CIA manipulated the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA).
It is important to remember that even though Representative Nunes knew the HPSCI investigators were looking at the construct of the ICA, no one -not even Devin Nunes- had ever seen the finished report as assembled in 2020. Despite efforts by Donald Trump to declassify the HPSCI report before leaving office, the CIA never released it. No one except the internal Intelligence Community (CIA/DNI) had seen the HPSCI report until Tulsi Gabbard released it on July 22nd. This is a key point, because the HPSCI report touches on all of the other declassified evidence recently released.
The authors of the HPSCI report had reviewed all of the same information John Durham reviewed. The HPSCI report walks through the entire construct of the Intelligence Community Assessment ordered by President Obama on December 6, 2016.
Arguably, because of the underlying evidence reviewed to produce it, the HPSCI report is the most critical of the declassified release in the last few months. The HPSCI report walks through the timeline as the ICA was created between early to late December 2016.
It was this manipulated ICA that underpinned the January 5, 2017 briefing with President Obama documented in the Susan Rice “by the book” memo. This manipulated ICA was then used to brief President-elect Trump the next day, January 6, 2017. The two-year HPSCI investigation and final report destroys the construct of the ICA as a propaganda tool of a weaponized intelligence product.
Knowing only the CIA, DNI and likely bad elements of the FBI had seen the HPSCI report, it makes sense this was what the FBI was seeking during the raid on Mar-a-Lago. The Intelligence Community during the Biden administration wanted to maintain the ICA ruse, and that required keeping the HPSCI report hidden.
The FBI knew Trump had declassified it, but they didn’t know if he held a physical copy of it when he left office in 2021
...
This predicate could also explain reports of the DOJ considering Florida as the venue for a grand jury. There is a possibility Main Justice is evaluating whether the Mar-a-Lago raid, in context with this declassified report and the FBI retrieval for it, may extend the venue options for criminal charge exploration into Florida as the place with the last act within a conspiracy.
It’s a little bit of a Lawfare-stretch to turn away from the 95% activity, that took place in DC, and use the 5% that took place in Florida to create a legal venue outside the DC defense walls. But, with the right legal arguments, it could be possible.
If you read the 46-page report, you understand why the FBI and CIA wanted to keep it hidden.

President Trump is always a few steps ahead of them. He has played this game all along and is timing it out to act when he sees the best opportunity.
The democrats are scared to death at the moment.
If Trump did have evidence at Mara-Lago of Obama and Brennan fabricating Russia Gate, he would have used it long before the Panty Raid at Mara-Lago.
If there is hard proof of this then a lot of people are going to be in a lot of trouble.
The Chris Wray, Merrick Garland and Jack Smith hit on Mar-a-Lago is going to the biggest mistake the Democrats have made in a very long time
Most of us on FR knew this was the real reason.
Makes you wonder how many in the GOP leadership realized it.
I always suspected the reason was to retrieve documents like those.
Not at all.
1. If it was at Mar-a-Lago, it had been moved there AFTER Trump left the White House in January 2021.
2. He had previously declassified the documents.
3. But President Autopen "reclassified" all those documents as soon as it was activated by Biden's staff.
This will be in judicial system for years. Hope the Republicans can stay in power otherwise the Democrats will shut everything down.
These DIM sociopaths weave quite the web. Hopefully Justice will soon find them. Their experiencing the harshest sentences law allows will be good for the USA.
All these $%^&*(*&^ acronyms. What does HPSCI mean?
I disagree, he’s in a much better position to deal with them now.
GOP leadership = RINOs
My first thought when I heard about the raid was that Trump might have some damning evidence about the Obama nuclear deal with Iran that would prove to be treasonous.
House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence = first sentance
“Sundance” at Conservative Treehouse said as much a couple years ago.
The BS about Trump having “nuclear codes” at Mar-A-Lago was really an attempt to recover incriminating documents.
House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
Did this really happen? Because if it did, it would be all over the media....
“It’s a little bit of a Lawfare-stretch to turn away from the 95% activity, that took place in DC, and use the 5% that took place in Florida to create a legal venue outside the DC defense walls.”
Absolutely not. When in high profile state cases, it’s routine to have a change in venue because of local media publicity. Here, we have to contend with a DC jury pool for GJ that is randomly selected in a jurisdiction that 95% Democrat. The GJ selection of jurors is not even subjected to the same type of rigorous selection as a regular trial jury. Worse yet, it’s DC federal judges like Bozoberg that have oversight here.
It’s inarguable that these crimes were committed against the nation so some semblance of national sentiment and will is necessary; not the will of a locale that would gladly overlook any Democrat crimes as an expedient to continued Democrat domination.
bttt
Those FBI raiders should now be hung for being traitors
