House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes issued the following statement today:
“Having stonewalled Congress’ demands for information for nearly a year, it’s no surprise to see the FBI and DOJ issue spurious objections to allowing the American people to see information related to surveillance abuses at these agencies. The FBI is intimately familiar with ‘material omissions’ with respect to their presentations to both Congress and the courts, and they are welcome to make public, to the greatest extent possible, all the information they have on these abuses. Regardless, it’s clear that top officials used unverified information in a court document to fuel a counter-intelligence investigation during an American political campaign. Once the truth gets out, we can begin taking steps to ensure our intelligence agencies and courts are never misused like this again.”
Thanks for digging out the PR and posting.
How weird is it that there are no names/signatures on it?
I can only assume that Sessions approved....
“Rep. Gowdy’s work with the House Select Committee on Benghazi is what started the downfall of Hillary Clinton and set the stage for the election of President Trump. Gowdy got tagged with the Chair of the committee. It was his investigatory work that turned up and made public the fact that Clinton was using a private server to store her official and classified e-mails instead of the legally mandated State Department server.
Because of this discovery operatives in the FBI, CIA and NSA among others had to CY Hillary’s A. Trump was able to rightfully campaign on the issue of two-tiered justice where submariner’s go to jail and liberal elites get rich. The cover up was almost as bad as the crime. Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page all have been ensnared with the cover-up and has undermined the Mueller investigation.
Speaking of, because of Hillary’s weakness the Obama cabal had to concoct the Steele dossier which if IG Horowitz is the investigator that I think he is will provide Gowdy and Jeff Sessions, that’s right Sessions, with plenty of ammo to take a big bite out of the swamp. Gowdy’s work on Benghazi was the opening salvo in making all of this happen. He did his investigation the right way. He had dimotards like Elijah Cummings, the MSM, deep state operatives like Comey and Lynch working against him.
If he had been the director of the FBI I have no doubt that Hillary would be in jail but as a House committee chair he didn’t have that constitutional mandate. I am beginning to believe that Gowdy is scaring the bejesus out of folks and that he is why he is being attacked so aggressively. You Gowdy haters need to step back and take a deep breath. He has and folks like Jason Chavetz and others created the conditions to take down the deep state. Cut the man some slack.”
I have been really disappointed in Sessions, from his lack of indictments and blocking Judicial Watch from receiving FOIA documents. Now that Trump has kept him this long as AG, Im beginning to think that more is going on behind the scenes that what we are told. Sessions may drop a nuke bombshell in the next couple of months that will prove my original opinion of him...wrong. He may be a white hat with a set of Angus bull balls.
I lost hope in Trey Gowdy the day freshperson Stefanik actually asked Comey the central (and unexpected, apparently) questions about why he never advised Congress of the “counter”-intelligence operation against Trump.
The only person in the room who looked less comfortable than Comey...was Gowdy.
I remember that. I’d lost hope in him long before, but that Dandy appearance by him cemented it.
Rep Nunes is a fighter.
Wish we had a few hundred more like him in the House.
Thank you very much.........
Wray worked for Comey at the DoJ in ~2003-2005
Most of the press releases relate to cases, and the names of the investigators and prosecutors appear.
This release is, on its face, the FBI being political. FBI claims of being apolitical are pure bunk.
I doubt Sessions is in the approval loop for FBI press releases, or even DOJ press releases.
Wray is accountable for this one though, whether it was put out with or without his advance notice and express approval, it represents the agency that he directs.
I wonder if that's unusual...
As I was watching last night I kept thinking of my dad and how he would have loved Trump. My dad was a small business owner for over 40 years and became a Republican in 1966 when President Reagan ran against Pat Brown, (Jerry's dad).
Dad used to say that the Democrats were always trying to take his money, which he and my mom worked very hard to earn. When he died, he said that we would never have another Reagan. I wish he would have lived long enough to see Trump last night.
I hope CINC has a very special career planned for him.

... no sh*t!
I can’t find the complaint yet on the Trump Soldier thread, the one with Gowdy signing.
That Boyd DoJ Congressional interfacer is a long term Sessions minion rather than a long term DoJ insider, but over at the FBI, Sessions likely has no imbeds.
Sessions still needs to be held accountable for the opacity at the DoJ/FBI.
The FBI takes seriously its obligations to the FISA Court and its compliance with procedures overseen by career professionals in the Department of Justice and the FBI. We are committed to working with the appropriate oversight entities to ensure the continuing integrity of the FISA process. With regard to the House Intelligence Committee's memorandum, the FBI was provided a limited opportunity to review this memo the day before the committee voted to release it. As expressed during our initial review, we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo's accuracy.
Basically, "The FBI did nothing wrong in investigating the Trump campaign."
YES
Yes, directly for the DOJ. That's his. But the FBI has it's own head, and that person reports to Rosenstein.
Could well be that Wray and Rosenstein are sandbagging Sessions. That's a pretty common institutional dynamic to have a staff that is in silent rebellion.
Should that be the case, I'd suggest that he throw off the cover and start blazing away well in advance of the 2018 elections.
