If there are five “phases” to Nunes’ investigation, I suspect that the final phase ends up in the White House.
1. FBI/DOJ
2. State
3. CIA
4. ?
5. NSC/DNI/POTUS
If this is like the phases for Underpants Gnomes, the missing phase is easy to establish:
1. FBI/DOJ
2. State
3. CIA
4. PROFIT!
5. NSC/DNI/POTUS
Consider that those might not be phases, but instead might be targets.
When I think of “phases”, I think of something more like this:
1. Identify targets.
2. Get their testimony/statements
3. Compare with actual facts.
4. Prepare indictments.
5. Arrest and try for crimes.
or something like that.
