Nunes calls for House probe of 42 Obama-era anti-Trump activists
The Washington Times ^ | Saturday, July 7, 2018 | Rowan Scarborough

Rep. Devin Nunes is referring 42 Obama administration officials, FBI agents and outside political activists to a House task force for as investigation into how the Obama Justice Department targeted the Donald Trump campaign.

If the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and Judiciary Committee agree, their task force would conduct the most extensive probe to date on anti-Trump government operations in 2016.

Mr. Nunes, Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, has sent letters to Oversight head Trey Gowdy of South Carolina and Judiciary’s Bob Goodlatte of Virginia.

The California Republican is asking his fellow GOP legislators to summon for public testimony all 42 — a cast of FBI, Justice Department and State Department officials and outside anti-Trump people with whom they communicated.

Last year, amid a probe into Russian election interference, Mr. Nunes veered from the Trump collusion narrative. His new inquiry was sparked by indications that a piece of evidence driving the FBI probe — the Democratic Party-financed dossier — was unverified and at worst a hoax.

Former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, who was paid by Democrats to write the dossier and who told a Justice official he was “desperate” to destroy the Trump candidacy, is not one of the Nunes 42.

Last winter, Mr. Nunes released a declassified memo that showed the FBI relied greatly on the dossier to convince a judge to approve a series of wiretaps on Trump volunteer Carter Page.

Through subpoenas, Mr. Nunes also forced Democrats to acknowledge that the dossier was financed by the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign. He says the FBI abused the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) by using opposition research on one party to spy on the other––in this case the Trump team...

"..The Brits have gone over the cliff and their muslim invasion will wipe out any last remaining vestiges of what they once were. They will need us to save their asses a 3rd time, but this time after this meddling, it is very unlikely to happen......they’re dead men walking. Their children and grandchildren, if any survive, will all be speaking arabic.."

It's a scary thought. All the Muzzy's hafta do is overrun the country, which it seems they're currently doing with some success, then read the owner's manual on which buttons to push and voila!. Ready-made nuke-capable crazy islamics.

What could possibly go wrong?!? d;^)

As for Mueller, I think he is digging his own grave. The scope of the abominations is truly mind boggling. Think about how long it takes to get a single high-profile case to court and how much money is spent. Multiply that by the thousands and the time? Well, I am NOT patient, but I’m trying to learn.

If the House cannot even arrest Lisa Page when Subpoenaed to testify (Lisa Page Tells Congress What They Can Do With Their Subpoena), WHY START YET MORE INVESTIGATIONS???

What happened to Erik Holder under his contempt charge? NOTHING.
