Devin Nunes is now threatening to subpoena the DOJ and the FBI over documents that would show why an investigation was begun into Trump campaign figures over alleged Russian collusion.
Watch the Fox News report below:
Here’s more from Fox News:
The Republican chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Devin Nunes, wrote that he has been denied a clean copy of the 2016 FBI memo that kick-started the Russia counterintelligence investigation — now known as the special counsel’s Russia probe.
“On March 14th, 2018, Committee investigators were given access to a still heavily redacted version of the EC (FBI memo known as an electronic communication), which — as I informed Director Wray the next day via phone — was unsatisfactory,” Nunes, R-Calif., wrote.
“On March 23, 2018, FBI’s Assistant Director for Legislative Affairs informed the Committee that FBI would refuse to further unredact the EC (FBI memo) based on its sensitivity. The document in question is not highly classified, and law enforcement sources have apparently not been shy about leaking to the press information that the Department and Bureau refuse to share with Congress.”
Fox News is told the FBI memo was likely drafted by, or with input from, Agent Peter Strzok in July 2016, when the bureau formally opened its counterintelligence investigation. Strzok was removed from the investigation last year by Special Counsel Robert Mueller after anti-Trump texts between Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page were discovered.
There’s a lot of people who think there is evidence of corruption here, but I really have to wonder that IF the FBI and the DOJ were colluding to frame Trump and members of his campaign, why didn’t they say he was under investigation during the campaign? That woulda done it right? Instead, they revealed the investigation into Hillary, tossing more gas on her campaign dumpster fire. In any case, if they find anything, I’m sure Hannity will scream about it to the heavens above…
