Wa Examiner: House Intelligence Committee Republicans are “laser-focused” on investigating information the CIA gave to the FBI in 2016, according to ranking member Devin Nunes.
For the first time, the California congressman described in great detail the next steps of a broad congressional inquiry into possible misconduct during the Russia investigation, which he said includes scrutiny of three “dossiers” and questions about three Russian Americans. All of this follows the declassification of key documents over the past couple of weeks, including footnotes showing the FBI was warned that British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s anti-Trump dossier was likely influenced by Russian disinformation and yet continued to use it and Nunes’s pledge to send more criminal referrals to the Justice Department.
During a Fox News interview on Sunday, Nunes brought up the CIA at the end of a list of issues he and his colleagues are examining and credited the investigative work of his former Republican colleague, South Carolina’s Trey Gowdy, with providing a road map for that facet of the effort.
“In 2016, we know from great work that Trey Gowdy did at the time … that the CIA gave information over to the FBI in 2016. We now are laser-focused on that. We need to know: Exactly what did the CIA give to the FBI in 2016?” Nunes said. read more
You can run, Brennan, but you can’t hide.
So sorry for you, asshole.
I thought lasers were supposed to be fast
Remember that School House Rock video about “I’m just a Bill”? Yeah. Well, you can toss that in the burn pile. Congress is just a bunch of nit wits and parasites whose only job it seems is to run around like Keystone Kops looking for wrongdoing by all the agencies they gave their control to. If they’d been doing their jobs there wouldn’t be so many bad guys to check up on. They don’t even invoke the power of the purse anymore to shut it down.
Half of our gov’t is screwing us and the other half is doing lookout at the bedroom doors.
And if they were doing their jobs there wouldn’t be so many agencies to check up on. We all know, it’s out of control.
I sure hope Devin Nunes isn’t this years version of Issa or Gowdy. Has anyone in congress actually gotten anything done? I would be so happy to have someone in Congress do a hell of great job and then have me be able to say, Yup, I knew he/she would be great!
Yeah, right. Brennan’s probably doing shots with Durham and Barr. And slipping dollars under the dancer’s g-string.
Our system was designed for honorable men.
And now there are too few honorable men to fill even the Senate, much less the House and the Agencies.
The Stain of Corruption lies on the NSA, FBI, DOJ, and CIA and they are unable to distinguish between “duty” and “treason.” Their loyalties lie elsewhere than with “We, the People of the United States.”
The Senate has its own internal frictions – the Schumer Censure, for instance – and their collective confusion on what may be in the general interest – as opposed to their personal interests – thus they hang; suspended, inanimate, indecisive … accomplishing nothing while the nation plunges into the nihilist/totalitarian abyss.
“Gonna do sumpin RSN (Real Soon Now).” Cries the bureaucrat.
izlamo delenda est …
“laser-focused”
Euphemism for ‘our printer is making very clear PR copies’.
Laser-focus; what, like “Trey Gowdy Investigates”?
Yawn – wake me when something…anything…happens with that.
