HOUSE INTEL CHAIRMAN CLAIMS DEMS “COLLUDING DIRECTLY WITH RUSSIANSâ€On this week’s “Sunday Morning Futures†(10:00 a.m. Fox News Channel), Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA22) told host Maria Bartiromo that although Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee, which he will chair until early January when political leadership changes, have completed their investigation of alleged Russia “collusion†on the part of the Trump campaign, they continue to seek declassification of “four buckets†of information gathered from their nearly-two-year probe.
“The president has called for three of those four to be declassified,†Nunes told Bartiromo.
The committee investigated the conduct of the FBI and its parent agency, the U.S. Justice Department, in the FBI’s opening of a counterintelligence operation into the Trump campaign for alleged “collusion†with the Kremlin. Nunes has previously said that no actual “intelligence†exists to form the basis of such a probe and closed the committee’s probe in March.
As he has previously, Nunes insisted that the Intelligence Committee found “no evidence†that anyone in the Trump campaign coordinated with Russian operatives to win the 2016 election against Democrat Hillary Clinton.
During a review of FBI and DOJ actions in the run-up to the 2016 election, the Justice Department’s inspector general discovered politically-charged text messages between two highly-placed FBI individuals as well as other evidence of politically-tainted activity. Inspector Gen. Michael Horowitz ultimately referred those two individuals, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, plus a number of others, to the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) for review of their conduct.
Last August, Strzok was fired from his position as FBI Deputy Counterintelligence chief, which followed Page’s resignation in May. Other high-ranking FBI figures such as Chief Counsel James Baker; his boss, former FBI Director James Comey; and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe are no longer at the agency as a result of either resignation or having been fired.
