Devin Nunes On Russia Probe Origin: "Major Irregularities" At State Dept, Sidney Blumenthal Involved
Posted By Tim Hains
On Date April 22, 2018
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes says on 'Sunday Morning Futures' with Maria Bartiromo that potential "major irregularities" exist at the State Department with regard to how the FBI found out about the George Papadopoulos meeting with a Russian national that led to the FBI's original investigation into potential Trump/Russia collusion.
DEVIN NUNES: It took a long time to actually get this... the original intelligence, the original reasons that the counterintelligence investigation was started.
This is really important to us because a counterintelligence investigation uses the tools of our intelligence services, that are not supposed to be used on American citizens. So we've wanted to know what intelligence they had that actually led to this investigation.
So what we found now, after investigators have reviewed it is that, in fact, there was no intelligence.
