Nunes Statement on Release of HPSCI Memo [MEMO LINKED HERE]
House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence ^ | February 2, 2018 | Devin Nunes

Posted on 02/02/2018 9:45:28 AM PST by Cboldt

The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence today made public a committee memo with information on abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Chairman Nunes issued the following statement:

"The Committee has discovered serious violations of the public trust, and the American people have a right to know when officials in crucial institutions are abusing their authority for political purposes. Our intelligence and law enforcement agencies exist to defend the American people, not to be exploited to target one group on behalf of another. It is my hope that the Committee's actions will shine a light on this alarming series of events so we can make reforms that allow the American people to have full faith and confidence in their governing institutions."

The memo is available here and here.

To boil it down, Obama officials deceived the FISA court in order to get a warrant to spy on the Trump campaign.

Sounds like a bad instance of SWATting.

-- Do you feel we need a special counsel. --

Yes. Not just yet though, more needs to come to the public view.

The reason a special counsel is needed is that both Sessions and Rosenstein will be viewed as too partisan, having an axe to grind against the elements of the outgoing administration who done them wrong during and after the campaign.

One nice thing about a special counsel, he, unlike the OIG, will have the power to bring charges. I'd say bring a special counsel just before Horowitz OIG report comes out. Special counsel would be appointed to investigate a select few for potential crimes; but could expand inquiry into wrongdoings depending on evidence. OIG report will have TONS of evidence.

-- I apologize in advance if you have already posted an opinion on this. --

No apology needed. I think this is the first time I've expressed any thoughts on the subject. Those are off the cuff, not well thought through.

I expect Congress and some pundits will start to clamor for a SC, just as happened with the "Russian collusion" frameup.

Unbelievable. This one (The Memo) lived up to the hype and then some.

Holy Cow; this is the beginning of a really big coup attempt.
Rosenstein must be cowering under his desk. He should. They all should.

I think there has been substantial swamp draining behind the scenes. Tillerson is doing a bang-up job at Foggy Bottom. DOJ and FBI (and ATF and a hst of others) are toughr to clear out. Oh, Pruitt is doing a good job at EPA as well.

More to the point...either it was Rosenstein and Comey that ordered this done on their own, or it was someone above them. Which was it. Who ordered the known lies to be used for spying on American citizens? Who did it. Who gave the order?

Absolutely.

There are two senior hidiot (hideous idiot) lying, treasonous snakes in the grass at the top of the food chain in all this: Shrillery and OThuga. Lock Em Up! #LockEmUp!

Give them bread and water for as long as they perpetrated these crimes (AND WORSE) on the American Republic and #WeThePeople!

By the time their other treasons are included, execution would be too good for them.

They should just turn themselves in to avoid a public perp walk.

Probably a Mexican prison would be too good for them. Given their trying to turn the USA into Mexico—works for me, though.

Right, re Comey’s feigned intimidation. I remember the story about him trying to hide behind the curtains now, too.

Sooooooooo, why did the black hats fight against publishing it so outrageously?

Schiff-for-brains was off the scale enraged. I realize he likely is rightly fearful that his treason/child sexual abuse stuff--e.g. at the Foundation? hotel in LA concerns him. But this memo didn't mention him. Wherefore his rage? Just over the exposure of the DIMRATS complicity in serious crimes?

It's not as though THAT was new information!

Bears repeating:

Barack Obama should never have been in that position.

BOTH parties colluded to make the Kenyanesian Usurpation happen.

BOTH parties have been conspiring to keep the borders open and the laws unenforced.

Unfortunately, unless Rosenstein or Sessions makes a move, what will really happen? The last thing heard from the DOJ is “Don’t release the memo.”

Amen. Agreed.

Wish the pace were faster to full disclosure.

However, I realize the culture, society could likely not handle a much faster pace.

Been pondering this for some time at our house.

Normally, both of us are very merciful given that we need mercy up one side and down the other.

However, in this case, sooooooooo much public trust has been sooooooooo satanically shredded in soooooooooo many horrible ways for soooooooo long ... an attitude of mercy toward the major perps is hard to reach.

This is just dirty.

This is beyond filthy dirty into maggots, schiff, puss, fetid swamp, slug poo, ...

And still, it doesn't reach the depths that more or less the same perps reach with their young child sex abuse, satanic sacrifices etc.

The oligarchy, NSA et al have been monitoring

100% of ALL electricity based communications (most say world wide but certainly in the western world) since AT LEAST 1970. That's not a rumor. That's a fact Qx learned in his Navy job from a colleague who had experience in such things.

Unconstitutional stuff has been going on a long time.
