House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes said Sunday his review of FBI and Justice Department “electronic communication” documents shows no intelligence was used to begin the investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 election.

“We now know that there was no official intelligence that was used to start this investigation. We know that Sidney Blumenthal and others were pushing information into the State Department. So we’re trying to piece all that together and that’s why we continue to look at the State Department,” Nunes told Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.”
Nunes, R-Calif., cited the Five Eyes agreement as a way of knowing no intel was used. The U.S., along with Canada, the U.K., Australia and New Zealand, make up the “Five Eyes,” or countries that share intelligence in a more-trusted fashion than other arrangements, like NATO, particularly due to years of trust and a common language.
“We are not supposed to spy on each other’s citizens, and it’s worked well,” he said. “And it continues to work well. And we know it’s working well because there was no intelligence that passed through the Five Eyes channels to our government. And that’s why we had to see that original communication.”
The California Republican said he is now investigating the State Department due to signs of “major irregularities,” in an effort to figure out how information about former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos – who reportedly met with a foreign policy expert and Cambridge professor with connections to the CIA and Britain’s MI6 in London in 2016 – was obtained by the FBI.

If so, Where was the record?
If not, No official intel used?
More ComDem fuzzy logic?
So, is this saying that they began the investigation based on nothing? Just hoping that maybe they could find something if they looked hard enough? Total witch hunt right from the start?
Blumenthal again. He needs a good Fostering....
It was a coup attempt, that’s all. Fake evidence planted by Hillary and Obama, with a little help from the FBI and the DOJ (and CNN).
No Intel?
AMD then?
Where is RosenWeasel’s justification for Weasel Mueller?
What does Sessions say?
Hardware or hardway?
Headshake.
This has been ComDem smoke and lights from the beginning.
There is no paper trail, or electronic trail because most of it is not real.
Correct. That is exactly what this was.
The Trump team needs to make a comprehensive argument to the general public that what they have uncovered is a coup d’etat, a frame-up, of the president by DOJ & several intelligence agencies. It would help if they rolled out a presser with Rudy along with Admiral Rogers to explain just how this went down. Most of the American public still has no idea of what has happened.
This was the original theory long long ago. And there was some other non-official person from back in the 1960’s that was helping him. Don’t recall his name but probably still have it somewhere in my notes.
Another long term Clintonista.
Among Comey’s long list of transgressions, appointing Fitzgerald stands out for parallel fake obstruction with today.
Comey should be in prison twice for subversion of Justice.
Bingo, I found it. Cody Shearer
Not fuzzy logic
Corruption. On a massive scale.

Yes, indeed. Corruption.
Thanks for posting that info.
What does Sessions say?
Sessions stands up, says he can't discuss the matter because he is recused, and walks out of the room, leaving us with Rosenstein and staff.

Sure looking like it. No record, so no front-channel communication. And back-channel could have been anyone at all, or no one at all. Literally, no one. State drops off the tip at the FBI with a verbal assurance that they'd gotten it properly, so go ahead with the surveillance. Which they did.
Only someone familiar with how the FISA warrant was really issued could answer that question. And Nunes knows.
Is there currently, anywhere in politics or government, a more active, lying snake than Adam Schiff???
