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 were trying to piece all that together and thats 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 others citizens, and its worked well, he said. And it continues to work well. And we know its working well because there was no intelligence that passed through the Five Eyes channels to our government. And thats 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 Britains MI6 in London in 2016 was obtained by the FBI.

I have heard insurance used instead of the word blackmail before, I think this is what this is all about.
Swift and forceful reaction to the coming multiple indictments that include several MSM conspirators will blanket all outlets.
The attempts to defend the indefensible will be comical
Tweets will smother the MSM inadequate efforts
Insurance against what? Trump being elected?
This is insane.
It is subversion of an elected POTUS.
Insane? Not so much. Seditious...traitorous...yes. I hope all involved get to taste a rope.
“What does Sessions say?”
He and he alone cleared the field for this farce to commence.
That is not going to happen. But jail time is possible.
I do understand the instinct.
The origin of the article was the NYT.
Think Progress is hard left mouthpiece. Nothing but lies will come out of it. Sprinkled with enough tidbits of truth to make it hard to not want to believe.
I don’t believe 1/2 of the crap from NYT, but for Think Progress the percentage is almost equivalent to ZERO.
Some high profile folks should be breaking rocks when this is through.
If there was any justice. This was a treasonous attempt to overthrow the duly and legitimately elected government.
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?
**********
That’s how they roll... hope they find something and then backfill with an implausible (but never questioned) cover story telling how they got the evidence legally.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
They had a suspect and no crime, so of course they had to investigate. To find a crime.
And that is what Rosenstein turned over to Mueller. A suspect and no crime.
LOL.
I would have reacted differently than Trump upon finding this out. I am admittedly more wreckless than he is. I would of had close to a dozen folks in shackles within the hour of confirming any conspiracy about any of this!
Conspiracy is a crime in itself.
I am anticipating a surge from Trump against the swamp.
I want more WINNING !!
Yes, I’ve read about that.
Nothing surprise me any more.
Until SEE BS, CNN, ABC and NBC tell them that a huge conspiracy in the US gov't attempted to overthrow the sitting President in a 3rd world level coup, MOST of the near brain dead public will NOT believe a word of it.
The corrupt newsmedia is NOT going to tell the public the truth. They don't have to.
