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.

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.
and most don't care, which is why the Dems are about to move on to something else, obstruction, taxes, etc....There never was collusion even if the media pushed it with the Dems for the past year.
Tomorrow Papapolous gets sentenced for misrembering dates while being grilled by the FBI.
Product of Obama weaponizing the Federal Prosecution System.
Not an isolated instance.
Cody Shearer?
Shearers career took a strange turn when the Clintons entered the White House in 1992. His entrée into the first familys orbit was Strobe Talbott, Shearers brother-in-law, who had been a friend of Bill Clinton since the presidents days at Oxford. Talbott served as a deputy secretary in Bill Clintons State Department; his brother-in-law took a different route, allegedly working with Clinton enforcer Terry Lenzner to investigate and, at times, intimidate women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual harassment.
But Shearers political intrigues in the 90s extended beyond U.S. shores. In the middle of the decade, for reasons that remain unclear, he traveled to Europe to negotiate with associates of Radovan Karadzic, the Bosnian-Serb president known to have orchestrated the mass killings of Bosnian Muslims including the Srebrenica genocide during the brutal Yugoslav Wars. Representing himself as an agent of the State Department, Shearer told his Serbian contacts, which included members of Karadzics family, that he could reduce the severity of impending war-crimes charges if Karadzic surrendered. He claimed he was in contact not only with his brother-in-law, but also with then-secretary of state Madeleine Albright and even with President Clinton himself.
