Devin Nunes went on Maria Bartiromo today and dragged out an ugly skeleton out of the deep state’s closet and he wants answers.
Look, it is clear that the American people have not received the straight story about Russia from either side so total transparency is the only solution, as Nunes argues.
From The Gateway Pundit: Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures this morning.
Nunes discussed the recent letter Freedom Caucus members Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) sent to Attorney General Bill Barr.
According to Rep. Nunes Attorney General Bill Barr has until March 15th to respond to their requests.
AG Barr Has Until March 15 to Disclose Information on Weissmann and Ahmad’s Conflicts on Special Counsel.
Rep. Devin Nunes: So Weissmann is the number two, he’s Mueller’s deputy. He was involved in the custody of the dossiers. In early 20016 he was given the dossier. He is someone, along with the other one mentioned there, both DOJ people, both on the Mueller team. They shouldn’t be involved in this investigation… There’s clear regulations the DOJ has. You can’t be conflicted. Look did they disclose before Mueller picked them that they were involved in the custody of the dossier?… We know these two individuals were involved in the custody of important evidence, dirt from the Clinton campaign that is the basis for the entire hoax…
Nunes: These are not independent investigators. These are people who were in on it from the beginning… We also have information that Weissman was meeting with reporters. And this is part of this whole disinformation campaign… You also had people with the Department of Justice and the FBI who were briefing reporters. What was Weissman doing talking to AP reporters? We asked those questions and never got those answers.
Maria Bartiromo: Jordan and Meadows want this information from the Attorney General by March 15th at 5 PM.
“Why would people in the Clinton campaign be tweeting out messages about [President] Trump’s involvement with Russia? It’s because they had the dossier,” Nunes said during an interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.” “They were promoting this message, this dirt, out there in 2016, and we need to ask these Clinton campaign people where they got it from. Did they get it from Glenn Simpson and Fusion GPS the dossier they were paying for or do they get it from some Russian friends?”
The list, which also includes Simpson, stems from an exhaustive roll of names Nunes sent to a GOP task force of the House Oversight and Judiciary Committee’s last year, which included Clinton allies, current and former Justice Department and FBI officials connected to the Russia investigation, as well as people who served in the White House or State Department under the Obama administration. There were roughly 42 names in all.
“These names are all-important because we need to know if these people were involved in the chain of custody of the dossier,” Nunes said. “The dossier makes claims that this information came from Russians, so all the names that are on this list that we didn’t get to last year that still need to be interviewed if we’re really looking for Russian collusion we need to know if any of those people were actually talking to Russians on behalf of the Clinton campaign or any other operative.”
Nunes was doubtful that his list would make any headway with Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., in charge of the House Intelligence Committee, but suggested there were other ways to proceed with the investigation, even if it goes out of his hands.
“They claim they’re going to give us witnesses so far they’ve given us zero witnesses,” Nunes said of the Democrats. “If they continue not to give us any witnesses we will ask all of these people to voluntarily come into Congress to talk to us. If they won’t come in, we will either do it through the courts or we will send it over to the Senate and hope that Lindsey Graham and his team get to bottom of it.”
