Devin Nunes has already made 8 criminal referrals stemming from the illicit FISA warrants against Carter Page. He now says he is expecting to make even more criminal referrals from the declassified footnotes in the DOJ IG report. According to the footnotes, the FBI was fully aware that the Steele dossier was the result of Russian misinformation. This information was withheld from FBI agents investigating Russian tied to the Trump campaign.
That being the case, why would the Russians feed misinformation to the FBI against Donald Trump? Simple. They were trying to help Hillary win the presidency because she wouldn’t dare take a hard line stance against them because she would not want voters to know how she profited by $145 million when she approved the sale of US uranium supplies to Russia.
California Rep. Devin Nunes said Saturday that he expects to file more criminal referrals based on new revelations from the Justice Department inspector general’s investigation of the FBI’s probe of the Trump campaign.
Nunes, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, has already filed eight criminal referrals related to the U.S. government’s investigation of the Trump campaign. He said in an interview on “Fox & Friends” that he anticipates filing additional referrals based on information in a series of footnotes from the IG’s report that was revealed on Friday.
“I would say that people should go and look at those footnotes that are now public. Likely we’re going to have more criminal referrals based on these,” Nunes said.
Two Senate Republicans published newly declassified footnotes from the IG report that showed that the FBI received evidence in 2017 that the Steele dossier contained Russian disinformation.
The footnotes said that the FBI was provided evidence that Russians fed dossier author Christopher Steele disinformation related to former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen and a trip that Donald Trump made to Moscow in 2013.
