Nunes: FBI Agents Leaked Clinton Info to Me

Nunes: FBI Agents Leaked Clinton Info to Me

By Josh Marshall | June 15, 2018 4:56 pm

In light of the fact that the Inspector General’s report ignored the questions about anti-Clinton bias in the FBI’s New York field office and questions about whether Comey’s actions were driven by fears of leaks from that same office, this seems highly relevant. Last night on Fox News, Rep. Devin Nunes explained that in late September 2016, “good FBI agents” came to him and told him they’d found the Weiner laptop with Huma Abedin’s emails with Secretary Clinton.




Note that the reference to late September 2016 makes it clear that the agents in question basically went to Nunes and other Capitol Hill Republicans immediately after they found the laptop.

They broke the law and need to be fired from the FBI! Nunes needs to be investigated for cooperating with this illegality!

Somehow I'm not getting hyperbolic enough here.

There was no good answers why the FBI had the computer with these fines for nearly a month before it was suddenly made a big deal, coincidentally when it would be the most damaging to Hillary Clinton's campaign.

These questions of conspiracy should be asked of Nunes and the Agents involved.



PS: I have seen unverified reports that Comey's letter to congress about these "new" files was actually classified, and Nunes whited out the classified stamp to release it publicly. Any real info on this?

In that world, Comey does not re-open email investigation, Clinton wins the election, and GOP Congress keeps calling for new investigations leading to impeachment over trumped-up email scandal -- or worse paying Russians for opposition dirt on Trump. We would be hearing about child-sex rings and pizza joints, constant sexual harassment allegations... EITHER WAY, we end up in the same damn place. Two years of chaos provided courtesy of the GOP.

Now we know exactly how deep the Trump/Rudy swamp actually is. I'd bet real money that Rudy directed that whole laptop affair.

He's still good buddies with many in that crowd. It certainly explains how he could get on TV and brag about how there was going to be "BIG, BIG news coming soon." I hope that fucker winds up in prison with the rest of them.
