Nunes reveals: in Sept 2016 "good FBI agents" told him about the newly discovered HRC emails

in the laptop.

But we know the good FBI agents didn't tell their boss, James Comey, for a MONTH.

How come?

Did Nunes tell them to withhold the information from Comey, so that it could be used to torpedo HRC right before the election?

If Comey had known about it in late September, he could have completed a review of it in a few days (as he did, in November) and it wouldn't have affected the election.

But his own "good" agents waited to tell him till October 27.

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.


Here is the Comey letter, stating that he was only briefed on the existence of the emails on October 27.

And the Weiner case, wasn't in NYC?

I smell the odor of Wormtail in this revelation. And would explain why suddenly he popped up as Trump's latest attorney.
