By CAITLIN OPRYSKO 03/01/2019 10:41 AM EST
House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes called Friday for full transparency from special counsel Robert Mueller if his final report on Russian election interference is made public, demanding that any release include every piece of evidence that Mueller used to compile the report.
The California Republican, in an appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference alongside Tom Fitton, president of the right-wing activist group Judicial Watch, prefaced his proposal by saying he doesnt believe Mueller has any report to put out that would be worthwhile, with anything new.
But, the California Republican said, If he does put out a report, you're gonna see people claiming, 'Oh we have to have this public, it's got to be made public.' That's fine. But I want everything that Mueller did made public. I want email, I want everybody that they wiretapped, every warrant that they got, every single thing that Mueller used needs to be made public for all of America to see."
He contextualized his argument by saying that he didnt necessarily disagree with Fitton, who had just told the audience that this Justice Department has no business writing reports on the presidents conduct as president.

It's BS, just like tRumps claim that the 2016 election was already rigged.

(22,913 posts)Revealing everything means blowing the cover not only on the means that our Intelligence agencies use to gather critical information, it also means compromising the lives of human assets. In other words no responsible person can agree to releasing literally all of the background evidence to the public. Some key evidence would have to be redacted. It is the same reason why the entirety of a President's daily intelligence briefing could never be revealed in full to the possible. It is why there are "Top Secret" clearances and the like.
This is a trap meant to generate a Republican talking point that Democrats plan to cherry pick the information released.

(23,297 posts)Including dump's taxes, all of the NDAs, document all of the threats made by him, the payoffs, the collusion, the treason, every dollar he has made as 'president', the selling of access to the office, the selling of nuclear technology to Saud, the release of classified info, the wasting of billions in taxpayer money, illegal use of campaign funds and how much went into his pockets. All of it. Just the lies he's told would be a voluminous as the tax code.

(11,885 posts)About everything he's done, and many others soon to be indicted like he will be. That's what trump and putin will be busy trying to do, hide everything about themselves and all the corruption from exposing them ,and have lackey's like Nunes to help them do it. Nunes will be running his mouth a lot because he knows he'll be exposed too.
