Devin Nunes Says More Memos To Be Released – Reveals Who They’re Targeting Next…
By Donn Marten

There could soon be another memo coming out detailing the abuses of government officials according to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes who is public enemy number one to Democrats and their media flunkies.

On the heels of the release of the inflammatory House Intel memo detailing FISA abuses and the discredited Fusion GPS dossier, the Republican congressman spoke to Fox News on what he referred to as “Phase Two” of the investigation.

For the first time, Rep. Nunes acknowledged that the probe into the promotion of the falsehoods in the dossier isn’t limited to the FBI and the Justice Department.

The State Department is also under scrutiny.

Via The Hill “Nunes: House panel looking at State Dept. involvement in Russia probe”:

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) revealed Friday that Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee would examine other agencies, including the State Department, after releasing a controversial memo alleging surveillance abuses.

Speaking on Fox News just hours after Republicans on the committee released a memo alleging surveillance abuses by the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ), Nunes said the panel was moving to “phase two” of its investigation.

“We are in the middle of what I call phase two of our investigation, which involves other departments, specifically the State Department and some of the involvement that they had in this,” Nunes said.

“That investigation is ongoing and we continue work towards finding answers and asking the right questions to try to get to the bottom of what exactly the State Department was up to in terms of this Russia investigation.”

What could be revealed by investigating the State Department is as yet unknown but considering that it was run by Hillary Clinton and then John Kerry it would be naive to believe that it was not similarly politicized.

Nunes dropped his bombshell during an interview with Fox News. The comment about State comes at approximately the 12:40 mark of the video.

The prospect of the investigation expanding to other parts of the swamp has already triggered the Washington Post.

Pravda on the Potomac serves as the protector of the corrupt as well as the central propaganda transmission beacon for anonymously sourced scoops that are all but certainly fed to reporters from anti-Trump operatives embedded within the deep state bureaucracy.

Prolific neocon WaPo blogger Jennifer Rubin is calling for the Republicans to stomp on Nunes before he is able to uncover more aspects of the criminal conspiracy to overthrow the legitimately elected President of the United States.

In her latest screed “When Will the GOP Muzzle Nunes?” Rubin writes:

The memo was a disaster not only for the Trump-Nunes strategy but also for the country. A raft of national security experts eviscerated the memo and castigated Nunes for wrecking the oversight process. The Lawfare blog explained: “The bottom line is that there are multiple reasons to expect that Nunes has not given a full and fair account of the FBI’s FISA process and that his memo is as factually deficient as it accuses the Carter Page warrant application of being.” However, even if accurate, the memo doesn’t show much of anything, the Lawfare gurus state. The “facts,” they say, are not “particularly strong, let alone scandalous … because the points recounted (assuming they are true) don’t make out a coherent complaint.”

They conclude, “At the end of the day, the most important aspect of the #memo is probably not its contents but the fact that it was written and released at all. Its preparation and public dissemination represent a profound betrayal of the central premise of the intelligence oversight system.”

The only questions that remain are how long House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) is going to let this humiliating spectacle go on and how much damage he will permit to be done to the oversight process so Nunes can flail about trying to protect Trump and ruin public servants’ reputations. Nunes promises further memos, but if they are anything like the first one, the only things they will damage will be Republicans and the intelligence oversight process. Mr. Speaker, haven’t you all done quite enough damage?

As was made clear in the first memo, the media has skin in the game on this one so expect a ferocious and concerted effort to discredit and derail Nunes. He will certainly…
