Nunes still hasn't read unredacted FISA documents he requested: DOJ

[Mrs. Overall]

From The Hill:

The head of the House Intelligence Committee still has not reviewed the largely unredacted application the FBI used to obtain a surveillance warrant on former Trump campaign aide Carter Page during the 2016 election, Justice Department officials said Wednesday.

Roughly 30 lawmakers from the House and Senate have viewed the classified Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) documents, which House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) subpoenaed for last year, according to the officials.

They said that instead of viewing the records he himself requested, Nunes instead has had committee member Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) review the documents on his behalf. The DOJ officials added that Nunes's staff has also been active in examining the materials.

Most of the 30 lawmakers who reviewed the FISA documents were members on the House Intelligence Committee, the officials said. They were able to review both the original application and the subsequent renewals of Page's FISA warrant in private reading rooms set up by the DOJ.

1. Maybe Nunes can't read

2. Maybe he has the same system as the moron.

Perhaps his staff should put it in a red folder with large, bold print with a lot of pretty pictures. If he reads the contents he gets a biscuit...good boy.

3. Devil Nunes wrote his "memo" based on

making shit up.

4. Nunes is like Trump

If his name isn't in the document (saying how fantastic he is) or if there aren't any pictures, Nunes can't concentrate long enough to digest the information.

We have too many stupid and idiotic partisans dominating our governments.

Nunes should be called out for his lack of professionalism.

5. He can't distance himself from an obstruction charge now. Too late, Devin. (n/t)

6. He never wanted to read them

He wanted them to say no to his request, so he could rail against the "obstruction."
