Schiff: Surveillance warrant docs show that Nunes memo 'misrepresented and distorted these applications'

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said Saturday that the release of documents related to the surveillance of a former Trump campaign adviser show that Republicans “misrepresented and distorted these applications” in their claims of bias at the Department of Justice.

“These documents affirm that our nation faced a profound counterintelligence threat prior to the 2016 election, and the Department of Justice and FBI took appropriate steps to investigate whether any U.S. persons were acting as an agent of a foreign power,” Schiff said in a statement. “FBI and DOJ would have been negligent had they not used all the tools at their disposal, including Court-authorized FISA surveillance, to protect the country.”

The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Saturday released more than 400 pages of heavily-redacted documents on the surveillance of former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page.

The application documents state that FBI "believes Page has been the subject of targeted recruitment by the Russian government ... to undermine and influence the outcome of the 2016 U.S. presidential election in violation of U.S. criminal law."

1. I hope the people of California realise just who Nunes is -- traitor or defender of traitors!

2. We do.

He has embedded himself in a district of deplorables, so voting him out is not going to be easy.

His opponent will be Andrew Janz, kick him down a buck if you can afford it.

3. Thank you for posting this.

Every little bit helps, even if Nunes is in what's considered a safe district.

Maybe we can shame them out of voting, though? You never know!

5. Is it going to take an indictment or conviction to get rid of him?

That's pretty much what it looks like.

He's got a lot more cash in the bank than Janz

Of course, he might want to keep a lot of that cash in reserve for legal bills.
