(The Gateway Pundit)—As more details have emerged over the last few weeks regarding the Russian Collusion hoax, Devin Nunes, the former congressman who initially led the Russia investigation in 2017, has disclosed that a new document suggests that John Brennan, James Comey, and others knew right from the start that the ‘Russian Collusion’ story was “stirred up” by the Clinton campaign.
Yet, the rollout of the long-debunked hoax was still rolled out with the effect of diminishing President Trump’s first term in office.
Nunes claimed that this document was undisclosed to the investigators until late 2020. During a FOX News interview with Trey Gowdy, who was also involved in the 2017 investigation, Nunes discussed the undisclosed document, and more importantly, the still-unpublished report that Nunes wrote in response to the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on Russia Collusion:
“…there was a document that you nor I saw back in 2017, and 2018 while we were doing this investigation, it didn’t appear until right before the election in 2020. In October 2020, then-Director Ratcliffe declassifie[d] this document. And it was sent in September 2016 from the CIA to Director Comey and Peter Strzok. That document we never saw.
You got to put a little bit of common sense to this. If you listen to what your interaction with Brennan was, he never briefed us on this. He knew, the CIA sent to Comey and to the FBI, that the Russians and others knew that the Clinton Campaign and the DNC were actively involved in stirring up a Russian controversy with Trump. That was real intelligence. It never made it to us. It really didn’t allow President Trump to govern in his first term…because…everything was about Russia all the time. And it was all a bunch of non-sense. And hopefully now they’ll be able to get to the bottom of this and people can be held accountable.
Nunes does not elaborate on what specifically the document contains nor when he hopes it will be publicly released. However, Nunes then refers to the report he submitted regarding the CIA Intelligence Community Assessment that has been declassified (twice) but has never been publicly released:
Right after the election in 2017, we were briefed by the FBI and the other intelligence agencies, and we were told everything was normal. Yeah, the Russians, all the usual suspects, were up to their usual games but there was nothing unusual about it. This was a week or two after the election in 2016. We…had been running an investigation and warning the Obama administration about Putin for a very long time.
