Page; (2) all FBI reports of interviews with Bruce G. Ohr prepared in connection with the Russia investigation; and (3) all FBI reports of interviews prepared in connection with all Carter Page FISA applications.

Nunes:

We believe that the depositions that we took, nearly about 70 people, those need to be published. And they need to be published I think before the election. By published I mean put out for the American people to review – so they can see the work that we did and they can see all the people that were interviewed by us and their answers to those questions.

I think full transparency is in order here, so I expect to make those available from our committee to the American public here in the next few weeks.

Bartiromo:

So, let me just go back here – this is breaking news right now. You are going to declassify your depositions of some 70 individuals related to the Trump-Russia collusion narrative.

Nunes:

Yeah, so some of them are not even classified. Some of them are just held at the Committee. Matter of fact, I think 70% or 80% of them are not classified.

The ones that are classified we will have to send to the Director of National Intelligence [Dan Coats] to declassify but we hope that would only take a matter of days – and they don’t do their normal foot-dragging where they slow-roll and we don’t get these before the election.

Hm, wtf?
