Nunes: Secret Court Must Sanction Those Who Violated Its Rules To Spy On Americans

 

“Only DOJ can clean up their own mess,” said Nunes. “We can make referrals and if those referrals are actually taken up by the DOJ then we’ll get some type of fairness in the process.”

 

“So that’s first and foremost, which is why we’re going to wait for Barr to get in there. We’ve got a new Sheriff in town and someone who can really look at it with a fresh set of eyes,” he said.

 

The DOJ has the authority to take the information referred from the committee to the FISC judges as part of the investigation. It is the only way to remedy the serious abuse of the system discovered by his committee, he said.

 

He said the American people deserve a system that is free from abuse and above reproach

 

“I don’t think we’ll have finality to this until people are brought to justice,” Nunes said. “I mean the big issues here are we need FISA to protect the American people. But we can’t have FISA the way it is because of the way it was abused. The laws have got to be changed. Rules and regulations have got to be put into place and these people have to be brought to Justice.”

 

Task Force Reconsituted

First, the committee will be combing through all the transcripts and expecting to call more than 40 witnesses to testify.

 

It will not be easy. Why? Because the Democrats have no desire to investigate the abuses of the FISC court. Instead, the Chairman Adam Schiff, D-CA, threatened future investigations will center on Trump’s personal finances and his family.

 

However, Nunes said the Republican’s are reconstituting the task force established last year between the three committees with jurisdiction. Those committees are the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, House Oversight Committee and House Judiciary Committee.

 

“This year we’ll take more of a formal approach,” he said. The task force will be led by Nunes, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio and Rep. Doug Collins, R-Georgia.

 

Asked if they already had people in mind for criminal referrals, Nunes said,”we very much do but I don’t want to get ahead of the task force on that.”
