Congressman Devin Nunes: This Whistleblower Complaint Sure Is Reading Like The Steele Dossier
[Townhall] House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes (R-CA) on Wednesday told Fox News' Martha MacCallum he believes the whistleblower complaint filed against President Donald Trump for a call made with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky "reads like the Steele dossier." "We learned about this three weeks ago on a late Friday night press release that was multiple pages long, about a paragraph long," Nunes said about the whistleblower complaint. Nunes comments come after it was learned that Schiff knew about the whistleblower's complaint a month before it was brought to the Intelligence Committee. "We got that, Republicans receive that, what on Earth is going on here. All of you in the press office, why is this being pumped up as big," he said. "A few days later after a briefing, Schiff briefs us a little bit on this and claims he doesn’t know exactly what this is, but it must be really important." "Those are just two sets of facts that clearly he’s trying to pump up and promote this story. And that we find out that, yeah, because his staff knew about it ahead of time," he said. "The thing not clear is when did they actually find out about it. We still don’t have a date, when did the whistleblower start talking to the Democrats of the Intelligence Committee? It would’ve been very easy to just tell us. He had multiple opportunities to tell." Related: Devin Nunes: 2019-09-29 Rep.
