House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes dropped a bombshell on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — and what he claims to have uncovered could lead to serious jail time if President Donald Trump has his way.
In an appearance on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” Nunes unloaded on Hillary and her political allies for illegal collusion with “nearly every” top official in the Department of Justice during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Nunes discussed the debunked dossier on President Donald Trump by foreign intelligence agent Christopher Steele, and how Bruce Ohr, the fourth-highest ranking DOJ official at the time, allegedly fed information to him.
“What’s come out now … is that [Ohr] has been the go-between Christopher Steele, so once Christopher Steele was terminated as a source, for doing all things like talking to the media, at the behest of Glenn Simpson — remember he was working for Glenn Simpson Fusion GPS — who was working for the Clinton Campaign,” Nunes said. “Christopher Steele was fired, so a lot of this information wasn’t shared with the FISA court… especially because of the fact that Christopher Steele was desperate that Donald Trump not become president.”
“After that happened, Bruce Ohr, one of the top lawyers in the Department of Justice, kept continually meeting and providing information from Christopher Steele to … the FBI,” he continued. “This is just madness. The American people need to know it!”
“I will tell you … the fact that the media is ignoring this is even more of a reason that we’re going to have to have more information than usual declassified,” Nunes told Fox News. “We’re going to have to have an unprecedented amount of information declassified, because the media is just not covering this topic.”
“Don’t forget that Bruce Ohr’s wife, Nellie Ohr — who will have to be interviewed soon — was working for Fusion GPS and working for the Clinton campaign. So here you have information flowing from the Clinton campaign from the Russians… I believe it was handed directly from Russian propaganda arms to the Clinton campaign, fed into the top levels of the FBI and Department of Justice to open up a counter intelligence investigation into a political campaign that has now colluded with nearly every top official at the DOJ and FBI over the course of the last couple years.”
Ohr still works for the DOJ.
The reveal got the attention of Trump, who tweeted —
The big story that the Fake News Media refuses to report is lowlife Christopher Steele’s many meetings with Deputy A.G. Bruce Ohr and his beautiful wife, Nelly. It was Fusion GPS that hired Steele to write the phony & discredited Dossier, paid for by Crooked Hillary & the DNC….

….Do you believe Nelly worked for Fusion and her husband STILL WORKS FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF “JUSTICE.” I have never seen anything so Rigged in my life. Our A.G. is scared stiff and Missing in Action. It is all starting to be revealed – not pretty. IG Report soon? Witch Hunt!

Trump then claimed that, if the roles were reversed, Democrats would be locking up people left and right.
“Seems like the Department of Justice (and FBI) had a program to keep Donald Trump from becoming President”. @DarrellIssa @foxandfriends If this had happened to the other side, everybody involved would be in jail. This is a Media coverup of the biggest story of our time.

Imagine the media firestorm if Republican FBI agents and the top DOJ officials under former President George W. Bush had conspired to keep Barack Obama from winning the 2008 presidential election?
The talking heads at CNN and MSNBC would have been foaming at the mouth!
But now, there’s barely even a peep from the mainstream media.
The House Intelligence Committee chairman implied Sunday that there was a shadowy government conspiracy in 2016 against the current President of the United States… and the mainstream media can’t be bothered to report on it.
Here’s a screenshot of CNN.com’s top, front page article from Monday morning they ran instead. It’s a story bashing a Republican congressional candidate’s resume. Surprised?
It seems the liberal media doesn’t seem care that there are DOJ and FBI officials working against our democracy, as Nunes implies… as long as it hurts Trump.
That’s disturbing.
