House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., told “Sunday Morning Futures” in an exclusive interview that “we’ve now expanded our investigation, full-blown investigation, into the Brookings Institute.”
Nunes made the comment one day after the primary source for Christopher Steel’s unverified dossier had been revealed as a United States resident who once co-wrote a research paper showing Russian President Vladimir Putin plagiarized his dissertation.
Host Maria Bartiromo pointed out on Sunday that “Nunes was among the first lawmakers to question the Russian collusion hoax as then chairman of the House Intel committee.” She noted that three years ago he said “that the FBI engaged in a coup to take down a sitting president.”
She pointed to a Fox Business interview last week where Nunes first said that he believes there were “direct links between the Brookings Institute leadership and the creation, possibly, of the Steele dossier and the dissemination of the Steele dossier.”
Nunes then explained what he believes “all of this” means.
“This was the Clinton campaign’s dossiers. It was the dirt. It was a phony story that they sold not only to the American people, but they sold it and corrupted our FBI, where it appears these dirty cops were more than willing to take this information to present it to the FISA court,” Nunes said.
He added, “We’ve now expanded our investigation, full-blown investigation, into the Brookings Institute and it really centers on two issues.”
“One is the IRS. This is a tax-exempt organization. They’re supposed to stay out of politics. They clearly have not done that. They’ve obstructed our investigation with propaganda for the last four years,” Nunes said. “It’s well-known that they’ve attacked our investigation for four years through this kind of phony legal group of fact-checkers that they set up. So we need to look in there to see if they’re involved in politics.”
Nunes said the second issue is that the Brookings Institute allegedly accepts “foreign money from foreign countries and foreign governments.”
Bartiromo said, “What this all tells me, including the sub-source revealed, is that there was indeed collusion in this country, but it was collusion with Hillary Clinton and the Democrats.” She then asked Nunes if that is “a fair statement?”
