n 2018, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) raised concerns about the FBI wiretapping Carter Page, a Trump campaign advisor. In response to those concerns Adam “Shifty” Schiff (D-CA) wrote that “FBI and DOJ officials did not ‘abuse’ the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) process, omit material information, or subvert this vital tool to spy on the Trump campaign.” Last week, an Inspector General’s report found this to be a lie.

The Inspector General Report stated that the FBI’s Russia probe had 17 “significant inaccuracies or omissions” in applications for the FISA warrant. These included a doctored email and reliance on completely unverified info from British former spy Christopher Steele.

House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes told chairman Adam Schiff today in a letter that “After publishing false conclusions of such enormity on a topic directly within this committee’s oversight responsibilities, it is clear you are in need of rehabilitation, and I hope this letter will serve as the first step in that vital process. Nunes continued, “As part of your rehabilitation, it’s crucial that you admit you have a problem - you are hijacking the Intelligence Committee for political purposes while excusing and covering up intelligence agency abuses.”

Nunes went on to define 7 instances where Schiff outright lied about the vetting process for the FBI warrant. These lies include, that the FBI and Justice Department officials did not omit material information from the FISA warrant, that The Justice Department “made only narrow use of information” from Steele’s, that in FISA renewals of the wiretap warrant, DOJ provided additional information that corroborated Steele’s reports, that the Page warrant allowed the FBI to collect “valuable intelligence,” Democrats know about Steele’s shady background, credibility issues, and potential bias, that the FBI conducted a “rigorous process” to vet Steele’s allegations, and that Steele’s prior reporting was used in criminal proceedings.
