'You are in need of rehabilitation': Devin Nunes uses the DOJ IG report to STOMP all over many of Adam Schiff's claims

Jacob B. | 3:34 PM on December 15, 2019

In a letter sent to House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff, ranking member Rep. Devin Nunes used Department of Justice IG Michael Horowitz’s conclusions about FBI abuses that he delivered in a report released this past week to point out multiple errors made by Schiff during the process of presenting the impeachment case against President Trump.

Although he says there are more false claims made by Schiff, Nunes lists seven of them in his letter relating to the Steele Dossier and information used to obtain a surveillance warrant on former Trump campaign associate Carter Page.

The letter continues.

In addition to the issues he identified, Nunes uses pretty strong language to characterize Schiff’s position:

“After publishing false conclusions of such enormity on a topic directly within this committee’s oversight responsibilities, it is clear that you are in need of rehabilitation.”

“Your rehabilitation will be a long, arduous process.”

“As part of your rehabilitation, it is crucial to admit that you have a problem.”

“You are hijacking the Intelligence Committee for political purposes while excusing and covering up intelligence agency abuses.”

“You’ve already been discredited by your years-long false claim that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to hack the 2016 presidential election.”

“I refuse to believe you are beyond redemption.”

Is there a 12-step program to rehabilitate a serial liar who abuses his authority, deceives the American people, excuses FBI corruption, sees imaginary evidence, and hears imaginary phone calls? This letter by ⁦@DevinNunes⁩ to Schiff is pure fire—and hilarious: pic.twitter.com/itS54KqaxC

Nine days ago, Nunes wrote Schiff a letter that was just as blistering, outlining how he had “blatant disregard” for impeachment rules.

GOP Rep. and former CIA officer Will Hurd says the ‘real question’ is why there were ’17 lies’ used to surveil Carter Page
