New Details on Deep State ‘Grand Conspiracy’ Against Trump Revealed by Devin Nunes [WATCH]

Former FBI Director James Comey is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday in federal court in the Eastern District of Virginia on charges of making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding. Comey has denied the allegations and is expected to plead not guilty to the charges.

It remains unclear whether Comey will be subject to an arrest or a public “perp walk.”

Reporting on the case has indicated that Comey will appear voluntarily, but current FBI Director Kash Patel has disputed media claims that such an occurrence would be unprecedented for the Department of Justice.

Ahead of Comey’s arraignment, former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes appeared on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to discuss the case and potential repercussions for others involved in the Russia investigation.

Bartiromo asked Nunes what he expects to see in terms of additional charges against Comey and his colleagues who pushed the Russia collusion narrative.

“Look, I’m expecting a full investigation,” Nunes responded. “If you look at the transparency that’s been brought by the intelligence agencies under Trump — unprecedented level of transparency, where we’re now finally getting out documents that the American people had never seen. So, I think you’re beginning to see real clear clairvoyance on what happened between 2016 all the way to the Mar-a-Lago raid. And I think that’s where — culminating with the Mar-a-Lago raid — is where I think I really still have a lot of questions of documents that really need to get out there. And I think an investigation needs to kind of start there and go back, because we know for sure what happened in 2016 that Comey was well aware of is that this was all — the whole Russia Hoax — was designed to get Trump, because they were worried about the ‘her emails’ coming public back in 2016 before the election.”

Nunes then said there are still unanswered questions about the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith in 2022 and the decision to raid Mar-a-Lago.

“These are all the questions that still remain to be answered, and I think where the investigators need to start — from there and then go back,” Nunes said.

Bartiromo also asked Nunes about the notion of a “grand conspiracy.”

Nunes responded, “Well, I think you just have to ask yourself the common-sense question is: Was it a conspiracy or not? And clearly, unless you’ve been hiding under a rock somewhere, this has been a conspiracy to weaponize the U.S. intelligence agencies against the most popular Republican since Ronald Reagan — that is President Trump. He became very popular in 2016, was a popular president, remains popular, was reelected president. It was all designed to target and take down one of your political enemies, so much so that they actually raided his home — his private — a private home of a former president at that time.”

Nunes continued, “I’m not a lawyer, never been a prosecutor, but I’ve done a lot of these investigations. And to me, really what matters is the court of public opinion; what matters are the statutes and law. And I would — from my vantage point, it’s pretty clear that there was a conspiracy on a number of fronts: most importantly, I think lying and misleading — I think that’s a keyword, misleading — Congress and other investigations.”

Bartiromo pressed further on how Comey and others may have misled Congress.

Nunes replied, “Those days are over, right? Now the president has made me the chair of his intelligence board. We are working to help declassify where we can all the information that you now are seeing come out.”

Nunes cited two key dates: August 2016, when intelligence officials in the Obama White House were told that the Clinton campaign was seeking to link then-candidate Trump to Russian interference; and August 2022, when the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago.

“They knew that in August of ‘16,” Nunes said.

“Now, how is it possible that all of these cast of characters that were interviewed by multiple — not only the House Intelligence Committee, but also in the Senate and Horowitz and…all the way to Durham — they had amnesia, just forgot about this? All those years went by, and they don’t remember that this was a cover-up for the Hillary Clinton email campaign? Nonsense. We know that’s not true. They had to have known it.”

On the Mar-a-Lago raid, Nunes pointed to the involvement of officials such as Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco and questioned Attorney General Merrick Garland’s knowledge of the operation.

“They didn’t find what they were looking for because it took him three days after this magnificent raid with all the cameras there… miraculously they didn’t find anything and it took Garland three days before he came out and made a statement,” Nunes said.

While Nunes’ comments extended beyond the immediate indictment of Comey, they highlighted what he described as a broader pattern of misconduct and lack of transparency.

As Comey prepares to enter his plea on Thursday, questions about whether additional charges may be brought against other former officials remain open.
