Devin Nunes: Criminal referrals incoming from FBI bias investigation washex.am/2GaqbRm
"A lot of people think just because Republicans are out of power that we are not conducting an investigation. We still are," Nunes said. "Whether or not people will come in and interview with us, we don't have gavels, we don't have subpoena power.”
“But we will still be trying to interview people and we will still be making criminal referrals."
Nunes didn't name anyone, but Tucker Carlson floated former FBI agent @PeteStrzok and former FBI Director James @Comey
One person who has already been criminally referred to the Justice Department was Christopher Steele, the author of the controversial Trump dossier.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., referred Steele in January 2018 on the suspicion that he made false statements to federal authorities about the distribution of the dossier, which contained unverified claims about President Trump's ties to Russia.
Nunes said Wednesday that to this day Congress has not heard any updates from the DOJ on the Steele referral.
He also said he thinks it will take a new attorney general to come in and "clean" up before any real progress can be made and for the American people to start regaining "confidence in what's happening."
Trump's AG nominee William Barr is expected to be confirmed next week.
