Republican California Rep. Devin Nunes has been all over the John Durham investigation and he is expecting major action to be taken.
"We've made 14 criminal referrals to the Department of Justice. I expect every one of those to be looked into. For God sake, the American people, the taxpayers pay for us to do this work. We don't have guns here in Congress, we can't go out and arrest people," he said.
"All we can do is do an exhaustive investigation which we've done despite being stonewalled by the Department of Justice. We've done our job, now we expect Durham to do his job, which I think he is doing" he said.
"I've been saying this for a very long time, and that's largely because he's run a very closed investigation, unlike what you saw with [Robert] Mueller's, and it's an investigation like they should be, where you don't have leaks to the fake news companies."
Durham's investigation led to a grand jury's indictment of Michael Sussman - a lawyer who recently resigned from Perkins Coie - for making a false statement to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Nunes said FBI indictments for making false statements are typically "Used as a secondary charge" due to insufficient confidence in evidence to successfully convicting a suspect on other charges.
Sussman's alleged deception in presenting himself as a concerned citizen in his request for a meeting with the FBI, Nunes assessed, was a textbook example of making false statements to the Bureau.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
