Devin Nunes spent four years in Congress telling America the Russia collusion hoax was a fabrication.
They called him a conspiracy theorist, leaked against him, and ran a smear campaign to destroy his credibility.
He went on Fox News to reveal the people who built that hoax are finally running out of road.
The Nunes Memo Proved the Steele Dossier Was a Fraud
When Devin Nunes chaired the House Intelligence Committee in 2017, he started exposing a fact that Washington desperately wanted buried.
The intelligence community had no real evidence Vladimir Putin wanted Trump to win.
He said so publicly, and the media called him a stooge.
Democrats demanded his removal.
Former CIA Director John Brennan – privately forcing the discredited Steele Dossier into a classified intelligence report – was publicly attacking Nunes on television.
DNI Tulsi Gabbard has since declassified the Nunes report, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence confirmed what Nunes argued for years: Obama's team cooked the intelligence to build a false narrative.
Five analysts produced the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment under direct White House pressure.
Veteran CIA officers objected to including the bogus Steele Dossier.
Brennan forced it in anyway.
When confronted with the dossier's flaws, he reportedly told CIA officers: "Yes, but doesn't it ring true?"
That document became the fuel for Mueller, for two impeachments, for the Mar-a-Lago raid, for four criminal indictments against a sitting president.
"This hoax is ongoing," Nunes told Bartiromo Sunday. "This is a conspiracy that's gone on for a decade."
Why the Comey Subpoena in Florida Is Different From the Indictment That Got Thrown Out
Former FBI Director James Comey's first indictment in Virginia collapsed on a procedural flaw – the interim U.S. attorney's appointment was ruled unlawful and the charges were thrown out.
Democrats said it proved the whole thing was a witch hunt.
They were wrong.
The new subpoena out of the Southern District of Florida is not a retry of that narrow charge.
U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones has issued over 130 subpoenas – pulling in Brennan, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and Andrew McCabe – and is threading the entire decade into a single prosecutable conspiracy.
Brennan lied to Congress in 2023 about his role in the Steele Dossier – well within the five-year window.
When you charge a conspiracy rather than individual acts, every co-conspirator's conduct across the full decade – including Crossfire Hurricane – comes back into play.
The exit door that saved Comey in Virginia does not exist in this case.
Brennan's lawyers have been bracing for indictment for months.
They are still bracing.
Brennan Comey Strzok and 130 Subpoenas – the Conspiracy Charges Nunes Said Were Coming
Nunes made clear on Fox News that the subpoenas are just the beginning.
De-weaponize the agencies, get every document public, then let prosecutors work – that is the mission Trump handed Nunes and his team at the President's Intelligence Advisory Board.
The declassified record tells the story in hard detail.
In the months before Trump won in November 2016, the intelligence community's own assessments said Russia was not trying to influence the election through cyber means.
On December 7, 2016 – weeks after the election – former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper's talking points stated flat-out that foreign adversaries had not used cyberattacks to alter the outcome.
The next day a Presidential Daily Brief told Obama the same thing.
Then Clapper's assistant fired off an email ordering a brand new assessment at the president's personal request.
Twenty-nine days later, everything the intelligence community had concluded for six straight months was reversed.
Nunes told host Maria Bartiromo the damage stretched far beyond Trump's inner circle.
"It's dozens and dozens of people who lost everything," he said – campaign aides, advisers, and intelligence officers whose careers were destroyed to protect a lie he proved false in 2018.
He made one more point that cuts deeper than the legal case.
Weaponizing intelligence doesn’t just hurt the political targets.
It hollows out the actual mission – tracking terrorists, monitoring adversaries, giving policymakers accurate information about a dangerous world.
When your CIA director forces internet rumors into classified assessments for political reasons, America becomes genuinely less safe.
Nunes was right about all of it – eight years ago and again Sunday morning.
The 130 subpoenas are his receipt.
