ANECDOTE

Nunes Investigation

In 2017, Devin Nunes' House Intelligence Committee investigated Russia-gate.
They uncovered a broad espionage campaign and manufactured intelligence story but couldn't report it due to classification.

INSIGHT

Pre-constructed Narrative

The Russia-gate narrative, starting with Joseph Mifsud, was a pre-constructed narrative.
The CIA had foreign allies spy on Trump's team before the FBI investigation, contradicting prior claims.

INSIGHT

Illegal Surveillance

The surveillance of Trump's team was illegal and politically motivated.
It targeted inexperienced individuals who wouldn't see it coming.
