Devin Nunes

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment, though I am not opposed. The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Lamborn). Without objection, the gentleman from California is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.

I want to thank the chairman and the ranking member for allowing this bill to come up today. I rise in support of H.R. 805, the Tulare Youth Recreation and Women's History Enhancement Act. This bill simply removes a Federal revisionary…

If any of that is true, if they ran a spy ring or an informant ring and they were paying people within the Trump campaign, if any of that is true, that is an absolute red line.

Political dirt was used by the FBI, and they knew it was political dirt, to open a counterintelligence investigation into the other campaign.

What I've read seems to me to be some level of surveillance activity, perhaps legal, but I don't know that it's right, and I don't know that the American people would be comfortable with what I've read.

What they're doing is they're giving Donald Trump cover. That's what Devin Nunes has been doing when he rushed to say and attack the FBI and the Justice Department in the way they had handled this investigation.

Democracy dies in darkness, my friend.

Having stonewalled Congress' demands for information for nearly a year, it's no surprise to see the FBI and DOJ issue spurious objections to allowing the American people to see information related to surveillance abuses at these agencies.

I will just be really brief today. I want to thank all of my colleagues. There are a lot of strong opinions on both sides of the aisle on this issue, and we have taken many steps at the House Intelligence Committee to take Members out to…

I claim the time in opposition to the motion. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from California is recognized for 5 minutes.

I send to the desk a concurrent resolution and ask unanimous consent for its immediate consideration in the House. The Clerk read the title of the concurrent resolution. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the…

I stood here several weeks ago to speak in support of the original House-passed tax reform bill. Since then, as a member of the conference committee, I have participated in the process of strengthening this bill and making it even more…

On the legislative day of Thursday, November 2, 2017, I was unavoidably detained and was unable to cast a vote on a rollcall vote. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yes'' on rollcall No. 604. Stated against:

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, this 15- minute vote on passage of H.R. 3180 will be followed by a 5-minute vote on passage of S. 114. The vote…

I want to thank the gentleman, Mr. Himes, for his kind comments, and I reserve the balance of my time.

I wasn't aware it is your birthday, but happy birthday, and I continue to reserve the balance of my time.

I have no further speakers, and I reserve the balance of my time to close.

I thank Mr. McClintock for yielding me the time and for his kind words. Mr. Chairman, I am not going to respond to the other side of the aisle because some things that are said on this floor are so ridiculous that they don't deserve a…

On the legislative day of Thursday, June 29, 2017, I was unable to cast a vote on a number of rollcall votes. Had I been present, I would have voted: Rollcall 341--``Nay.'' Rollcall 342--``Yea.'' Rollcall 343--``Nay.'' Rollcall…

We don't have evidence that that took place. And in fact, I don't believe just in the last week of time, the people we talk to, I don't think there's an actual tap of Trump Tower.

Were the communications of officials or associates of any campaign subject to any kind of improper surveillance? The intelligence community has extremely strict procedures for handling information pertaining to any U.S. citizens who are…

Let me be clear: I've been saying this for several weeks. We know there was not a physical wiretap of Trump Tower. However, it's still possible that other surveillance activities were used against President Trump and his associates.

I recently confirmed that on numerous occasions, the intelligence community incidentally collected information about U.S. citizens involved in the Trump transition.

We have already talked about all of this ad nauseam. And the issues are really, critically important when it relates to American citizens who could have been picked up in incidental collection. And you guys should all take that very…

We can't have McCarthyism back in this place. We can't have the government -- the U.S. government and/or the Congress, legislative branch of government chasing down American citizens, hauling them before the Congress as if there is some…
