American Hero Devin Nunes, (R-CA) who is Chairman over the House Intelligence Committee, came forward declaring that he wants 17 current and former FBI or Justice Department officials to testify on Capitol Hill about possible government surveillance abuse during the 2016 election.

According to Catherine Herridge of Fox News, she reports that in a letter obtained, Devin Nunes has requested that the joint task force of the Oversight and Judiciary Committees take steps to interview these officials because they may “have relevant information.”
She noted that the House Intelligence Committee does not have direct oversight over the FBI and the DOJ, so testimony is more likely to be compelled by referring names to the Oversight and Judiciary Committees.
“For the sake of transparency and to keep the American people as fully informed as possible about these matters, the task force should consider interviewing these individuals in an open setting,” Nunes wrote in the Friday letter to House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy and House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte.

Peter Strzok was escorted from FBI headquarters recently, was asked questions behind closed doors in Congress this week over the anti-Trump text messages that he sent while playing a key role in the FBI’s Hillary Clinton and Russia investigations.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz released his report on the handling of the Clinton email investigation, exposing new text messages between Strzok and Lisa Page.
According to Horowitz’s report, Page texted Strzok in August 2016 and said: “[Trump’s] not ever going to become president, right? Right?!”
No. No he won’t. We’ll stop it,” Strzok responded.
