Nunes Not Aware of Any Previous Time HPSCI Subpoenaed Phone Records |
2019-12-06 |
[AMGREATNESS] Rep Devin Nunes (R-CA) explained on Fox News Wednesday night how House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff![]() (D-CA) obtained the phone records of President Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani. Nunes told host Tucker Carlson that as far as he knew, the action the Democrats took to spy on the president’s allies was unprecedented and that he was considering "legal remedies" to protect his civil rights. Democrats obtained the phone records as part of their impeachment inquiry and according to critics, in possible violation of basic civil liberties. "When Democrats gained control, they had subpoena power," Nunes, the ranking Republican on the Intel Committee, said. He explained that Schiff had informed the minority that he had subpoenaed some telephone numbers, but did not disclose who the numbers belonged to, and because everything was being done secretly in the congressional SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility), no one was allowed to talk about it. When asked who was subpoenaed, Nunes explained that Democrats subpoenaed AT&T, which handed over the records without a fight. "Why would AT&T give those up?" Carlson asked in horror. "That’s a good question," Nunes replied. "AT&T should have at least gone to court to try to see if what they were going to do was the right thing." "Could they do that with my phone records or your phone records?" Carlson wondered. "It appears like they could," Nunes replied. "If Adam Schiff wants to go out and subpoena ... they’ve now set a precedent." He explained that Schiff could try it again with any other number, "send it to AT&T, and AT&T is going to comply."
