Nunes on Halper: "We were the ones that found this Office of Net Assessments money, we had sources that had come to us and said that there was an odd amount of money, hundreds of thousands of dollars that was moving through this organization, and we began that investigation"

Nunes: "This guy Halper was not a "spy", he just helped Christopher Steele make things up. All of what they did--they had no sources. He [Halper] did phony reports
All of this needs to be investigated"

Nunes: "Why, at the time, the Deputy AG Rosenstein and the FBI Director Wray-when Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and I, and Trey Gowdy went in and asked about this situation-they played dumb, they didn't know anything about this, they had no idea, they've never heard of anybody"

Nunes: "We said: who is this, what is this, who is this person [Halper], what's going on here? Crickets! They would not say anything!
Now you look back. What did they know? What did they know at that time?
Did they know hundreds of thousands of dollars had gone missing?

Nunes: "This has been two years ago now, when we first discovered there might be a problem at the Office of Net Assessments-part of the Department of Defense-that they were using taxpayer dollars ultimately not to spy, to make up nonsense that they then took in...

..the dirty cops took in to open an investigation on the President of the United States that ultimately became the special prosecutor. That was in full motion. Remember at that time period, in early 2018, that was in full motion,

...and we as investigators were bringing this information to the leadership, hoping that the DOJ and the FBI would say hey we have a problem here, we need to do something else but, of course, history shows that they didn't do it."
