Nunes’ meeting with the gang of 8 ended at 3:30 PM EST.
Adam Schiff wasted no time releasing an absurd statement after the meeting.
Schiff is spinning like a top.
Chad Pergram reported: Schiff after Gang of 8 mtg: I won’t be able to take any questions today, but I’ve been asked to read a brief statement on behalf of Senator Schumer, Leader Pelosi, Vice Chairman Warner and myself.

Schiff then claimed he has seen no evidence a spy was planted inside of Trump’s camp.
Pergram tweeted: Schiff: Today’s Gang of 8 briefing was conducted to ensure protection of sources and methods..Nothing we heard today has changed our view that there is no evidence to support any allegation that the FBI or any intelligence agency placed a spy in the Trump campaign

Chad Pergram also reported it is “very murky” as to what was discussed in Thursday’s Gang of 8 and DOJ meetings. Will there be leaks? It is unclear whether lawmakers were briefed on matters or were actually presented with documents and or evidence.
Very murky as to what was discussed in Gang of 8 DoJ mtgs today. Question is…on the verge of a holiday weekend, will there be leaks? Also, were the lawmakers simply briefed on matters or were they actually presented with documents/evidence during the mtgs?

Update at 4:40 PM EST : Nunes and Gowdy DID NOT get the documents they requested:
Sources tell me Gowdy and Nunes did not receive the documents they requested during the noon meeting at DOJ, despite the pleas for openness from Kelly and Flood at the start of the briefing

It’s important to note leaker and liar Adam Schiff went into Thursday’s meeting hours after tweeting these blatant lies about the Deep State spying campaign on Trump:
False statements about wiretaps at Trump Tower.
False statements about unmasking.
False statesments about a political spy in the Trump campaign.
False statements about the Mueller investigation that has indicted the President’s top staff.
It’s not spy-gate, only lie-gate.

Someone needs to tell Schiffty that his fellow leakers and liars, James Clapper and James Comey both admitted spies were planted inside of Trump’s camp.
Clapper has now admitted that there was Spying in my campaign. Large dollars were paid to the Spy, far beyond normal. Starting to look like one of the biggest political scandals in U.S. history. SPYGATE – a terrible thing!
