Imagine a more competent, non-clownish Nunes, who is every bit as corrupt, just better at hiding it.

I'm not sure who exactly pointed it out, and as I said, mentioned in passing as they are going over the report page by page.

It says that White House Counsel's Office was briefed by Senator Burr on the existence of "4-5" targets (from the FBI's investigations)...
