For nearly a decade, Americans watched in dismay as their own intelligence agencies were seemingly transformed into political battering rams. The infamous Russia collusion narrative from the 2016 election cast a dark shadow over American politics, nearly tarnishing President Trump’s reputation and his administration’s first term. This scandal was more than just a political squabble; it was akin to a coup attempt from within the country’s own government. But, as in every great saga, there was a hero standing tall amidst the chaos: Devin Nunes.
Devin Nunes, at the time the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, defiantly stood against the prevailing narrative. While others were content to go along to get along, Nunes demanded to see the evidence—a demand that revealed there wasn’t any credible evidence to back up the wild claims of collusion. He exposed the hoax while refusing to be swayed by mounting pressure. However, rather than being lauded for his efforts, Nunes was marginalized by a system unwilling to admit its colossal mistakes.
Despite Congress’s reluctance to embrace him, Nunes has continued to make a name for himself. Now, as the Chairman of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board, he is at the forefront of ensuring such scandalous misuse of power can never happen again. His persistent efforts are finally bringing some much-needed accountability. It’s a glimmer of hope that indicates the tides might finally be turning in favor of truth and justice.
In a bold but necessary move, Tulsi Gabbard, at President Trump’s direction, is involved in the process of revoking security clearances from 37 officials linked to the Russia collusion narrative. The Director of National Intelligence indicated that these individuals had wielded intelligence for political purposes, which is both shocking and unsurprising to those who have been closely following these events. This is not about getting payback—it’s about restoring the integrity of America’s core institutions, ensuring they adhere to their true mission of serving the American people.
Through it all, Devin Nunes remains a steadfast figure in the fight to dismantle what many call the “deep state.” His role, and that of others like him, is pivotal in guiding the FBI and CIA back to their foundational missions. America deserves institutions that work impartially and with integrity—Nunes is leading the charge to see that this vision becomes a reality. It’s a journey fraught with challenges, but one that promises the restoration of public trust in the nation’s most vital agencies.
