Malcolm Nance’s words should send a shiver down the spine of those who are involved in the Trump Russia conspiracy plot as well as those Republicans who are enabling it.
“To anyone who may have been part of the plot? They’re (the FBI) going to find out and they (the people who colluded with Russia) are going to regret it,” counterterrorism analyst and intelligence expert Malcolm Nance said on MSNBC’s Deadline Whitehouse with Nicole Wallace.

“It’s the spy hunters of the United States who are investigating this case,†the intelligence expert told Wallace.
Wallace asked Nance if Trump firing Comey affects the FBI’s morale and if it would impact the investigation. Nance said, “Nothing happens to their investigation.”
“This particular division of the FBI these are people who hunt Americas enemies within the United States,” the counterterrorism expert explained. “This is not a normal investigation of the FBI by any stretch of the imagination. They are looking for Americans or foreign espionage officers who have had communications and affected this cyber warfare operations against the United States. They’re not going to let this up.”
Asked if they will double down in response to the interference with their investigation, Nance answered, “Oh, yeah, that’s exactly what’s going to happen. These guys are bloodhounds… Any kind of obstruction of justice, that’s felony for them.”
“I think this is only going to deepen their determination to get to the truth,” Nance continued. “The President could have been absolved of all of this we don’t know, but when they get to the bottom of it, whoever is in the way, anyone who’s had any contact with any foreign intelligence, anyone that may be a part of a plot, they’re going to find out and they’re going to regret it.â€
Boom. That’s a warning shot to the worms waiting to turn and to Republicans who are enabling and shielding the people behind this attack on the United States.
The FBI has got this, no matter how often Donald Trump and his people try to interfere with the Russia investigation. This faction of the FBI is tasked with finding enemies within America.
The President of the United States is being investigated by the faction of the FBI that searches for enemies within.
Republicans need to stop aiding and abetting Donald Trump’s obstruction of justice.
