Nunes sees no intel for FBI probe on Trump campaign-Russia collusion

House Intelligent Committee Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes received and reviewed "electronic communication" documents by the FBI and Justice Department regarding the possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia over the 2016 presidential election.

Nunes (R-Calif.) cited the Five Eyes agreement to determine that no intelligence information was used in the investigation. The agreement is between the U.S., Canada, U.K. Australia and New Zealand--they make up the "Five Eyes" or nations that share intel in a closely trusted fashion than in other partnerships, due to years of trust and common language.

"We are not supposed to spy on each other's citizens, and it's worked well," Nunes said. "And it continues to work well. And we know it's working well because there was no intelligence that passed through the Five Eyes channels to our government. And that's why we had to see that original communication."

So if that's the case, what exactly sparked the Trump campaign-Russia investigation if not the Steele dossier?
