House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member and Trump transition advisor Devin Nunes (R-CA), who prematurely shut down his committee's Russia probe and declared no collusion, wants Special Counsel Robert Mueller to have to make public every piece of evidence collected in the course of his investigation.
The California Republican, in an appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference alongside Tom Fitton, president of the right-wing activist group Judicial Watch, prefaced his proposal by saying he doesn’t believe “Mueller has any report to put out that would be worthwhile, with anything new.”
But, the California Republican said, “If he does put out a report, you're gonna see people claiming, 'Oh we have to have this public, it's got to be made public.' That's fine. But I want everything that Mueller did made public. I want email, I want everybody that they wiretapped, every warrant that they got, every single thing that Mueller used needs to be made public for all of America to see."
He contextualized his argument by saying that he didn’t necessarily disagree with Fitton, who had just told the audience that “this Justice Department has no business writing reports on the president’s conduct as president.”
Fitton claimed without evidence that Mueller’s investigators are “anti-Trumpers,” saying they don’t need to be writing “another shady dossier.”

While Nunes on Friday said he wanted all of Mueller’s evidence disclosed, he seemed to acknowledge that the Justice Department probably wouldn't do so willingly, based on its reluctance to meet Nunes' previous demands to declassify certain documents in the probe.
“I think the White House is going to ultimately have to get involved in declassifying all documents,” he said.
