A Judicial Watch report that FBI agents came to the home of former FBI Director James Comey to remove documents from his home point to potential illegal activity, Rep. Devin Nunes said Thursday.
"You just can't do that," the California Democrat told Fox News' "America's Newsroom."
"So what Hillary Clinton did, is she had a server in her house with classified information on it. That's illegal. The same is true for a document, especially if you purposely take a document . . . people have been busted for way less than that, I will tell you for sure."
On Wednesday, Judicial Watch revealed it had received six pages from the FBI that showed in June 2017, a month after President Donald Trump fired Comey, the agents came to his house and collected four memos detailing Comey's talks with Trump "as evidence." One memo was written on June 6, the night before the FBI came to Comey's home, the report said.
"This is why the report -- if the reports are true about having to send a spill team, a spill team would only be sent to collect this classified information," said Nunes. "You cannot take classified documents out of any controlled space and put them somewhere and store them in an uncontrolled space."
Meanwhile, Nunes said the upcoming investigation into the origins of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation will allow the FBI to speak with people who are no longer working at the Department of Justice, and that will mean a "real investigation."
