Devin Nunes is Chairman of the Intelligence Committee that is investigating this.
He is 100% Trumpdog loyal.
He has given contradictory statements, disclosed classified information to the public and has been observed meeting on White House grounds in an attempt to keep the president "informed" on issues under investigation.
He has been asked to step down by other members due to his obvious inability to remain impartial in this investigation.
He refuses to do so.
Ha, I know that when Amy Schumer's favourite unclue, Chuck Schumer, is not berating Manhattan restaurant goers, he is going to do his very best to denounce all Republican's and everything they do. You know IF the Democrats were in the same position that the Democrats are in, The Republicans would likely be doing the same. It's what the opposition party does.
The truth is that there are three issues that are being too often conflated. There is an issue of surveillance/wiretapping/spying on one Candidate/President Elect's administration by the outgoing President's Administration, There are the leaks out of the White House and there are the accusations of Trump and his team colluding with the Russians to influence the outcome of the election.
Devin Nunes DID report the findings of one of those investigations to Trump. President Trump as the Commander in Chief of the nation is certainly in a need to know position. Now here is the thing. Liberals and Democrats, do not like that Trump is able to be informed. They want him powerless, uninformed, or misinformed and throttled. Devin Nunes is simply treating him like thePresident of the United States of America, which he actually is, despite any wishings that he was not. That does not make Devin Nunes incompetent, nor a Trumpdog and it would be wrong to assert that.
I actually have an idea that Democrats and many Liberals do not actually care too much about what if President Trump does a bad job. If he does a bad job, then they will have something to point to and the Republicans that he is hanging onto with his fingernails will round on him. Sentiment from his fan base will turn against him. He may get impeached and he may get impeached. 2018 would be a big one in the mid-year elections and both the Republicans and the Democrats would block near on anything he said......................If he did a bad job. All of that would be great for the leaderless Democrats, right?
Now let's look at things the other way. What if, despite every accusation and smear, he did a GREAT job? How are those mid-years going to go? How credible will those Liberal Talking Heads look? How strong will the Democratic party look? How disempowered would Trump be? How disempowered would the Republican party be?
I think the Democrats are shitting themselves that he will be a great President. Personally, I think the court is out. Too early and he ha not been given a enough free rope to see if he hangs himself or does something impressive.
I really think that the Democrats need to really be a little less on the attack and be a little more self-reflective. They need to organise who is going to lead them. There are so many losers amoung them (plenty on the other side too BUT the other side has all the power). Bernie, Warren, Waters and Pelosi and old kooks and have embarrassed themselves.
I think that the young blood up and coming is the best (that does not include Franken - I thought he had potential and he kept being silly). Old Joe Biden? Too old. Chuck Schumer? I have mixed feelings. I give him a little more rope than the others because he is half-way bright and has a very difficult job. He is disingenuous and all but he has a difficult position. Keith Ellison is a radical. I think Booker and Duckworth are amoung the better ones. I think Booker being young and without a history of making an ass out of himself MAY be teh ticket if he sticks with his moderate voice and is in it for the long haul.
