Devin Nunes Somehow Blames Benghazi And Obama For Mar-A-Lago Search
Try that again in English, Devin.
By Conover Kennard August 14, 2022
Truth Social's tech guy, Devin Nunes, took a segment on Fox's Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo to blame e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e except for former President Donald Trump for the investigation into possible espionage. This is kind of painful to listen to or read, but it needs to be shown to highlight the lengths Trump's allies will go to to protect their orange pissdaddy's criminality.
"I think it goes back pre-Russia-gate hoax," Nunes said with a straight face. "I think this goes back to the IRS scandal where they targeted conservatives. I think it goes back to fast and furious during the Obama administration, where they ran guns and tried to set people up, remember? Innocent Americans ended up getting killed. It goes back to Benghazi; they got away with that."
Lord have mercy.
"And it was late 2015 or '16 that we get to the plan where the Clinton campaign worked with dirty cops at DOJ and FBI, and I must say the media, I must say, where they set up to spy on the Trump campaign and, ultimately, Republicans and frame an innocent man that then led to what?" he added. "So that was the Russia hoax that then led to the Mueller witch hunt. So all of this stuff is intertwined."
That... doesn't make any sense. How in TF is any of this intertwined with former President Treason McTraitorFace stealing top secret documents? Devin needs to go back to cow herding because no reasonable person would blame Obama or Hillary for Trump's fuckups. All of that is only "intertwined" if you're desperate and can't come up with a reasonable explanation for Trump's strange behavior.
That's a lot of words, Devin, for, I don't draw a line at espionage. But do go off.

Hoping that the each cultist will find one that they can believe even if each cultist believes a different excuse.
This way - even if they're all not on the same page - at least they all believe Tr**p is being persecuted and blameless.

I think Marcy is implying that some of the top secret docs that ended up at Mar A Lago, may have been purloined by Michael Ellis. Ellis was was promoted to General Counsel of the NSC by TFG just weeks after the 2020 election.
What did Michael Ellis do before he started working for Trump? He worked for Devin Nunes.
In fact, remember when the theformerguy screamed about the NSA and Obama "spying" on him? Remember when Devin Nunes said he had the documents to prove that the "deep state" was "listening in" on poor Donny? Guess who gave him those documents!

A pair of White House officials played a role in providing Representative Devin Nunes of California, a Republican and the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, with the intelligence reports that showed that President Trump and his associates were incidentally swept up in foreign surveillance by American spy agencies.
The revelation that White House officials assisted in the disclosure of the intelligence reports which Mr. Nunes then discussed with President Trump is likely to fuel criticism that the intelligence chairman has been too eager to do the bidding of the Trump administration while his committee is supposed to be conducting an independent investigation of Russias meddling in the last presidential election.
Mr. Nunes has also been faulted by his congressional colleagues for sharing the information with President Trump before consulting with other members of the intelligence committee...
