Is the Devin N. thing a smokescreen or really an issue?....

[samnsara]

....a lot of chatter but what will come of it except keeping our eyes OFF the ball?

1. Doesn't seem to be an issue many others care about. I imagine if they find out who leaked Flynn

it will matter a bit more, but Nunes' stuff, while maybe inappropriate, won't amount to much.

2. It was a lie to cover the Trump lie about "wiretaps" and the lie has gotten out of control

He can't keep track of all his lies.

3. Weird question. Do you mean is there nothing to see here as to

having an investigation of Trump and Russia?

If you mean we should focus on an independent investigation because it is VERY obvious there is collusion here, then fine.

But how do we get there if all of the GOP is willing to run interference for the espionage being committed?

4. I think Nunes was there to keep everything on track.....

or rather, to keep things going in a favorable direction for the Thugs. He blew it. Big time. Now all his BS is out there, he has zero credibility and everything he's ever done is under intense scrutiny. I imagine there are some WH folks who are not happy. Some Russians too.

5. Nunes increased the change we will get a special prosecutor.

By about 10-15 % in my estimation. That is serious damage to Trump/Putin coming from one man. Hurray Nunes!



I am beginning to wonder if Nunes wants to unload the Russia coverup on some other poor Republican stooge whom the Russians are blackmailing. Many Republicans are acting as of they are being coerced into protecting Trump's sorry ass and would much rather be doing anything else.

That's the problem with blackmail. It does not create highly motivated team players.

6. One row down and to the left on your keyboard.

7. It's another piece of the puzzle.

The issue isn't whether or not Trump committed treason. The question is how did he get away with it? And who allowed it to happen? And how deep does this conspiracy go? The more the pieces are unveiled, the more it's painting a picture that the entire party is involved and it's going to get really ugly. Our whole government has been compromised by these treasonous thugs, and it's going to take a long time to sort out what's real and what isn't. Every level of the government has been compromised from top to bottom with the intent of total destruction.

8. No it's really an issue

He's the chair of the committee investigating this in the House. Was on Trump's transition team. Looks like he may have tipped off people under investigation. Possibly could be under investigation himself. We just don't know. Sure he can't air it all publicly-- but the other members of his committee should be informed and they are saying they weren't. Not just the Democrats but also the Republicans.
