Devin Nunes says he's leaving Congress by the end of the year
Source: CNN
"I'm writing to let you know I've decided to pursue this opportunity, and therefore I will be leaving the House of Representatives at the end of 2021," Nunes said in a letter to his constituents.
Moments after his statement, the Trump Media & Technology Group released its own saying Nunes would be its chief executive officer.
Nunes, who faced the threat of a more-Democratic district through redistricting ahead of next year's midterms, is a close ally of former President Donald Trump. He previously served as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee when Republicans were in the majority, during which he led efforts among Trump's allies to discredit the FBI's Russia investigation and Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe.

Our Democratic Gov. gets to name his replacement!!!
House seats aren't filled by appointment - that's only for the Senate. House seats must be filled by special elections.

(5,124 posts)If this was a legit thing, you would want someone with expertise. Youd be courting someone from Facebook or Google or other tech company who knows what they are doing. But since this another con, of course he gets a boot licker who wont question anything.

He must have programmed his un-targeted calls to grift one last time while sitting in Congress.

(1,896 posts)Now we know TFG's media interest is now the Nune's Cow.
Is TFG's past tendancies of buying cows for beanstalk seeds something that Nunes's has considered. Does the prospect of having a goose that lays golden eggs outweigh the risks of getting run over by that career destroying bus? ettd

(24,303 posts)will be running Trump's media company. Wonderful.
Although seriously, I think the story about one billion being raised is total bullshit and the company will never get off the ground, and if it does it will fail like everything Trump has ever done.

(3,395 posts)The money given to the buffoon is being investigated, if it came from some foreign country it will represent a threat to the USA, knowing that the buffoon sells himself so easy.
Now, if the DOJ (and I pray that Garland wakes up) finds the money coming from a foreign country, his media company may not take off, so Nunes may be out of office and out of a job as well, that would be perfect. Although Nunes may not know that he is most probably working for free (the buffoon doesn't like to pay), if the media company ever gets off the ground.
