Report says Nunes got a call, ditched his aides, went on night time "excursion"

Time for someone to have his phone records subpoenaed....this happened the night before he went running to the WH.

According to The Daily Beast, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) was traveling in an Uber with an aide Tuesday night when he received a call on his cell phone and then left the car, giving no indication where he was going. The abrupt departure by Nunes was verified by three committee officials and a former national security official.

And who was that Uber driver? There's something really smelly about that part.

It was reported this morning on AMJOY that Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) is a co-owner in a winery with a Russian businessman who is very, very close to Putin. How can this man be chairman let alone a congressman with his wallet being so close to Putin?

Or, in the very least, has a conflict of interest due to his participation as a vital member of the Trump transition team?

so he could go meet with Bannon, so that Little Squealer Nunes could be given the fabricated story for his performance the next day of course.

Schiff is getting too much attention. Trump and Bannon had to do something lame the committee.

How could committee officials (plural) verify anything if only one aide was with him at the time? And if this did occur, then the aide with him is the only person who could have reported this.

So then I'm right about being wrong.

Given Nunes' behavior/comments perhaps the intel agencies are keeping tabs on him...he is part of the drumf klan and was part of the transition team. I imagine the agencies are keeping close track of the whole klans' movements/communications nowadays.

I suspect everything we need to know is ensconced in his telephone, including GPS.

12. Flynn secretly met Turkish officials to plan illegal dead of night extradition of fugitive cleric

Better title. Yet, the word Kidnapping should be in the Headline IMHO!




Mike Flynn secretly met Turkish officials to plan illegal ‘dead of night’ extradition of fugitive cleric
https://www.rawstory.com/2017/03/mike-flynn-secretly-met-turkish-officials-to-plan-illegal-dead-of-night-extradition-of-fugitive-cleric/



......................Former CIA Director James Woolsey said that he attended a secret meeting in September with ousted Trump national security adviser Adm. Mike Flynn to plan a covert operation to “whisk away” a fugitive cleric and hand him over to Turkey’s authoritarian government.

The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that Woolsey and other people present at the meeting confirmed that Flynn was coordinating with officials from the cabinet of right-wing Turkish Pres. Recep Tayyip Erdogan in anticipation of extraditing Fethullah Gulen back to Turkey should Trump win the presidency.

The “dead of night” operation was intended to circumvent normal U.S. extradition laws, Woolsey said. The meeting took place on Sep. 19, and Woolsey said he arrived late only to be startled and alarmed that the discussion was treading into potentially illegal territory.

The plan, according to Woolsey, was “a covert step in the dead of night to whisk this guy away.” Gulen is wanted in Turkey for allegedly aiding last summer’s failed military coup against the Erdogan regime.

The call was from his good comrade, Sergey Kislyak, inwiting him to Russian Embassy for a late nite cocktail -- a beer and a shot -- and Sergey's driver would deliwer him directly to secret gate at embassy.

Nothing to see here. Move along.
