Ex-CIA Chief of Staff: Other House Intel Committee Members Likely Horrified Over Nunes Actions
Source: Mediaite
Following House Intelligence Committee Chair Devin Nunes’ press conference on his briefing of President Donald Trump over his finding of “incidentally collected” communications of Trump transition members, a former CIA chief of staff lit into the Republican lawmaker over his actions.
MSNBC security analyst Jeremy Bash noted that he served as counsel to the House Intelligence Committee in the past while pointing out that he “never heard of a chairman of an oversight committee going to brief the President of the United States about concerns he had about things he read in an intelligence report.”
“The job of the committee is to do oversight of the executive branch,” Bash exclaimed. “Not to bring them into their investigation or to tip them off to things they may be looking at.”
He continued, “I’ve gotta believe that other members of the committee are horrified at what they just witnessed. This is a chairman that’s supposed to be doing impartial, bipartisan investigations of the president’s inner circle and instead he basically goers and tells the president and his team everything he knows.”
At the presser, Nunes was asked if he was providing “political cover” to Trump regarding the president’s tweets earlier this month that his predecessor wiretapped Trump Tower prior to the election.

and amazing it has gone this long - perhaps because it appealed to the intellectuals who found in the long run, it was "good for business". And history has shown that it has been - bringing the best and the brightest in the world here to "contribute" (and have this country "take credit"
for the brilliance that made this nation excel (in some things).
However when you have a mix of the "sincerely ignorant" with those who are "conscientiously stupid" (to paraphrase MLK), therein lies the danger. And couple that with those who know the system but were willing to gamble for a short-term advantage by throwing caution to the wind to MIHOP or LIHOP to obtain what they perceived as a long-term gain, they are themselves now ensnared (and thus blackmailed) to keep up the ruse this late in the game.
outraged....nothing has happened to this POS yet.....
