Why the Nunes memo is a very big deal

Cillizza: How normal (or not) is a memo like this one — produced by the majority on the House Intelligence Committee that lots of intelligence officials haven't even seen?

Cordero: Highly unusual. Unprecedented, in fact. In my 18 years of professional and academic involvement with the Intelligence Community I have not observed HPSCI release a document using this procedure, and I am not aware of its having been used in the past (although I expect intelligence community historians to be hard at work this week).
The context is that information that is provided to the intelligence oversight committees is information provided by the executive branch of government. And, in circumstances when the intelligence committees write reports based on information provided by the community, they work with the relevant intelligence community agencies to review the reports and declassify information. That's why sometimes the committees produce reports that include both an unclassified report for public consumption, and a separate, classified version.

3. Did he forget he represents the people of CA and not Drumpf

Nunes is a buffoon with all the trimmings. I cannot believe that the people in CA have yet issued a recall petition to have him ousted. This man, instead of running the business of CA, he is running on a leash for Drumpf. And now Nunez has hitched on Matt Gaetz from FL and Jim Jordan from OH to his nutty wagon. What a complete embarassment for the country. These idiots want to promote an ideology that is traitorous and dangerous. We can and will do better than this in November, we have no choice..

4. Nunes has been acting quite suspiciously

from the time this whole thing started.

Remember the "midnight run" to the White House?
