Devon Nunes calling for a investigation of officials and activists who exposed Russian meddling

[RandySF]

California Republican Devin Nunes is doubling down on efforts to go after the people who investigated Donald Trump’s collusion with Russia in the 2016 campaign, the Washington Times reports.

As head of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Nunes wants to target the people who were involved in the Steele Dossier which exposed Trump’s dealings with Russian intelligence and helped lead to the revelation that Donald Trump Jr. colluded with Russian intelligence agents to try to get dirt on Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Nunes is asking two other committees in the Republican-lead congress to call Obama administration officials, FBI agents and outside political activists to offer public testimony. He ha a list of 42 people including FBI agents, Justice Department and State Department officials and anti-Trump activists with whom they communicated.

Among the people the Times says Nunes wants to target are Glenn Simpson, who founded Fusion GPS, the firm that wrote the bombshell Steele dossier.

He also wants to investigate Robby Mook, Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager who is now a CNN analyst. Mook was one of the first Clinton allies to blame Russia as behind the hacking of Democratic Party computers.

1. Is there a chance this boob can be voted out in November?

He can't GET more complicit (than perhaps Mitch McConnell). I'm not a fan of having the rule of law being smashed to bits on a daily basis.

[Garrett78]

15. A chance, yes, but it's not likely. The San Joaquin Valley is quite red.

If Nunes loses, Democrats have had one hell of a night.

[RainCaster]

20. They must like traitors down there

If they are keeping that bastard

[Garrett78]

21. Trump won that district by 9.5 points. Romney won it by 15. And McCain won it by more than 21.

So, it's moving in the right (er, left) direction.

[rzemanfl]

2. Devon is an asshole. n/t

[Dennis Donovan]

3. He HAS to be up to his ears in campaign rubles...

...and he knows his goose is cooked!

[Vinca]

4. Please, please, please let there be an indictment in this guy's future.

[47of74]

31. Along with a very long stay at ADX Florence

[northremembers]

5. Or, we could just vote him out of office.

Nunes is a poster boy for why Republicans should be voted out everywhere. Punishing people for pointing out there is a crime is the opposite of freedom.

[manor321]

6. Stunning

Also, it didn't start with the dossier. The FBI was aware of issues before the dossier.

[dhill926]

7. only in an Orwellian world....

could Nunes be head of the Committee on Intelligence.....

[oasis]

8. Devin Nunes is up to his ears with his involvement with the Russians.

He'd do anything to misdirect the investigation. Why not?

[Iliyah]

9. Is not the Washington Times a right wing newspaper?

[smirkymonkey]

10. Hey Devin!

Just wait. Your time is coming soon.

[Wellstone ruled]

11. Wow,quoting Stalin eh!

Wonder if Brooks Brothers sells Athletic Prison Garb in his size.

[wishstar]

12. Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS already gave extensive testimony and full transcripts were released

Obviously Nunes wants to drum up loud distractions where rightwingers can grandstand making accusations that the investigation is merely politically motivated in order to shore up base and take attention away from Manafort trial and future Mueller indictments

[MattP]

13. The oxymoron runs strong in the GOP almost as strong as the moron I mean Lamar Smith heads up scienc

[mnmoderatedem]

14. no one goes to these extremes

unless they have something to hide.

[Frustratedlady]

16. He's as crazy as the Golden Glob. What's his problem? We can no longer expose the truth?

Hang it up, Nunes! You are continuing to look guilty, yourself. Do you need to learn solitaire or cribbage so you have something to do with your spare time coming up in a few months? Maybe 5 to 10 years worth?

[Freethinker65]

17. Devin must know it looks more likely the GOP will lose the house

He has limited time to try to save himself and Trump.

Once the house is lost, Devin's usefulness will be greatly diminished and he may well find himself under the bus. He is in survival mode.

[world wide wally]

18. He's going to turn them in to.the Russian authorities

[SummerSnow]

19. Is he mad that Russia was exposed?

if he was around when Joe McCarthy was senator he would be dragged into a Senate hearing for that comment and called a commie

[Bernardo de La Paz]

22. They can't shoot the message, so they try to shoot the messenger. Proof they are desperate. . . nt

[True Blue American]

23. If we elect a Democratic House Nunes will no longer be in charge

Guess who will?

[Gothmog]

24. From Andrew Janz-Nunes will be upset

Link to tweet

[BigmanPigman]

25. Perfect Janz!

[William Seger]

26. Democrats should demand that Nunes resign the committee chair

Not that he would, of course, but his outrageous abuse and undermining of the committee's purpose deserves a forceful response.

[wryter2000]

27. If we win the House,

He’s no longer chair of anything. We can have hearings on him

[Scarsdale]

28. How, in the name of

all that is holy did someone like Nunes get onto an "Intelligence Committee"?? Whiny baby needs to stop kissing tRump's arse, and get out of politics.

[BlueSea]

29. Indictment please

Along with McConnell, Nunes is complicit in this mess. He's such a little sniveling shit.

He's Trump's little lap dog, who needs to be neutered. I'll volunteer to cut them off. With a rusty blade.

[ailsagirl]

30. I'll help ya

[debsy]

32. call his office.

If nobody answers, call one of his local CA offices. Complain about him being complicit to treason and tell him to get out of the way of the Russia investigation.

[Kurt V.]

33. this is what marcy wheeler is talking about.
