Nunes thing mystifies.

[gibraltar72]

I know he's dumb as a box of rocks. But I can only assume info was classified. Why would he put himself in that jackpot? If he's that dumb that is a horrible reflection on Rs governance. I would assume he's looking at charges.

[The empressof all]

1. Wasn't he part of the transition team?

Wonder if he got "caught"

[randome]

2. If he panicked because of possible indictment...

...and he realizes the enormity of today's fuck-up, then he seriously needs to be on suicide watch.

3. He's part of the team. If Trump goes down, he goes down.

[liberal N proud]

4. In normal situation he would be looking at charges

But this is no longer a normally governed country, corruption is king.

5. keep in mind a few things about the modern republican

#1, they're all about p.r.

#2, they're completely inept at government because they fundamentally don't believe in good governance.
all government is good for is taxing people, the more the non-rich, the better (while letting democrats take the blame; see item #1), to build up a fat treasury to loot, via tax breaks and such for contributors who kick back 1%. so all they care about once they're in is paying off their donors. and advancing p.r. to preserve their power.


moreover, their p.r. has become highly distorted over the last couple decades in particular, thanks to gerrymandering in house districts and the balkanization of the media, particularly due to foxnews and hate radio.


which leads to crazy results like nunes compromising an investigation and putting himself at risk of prosecution just for the sake of giving their party leader and others in the party a possible one-day news cycle talking point.

6. Wonder if he's worried about losing everything he has?

According to the Los Angeles Times he has $50,000 of his own money tied up in the winery, which is remarkable considering that the same report lists his total net worth at just $51,002. In other words, the winery is all Nunes has.

7. I think spanone's analysis is 100% correct:

Here's what today's political stunt was all about.....imho

And then there was the Trump PAC fund-raising letter that was sent out minutes after Nunes was done.

8. He was talking about classified intelligence reports? He's not nearly as clever and careful as

Comey is in avoiding a hint of exposure of classified info. He said several things that sounded 'careless' and 'reckless'.

Let's see if Trey Gowdy has 12 months of hearings over that carelessness.
