This has rattling around in my head since the nunes WH stuff started. The next morning it was reported nunes was visibly shaken before the first press conference. And he kind of looks like a deer caught in the headlights all through this. (I know he does look like it normally.) What would cause that much of a reaction. Having a double press conference before and after his meeting with dipshit. Not having a coherent story through out. Maybe it caught him off guard so much he was freaking out? Maybe some of the info he was shown was on him. And you know it could be a shame if it some how made it out to the public. But I'm sure all the people in this WH are fine upstanding individuals who would never do something like that.

It is Russia who has something on him.

(21,148 posts)Nunes & Sons dairy north of Tulare, where embattled local congressman Devin Nunes learned the dairy business as a youth, is feeding and milking Jersey cows 24 hours a day.
Jersey cows produce more milk fat than other dairy breeds, making the milk worth more. But a detail like that is easy to lose sight of, and the image of cows with huge udders ready for milking makes it easy for the national media to portray the leader of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence as, well, maybe not up to the task when the controversy involved alleged Russian attempts to disrupt an American presidential contest.
Thats a view that plain annoys farmer Brian Watte of Tulare. He grows cotton, alfalfa, black-eyed peas and pistachio trees, and has known Nunes well before he was elected to Congress more than 14 years ago.
Nunes, whose district has been safely Republican with a 43-33 percent voter registration advantage for the GOP over Democrats, lives in Tulare and often comes home to see his family.
The Nuneses live in a gated community named Presidential Estates, where a three-bedroom, three-bath home lists for $340,000.
Judy Medcalf, a retired piano teacher, is a neighbor who rejects the national medias negative portrayal of the congressman.
I think its ridiculous, she said Friday as she and her husband, Robert, a retired pastor, exited through the entry gate to Presidential Estates. Washington is a broken thing, and I think its more of the same. I think we need to get past all this stuff and work for the common good of America.

He's safe and no matter what comes out his brain dead supporters will stand by him even iif it comes out he was in collusion with Russia and handed over state secrets.

(1,907 posts)Just the info wasn't posted. With nunes it may be his investment in the winery. The russian company that is it's distributor is supposed to have a party yacht. Complete with hookers, never ending booze, etc. I'm thinking the midnite run he did was to remind him who has that info. And how terrible it would be if it got out.
