Like Nunes I have a BS in Agriculture. Plant science to be specific. It was a rigorous course load heavy on math, chemistry and genetics. I went to a Land Grant, Flagship University. Getting accepted was competitive but not hard. I think I am pretty sharp and can usually get through most situations on my wit.

That said, I have a friend who is a Harvard Law grad. Ivy League undergrad as well. She can think and talk circles around me. Going up against her in a debate or worse, in a field of law would leave me in a pool of sweat. She is flat out just more intelligent than I am with a more flexible mind.

I think this explains Nunes. He was always able to use his education and intelligence to get by. But he just realized he is out of his league. The men and women at the top of Justice and the FBI are able to flat out think and out strategize him. And they know everything. I expect he will now try to keep out of the limelight and try to just go away.
