He really is. And he continues to make this worse. Merely dragging his little midnight run story out for days and days…keeps the Russian connections stories on the headlines. I am pretty sure that was NOT the intent of this “plan”.
But a couple of things are worth noting at this point in time:
-
NOBODY else has seen the documents Nunes claims to have. Or to have read. Or heard about. Nobody. Not Ryan, not other republicans on the Committee, and certainly not the Democrats. Or any person in the press. The only “evidence” that it exists is…Nunes himself. And even Nunes himself is all over the place on that. Does he have the evidence, or did someone show it to him? Or did they merely tell him about it? He has in one of his many interviews, indicated all three scenarios.
-
Right now, there is NO evidence that this meeting/trip to the White House “grounds” took place, except…again…Nunes claim. The White House hasn’t confirmed it, they haven’t provided logs showing the Nunes was there…its merely Nunes claiming it happened.
At this point, I will not be surprised to hear that Nunes fought off a dozen (20…then 40) ninjas in the dark of night to receive this intel, and it was only because of his amazing athleticism and just general awesomeness that allowed him to escape. And the press will jump all over that squirrel story as completely believable without any verification, too.
