Mention is made of unwittingly working as a Russian agent. Nunes might fall into that category through a winery.

The thing that so many people donāt seem to want to credit is that what is going on for real isnāt going on in public.
The GOP isnāt going to leap into anything but if there arenāt GOP Congressmen and women who privately have discussed how best to make this happen and piss off the least number of their voters, then Iām Marie the Queen of Romania.
Itās going to proceed very step by step because they are going to be cautious. But they know what the evidence is by now, except for the new evidence that Muellerās team will turn up.

So Nunes passed the loyalty test and now heās bound to be admitted to the Trump Gang, right? Well, still has that Spanish-y looking last name, letās not go crazy.

Iāve been watching him for 23 years. Burr was my Representative from '94 to '04, and has been one of my senators since then. And I can tell you that he is dedicated first and foremost to reelection and that his strategy for doing that is 1) keeping a low profile and, when thatās not possible, 2) saying whatever he has to say and being whatever he has to be during election year.
Heās not dumb, heās not without a certain amount of integrity when heās in ākeeping a low profileā mode and heās not up for reelection until 2022 when thereās a really good chance thereās going to be a Democratic president elected on a wave of anti-Trump revulsion.
For Burr, of all people, to publicly underbus Nunes and one of the White Houseās favorite distraction narratives when he didnāt have to is a pretty good indication of where he thinks things are headed.

Who could imagine that a member of the Trump transition team could possibly be an unreliable and biased person to investigate āTrussiaā? Me, for oneā¦bravo Senator Burr, for actually standing up for your country, instead of your party.

Burr did Nunes a favor, tossing him under the bus while there was still paramedics available. Later on all the doctors will be busy.

Dear the CA-CDs that sent those Putin-ass-kisser Trumplicans to the Hill, specifically Nunes, Rohrabacher, Kevin āI swear!ā McCarthy, as well as god-awful Issaā¦
ā¦ please rectify. I know many of you probably wonāt, but I gotta ask.

Nunesās district is like Oklahoma, so I think, dammit, they will still keep sending the moron. Meanwhile, I heard Rohrabacherās constituents are slowly but surely becoming aware of his ties with Putin/Russia. Itās a red district but a kind of red that Hillary won (albeit with a small margin), and CA Dems seem to think itās in play.
Soā¦ hereās hoping.

It is not going to be a normal year and I think the two Democrats in Oklahoma who just unseated two Repuglicans is a good example of why there are no more totally safe red seats.

I think itās becoming more apparent every day that the endgame of the Trump situation is going to go very badly for the Republican party, and slowly, one by one, the survival instinct is kicking in for congressional Republicans.

Iām afraid the (political) California that most people think of is pretty much limited to the coast and maybe a tiny slice of the Sierra. The Central Valley and foothills are largely Trump country.
One of my favorite signs along I5 is on the edge of a failed orchard, blaming the Govmint for causing the trees to die from lack of water. Of course, there never WAS any water in that part of the valley except that furnished by government-built aqueducts. (Water furnished to the farmer for about a dollar an acre-foot, iirc.) This is the kind of grievance that assholes like Issa, et. alia, feed upon and get elected by.
(Said water was not diverted from its natural course through the Delta and the Bay during the severe drought years in order to slow the extinction of wild salmon/protect fisheries.)
