I hope no one was eating while reading that Meadows bullshit.
’ In a separate appearance, he (Gaetz) told Sean Hannity, “I think this will not end just with firings. I believe that there are people who will go to jail.”
“I think there will be criminal implications here,” Gaetz added."
Yes, in an ideal world it would, but for Republicans who release classified material.
None of them read it…it’s so obvious…just like trump hasn’t read it.
Will Hurd (R-TX) was on [NPR this morning][1]:
MARTIN: Although you know - as a former intelligence officer, you know that there are some circumstances where you absolutely cannot have transparency, that it does jeopardize sources and methods.
HURD: Absolutely, and this is not one of them, right? Having been involved in some incredibly sensitive operations where life and death, you know, hung in the balance, this is not one of those cases. And so…
This is how Hurd characterized his intelligence service earlier in the piece
HURD: Well, one, of course, they’re going to be against this because I do not believe they want to see Congress exercising aggressively its oversight function and it’s informing function. I’m a former intelligence officer. I spent almost a decade in the back alleys of places like India and Pakistan and Afghanistan, collecting intelligence, protecting sources and methods. It’s my responsibility to know the difference between information and intelligence. And this memo is not going to erode national security. This is not a attack on Bob Mueller. What the Russians did when it came to our elections…

Hurd may have been hinting that this is a nothingburger, but he is also one of the congresscritters Pence is going on the stump for this year. (I had no idea that Hurd until checking wikipedia that Hurd was African American–not trying to muddy the waters, but he distanced himself from Trump the candidate, but his seat is threatened, so I guess he’ll take Pence’s support to stave off a Dem win in the 23rd district which is one that was ruled Texas had discriminated against minorities when drawing lines in 2010)
And to think that some of these guys have law degrees.
When did you ever see a government report that was only four pages long?
Only five? I guess the day is still young…
Ah, the GOP brain trust. Is there no end to “all the best people”?
Some of the Trump University Skool of Lawz best and most beautiful…
For the typical deplorable attention span, it should have only been one paragraph, followed by cartoon characters and a full page “Where’s Waldo”.
It’s difficult if not impossible to give a quote about the Nunes memo to the media when you are a Republican congressman busy doing The People’s Work by hiding under your desk.
WARNING: Don’t get between Matt Gaetz and a camera.
Don’t forget Liberty University, too. The Blessed Sheepskins of the Baby Jesus!
Or a bottle of booze…
The idea of being between Matt Gaetz and anything has made me decide to put off eating dinner for about the next 5 days.
Why am I not surprised to see Matt Gaetz as the poster boy?
It’s like an insult I used to hear about the comedian Bob Hope late in his career: “He’d go to the opening of a gas station.”
Not exactly the greatest time in history to be a black Republican. Well, at least not since the Civil War.
