Well now…
Over the past month cable news has chosen to hype the House investigation, presumably as part of some kind of ratings ploy, while largely pretending the far more important Senate investigation didn’t exist. This seems to have led cable news addict Trump to conclude that he had to stop the House investigation at all cost, thus why he had Devin Nunes set himself on fire.
How Donald Trump ended up hitting the panic button on the wrong Intel Committee
Buh-bye Devin… you can go back to picking grapes in Lodi now…
Trump: All legit. I am a Whistle Blower against myself.
This is incredibly damning for Nunes. I think there could be pressure on him to resign from Congress, not just from the committee.
Also, Spicer, won’t get away with dodging questions about Nunes’ contacts now.
Finally, who ratted on these rats? McMaster?
By the way, THIS is what I call whistleblowing!
Nothing to see here, move along. {Trump waves hand in front of eyes of the public) “These are not the droids facts you’re looking for.” “Failing NY Times”?? Look in the mirror, Donny.
Daaaarn. Nunes is the dumbest, densest, stupidest fuck among the Congressional GOP caucus. And that’s actually a very fierce competition to win…
I guess we now understand the context of PeePee’s seemingly random morning tweet about the “failing NYT”.
would word of this article be the reason for the mysterious tweets from the chief twit this morning?
Well, this is the kind of shocking news that’s sadly failing to shock us much at this point. Administration officials and members of Congress charged with oversight of intelligence are forming clunky conspiracies to put out information that misleadingly suggests the current occupant’s baseless ravings have some vague basis in a realm we used to call objective reality. Two branches of our god-damned government caught up in ridiculous insanity to assuage the fickle feelings of a madman. Nice. Real nice. And nobody is surprised. Are you? Neither am I.
Expect pushback from a Senior Administration Official with a small vocabulary to appear in the “failing” NYtimes tomorrow.
And now this. I love my Senator Wyden, sic 'em Ron!!
The most prominent instance of a Republican Senator supporting the Trump-Russia investigation has come from Susan Collins, who tilted the single-vote majority on the Senate Intel Committee to the Democrats and handed them the ability to push forward as aggressively as they can. Collins has already publicly stated that she’ll seek Trump’s tax returns if she finds it “necessary” to fully unmask the Russia scandal (source). With Ron Wyden also pursuing Trump’s taxes via the Finance Committee, that means at least two prominent Senate committees are both pursuing the matter.

This is all too cute by half. By this reasoning, Devon’s guilty of the kidnapping Flynn discussed with Turks by his presence at the same luncheon isn’t he…
Intercepts of diplomats discussing the upcoming administration possibly shared and even more unlikely read by people connected to OBAMA…a mighty thin, Benghazi-ish reed, indeed.
I’m more interested in the blonde female Priebus aide and rumored Trump female companion just bounced as Melania overnights more frequently…
So, here we go. One of the two officials is indeed Ellis, as heavily speculated.
Several current American officials identified the White House officials as Ezra Cohen-Watnick, the senior director for intelligence at the National Security Council, and Michael Ellis, a lawyer who works on national security issues at the White House Counsel’s Office and formerly worked on the staff of the House Intelligence Committee.
Would this be a Senior Admin Official with a “very, very, really very” small vocabulary?
If these Keystone Kops, Cohen-Watnick and Ellis, had this “exonerating” evidence and they both work at the WH, why didn’t they just give it to PeePee themselves?
Or were they simply unable to reduce it to one page with nine or less bullet points as is required?
The congressman has refused to identify his sources, saying he needed to protect them so others would feel safe coming to the committee with sensitive information.
Yep - I would feel perfectly safe going to the committee, knowing this ass was going to fall all over himself to tell Trump about it. Nice try Congressman Nutbag.
I imagine they thought it might have more credibility coming from someone not named Donald Trump. 
At best, Ryan was disingenuous calling these folks whistleblowers. Countdown to Donny railing about leaks in 5…4…3…
