People say that the Democrats donāt know how to play rough, but it looks to me that, in what amounts to a mere footnote of his committee report, Schiff just knee-capped Nunes.

The unraveling is going to be spectacular.

Hereās the BIG QUESTION.
We know (hail Snowden) that the NSA is - literally - hoovering up all these calls and texts. They MUST be on a server, accessible to the NSA. Since the time and length and numbers and dates are all knownā¦
Some, honest, or āloyalā NSA slug - could possibly - leak the contents.
Just putting it out there.

Two questions: who is paying for all his frivolous lawsuits, and has anyone checked his financial records, both domestic and foreign, lately? I smell money.

The number of coincidences in this case are just unbelievable.
But, totally OK. Iām sure there are [several versions of unbelievable] explanations.

So is Nunes going to sue his own committee for this report or just Schiff or perhaps just the Democrats? Heās sued every other news outlet that has reported anything similar. hahahaha

Yup. And to think, Schiff was sitting there for two weeks of hearing on this, letting Nunes twist and rant and rave, and all the while both of them knew that this stuff was waiting.
Cold-blooded to just have left all that out, itāll make the replays of Nunesā stuff sound like desperation, āPlease, stop this investigation before you find more shit on meā.
Iām upping the odds of Trump resigning. There are too many more shoes still to drop, and the co-conspirators have to be getting nervous just how many more folks are going to get outed if the investigation isnāt brought to a premature close via trumpās resignation.

He canāt resign, both because he never admits that he is wrong, and because of the flood of prosecutions that are being held back merely because of the ludicrous OLC memo that states a sitting president canāt be indicted.
He either becomes dictator for life, or a jailbird for life. It isnāt a guess which one he wants to beā¦

I wonder if Nunes knew about these recordsā¦I wouldnāt out it past Schiff to let him twist in the wind and not share the records until he had to. Nunes basically just screwed himself by staying involved in the process with all of this sitting there, he looks extremely corrupt by being involved in this and then leading the investigation for the Republicans.
Nunes should also be terrified of Parnas cooperating with the investigation, because he knows what was said and how deep Nunes was involved. Itās also going to be interesting to learn what else is in those call recordsā¦they basically have a picture of who was talking to who during this entire period now, and thatās like a roadmap to dig out the real story.

Sad when guys like Parnas are more ethical and patriotic than most Republican politicians.

All that stuff can be pardoned, and Iām sure they could get NY to do a non-prosecution agreement.
Nunes isnāt the only one who is going to get dragged in here. Johnson, Gaetz, Jordan, MoscowMitchā¦ Enough of them have enough interests to tell him to take a hike if they think that theyāre all getting exposed.

Of course he did. Heās the Rank[ing] Member and has access to everything. Schiff canāt unilaterally embargo the evidence.

Have we got to the āI donāt know Devin Nunesā point yet?
āI donāt know ā¦
Giuliani
Mulvaney
Pompeo
Pence
Perry

He already doesnāt know Sondland, Taylor, Vindman, and those others who testified. So, I guess his co-conspirators are next.
Hey Moscow Mitch, Iād be listening for āI donāt know McConnell.ā

But Schiff can bury it in a mountain of other stuff, call it something uninteresting, or depend on the incompetence of Nunes and hist staff not to bother going through the complete set of records. Thatās what I meant, Schiff didnāt have to point anything out to Nunes and the Republicans, he just had to share it with them.
