“But because there is criminal activity there, we’re working with the appropriate law enforcement agency.”

by which he means russian intelligence, and if that doesn’t work he’ll work with the bonesaw prince, or with North Korea, or with billy barr - one’s as good as another to devin.

Holy Cow!!! That’s some deep manure, dev.
We don’t understand why when you were asked about a meeting you don’t “Jusy Say No” unless…

“So look, Maria, I really want to answer all of these questions and I promise you I absolutely will come back on the show and answer these questions,” Nunes said. “But because there is criminal activity there, we’re working with the appropriate law enforcement agency.”

Funny that he wouldn’t deny that the meetings took place. You’d think he’d have no problem just lying through his teeth. It’s not as if he has no experience in that area.

I’m sure the FBI is just thrilled when the phone rings, and it’s Nunes. They probably have it set up so that his calls go straight into voice mail.

The Republican congressman argued that the reports were “criminal in nature” because CNN and the Daily Beast had spoken to Parnas’ lawyers, which Nunes claimed was “likely conspiring to obstruct justice.”

There’s the Constitution and the law, and then there’s comedian Devin Nunes.

He really should have workshopped that bit - he’d have discovered that it got bupkis.

Moones had to check his ownee’s manual: “Don’t Panic! If you get caught, just accuse them of whatever it is they caught you at. Works like a charm. Trust us.”

Nunes still beating that dead cow. His act is old and tired. Nunes can not hide the fact that he is a stupid, inept, laughable excuse for a human being. Just because suing people worked for his messiah, Trump, Devin thinks it will work for him.

How about being surrounded by fellow humans(?) who continue voting for this imbecile? Many who would vote against him in this area- cannot vote (for various reasons). His district is a Deep Red enclave in Blue California.

“Parnas’ attorney went even further and told CNN that Nunes had met with Shokin last year to dig up dirt on Joe Biden.”

When Nunes says he’s “working with law enforcement”, it probably means he’s making anonymous, fraudulent 911 calls.
