Earlier this year, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) met a former Ukrainian diplomat named Andrii Telizhenko, who has been peddling the debunked conspiracy theory alleging collusion between the DNC and Ukraine in 2016.
Like a bad penny.
So why are the Russians talking about this now? Did they get what they wanted out of trump and now they’re going back to just creating chaos?
Please. Nunes knows nothing. He has to ask his cow when it’s time to be milked.
So more cast of the Trump Crime Story Ukraine Edition is coming to light! How widespread is the Trump Criminal Epidemic amongst the RNC?
Holy Cow!
It’s endemic, part of their DNA.
In an overlooked interview, the national spokesperson for the Republican National Committee claimed that when Trump pressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to carry out the “investigations” Trump wanted, he wasn’t trying to help himself.
Instead, Trump was merely trying to get Zelensky to cooperate with the ongoing Justice Department review of the origins of the FBI investigation into Russian interference, the RNC spokesperson, Liz Harrington, said.

Screw the country. Anything for the team!
Would someone please send this “true patriot” (?) Nunes back to his farm and the rock from under which he came.
Nunes aide, Derek Harvey - who was once an advisor to Trump and peddled the same nonsense - is also behind the campaign to out the whistleblower and other smears (like on Vindman). Surprise.
He can’t go back to his farm. His farm is in Iowa and his district is in California.
Chaos is a ladder.
Yes, creating chaos and making you doubt your political institutions are part of the asymmetric war Putin is waging against the west. The GRU and oligarchs in Putin’s Power Vertical have been tasked with financing and helping both Right-wing and far-left organizations throughout the NATO ecosystem. The far right party running Austria crashed and burned when a video was released of them talking about taking money from Russian Oligarchs in exchange for doing them favors. Same happened to the “Populist” Prime Minister of Italy. He was forced out because of his fealty to Putin.

First you corrupt then you control. That’s a feature of Putin’s Russia. Look at all the Englishmen who made deals in Russia and then backed Brexit. Then look at all the Republicans, NRA leaders, and Evangelicals who have traveled to Russia and been offered lucrative deals. Moscow Mitch is swimming in rubles now that he freed Rusal from sanctions.
Now go pull on the string of Cambridge Analytica’s, Putin’s, and the Mercer’s ties to gaming the Brexit vote. Putin has is asymmetric army built for Brexit and then used that to attack American Democracy.
“Mr. Nunes, there’s a Mr. Schiff here with a subpoena for you.”
A agree with what you say is the goal (bringing down the west) and that chaos is the means or ladder by causing the implosion of their governments without firing a shot. I think both China and Russia are actively working toward this (maybe in coordination or maybe both just seeing the opportunity).
I’m just wondering if the more public things happening lately that appear to hurt the gop/trump signal a change in their game. Have they gotten what they wanted in Ukraine, Syria, etc. and now they are ready to actively throw the gop/trump under the proverbial bus.
Andrii Telizhenko was never a diplomat. He was an Ukrainian Embassy employee.He has ties to Ukrainian politicians who were members of Yanukovych’s pro-Putin Party of Regions.They are still working to undermine Ukraine’s move to reform it’s Government, end endemic corruption, join the EU and NATO.
The Party of Regions oversaw the looting of at least $80 Billion from the Ukrainian people. This resulted in the protests in December 2013 because Yanukovych had taken billions of dollars from Putin and backed away from the EU Association Agreement. Hundreds died in the protests. Manafort was there advising his best friend and paymaster Yanukovych during the uprising now known as The Maidan.
Something to look into. Why was Trump trying to get Rick Perry to pressure the Ukrainians and have Trump loyalists from Texas installed on Ukraine’s State owned energy company Naftogas. Putin used Naftogas to bribe and control Ukraine’s politicians. Many of them made billions off Naftogas deals.
I doubt Devin is gonna bow out to spend more time with his cows, so he’s gonna have to moooved out by the voters of his district.
Judging by his last election, this isn’t an udder impossibility.
“As a matter of fact, I am a traitorous douchebag.”
I see what you did there…
Needs more cowbell, er, Devin’s COW SHIT.
