BREAKING: A GOP Hill staffer just told me she was instructed today to keep her distance from Devin Nunes, his staff and the GOP House Intel Cmte staff, because it looks like they are targets "of multiple ongoing investigations by Special Counsel Mueller's office/FBI and the DoJ."

[radical noodle]

1. For good reason

I hoped that Mueller wasn't just sitting back and ignoring Devin.

[bluestarone]

2. I'm hoping the same!!

I'm sure nUNES is in Muellers radar

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

52. Damn straight!!!

[Grins]

55. ...nor Giuliani

Up to his donkey-like mouth with the renegades at the NYC FBI field office.

Oct. 26, 2016, Rudy Giuliani began teasing an October “surprise” which, Giuliani said, would turn the tide against Hillary Clinton. He refused to say what the forthcoming surprise would be.

Two days later, the big-mouth publicly said that he had sources within the FBI—active agents—who had told him of virulent anti-Clinton sentiment in the New York field office and an internal rebellion against Comey’s July decision not to indict Clinton.

3. Nunes is probably busy cooking up a counter subpoena

[PearliePoo2]

4. A rumor maybe but PLEASE PLEASE be true!

This would make my day to watch that little worm get his ass nailed.

(I imagine Adam Schiff wouldn't be crying any tears of sympathy either)

[Me.]

5. Yahooooooooo

It was only a matter of time before this happened to the little traitor

[hlthe2b]

14. thanks

Seth doesn't mention that Nunes is a target, but he does say that both Nunes and Prince work for Trump

18. Being old and dumb,

thanks for the message from that routine. Number one Son sent me a text with that routine,honestly had zero clue what this was all about. The Kid was a Comedy Club Writer back in his Acting days.

Sent your quote to Num Nuts Nuens.

[Brother Buzz]

17. Perhaps Nunes needs a Russian translation

[aeromanKC]

8. Multiple

I like the sound of that.

[JDC]

10. I so want this to be so.

[Achilleaze]

11. republicans who have betrayed America

deserve the full traitor treatment

[RandomAccess]

12. Oh thank heaven

Music to my ears.

I was just thinking to myself earlier this afternoon -- and this doesn't totally qualify, but it's a start -- how badly I need something along the lines of a Big Win.

[NewJeffCT]

13. I hope Dworkin is correct, but

he is not the most reliable of sources

[procon]

15. Perfect, he's long overdo.

He'll flip, you just know that smug, brown nosing bootlicker will pee himself in his eagerness to tell Mueller all about Trump's dirty deeds and save himself from prison.

[czarjak]

19. Who knew?????????

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. What about the Speech and Debate Clause in the Constitution?

Members of Congress are immune from prosecution for acts done in the course of their work as congresscritters and can't even be interrogated about that work. Whatever it is would have to be something outside the scope of being just a congressional trumpsucking douchebag.

[cynatnite]

22. I'm smelling obstruction of justice...

at the very least. Maybe some witness tampering.

[bottomofthehill]

28. You are on to somthing. Things like this are usually turned over to House Ethics

There are a host of constitutional issues.

[flibbitygiblets]

29. WaPo says more than 24 congresscritters indicted since 1980

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/07/29/more-than-two-dozen-members-of-congress-have-been-indicted-since-1980/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.4f6687e4e9e3

And that was from August 2015. Usually it was about $, but sometimes lying/conspiracy. And that doesn't count the ones who pleaded guilty.

[Cheviteau]

33. My O My

That's a really, really, really broad interpretation of the Speech & Debate Clause, ya got there.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

36. Case law is all over the place.

Just saying there are some things that might not be prosecutable. I would love to see him doing the perp walk, so I hope they find things that are.

[meadowlander]

35. Since he technically recused himself from the Russia investigation,

how can he argue that all of his meddling in that investigation was "acts done in the course of his work"?

[zipplewrath]

51. SOME acts

Not sure which ones you think would apply here. Conspiracy isn't gonna be covered by that. They probably can't get him for anything he said in committee. But if he conspired to commit perjury, I'm dubious there is a way out of that.

[Botany]

21. Scott Dworkin?

Why not Louise Mensch or the Palmer Report?

I'll pass.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. Yay! However, better metaphor is "the cows come home", since he's a dairy farmer. . . . nt

[bucolic_frolic]

25. Cows come home to roost?

mixing metaphors ... not to mention some very confused cows!

[TheBlackAdder]

32. How about... The cows come home to take a dump on his porch?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

40. The expression is "until the cows come home". Nunes can obfuscate until the cows come home, but

... now the cows are coming home.

[bucolic_frolic]

48. It'll be a bucolic frolic for sure

I'm so excited!

[Squinch]

43. Those cows will definitely to fall off those roosts with those little hooves. They're screwed.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

53. Perhaps you prefer chicken patties?!

[calimary]

24. Be still my heart!!!

That traitorous pipsqueak belongs in a penitentiary.

[Catherine Vincent]

26. Damn I hope so

Nunes is such a weasel.

[lastlib]

34. Hey! that's insulting to weasels!

The Mustelidae family will be HIGHLY insulted by such comparison! Pond scum is closer to Nunes on the evolutionary ladder.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

41. How dare you insult pond scum! Closer, maybe, but below pond scum. . . . nt

[SleeplessinSoCal]

27. Listened to McFall talk about Putin fearing "Deep State" threat to him on PodSavetheWorld.

The belief that the "Deep State" rules over us hasn't received the full attack from the neo-Republicans I expect it will.

[vlyons]

30. not certain how congress people get expelled under the constitution

Obviously voted out is the #1 way. But if Mueller indicts Nunes for obstruction of justice, I don't think congress people get impeached with a bill of impeachment. I know that they can be brought before the ethics committee, but does the whole house vote on removal?

[grantcart]

31. doubtful. No one knows who is a target and Mueller's team isn't talking

I am guessing that the GOP staffer was told "out of an abundance of caution stay away from these people because they could be a target"

Remember the source is a GOP staffer listening to other GOP staffer or Member.

[sprinkleeninow]

37. A physical condition identified as butt-in-sling-itis headed his way?

😝
'em out!

[coeur_de_lion]

38. Really good news

I hate that guy.

[BobTheSubgenius]

39. Even if they are "staff," the "just following orders" defense tried and died already.

It didn't fly at Nuremburg, and it won't now. They all have varying (presumably) degrees of culpability, and Nunes....prison for Nunes. Slimy little offspring of a weasel and a toad.

[Historic NY]

42. Bunch of cluckers.

[SergeStorms]

44. GOOD!

It's past time that Grima Wormtongue look-a-like got slapped up aside the head with a fist full of subpoenas. I really hope Rosenstein set him up with some sort of "oh, shit" treasonous information today, that he'll immediately share with the White House.

I want that mother-hucker to be slapped down so far he can pull his socks up over his head! He's lower than whale shit.

It's time to send another donation to Janz. It's time for Nunes's 15 years in the House to come to a screeching HALT!

[cstanleytech]

46. Do not be to harsh on Grima as in both the novel and the movie he eventually saw the light and

grew enough of a spine to throw his allegiance to Saruman away.
Nunes on the other hand will never grow a spine.

[bucolic_frolic]

47. You may have hit the nail on the head

some "treasonous information". Could be a sting to see what he does with it. Feds are great at letting investigations run, then rounding up every last perp.

[magicarpet]

58. Obstruction of Justice.....

.... or justice by bullies and a big battering ram.

The tough love approach to justice, that is just what Devin deserves. Slap him around, kick him in the groin, then spit at him.

Can Mueller water board that little prick and find out who he is prostituting himself for ? Why does Devin swear his allegiance to Putin and the Motherland of Russia ?

All these Rethugs have a fantasy of becoming filthy rich like the Russian Syndicate of Criminal Oligarchs. Free market capitalism is so yesterday's news.

Now Fascist Authoritarianism is the new "Alt-Right" Nazi brown shirts storm troopers new religion - masquerading around in a clean white heavily starched Oxford shirts and khaki colored pants with oxblood penny loafers. Just a splash of that preppy frat boy persona. But don't allow yourself to be fooled.

A fucking Nazi is still a fucking Nazi no matter how much lipstick you smear on their Fascist pig faces.

[cstanleytech]

45. Could explain why Nunes is trying to get access to information on what Mueller is specifically

investigating and what evidence he has because if Nunes knows what Mueller has then he he knows what he needs to hide for example.

[BlueIdaho]

49. Yes!

He’s up to his neck in this quicksand and the more he struggles the further he sinks...

[BigOleDummy]

50. Best news I've read this morning!

That's all ….. work nights so just now finishing my first cup of coffee then saw this. I guess sometimes the gods do smile on us after all.

[spanone]

54. "Please Please Please"

[Bonx]

56. any arrests yet?

[oasis]

57. Lock up Numbnuts.

[machoneman]

59. Yah know, since the beginning of the "Nunes' Era" as I call it.....

this heretofore unknown congressman had nothing to gain, so to speak, by so overtly being the handmaiden for Trump. Elected, in a safe district, committee chair....so what gives?

It's now evident he was up to his eyeballs in the Russian thingee from Day 1! That's the only rational reason for his many stupid moves to not only protected Trump but himself. I mean, a non-lawyer, an agr. degree and not a lot of time in DC. A perfect dupe to do the King's bidding.

I do wonder though: who recruited him to run such heavy interference? Did he unknowingly get his knickers into the Russia thing and only too late realize his jeopardy? Or, was he blackmailed (kompromat, and by whom) into the whole dastardly plan from the start?
