Congratulations to Devin Nunes on his re-election. Congratulations mixed with condolences. Because his days as a powerful and influential congressman are over.

Even though Nunes defeated challenger Andrew Janz to retain his District 22 seat, he was also among the biggest losers in Tuesday’s midterm elections.

Our local congressman’s power on Capitol Hill, as described by Fresno State political science professor Thomas Holyoke, “will be greatly diminished.”

For starters, Nunes will no longer be chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. When Congress reconvenes that gavel will almost certainly pass to Democrat Adam Schiff, Nunes’ one-time collaborator turned fierce adversary.

3. Nunes might not be in office to much longer though as with our guys in the majority they have

the power now to launch investigations into his actions and if they uncover any criminal or grossly unethical act on his part playing Trumps waterboy he might end up out on the street or (hopefully) in prison sporting the new name of Prisoner #xxx.xxxx.xx .
