Well, without knowing what Nunes was shown

and with all the panic and bizarre shit going on around it, and with Nunes running to the White House to tell Trump whatever, I'm guessing this is not a good thing for Trump, the Republicans and the whole dirty business.

Whatever Nunes had was leaked to him illegally, and yet, he's tweeting about it and holding impromptu news conferences.

I cannot see how this goes well for Nunes or Trump.

Something is afoot, and I hope we get some clarity on what it is very soon.

This could be the big freaking shoe that has been waiting to drop, but I don't know yet.

Panic is general right now in DC, it seems.

That's excellent for all of us, I think. Panic leads to BIG mistakes, and he already seems to be making some of those. It's gonna get interesting really fast now.

Nunes will be forced to step down which will be a delaying action. Appears he is taking the fall for Team Trump and try to Cancel any Investigation for several months.

He should NEVER have gone straight to Trump with this.
He even spoke to the Press before he spoke to the Ranking Member
