Republican House Intel Chair Devin Nunes Just May Have Gotten Trump Impeached

Source: PoliticusUSA, by Sarah Jones

House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes tried to exonerate President Donald Trump’s unfounded wiretapping accusations against President Obama, but in the process he ended up revealing that the alleged wiretap was legal and done under a FISA warrant, which means the people being surveilled are either foreign powers/agents and or may be involved in the commission of a crime.

So that’s not exactly a win for Nunes or Trump.

*****

Nunes said it appears that the subjects were under a FISA warrant during his White House presser, but that he wasn’t concerned that bringing this claim forward would implicate the President or any of his team given that the only way to get a FISA warrant is if the target is a foreign power, agent or may be committing a crime. “No, I think — what this is- this is normal intelligence reporting.”

And yet, Nunes said it was legally collected. Which means one of the above, and none of them are good. Without offering any proof or any claim that this was done illegally, Nunes took refuge in his idea that what he found would bother the American people. Translation: It bothers Nunes, and Trump.

*****

One might wonder how Nunes can veer like a drunken sailor from chastising the intelligence community for leaks of incidental collection to leaking alleged incidental collection himself, but then that would require holding Republicans to a consistent standard.

1. And somebody on the Trump team had to have planned it all.

A Trump PAC had a fund-raising letter all ready to go.

2. It's got to be Mitch McConnell.

The more the pieces of this investigation are revealed, the more all the signs point to him as the guy who allowed treason to happen.

5. I am with you on this!

7. The look in Grassley and Feinstein's eyes confirms your thought.

Personally, I think there are more people in Congress who are involved.

9. There's definitely no question there's more involved.

But King Mitch has to be the ring leader, there's just no other explanation. I'm sure Paul Ryan is in on the conspiracy as well.

10. You DO know you are at a...

leftwing liberal Democratic website, right?

12. You can post on a liberal Democratic site and still be able to

identify wishful thinking, which is what I consider an article expecting Republicans to impeach Trump to contain. And AFAIK, that article is representative of PoliticusUSA's general approach.

13. Uh-huh.

6. There will come a time when the conversation Nunes ahd with the Prez will have to be

made public....of course they will lie - that's what they do!

Like rat's cornered..oh, and that vindication bit by someone using the dumps twitter - crap, BS..he is no further vindicated than Nixon "I'm not a crook" - no, dump is close to being treasonous...along with those who stepped IN IT!

[yallerdawg]

8. Nixon said, "Listen to these tapes - they'll clear me!"

The rest is history.
