What game is Nunes playing??

He is certainly muddying the water.

What is his strategy? Is he trying to blow up the investigation? Is he working with the White House?

Whatever the reason, he is trying to take the focus off the White House and direct it toward the FBI and NSA. It is a misdirection play.

The Firemen must be arrested immediately or the whole city will go up in flames! Take away their hoses, that is the source of the leaks!

[hr][font color="blue"][center]I'm always right. When I'm wrong I admit it.
So then I'm right about being wrong.

He panicked the other day. As a member of the transition team, he too, is implicated.

He was likely chosen as a member of the transition BECAUSE he was chairman of the house intelligence committee.

He probably saw documentation tying him to illegal activities and had no idea until that time that he was going down too.

He just needs to fess up and save the embarrassment that is coming if he tries to cover it up.

Nunes did what he did for one reason. And only one reason.

So Donald Trump would be proven correct in his Obama wire tapping rweets, and make that whole story go away. Nunes is just giving Trump cover. Thats all.

(I aint saying Nunes is correct, not Trump proven right) just saying why Nunes did what he did.

The prosecuting attorney required heart surgery so he ran and was elected. Not prepared for with his case he fell to the floor in court making throat noises sputtering and spitting. The judge immediately call for an ambulance and paramedics arrived. Once the paramedics arrived they took vitals the prosecuting attorney was OK. The judge then asked him in the court room why he did it. The attorney admitted he was not prepared he was delaying for time. The case was immediately thrown out. Nunes is using an equivalent of this tactic.

The question is whether or not it was Ryan to take coverage away from the Health care vote or Trump to pathetically claim he was right.

Either the man has the brains if a 14 year old and needs to step down.

13. I have heard some very elaborate stories from 14 year olds.

Why is it though no one asks him about his conversation with Ryan?
