Can somebody please explain this sh*t to me? PLEASE?

[KingBob]

I am trying to understand it, but IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME! On Wednesday, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes claims he saw documents that induced him to run and tattle to Speaker Ryan, and a press conference, and pResident dRump, and another press conference. And yet, he did not brief Ranking Member Schiff or anyone on the committee. Yesterday, he called that run and tattle, “A bad judgment call.” Today, Nunes can not produce those documents to brief his committee. He claims, “He is waiting on them to be delivered.” Are not documents, once delivered to the committee, stay with the committee in the SCIF (secure repository)? If not, what did Nunes see and where did he see it - that is making me say, “WTF?” If someone can please explain this shit to me, I would be extremely grateful.

On edit: I just saw Rep. Schiff's news conference. He has as much information as I do. It still is a WTF moment, but I don't feel as ignorant as I did earlier. Thanks.

1. These people live in an alternate reality

and I haven't been given the keys. It makes no sense to me either.

2. He was following Twitlers orders

There never was anything, just a bone for the press to chase.

3. To Nunes it must make perfect sense.

Perhaps he should find out if he should belatedly register as an Agent of a Foreign Power.

4. Simplest explanation is

He fabricated the whole thing on the orders of the Trumpenfuhrer.

How he thought he was not going to have to back up his bee ess I am not sure.

5. I had the wild notion

that Nunes was called over by the White House and given this whole story to stop the flow of news about Trump/Russia back to Obama/Wiretapping.

6. I think it was a ruse.

One of the committee members said that documents can only be exchanged in the committee room (three floors under the Capitol) or inside an "agency." Someone was trying to track down if Nunes followed that procedure. They did not define "agency."

It looks like a scheme right out of the WH. I hope Nunes loses his chairmanship over it.

Also, he ran to Ryan first. Ryan approved all the shenanigans. Nunes would not have take any action without Ryan's approval. So Ryan needs to go down, too!

7. Adam Schiff just now called it a "dead of night excursion"..meaning

he believes that Monday night , Nunes went over to a SCIF at either FBI/CIA/NSA and was given chance to review these reports.

8. I'm trying to understand this too

but the more I learn, the more confused I get. We need a flow chart for all this.

Nunes reminds me of the kid who runs to the teacher to tattle on every little thing, in order to score brownie points.

9. nunes made it all up....to cover giving trump vital info on what the intel committee knows

that is classified.

its all about disinformation and protecting the trump...and conservatives from collusion with russia

12. Further, Nunes was instructed by Bannon to do this and went to Ryan and then the White House

I'd like to see his phone records for that day... I bet the first thing was a call from Bannon/Trump... and then Ryan... and then he went to Ryan and then to the WH and then to the Media.

10. My understanding is that there is no actual document he was handed. He was shown

something and never handed a hard copy. This smells to high heaven that this was orchestrated by the WH. If it was, trump is toast. This will never not come out

[KittyWampus]

11. Nunes made the whole tale up out of whole cloth. No one else has seen his fictional "intelligence".

13. Lotta smoke in this picture intended to cover and confuse.

Getting too close to revealing some truths about tRump and others in his cabal. So they had to create a smoke screen to delay revelations. They are scrambling behind the scenes trying to get their stories straight. It WILL all come out....but maybe not as fast as we'd like.

I am on a roller coaster of emotions going from feeling like things are breaking wide open and then realizing this may not be resolved for many months. I loathe tRump and everyone associated with him and just want this nightmare to be over before this country is destroyed. Every single day he is the President we come closer to being irreparably damaged.

14. What does make sense

Nunes IS the source. He was able to figure out the masking & recognized content. He panicked and ran to Paul Ryan then the press.

The WH capitalized on it to use his words in Wednesday presser to send out email saying "Obama was wiretapping, Trump was right" so donate to help us.

Nunes was able to do ALL of this because:. The Ethics committee & Office of Congressional Ethics are powerless to do more than send a strongly worded letter. Any stronger action is followed up by the Sessions led DOJ.
