Midnight Run: Devin Nunes Vanished the Night Before He Made Trump Surveillance Claims ...

Devin Nunes Vanished the Night Before He Made Trump Surveillance Claims
The Republican intelligence chairman got a message and jumped out of an Uber. The next morning he made a bombshell claim based on classified information.

Hours before the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee announced his shocking claims about surveillance of the Trump transition team on Wednesday morning, he practically disappeared.

Rep. Devin Nunes was traveling with a senior committee staffer in an Uber on Tuesday evening when he received a communication on his phone, three committee officials and a former national security official with ties to the committee told The Daily Beast. After the message, Nunes left the car abruptly, leaving his own staffer in the dark about his whereabouts.

By the next morning, Nunes hastily announced a press conference. His own aides, up to the most senior level, did not know what their boss planned to say next. Nunes’ choice to keep senior staff out of the loop was highly unusual.

1. What a stupid stupid stupid man

To allow himself to get dragged into and tainted by the Trump-Russia cover-up. But then maybe since he was part of the Trump transition, may his own name appeared in some of the IC reports. Ya think?

2. Changing his story from hour to hour..

Certainly acting like he has something to hide..,

[democratisphere]

3. Liar. Nunes has got himself in deep dodo.

What an absolute fool.

[CentralMass]

4. What a tool.

[tableturner]

5. Maybe he is a co-conspirator, and like much of the Trump crew, he knows he is caught red handed and

is acting accordingly.

6. Must have been like a scene from THE DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMAN....

1:10:33 for the secret meeting scene.
Nunes would be Grant Shuad playing Reinhardt.

7. Should Nunes be investigated? Is he part of the scheme?

His actions make him seem to be an accomplice.

8. Paul Ryan needs to be grilled about this non-stop. Nunes is sabotaging the committee.

Ryan's office must be swamped with calls asking what is going on.
Nunes needs to be replaced immediately and I believe Ryan is the only person who can do it.
If he refuses to dump Nunes, why would that be? This stinks to high heaven.

9. this n/t

k&r!

10. Probably had a hot tip that revolved around a pizza parlor.

11. The way I understand how things work, NO RePug Representative makes a SINGLE move...

or says a word about ANYTHING without the blessing of their Speaker.
Nunes admitted he went to Ryan first and then headed right on over to the White House to confer with BLOTUS. He blabbed incoherently at two Press conferences, before and after his White House meeting.
Ryan HAD to approve all of this. Nunes would NOT be going rogue unless he was committing career suicide.
What say you, Paul Ryan?
