All of this is irregular enough to peg him as a puppet of the Trump administration or a complete boob. Either way, he has surrendered his investigations integrity and his own.
A Republican insider who once worked closely with him described him to me as an overeager goofball who cant see the line between ingratiating and stupid. The insider said that Nunes crossed that line with John Boehner, the former House speaker, who gave him the committee chairmanship but grew weary of Nuness indiscriminate pep and constant bumming of his cigarettes.
My source wondered why Paul Ryan hadnt kept a closer watch on Nunes, given his shortcomings. No one is asking him to bring the potato salad to the Mensa picnic, my source said.

"But Nunes is so deep in the tank for Trump that he needs scuba gear."
