Rep. Devin Nunes in testy presser - Tells media "What if we investigate YOU!" [View all]

Last edited Fri Mar 3, 2017, 12:29 AM - Edit history (1)

I don't have a link yet, watched on CNN.

Rep. Devin Nunes (R) California, House Intel Chair gave a very testy news presser today. Tried mightily to avoid talking about Jeff Sessions at all, tried to call it a "disagreement" between some Senators and Jeff Sessions and basically they should get together and hug it out.

He started out fairly even but kind of lost it progressively. I don't think he slept much last night. When asked about the order to preserve documents related to Russia, he pointedly told the press "I suggest you go camp outside their houses and hound them with those questions!"

And then questioned about whether it was appropriate for Beauregard, as a campaign official in a public office to be in contact with the Russians he really flared up.

"I'm sure some of YOU are in contact with the Russian Embassy, be careful what you wish for! Do you want us to conduct an ivestigation into YOU because you were in contact with the Russian Embassy?"

These people are terrified; a bunch of cornered vipers.
