He said he was "troubled" by some of the things he learned. The only thing he should be troubled about is that members of Trump's transition team were caught talking to foreign individuals who were under a FISA warrant, which would be individuals thought to be working against the interests of the US. The question isn't whether Trump and his people were under surveillance (they weren't according to the DOJ), but why were they talking to these people in the first place?
Nunes was a member of the Trump transition team; I wonder if his name came up, and that's why he's so "troubled"?
The fact that he went running right to Trump to brief him, but couldn't/wouldn't show the committee the documents he was talking about is really troubling. He's blown whatever little credibility he had, and if Paul Ryan had any guts he would remove Nunes as head of that committee for misconduct. The chairman of a House committee investigating a relationship with Russia goes right to the target of that investigation and briefs him on what has been found WITHOUT letting the rest of the committee know what he was doing or why - how is that even ethical or legal???
Prediction: Trump will unleash a tweetstorm claiming that this proves he was right about the "wire tapping", even though the facts show otherwise. |
