Trump-Russia scandal closes in on Devin Nunes<\/h3>\n

Devin Nunes has already spent 2017 exposing himself as the dumbest and most gullible member of the United States House of Representatives, unwittingly setting himself up as Donald Trump\u2019s fall guy in the Trump-Russia scandal. Now that the scandal is indeed in danger of landing on his head, Nunes keeps taking more reckless steps in the feeble hope of saving himself. This time he\u2019s sunk to a whole new level of idiocy.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nunes was long ago kicked off his own House Intelligence Committee\u2019s investigation into the Trump-Russia scandal after he leaked classified information in the name of trying to help Trump\u2019s prospects. Now he\u2019s inexplicably part of the investigation again, and he\u2019s using his position as Chairman to commit one blatant act of obstruction of justice after another. This time he\u2019s dishonestly targeting Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and, of all people, John McCain.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, Nunes has decided that Donald Trump\u2019s Russia scandal is somehow a hoax created by Senator John McCain. Nunes has begun sending subpoenas to McCain\u2019s associates according to The Hill (link<\/strong><\/a>), and it\u2019s fairly clear that he\u2019s trying to work his way up to McCain himself. The Trump-Russia dossier was originally delivered to the FBI by McCain, after a European contact gave it to him. But the notion of going after McCain, who has obviously done nothing wrong, particularly while he\u2019s fending off a potentially terminal illness, is beyond the pale.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

As per usual with Devin Nunes and his idiotic antics, it\u2019s fairly clear here what\u2019s going on. Donald Trump and his goons have goaded Nunes into launching asinine\u00a0 attacks on people like Rosenstein and McCain, in the hope of creating a distraction. We already know how this ends: Nunes will once again play the fool as this blows back and lands on his own head. But at this point he may not have much to lose anyway. As it is, one legal expert is predicting that Nunes is\u00a0going to prison<\/strong><\/a>.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trump-Russia scandal closes in on Devin Nunes Bill Palmer Updated: 8:49 pm EST Fri Dec 29, 2017   Devin Nunes has already spent 2017 exposing himself as the dumbest and most gullible member of the United States House of Representatives, unwittingly setting himself up as Donald Trump\u2019s fall guy in the Trump-Russia scandal.
