Apparently he hasn’t bothered to even read the recently released Carter Paige FISA application. Even though he cheerleader for it, and it was something that shouldn’t have been released publicly. A really dangerous precedent.
Also note the following:
A) Nunes’s “midnight Uber run” to get documents from the White House early in the administration- to back up an assertion about unmasking that he didn’t have any type of evidence before he got the documents/intelligence reports from the White House
B) his oversight of the house “intelligence” committee (a total joke). A historically non partisan committee focused on national security issues was turned into an absolute circus
C) his closing of their investigation without even trying to talk to many Key witnesses and releasing of a completely bogus final report (that was based on false assertions & he admitted that he didn’t even read the underlying intelligence documents, even though he was one of the folks that had access to it). Even when witnesses were interviewed for was often done at odd times and without pursuing obvious lines of questioning
D) his continued attempts at attacking the intelligence community, in an effort to try to delegitimize/shut down the Mueller probe
E) he allegedly recused himself, yet issued subpoenas and directed the pubs efforts on the committee
F) his continued attack on the Mueller probe and anyone connected to it, effectively turning the intelligence committee into a blindly partisan arm of team Trump
G) his really shoddy and dishonest “expose” a while back, that was completely refuted by the dem’s rebuttal
H) threatening to impeach Rosenstein, who is effectively in charge of overseeing the smellier probe. He effectively tried to strong arm the DOJ into doing what he wanted them to do
In short, the man has demonstrated that he is a complete partisan hack. He has only been intent on protecting team Trump at all costs, and turned a historically bipartisan committee that is charged with protecting our nation’s security/safety into a completely broken shell of itself.
History isn’t going to view him kindly. He’s the worst (best?) example of pure tribalism that I’ve seen- and that’s saying a lot, given everything that’s happened since November 2016.
His charge against the Mueller probe is reminiscent of the multiple Benghazi! probes. Only it was even more blindly partisan, yielded less of a return in terms of accusations proven/questions answered and destroyed the house intelligence committee in the process- all while denigrating our national intelligence agencies.
The man has done some serious damage to our country, and the sad part is that I’d bet he’s not done yet.
Would anyone here like to offer a counter viewpoint? I’m legitimately curious as to how anyone could find this guy even remotely credible.
