Calls grow for Nunes to step aside in Russia probe[W:266]

Re: Calls grow for Nunes to step aside in Russia probe

American said:
You are supporting a call for Nunes to step down, without any hope of a real change in the committee. The Establishment runs the committee. There is no point in it. And I'm not so sure the Dems have made a case yet. They are basically haters trying to cause as much damage as possible.

Yes, I want Nunes to step down. Now why would that make you think I want a Democrat to replace him again?

I don't hate Devin Nunes. I don't even know him. I hate distractions and lies, and he has brought both to what is supposed to be an impartial, get to the facts so everyone can move on investigation.

So you just made a really stupid post about a Democrat for no reason, even though I never suggested, never hinted, and anyone who pays attention knows I wouldn't in a million years want a Democrat to head the investigation?

You realize you're going to get another Republican. A Democrat is NOT going to head this investigation. I dislike Ryan for other reasons, he's become a weasel.

Misstatement. I was trying to point out that they don't control the investigation, nor have they put forth anything but innuendo.
 
Re: Calls grow for Nunes to step aside in Russia probe

He needs to step aside for the credibility of the committee's mission.

If Nunes were a Democrat this thread would read quite differently.

Why does it take over 900 posts to communicate things like that?
Could it be some people are avoiding the message and instead focusing on the messenger?

I'm not sure why anyone cares about 'things like that' but you can explain if you want. The person who wrote that cannot.

And it's not hard - Nunes torpedoed his credibility, which is why he should step down.

Did you see Eli Lake's Bloomberg story revealing Susan Rice as the culprit collecting the Trump transition material?
I know you trust him.

Yes, I've seen it. Doesn't surprise me at all because she's head of NSC and is one of just a very few people who are authorized to unmask U.S. persons. I've never denied that there were undoubtedly conversations where a U.S. person close to Trump was unmasked. We know Flynn's call was and I'd be shocked if many more were not.

What I don't know is whether or not the unmasking was proper and Eli Lake's story doesn't shed any light on it. What he did say was it was probably legal. I don't think "legal" will matter much - the question was whether it was proper, defensible related to a clear purpose other than political advantage.

Who told her to do it? Probably the same person who told her to say Benghazi was based on a VHS tape.

This is Watergate times a million, but certainly isn't getting covered that way.

I agree - pretty shocking we have a Russian puppet sitting in the Oval Office - Watergate times a million indeed.

No, thankfully the Russian puppet was defeated. Not before she handed over the uranium unfortunately.

She never handed over any uranium. Repeating that nonsense just makes you look like a hopeless partisan.
 


Susan Rice Sought Names of Trump Associates in Intel
Eli Lake, Bloomberg View

White House lawyers last month learned that the former national security adviser Susan Rice requested the identities of U.S. persons in raw intelligence reports on dozens of occasions that connect to the Donald Trump transition and campaign, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
The pattern of Rice's requests was discovered in a National Security Council review of the government's policy on "unmasking" the identities of individuals in the U.S. who are not targets of electronic eavesdropping, but whose communications are collected incidentally. Normally those names are redacted from summaries of monitored conversations and appear in reports as something like "U.S. Person One.". . . .

And you probably also think the Clinton Foundation was a really up-and-up charity organization, too, eh?

What the "F" does that matter now? Clinton isn't president, Trump is. Why don't you do some looking into the Trump foundation and the sources and uses of those funds. Nah, never mind. Even if there was hard evidence Trump used those funds, meant for charity to commission the painting of his own portrait (which he did) you'd think it was ok. Trump supporters' blind devotion to their dear leader is truly amazing.

Rice thought she was ordering Chinese take out. You know, one from column A, two from column B - that kind of thing. Them names just happened to be inside the fortune cookies. Shazzam.

I wonder if there is going to be any day in the next 3 years and 10 months where someone won't scream "But HILLARY!" in a thread about Donald J. Trump - the man who beat her on that November night in 2016.

Schiff Mum on What He Saw at White House

I love Byron, always did. But I'm not sure what Schiff was/is supposed to say. It's an ongoing investigation and these are classified documents. I saw the Schiff interview yesterday. He did say he doesn't agree with Nunes' "characterization". Nunes also has said what's in them, and he's the one who wanted everyone in the world to know about them. Schiff didn't go public - Nunes did.

I know - I've been noticing that pattern as well. It was more than fair in my opinion to question HRC's trustworthiness before November 8th. Her lack of trustworthiness was the major reason, in my opinion why she LOST. So Trumpee's should get over it - they won - the only thing Trump supporters should be worried about right now is whether or not they've been backing someone even worse. In my opinion, their contrasting Trump's ethics with HRC's is a way to deflect attention from the fact they're supporting a childish, psychotic, childish clown - and that the US's standing in the world is heading for a much worse place than it would have been under an HRC administration.
