This Devin Nunes story today is taking the absurd to completely new levels.
Nunes, top republican on the House Intelligence committee, who along with democrat Adam Schiff, are heading up the investigations into the possible Russia links to the Trump campaign and White House.
Without informing Schiff or the rest of the comittee he talks to the press this morning to say that some Trump communications may have been intercepted as part of standard US intelligence surveilence operations this past fall. He then rushes to the White House to brief Trump.
This is so wrong and messed up on so many levels.
1. Nunes offered up zero proof.
2. He's co-heading up an investigation yet divulges possibly classified information to not only the press, but also one of the people being investigated - Trump.
3. He didn't consult with the committee or Schiff, who found out about it through CNN. Schiff was visibly pissed when interviewed afterwards.
4. When asked later Trump said he felt somewhat vindicated - even though Nunes reiterated that there's zero proof of Trumps wire tap claims. He did go on to repeat Trumps walk back that wiretap was a generalization.
5. Tomorrow is the House vote on Trumpcare.it.
The legal analysists are almost speechless when asked about
