Representative Devin Nunes is still the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, and he’s once-again using that position in an attempt to cripple the House investigation into connections between Trump and Russia.
After the embarrassing round-robin of exaggerations, mischaracterizations, and flat-out lies Nunes proffered in an attempt to support Trump’s baseless claims that he had been “wiretapped” by President Obama, Nunes was eventually forced to recuse himself from the Trump–Russia investigation. But on Wednesday Nunes not only ignored his recusal, he violated House rules to issue a series of subpoenas designed to, once again, give cover to lies pumped out by Trump.
Donald Trump on Thursday morning ...
Devin Nunes on Wednesday …
Committee aides complained that the chairman, Representative Devin Nunes, who publicly recused himself from leading the Russia probe in April following a secret visit he paid to White House officials, failed to consult Democrats on the subpoenas.
The subpoenas asked the agencies to provide details of any requests made by two top Obama administration aides and the former CIA director to "unmask" names of Trump campaign advisers inadvertently picked up in top-secret foreign communications intercepts, congressional sources said.
Nunes move is against the rules, beside the point, and entirely designed to obstruct the actual investigation.
