Eleventy-dimensional Stratergery from Devin Nunes!
Comically bad Inspector Clouseau tribute artist Rep. Devin Nunes was invited to Spokane Washington to help raise funds for Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (famous for her MLK Day diversity celebrations), and as the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee (thus proving Eiron the Goddess of Irony is doing good work), Nunes’ words to Republican donors takes on heightened value. The press was not invited.
And in short, he eff’ed a chicken.
- Admitted he cringes at Comrade Stupid’s stupid tweets.
- Said that Wingnuts hadda win the house because they were the last defense for Prznint Stupid!
- Stated that if a foreign government (such as Portugal?!) gave a US candidate stolen material (such as emails) and if the candidate used those stolen emails in the campaign, that using them indeed would be a crime.
- Admitted that the Freedom Caucus introduced a motion to impeach Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein so that Trump could appoint someone who would be willing to fire special counsel Robert Mueller.
- Said that the leadership wants to delay Rosenstein’s impeachment until after Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed to the Supreme Court because if Rosenstein were impeached right now, the Senate would be forced to drop everything and try Rosenstein.
OK, so not a lot there we did not already know or surmise, BUT having all our suspicions confirmed does give them greater value, and Nunes’ words are sure to be used in ads throughout the remainder of the 2018 Pie Fight.
Cathy McMorris Rodgers’ re-election just moved into the toss-up category. Related?
McMorris-Rodgers, tossed up and out. Also, too, off with her head, in addition, as well.
By the election of Lisa Brown!

I’m pretty sure Rosenstein’s impeachment is bigly becoming a priority over Kavanaugh’s confirmation. Plus it has the potential of being a complete waste of time which Nunes is getting very good at. Winning.

Nunes McM-R just showed how utterly ignorant they are about how the Senate actually works. Neither Kavanaugh’s advice and consent nor Rosenstein’s supposed impeachment and conviction is a matter of fiscal calendar urgency so the HOR cannot do didly squat to get the Senate to prioritize one over the other or otherwise affect the calendar of when or even if the Rosenstein “conviction” would even be taken up by the Senate. Clueless wonders. McConnell is going to ram through Kavanaugh for sure.

Since Nunes didn’t say this on the floor of the House, is it protected under Congressional “speech and debate”? If it’s not protected, he just incriminated himself on obstruction of justice.

Nah, not covered by its literal terms. (Article I, Section 6, Clause 1)
…shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their attendance at the Session of their Respective Houses, and in going to and from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.
Would love to see if it’s evidence of a felonious conspiracy to obstruct justice! That would be just too cool.

is Nunes trying to put Giuliani out of a job?

That could be serious. Who the hell is going to hire Giuliani after this manure show? How’s he supposed to seduce Wife Number Four?
