This morning on MSNBC, John Heilemann asked Sen. Chris Murphy the following question:
Murphy replied by saying: I hope thats not the case and I certainly have no information to suggest that it is."
Notably, he did not call the notion ridiculous or absurd. Instead, Murphy suggested that Nunes was instinctually acting to protect President Trump.
Does anyone think that Heilemann would have gone out on a limb and even asked that question if his own investigating and sources did tell him that Nunes is mixed up in all things Russia? Further, I don't think it stops with Nunes. I think the stink of Russia is far and wide across Washington. And I truly believe that too many people know the truth for it not to be laid out in front of the American people sooner or later. Russiagate isn't exclusively the scandal of the Trump crime family.

(115,732 posts)methods are sophisticated and require the services of smart people. However, I will bet kroner to krugerrands that he's a Russian asset - that is, a tool; a stooge they are using to suborn the U.S. Congress. I also suspect Nunes of running to Trump with all information acquired by his committee.

(1,009 posts)I think he is. Appears hes broke as a joke (check offshore accounts). Sunk all his $51k life savings in a winery as an investment but only makes $2500-5k a year on it. Doesnt own real estate or a home. It all doesnt make sense. None of these people (gop) work in govt out of altruism. They do it to enrich their pockets. So why would he be broke?
Oh, and acts frantically guilty.
I wouldnt be surprised if every single transition team member had russian connections prior and were placed on the team just for that reason. When youre a mobster, you surround yourself with people you dont think will squeal...people complicit like you and family. I guess when youre an agent of russia you would surround yourself with other agents of russia.
