Simply: where is the command and control center for the Nunes memo machinations?

As bad as it is, as big a steaming pile of bullshit as it is, someone is directing the players.

Who?

Not "The White House" or "The Congress". I'm hoping someone has specific names. Who is the inept "evil genius" keeping all of this going?

The ‘Nunes Memo’ Ripping the Justice Department Was Written by Former Justice Department Lawyer
Kash Patel jumped from DOJ to the House intel committee where he turned the department’s most-coveted intelligence against it.

Kash Patel, according to sources familiar with the memo, read the highly classified intelligence it’s based on (something the Justice Department indicates Nunes has not done), drafted the memo, and then dealt with FBI and Justice Department efforts to keep it from being released to the public.

The FBI said on Wednesday that the memo has “material omissions of fact fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy.”

Though Nunes said he recused himself from the committee’s Trump-Russia investigation after it was revealed he worked with the White House to derail the probe last spring, it was Patel never stepped back.

Patel has been “the drafter and the pusher of the memo,” one person familiar with the situation told The Daily Beast. On Capitol Hill, some even call it “the Kash memo.” The New York Times reported on Feb. 1 that the memo was “primarily written” by Patel.

Nunes was his sacrificial lamb to redirect the heat.
