This is something important that is being overlooked because of the Kavanaugh train wreck

Nunes buried evidence on Russian meddling to protect Trump. I know because I’m on the committee

https://www.fresnobee.com/opinion/op-ed/article219558065.html

No one really expected President Donald Trump, who benefited from Russia’s 2016 election interference ...

But America should have been able to rely on a united Congress to ensure that our next elections aren’t just as vulnerable if not moreso. Instead, due to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes’ persistent and pernicious obstruction, America has been spectacularly let down.


Just last week, hours before the Republican-led House recessed for six weeks, Nunes broke out his shovel yet again to bury even deeper the evidence of Russian interference, once again demonstrating there’s no distance he won’t go to protect this president.

1. It's like Eric Swalwell is trying to work with one hand tied behind his back, blindfolded & gagged!

2. Nunes is down to only +8 in latest polling in Deep Deplorable district.

4. I always stay hopeful,

until all the votes are counted. For Nunes this is not good news going into the election with single digit polling in his favor.

GOTV and send that Tsar loving criminal home, please.

5. Well said. If you can't stay hopeful what is the point? "Hope and Change" needs a resurrection!

3. There is more to this

than Nunes protecting tRump. He is protecting himself and his family members. There is a reason why crooks gravitate to the gop. They protect each other, and deny any wrongdoing. Look at their support of the deeply flawed Kavenaugh.

7. And, Trump returns the favor by...

seeing to it that ICE leaves Nunes' family farm in Iowa alone from illegal migrant enforcement.

See: https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a23471864/devin-nunes-family-farm-iowa-california/

That is one of the best articles I've read in a long time and could become explosive against many Repugs out West.

This whole system with ICE wreaks of the mob......

8. explosive?

one thing i took from the article is that the whole town is in on it.

11. I was speaking to this possibility...

If the general public put all the pieces of this puzzle together (as the article does quite well), it could be an explosive in-their-face revelation as to how vulnerable our food supply to loss of migrant labor.

And yes, that entire town does turn a blind eye toward this issue as do hundreds of other farming towns as well as livestock and seafood producing towns. Not to even mention hundreds of construction companies, restaurants, hotels and lawn care companies.

So, that leaves us swimming in right-wing hypocrisy and behavior that wreaks of New York mob dealing. Either support Republican candidates or ICE will visit you!

The big question in my mind is what would happen if this was fully exposed and ICE was forced to fully do their job across the country? Maybe tRump's anti-immigrant/migrant bullshit wouldn't sound so good to nearly as many as it does now, especially if grocery bills hit the roof and many items became scarce.
