'Nunes is so deep in the tank for Trump that he needs scuba gear'
There seems to be a consensus building that Devin Nunes is both a liar …
People who have worked in the White House suggest that, on this matter, Nunes and the White House simply aren’t being credible.
Graham said on the “Today” show on Tuesday that Nunes was bumbling his way though something of an “Inspector Clouseau investigation,” a reference to the fantastically inept protagonist of the “Pink Panther” comedies.
He lacks both the competence to carry out an investigation of the Trump regime and the confidence of fellow members of Congress. His position was always tenuous. As a member of the Trump transition team (and a frequent surrogate for Trump), Nunes was always a poor choice to lead any investigation into the activities of the same people he’s been working alongside. But his actions over the last few days go beyond questionable.
It’s basically impossible to believe that someone from the White House did not at least know that Nunes was coming to use the SCIF to access the information that would form the basis of his now-controversial press conference.
It’s not a matter of “either” the White House is lying, or Nunes is. It’s both.
