Devin Nunes' hometown paper gives him the business!

[DrLove]

When you get called "Trump's Stooge" by the very conservative Fresno County newspaper and folks start putting up billboards like the one below, it just MIGHT be time to cut it with the 6th grade antics. You know, maybe take off the secret decoder ring and give away your Jethro Bodine Double Naught Spy Kit to the Goodwill or your neighbor's son Skippy down the lane.

What, pray tell, does Rep. Devin Nunes think he’s doing by waving around a secret memo attacking the FBI, the nation’s premier law enforcement agency?

He certainly isn’t representing his Central Valley constituents or Californians, who care much more about health care, jobs and, yes, protecting Dreamers than about the latest conspiracy theory.

Instead, he’s doing dirty work for House Republican leaders trying to protect President Donald Trump in the Russia investigation.

It’s no accident that this latest attempt to discredit the FBI and distract the public is happening at the same time special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe appears to be picking up steam – and focusing on possible obstruction of justice by the president.

Nunes of Tulare is sheltered in a relatively safe Republican district, and may believe he will pay no political price for unfairly attacking law enforcement and protecting Trump. But his performance as chairman of the highly sensitive House Intelligence Committee has been nothing short of embarrassing.

Now, he’s being celebrated in Trumpworld with the four-page memo that accuses the FBI of political bias and misdeeds. Drafted by Nunes staffers, it apparently summarizes classified material and alleges abuse of the surveillance process by the FBI and Justice Department to target the Trump campaign.

There are reasons to be very skeptical of this memo. The FBI hasn’t been sent a copy or given a chance to respond. Democrats who have seen it, including Rep. Adam Schiff of Burbank, say it’s full of inaccuracies and innuendo. And the social media campaign #ReleaseTheMemo may be promoted by Russian-linked bots, just as during the 2016 campaign.

But now we’re supposed to believe some Republicans that there’s some kind of anti-Trump “secret society” within the FBI? It’s ridiculous.

Everyone – Republicans, Democrats, advocacy groups on all sides and the media – should do our democracy a favor: Stop with the hyperventilating and let Mueller finish his investigation and get to the truth.​

Conservative paper?

Have you been to Fresno County? I've sold the Bee a couple of promotions and been in the building several times. Not all McClatchy papers are liberal. Depends on the area. The review you posted is Tacoma/ Seattle Market - very liberal. Fresno County is agricultural and quite conservative. The paper itself is center right.

 

[depotoo]

You know I heard it put well this morning. These are not the agencies of our parents era. Today they have almost instant access to every communication that everyone participates in, whether phone, cell, email, mail, and internet. They have it all.
Laws and oversight have to become much more stringent for their ability to intercept American citizens communications.
As it is today, anyone one of us could be responding innocently to someone other than an American citizen online and in a forum such as this and that can be enough to access everything they want to about us.

Bull! Fresno could only be considered quite conservative in shit hole states.

That's because the city of Fresno is included. Trump won Devin's district - south Fresno through Tulare by 20 points. Remember too, there are 25,000 kids at Fresno State. They vote, but don't get their news from the Fresno Bee.

You and the other apologists, who continue to defend Trump need to lie (some to themselves) in his defense; in supporting Rep. Nunes you are supporting a man who is attempting to Obstruct Justice.

In fact, he is not alone as many (too many) Republican Pols in The Congress are putting their party before our national security; an effort based on a few e-mails between two employees, and a memo written in concert with the White House.

You and other members of the 5th column are in denial, and ought to be ashamed; not arrogant and hostile to an investigation which seeks to understand the already confirmed attack on our democratic institutions by a foreign power.

Because we KNOW what it is. A cherrypicked, out of context political hit job. It's gonna be a laughing stock.
Funny how the R controlled House Intel Committee wouldn't allow the minority debunking - 10 pages worth with meticulous notes.
R's (including Nunes and Trump himself) didn't even bother to read the entire thing - Devin let staffers muddle it together.

But go ahead - just know that you may lose another FBI Director:
White House worried FBI boss will quit if GOP memo is released

It's a dud my friend:
Rising White House fear: Nunes memo is a dud

Meanwhile, Devin Nunes enjoys a 10 point lead among the voters in his district. He's a local farm boy who is loved by the people of Central CA, which also has a big Hispanic worker population.

Makes you think that there might still be hope for CA. Maybe Nunes can turn CA around,who knows. its obvious he has his eye on bigger prizes in his future.

Sorry, but if The Orange Panther didn't kill his national reputation with the midnight run dog & pony show - this will finish it.

He can win an election in Tulare .. that's about it.

Apparently it's, what most people would call, a summation of what they found during the I.G. investigation.
Looks to me that everything we've been saying was true.
That without the Steel Dossier there would have been no application for FISA warrants and thus no wire-tapping.
It also says that members of the FBI and the DOJ hid the source of the dossier from the judge during the application process.
This means they committed perjury precisely as I have said..
The judge would have been interested to know that the source of the evidence was provided by a foreign agent that was paid by the DNC and the Hillary Campaign and was nothing more than opposition research.
