But the most important thing people need to know about these documents is not classified and it's a couple of thing. First, the deputy assistant to the white house informed me when I went to see them that these are exactly the same materials that were shown to the chairman. Now this is a very interesting point. How does the white house know that these are the same materials that were shown to the chairman if the white house wasn't aware what the chairman was being shown? And the second point was also made to me, this is, I think, was also underscored by Sean spicer and that is that it was told me by the deputy assistant the materials were produced during the ordinary course of business. The question for the white house and Mr. Spicer is the ordinary course of whose business? Because if these were produced either for or by the white house, then why all of the subterfuge? I think the answer may come from the president, himself, and you can say a lot of things about the president, but one thing you cannot say is he's not subtle. And I think his tweets tell the story and the story is look over there at leaks and look over there at anything the Obama administration we can claim did wrong on incidental collection or anything else. But whatever you do, under no circumstances look here at me or at Russia. I think that is really what is going on.

worked as a U.S. Attorney.
His questions lets the White House know he is onto their scam with Nunes.
So Nunes went to the White House and got something after which he took
whatever he got from the White House back to the White House the next
day in order to show that something to the President.

(1,589 posts)different set of documents? Nunes at his news conference seemed genuinely spooked. If the original documents he saw somehow involved him that could possibly explain why he so quickly became a willing pawn. This Whitehouse seems capable of anything, fueled by a win at any cost mentality. Just trying to look at all the possibilities and make some sense out of a crazy situation created by a bunch of keystone cops.

Sorry Devin it doesn't work like that.
Manafort and and Flynn are already going to jail, maybe Nunes will get an adjoining cell.

(4,642 posts)not only did they work with a foreign agent to steal this election they are helping to hide the facts. Add to that voter suppression, gerrymandering and violation of the RICO act you have massive fraud never seen before in this country. All enabled by a few filthy rich mobsters like the koch brothers. The republiCon party needs to go down big time for this, whatever it takes.

(14,167 posts)He's strong, he doesn't mince words, and he carries an air of authority. He's not one to be pushed around. He will fight for the people's interests.
These are excellent questions. We owe a lot to Mr. Schiff. For a while there, he was the person nearly single-handedly keeping the Russia issue in the media, when the WH was pushing to have it covered up.
