Nunes' Ukraine connection 'vastly undercuts everything he said this past week': CNN contributor

A revelation from an associate of Rudy Giuliani — currently facing federal charges for campaign violations –that Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) has also been involved in attempts to dig up dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden in Ukraine completely undercut his diatribes delivered during the impeachment hearings, claimed a CNN contributor on Saturday morning.

Appearing in “New Day” with host Victor Blackwell, Huffington Post correspondent Kevin Robillard said Nunes’ motives when attacking witnesses now must be considered suspect.

“Start with [Giuliani associate] Lev Parnas saying, we’re hearing from his attorney, the accusation that he actually helped set up these meetings between the ranking Republican on House Intel, Devin Nunes and Viktor Shokin, this former prosecutor general in Ukraine,” Blackwell began. “If true, a big asterisk. Frame the significance.”

“It puts a significant dent in the Republican defense used this entire week,” Robillard explained. “If Devin Nunes is standing there saying this is a conspiracy theory, they’re waving out all of these ridiculous theories to try to get Trump. But it turns out Nunes was himself involved in what Trump was doing and knew about it.”

Nunes is going DOWN--but we said that about Trump for years now.

and hypocrisy, I think it was Nunes who asked whether it was appropriate for political parties to run operatives in foreign countries to dig up dirt on their opponents.
That is literally what he did. And he then has the audacity to ask this question yesterday after his story already broke. You cannot be this stupid.

The horrible thing is that he has sat in the House Intel Comte. THAT pisses me the hell off.

He's been the lynchpin spy/obstructor between the Mafia Branch and Congress.

but this now provides evidence and details.

Similar reports were saying that Barr undertook an investigative trip to meet with somebody in Italy. The recent revelations suggest there is fire under that smoke too.

What a goddam soap-opera. If this had been proposed as a move plot, it would have been rejected as too far-fetched about 30 episodes ago.

It looks like you spent some time doing this, but it's really a duplicate of: https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142399395
and should have been added to that thread.
Also, a note - when rawstory watches tv and then reports it as a news story, it's really an opinion of the talking head.
