House Intelligence Committee chair Devin Nunes made some strange pronouncements today.
He hasn’t seen evidence the Trump campaign was in contact with Russia. Donald Trump was too busy to think about sanctions the day Obama imposed sanctions. There’s no conflict in repeating talking points from the people you’re in charge of investigating.
Of all the statements the congressman made to the press today, only one held any value for the special prosecutor’s investigation that must take over from the compromised congressional committees: it gives them a witness to call.
“NUNES: No, look, I think this whole issue with General Flynn — General Flynn is an American war hero, one of the — put together one of the greatest military machines in our history providing the intelligence to basically eliminate al-Qaeda from Iraq. And he was the national security adviser designee, he was taking multiple calls a day from ambassadors, from foreign leaders and look, I know this because the foreign leaders were contacting me trying to get in touch with the transition team and folks that wanted to meet with President Trump or — President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Pence.” [emphasis added]

Rep. Nunes, by his own words, fielded calls from foreign leaders while working on the transition team. Which foreign leaders, to which team members, regarding what?
Details I’m sure the congressman will be glad to clear up. Under oath.
Can I get a witness?
