Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Wednesday said that House Intelligence Committee Chair Devin Nunes’ (R-CA) meeting with a secret source on the White House grounds was “a breach of trust.”
“I don’t like what Nunes did, going down to the White House, seeing something nobody else saw,” Graham said on MSNBC. “I think that’s a breach of trust and he’s got to repair the damage. I don’t know if he can or not.”
Nunes on Monday confirmed that he visited White House grounds and met with a secret source a day before he bypassed his own committee and alleged that communications of members of President Donald Trump’s transition were incidentally collected by U.S. intelligence.
Graham on Tuesday said that Nunes’ “objectivity” was in question and said Nunes has “lost his ability to lead” if he is not willing to share the information, and the identity of his source, with other members of the committee.
“It’s a mess. You know, Trey Gowdy, he had a good suggestion to Schiff,” Graham said Wednesday, referring to House Intelligence Committee member Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC). “Give us the witnesses you want to interview and let’s interview them.”
Lady Lindsey is great for kvetching, but when the wheels touch the ground he runs with the GOP every time.
Could people please stop with the “lady” and other queer innuendo about Graham? It’s an insult to decent women and gay men everywhere.
What we should all object to is the way the White House thinks it can toy with us, laugh at us, be dismissive of our concerns. If there were nothing to hide, it would be racing to make things clear. It would open everything up to scrutiny, including Trump’s taxes to get a clean slate for an important legislative agenda. Instead, the stalling, the attempted distractions, the increasing cover-up. Who benefits from Nunes shutting down the House Intelligence Committee this week? Trump can make distracting announcements without clutter as a result. Clearly, Nunes is a tool of the White House who shut down the committee because it demanded he do so.
Nunes is a dope…ever since his days as an agi major at UCSLO where he was pot head and coke head. A druggie in college turns right wing idiot - figures.
Lindsey is a cutie…another southern Republican fruit cake.
