House Intelligence Committee chair Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) on Monday said that he “wasn’t trying to hide” his meeting with a secret source on White House grounds a day before he made vague, charged allegations that members of President Donald Trump’s transition were picked up by incidental collection.
“Look, if I really wanted to, I could have snuck onto the grounds late at night and probably nobody would have seen me,” Nunes said on CNN. “In fact, I stopped to talk to several people along the way.”
Nunes on Monday confirmed to CNN that he visited White House grounds to view classified information in a secure area, but said he did not visit the White House itself.
He later told Bloomberg that his source was an intelligence official, not a White House staffer, and said they chose the location for their meeting out of convenience.
Nunes told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Monday evening that “nobody was sneaking around” and “there was nothing clandestine about it.”
“I wasn’t sneaking on, it wasn’t at night,” Nunes said. “It was in the middle of the, you know, the sun was out.”
Nunes said that he did not meet with Trump or any of the President’s aides while on the grounds.
“I’m quite sure people in the West Wing had no idea that I was there,” he said. “It wasn’t actually that exciting.”
Are you kidding me? Like jump the fence?
What the fucking fuck?
Has he lost his mind? It wasn’t all that exciting?
Geez, this guy is an effing embarrassment. He needs to recuse himself from anything regarding his beloved trump administration. (The fact that he is a fervent trump supporter says all we need to know about his judgment and intelligence.)
He probably has. Explains why FBI and NSA have cancelled briefing the committee. Also explains why Schiff has called for Nunes to recuse himself. MoFo is crazier than Baby Jane Hudson after 2 bottles of gin and a bottle of scotch.
I really think so - I think he’s fucking lost it.
Maybe we just found this presidential scandal’s Martha Mitchell.
