Meet the Man Behind the Nunes Memo

/0 Comments/in , /by

By WND. Before President Trump was inaugurated a little more than a year ago, few Americans had heard of Devin Nunes.

But with his leading role in the Trump-Russia probe over the past year and with the imminent release of a four-page document he spearheaded that is said to allege politically motivated intelligence abuses “worse than Watergate,” the 44-year-old Republican congressman from California’s San Joaquin Valley is in the spotlight.

As WND reported Thursday, a senior administration official told reporters President Trump has read the memo and plans to hand it back to the House Intelligence Committee chaired by Nunes on Friday for release . . .

The biggest paper in his district hometown newspaper has joined with Democrats in calling him a “Trump stooge,” charging he’s trying to deflect attention from special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of alleged collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign to win the 2016 election.

The editorial board of the Fresno Bee asked: “What, pray tell, does Rep. Devin Nunes think he’s doing by waving around a secret memo attacking the FBI, the nation’s premier law enforcement agency? He certainly isn’t representing his Central Valley constituents or Californians, who care much more about health care, jobs and, yes, protecting Dreamers than about the latest conspiracy theory.” (Read more from “Meet the Man Behind the Nunes Memo” HERE)

Pelosi Twitter Tear Targets ‘Obsessed’ Nunes Ahead of House Intel Memo’s Imminent Release

By Fox News. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi unleashed a Twitter storm Thursday, blanketing her social media feed with calls for the removal of U.S. Rep. Devin Nunes, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, which voted to release a contentious memo on purported surveillance abuses.

Using the hashtag #RemoveNunes, Pelosi wrote late Thursday: “RETWEET if you are concerned about @DevinNunes’ obsession with prioritizing short-term politics over America’s long-term national security!”

Underneath the post warning of Nunes’ “obsession,” which Pelosi pinned to the top of her Twitter account, were four more urgently worded posts – also made Thursday – calling for Nunes’ departure.

“@DevinNunes’ deliberately dishonest actions make him unfit to serve as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee,” she wrote Thursday. “@SpeakerRyan must immediately remove him from this position.” . . .

Pelosi soon doubled down in a follow-up post on Twitter, this time employing an illustration: Nunes appears superimposed behind the words “NUNES MUST GO” in all-capital letters.
