The behavior of California Republican Rep. Devin Nunes has been suspect nearly from the start of the special counsel’s investigation into Russia’s election meddling and the Trump campaign’s possible involvement. Repeatedly, Nunes has shown that he fully intends to use his position as House Intelligence chairman to disrupt the probe at all costs, which includes lying to the American people and threatening top law enforcement officials.
He’s now gone as far as trying to expose a U.S. intelligence asset, which could place that asset’s life at risk. And with the help of House Speaker Paul Ryan, he’s trying to portray himself in public as a martyr, a victim of the so—called “Deep State.” Devin Nunes truly must be terrified of something.
