Nunes buried evidence on Russian meddling to protect Trump. I know because Im on the committee

No one really expected President Donald Trump, who benefited from Russias 2016 election interference ...
But America should have been able to rely on a united Congress to ensure that our next elections arent just as vulnerable if not moreso. Instead, due to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes persistent and pernicious obstruction, America has been spectacularly let down.
Just last week, hours before the Republican-led House recessed for six weeks, Nunes broke out his shovel yet again to bury even deeper the evidence of Russian interference, once again demonstrating theres no distance he wont go to protect this president.

(7,888 posts)until all the votes are counted. For Nunes this is not good news going into the election with single digit polling in his favor.
GOTV and send that Tsar loving criminal home, please.

That is one of the best articles I've read in a long time and could become explosive against many Repugs out West.
This whole system with ICE wreaks of the mob......

(14,494 posts)If the general public put all the pieces of this puzzle together (as the article does quite well), it could be an explosive in-their-face revelation as to how vulnerable our food supply to loss of migrant labor.
And yes, that entire town does turn a blind eye toward this issue as do hundreds of other farming towns as well as livestock and seafood producing towns. Not to even mention hundreds of construction companies, restaurants, hotels and lawn care companies.
So, that leaves us swimming in right-wing hypocrisy and behavior that wreaks of New York mob dealing. Either support Republican candidates or ICE will visit you!
The big question in my mind is what would happen if this was fully exposed and ICE was forced to fully do their job across the country? Maybe tRump's anti-immigrant/migrant bullshit wouldn't sound so good to nearly as many as it does now, especially if grocery bills hit the roof and many items became scarce.
