Devin Nunes...

Okay - so we all know that Nunes is basically a spy embedded in the House Intelligence Committee working on behalf of Trump. Everything that is said behind closed doors, in special session etc. goes back to Trump. So, is there anything Schiff can do to impede Nunes' unethical, if not illegal, behavior? How can he be trusted to sit in on these hearings, briefings, reviews of evidence and testimony that's supposed to be "classified" or at least confidential, without revealing (aka leaking) to Trump (aka the target of the investigation.) Aren't there any repercussions for this guy?

as saying it is going directly to Putin as well. I hope they do a bug sweep of Nunez and where ever he has been before he goes into a closed session.

but also his or her voice should be altered to protect the identity so Devil Nunes can't go rat the whistleblower out to Trump.

Like a divider across the room between each party so the Dems could not see what underhanded hi-jinx Nunes and co were up to?

Maybe put that up again for a worthier cause.

Maybe I read too much fiction, although these days it is difficult to discern the difference.

I would think he can appear before the committee as John Doe to protect his ID. If Nunes cries that he has to have his name it would be pretty suspicious.
