QOTD: A Trump transition member
by digby
This is what a lackey looks like:
“The president is a neophyte to politics — he’s been doing this a little over a year. I think a lot of the things he says, I think you guys sometimes take literally. Sometimes he doesn’t have 27 lawyers looking at what he does which I think is t time refreshing and at times can also lead us to have to be sitting at a press conference like this answering questions that you guys are asking.” —Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif.
He went on to say that he thinks tweeting is good and the president shouldn’t be attacked for it but that he shouldn’t have to be “lawyered up” before he tweets. Apparently it’s just accepted by everyone that the president is a childish cretin with no common sense.
Devin Nunes was a member of Trump’s transition team and is now the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
So we have congressman who is charged with oversight of the intelligence community excusing the president’s lunacy by saying he doesn’t know what he’s doing and blaming the press for taking him at his word.
This is how far we’ve gone down the rabbit hole, people.
