The counter-narrative continues
by digby
We have Lindsey Graham agreeing to go after Hillary Clinton and the FBI from his perch as the new Chairman of the Judiciary Committee in order to throw some bloody red meat at the slavering Trump base. (He’s running for re-election in South Carolina.)
Now Devin Nunes is back in business:
House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes exclusively told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” that he is preparing to send eight criminal referrals to the Department of Justice this week concerning alleged misconduct from “Watergate wannabes” during the Trump-Russia investigation, including the leaks of “highly classified material” and conspiracies to lie to Congress and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court.
The dramatic step comes as Republicans have pushed for the release of key documents to uncover the origins of the now-discredited narrative that the Trump campaign colluded improperly with the Russian government. President Trump recently told Fox News he would release the entirety of the FISA applications used to surveil one of his top aides, and other related documents.
Nunes said he has been working on the referrals for more than two years, and wanted to wait until the confirmation of Attorney General Bill Barr.
They needed Trump’s Roy Cohn and they seem very convinced that they finally have him.
Fasten your seatbelts. These next two years are going to be doozies.
