This is such a compelling story. I wonder when he got turned. And why ? I'm going to go out on a limb and say : It's hard being indebted to a Devil. The balance never seems to go down.

Another excellent piece. Thank you so much.

The Devil, the mob, tomato, whatever the RUssian word for "tomato" is...

Many times since the Nunes midnight liaison with person/s unknown in the White House I’ve been thinking that Nunes may have had sneaky illegal dealings with foreign powers well before 2015 when DJT rode the escalator in Trump tower to announce his candidacy for president. I’m of the belief that GOP and RNC both had dealings with foreign powers long before then, possibly when Citizens United became law.

When Russia’s GRU hacked DNC, Clinton and Podesta email accounts, I believe RNC and GOP were hacked as well, exposing the GOP/RNC dirty dealings with foreign powers and others. The FARA on Cater Page, on the Russian diplomatic group including Kislyak, and possibly Papadoupolus, was recorded, in this way, Trump campaign advisors were unmasked, including Trump sr and Trump jr, Manafort, Gates, Michael Flynn, GOP/RNC leaders and others.

Many Republicans, possibly exposed by FARA, or by the GRU hacking, have “retired” from congress or are Trump loyalists to the nth degree. It’s likely that Russia/Trump have kompromat on Nunes, from his secret dealings with foreign powers or those exposed by the FARA unmasking. Moreover, I believe that Russia is holding several Republicans hostage by the dirt found in the hacked RNC/GOP email, or the FARA unmasking. This would explain their tight ties to Trump trying to help him succeed in his job as “chaos/divider in chief”, excusing his many massive error/scandals as nothing burgers or telling Americans that they’re delusional, Trump lies were not lies and all of the Republican sideshow was an effort to help “Trump be Trump”. Thank the Goddess and American voters he has been fired...

Like Paul Ryan, who authorized Nunes' bad behavior by keeping him in that position...

Exactly...

Just add NRA being the washing machine that GRU was most likely using to "own" the RNC//GOP and it all starts to make some sense.

And to provide the “high stacks of cash” that NRA use to funnel into GOP coffers, to solidify their 2nd amendment rights to have “any” gun they choose...GOP using it as a cudgel over the head of democrats to keep them from ratifying sensible gun ownership regulations. In the meantime media is no longer reporting the mass shootings that occurred throughout the Obama years and during Trump’s run for the WH, including his goons, armed with AR15’s, trying to overtake Michigan’s state house...

Nunes is long time criminal on farm and family farm.

Greg. Way to nail this putz. Subversive government activity. This guy should be going to jail. Get Lev Parnas to tell the whole story, and DOD, if you are reading, deny cronies every bit of access now. How did these fucks get a clearance.

Wow, I will never get to sleep after reading that. HAHA, my mind is buzzing. I learn so much from you. Most of my life I ignored politics, but now I can't get enough. This was excellent, it's so hard to understand what it takes to turn a normal person with a good career into someone that would sell out their country. Promises of Power, finances, a trip off this planet as it burns up? What the hell? What would give you the belief that you will ever get away with it? I hope to see every single one of them pay. Thank you so much again Greg this was excellent writing.

Personally, I think the whole GOP is dirty, and Putin Corp has done its homework. I find it amazing how many GOP politicians hate (Trump or whatever) and then a few days later are bending over for (him or whomever). Lindsey Graham did this at least 20 times, resisting the #Mangowanker Turdking and then 2 days later slavering over his loafers. Ugh.
