What, pray tell, does Rep. Devin Nunes think he’s doing by waving around a secret memo attacking the FBI, the nation’s premier law enforcement agency?
He certainly isn’t representing his Central Valley constituents or Californians, who care much more about health care, jobs and, yes, protecting Dreamers than about the latest conspiracy theory.
Instead, he’s doing dirty work for House Republican leaders trying to protect President Donald Trump in the Russia investigation.
It’s no accident that this latest attempt to discredit the FBI and distract the public is happening at the same time special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe appears to be picking up steam – and focusing on possible obstruction of justice by the president.
Reports this week say that Mueller’s team has interviewed former FBI Director James Comey – fired by Trump over the Russia probe – and Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who recused himself from the investigation. Reports also say that Mueller wants to soon interview Trump about the dismissal of Comey, as well as the firing of former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and is cooperating with investigators.
Trump said Wednesday he’s willing to talk to Mueller under oath, subject to advice from his lawyers, of course. But he also suggested he’s being accused of obstruction because he’s “fighting back” against unfair allegations of collusion between his campaign and Russia.
Nunes of Tulare is sheltered in a relatively safe Republican district, and may believe he will pay no political price for unfairly attacking law enforcement and protecting Trump. But his performance as chairman of the highly sensitive House Intelligence Committee has been nothing short of embarrassing.

They’re craven traitors. Nice try bungholes.
Trump’s stooge? What was this written by a seventh grader? I don’t know what’s funnier, the lame insult or the fact they really are running scared of this memo.
Time to release the memo and any supporting documents — if only to shut the Bee up.
I guess all that legal pot helps these Sacramento Stoners live in their delusional alternate reality. It is simply staggering how much the leftist lunatic libtards are willing to over look to maintain and justify their warped world view.
Sacramento Bee = Dem stooges!
#ReleaseTheMemo and we'll see won't we?
“Stooge” That was my first thought: in a newspaper?!
Then I looked again. The Bee Sack, not a newspaper.
It doesn’t appear Trump can fully trust many, but Nunes would be at or near the top of that list. The onslaught against him is only going to grow. He’s done a lot of impressive things, but one of my favorites remains when the NYT went up to him recently and tried to ask him a question his response they quoted was “No way I’m ever going to talk to you” LOL.
The wave of leftist affection for the FBI is both amusing and revealing.
They display no courage or integrity or curiosity whatsoever, rather they merely spew false talking points that have been spoon-fed to them, in an ultimately fruitless effort to deceive their readers. The truth will come out, no matter how hard they try to hide it.
Do they have any evidence whatsoever that anything Rep. Nunes has said is incorrect? Of course not. So the Sac Bee opinionated idiots are simply talking out of their asses.
Why, perchance, finding out why "the nation’s premier law enforcement agency" seems to have broken some of the nations most premiere laws.
wow, an editorial board out of touch. imagine that!
The editorial board of a major California newspaper wrote this? Really?? It reads like a 5th grader’s book report and deserves about a C- at that.
I mean seriously, that’s just pathetic.
“Attacks the FBI”? No, sugarpuss, he is merely helping to EXPOSE that foul brood of bureaucratic vipers.
I really thought the memo was going to shed some light on the corruption at the highest levels of the FBI. Now after reading this well researched, hard hitting, fact filled exposé I feel totally defeated. These liberals are just too smart. Lol
Serving one large crow to eat later.
As this went on I fully expected “doo-doo” to make an appearance.
