The California prosecutor who is running against Devon Nunes in 2018, has a new campaign ad out using his ridiculous "secret memo" against him.

Courtesy of Mother Jones:  

The California Republican, who chairs the House intelligence committee, released a controversial memo on Friday alleging that the FBI abused its surveillance powers as the bureau investigated the Trump campaign’s contacts with Russia. In the weeks leading up to the release, Trump’s Department of Justice warned that making the memo public would be “extraordinarily reckless.” The FBI, now under the leadership of Trump appointee Christopher Wray, said it had “grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy.” Nunes’ hometown newspaper blasted his behavior in an editorial, referring to the congressman as “Trump’s stooge.” And Democrats on the intel. committee claimed the memo deliberately distorted classified information in an effort to discredit the ongoing investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. (It took my colleague David Corn all of a few minutes Friday to find the first error in the memo.) 

And now Andrew Janz, a prosecutor who is running for the Democratic nomination to challenge Nunes in November, is turning the memo into a campaign issue. On Thursday, Janz released a brutal new ad targeting Nunes’ involvement in the matter.

The memo also helped Janz in another way.
I think that Nunes is in real trouble here, and that his credibility is essentially in shreds right now.

Even his own home town newspaper slammed Nunes for doing Trump's "dirty work" concerning the Russian investigations.

Personally I would not be at all surprised if Nunes turned out to be yet another Republican who suddenly decides to make a career change.

    This is how you hit them. Right between the eyes. Forget political correctness, call them out and don’t back down!

    Who knows what sorry state this country (what’s left of it) will be in by November. I wouldn’t put it past dotard to orchestrate another 9/11.

      Yup. I really like to see Democrats be aggressive. We tend to be too nice to our opponents.

      6:48 I think it means that all 3 crooks invested and covered for Russia to sell gas in los angeles. It was not mentioned that the 3 also produced the odd video prior to the bengazi attack that instigated the attack. Then all 3 made up stories against secretary Clinton and of course wasted tax dollars with a fake investigation. All 3 are corrupt liars on fire.

      "Russia's house band in the natural gas business is setting up gigs in the U.S. of A. Be afraid.
      Why is Gazprom bothering with prices so low?
      Could the U.S. come to rely on Russian gas?
      When will nat gas prices recover?


      In a deal we expected to get a bit more press, Gazprom (OTC: OGZPY) and Shell (NYSE: RDS) announced a deal on Thursday that will allow Gazprom to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Shell's terminal in Baja California. The gas will then be transported via pipeline to Southern California. From Russia with love."

      6:48 Could be some of that^?
      7:42 You got that right! This>

      Agree! I've just started a "donation list for 2018" and Andrew Janz' name is first on the list. Second is Emily's List.

      I'm a retired, progressive Democrat, living in Michigan. I will donate small amounts to my favorites over the next nine months.

    It seems on some news outlets that Trump believes himself vindicated and exonerated by this memo.
    Are we living in separate realities or what?

    "Mr. Van Flein must have done well for his congressman, because he is now the Chief of Staff
    "Rep. Paul Gosar.
    Yes, that one. Rep. Gosar has distinguished himself in a room full of insane partisan hackery about the Nunes memo as the one with his hair MORE on fire than anyone else. And that’s saying something.
    [He] said on Friday that the House intelligence memo on alleged FBI malfeasance showed “clear and convincing evidence of treason” by law enforcement officials, despite lingering concerns in the intelligence community over its credibility.
    That’s right, treason. Treason which is punishable by what?
    That is correct – death."
    "Gosar announced he will urge Attorney General Jeff Sessions to seek “criminal prosecution against these traitors to our nation.” That’s right, Team Gosar-VanFlein is going to ask Jeff Sessions to seek the death penalty for James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Sally Yates and Rod Rosenstein."

    T-HEN WhO?

    Jesus. When does selling yourself mean mentioning your opponent's name over and over while throwing your own name up in print just once? I'm in advertising and I've already forgotten who made this ad... I've got Nunes down pat though.

    otHollywood ..“Harvey assaulted me but that didn’t kill me,”'

    "Saturday, Thurman, whose acting credits include Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction, and The Producers, alleges that Weinstein attacked her multiple times early in her career and discusses feeling guilty after so many women have come forward with allegations against him. “I stand as both a person who was subjected to it and a person who was then also part of the cloud cover, so that’s a super weird split to have,” "“Personally, it has taken me 47 years to stop calling people who are mean to you ‘in love’ with you,”
    ". “It took a long time because I think that as little girls we are conditioned to believe that cruelty and love somehow have a connection and that is like the sort of era that we need to evolve out of.”Thurman’s account is a major indictment of Weinstein, Tarantino, and the way women are treated in Hollywood. In her interviews, Thurman also offers an insight into the #MeToo movement that is not always so obvious: The guilt women who are victimized often feel for their perceived complicity in assaults on other women.

    Nunes needs to be investigated for ties to Russia. What was the point of his memo if he never read the intelligence behind it other than for political revenge? Or is he really stupid?

  12. That is a very poorly constructed ad. You do not repeat your opponent’s name over and over. If you have to say it, say it once. But you don’t repeat it over and over. Ask anyone in marketing. They never name their target but they always find a way so that you know exactly who they are talking about.

    The idea is great. The execution is awful.

    “While he’s engaged in all those antics in Washington, people here are struggling,”
    "The paper concluded that Nunes was “doing dirty work for House Republican leaders trying to protect President Donald Trump in the Russia investigation.”

    “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,” the Fresno Bee wrote. “But his performance as chairman of the highly sensitive House Intelligence Committee has been nothing short of embarrassing.”"

  15. Please tell Andrew Janz to relax the fake smile. It's fine to smile occasionally, but he's overdoing it and it looks fake. My guess is he's a better guy than Nunes so that's great.

    Ricardo Franco is the true progressive in this race. He supports a movement towards universal healthcare. Andrew Janz is rumored to favor the death penalty.
