Rep. Devin Nunes' handling of the Russia investigation as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee has become a major campaign issue as he seeks a ninth term in Congress.
Both the California Republican and his Democratic challenger, Fresno County Deputy District Attorney Andrew Janz, are using Nunes' high-profile role in the bitterly partisan Russia inquiry to appeal for campaign cash throughout the nation.
Janz said he has raised more than $1 million in the first quarter of 2018 in part because donors were upset by the now famous "Nunes memo" — which accused the FBI and Department of Justice of abusing their surveillance power to target a Trump campaign aide with ties to Russia.
Democrats have denounced the memo as a blatant attempt by President Trump and House Republicans to discredit special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin and possible obstruction of justice by the president.
"Traditionally, the prosecution of crimes has been a non-partisan activity, so I'm really disappointed to see my opponent and the Trump White House attacking federal law enforcement agencies and officials," said Janz, who has worked with FBI agents as a prosecutor. "It really undermines our criminal justice system, which is a cornerstone of our democracy."
That's very smart. I see Nunes' obstructionism as his main weakness.
And I am going to be watching this race very closely because Devin Nunes is at the top of my list of motherfuckers that gots to go.
Fucking 'A' teddy the 'KINK' cruZZer-Lo$er:

DeleteMore to the point, Nunes has done NOTHING for his constituents. They're paying him to do jack shit for them. Nice work if you can get it, especially with the legalized insider trading.
ReplyDeleteWhether it's the Republican or the Democrat, I don't care as long as Nunes goes down.
ReplyDeleteRohrbacher has to go too.
Issa is already out.
Those Republicans that already took themselves out of their re-election are the smart ones. Those that remain are going to have a very tough time of it. The behavior of Republicans in Congress has been deplorable and unacceptable in that of a PUBLIC SERVANT. That's what they are. They need some slaps upside the head to remind them who they are and what they are supposed to be. They are supposed to be public servants that represent ALL of the people, not just those that voted for them and certainly not corporations, who do not vote at all.
We really need to reform money in politics, now that Congress has destroyed Dodd-Frank.
OT? Wp

I live in California and the other night I got a phone call polling about "random things" and upcoming elections. Nothing sounded familiar, so I had to keep answering "Don't know, not familiar" until they got to the question at the heart of the poll. "Would you say you have a high somewhat high, somewhat low, or low favorability toward Deven Nunes?" "Oh!" I exclaimed. "It couldn't get any lower. Not favorable. Not one bit. He's got to go!" Sometimes those polls can make your day!
