Security writer: The Frivolous Case v. Devin Nunes
Eli Lake at Bloomberg admits Democrats “appear to have collected another trophy” with House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes’ recusing himself from investigations involving President Trump, Russia and Obama administration surveillance. Yet, while Nunes clearly “compromised the integrity of his investigation,” the fact is the “unmasking” information he received was “serious enough that the ranking Democrats on the House and Senate Intelligence Committees have now agreed” to look into it. As for the Ethics Committee probe against Nunes, which led to his recusal, it’s “a ruse, meant to distract from the bigger question of how the Obama White House was receiving raw intelligence reports on the activities of Trump and his advisers after the election.”
