For weeks, as impeachment hearings came and went, Republican and Trump choirboy Devin Nunes took the microphone when it came his time to speak as ranking minority member on the House Intelligence Committee and made some inane comment like, what a “farce” he thought it was to suggest that President Donald Trump was soliciting foreign officials to intervene in the 2020 election.
All the while, however, he knew it wasn’t a “farce.”
He knew it wasn’t a farce because it now seems he may well have been part of the solicitation for foreign officials to intervene in our next presidential election.
The Daily Beast on Thursday reported that one of the indicted associates of Rudy Giuliani – Soviet-born Lev Parnas – helped Nunes arrange calls and meetings in Europe in 2018 to pursue his “investigations,” according to one of Parnas’ attorneys.
And CNN reported Friday that a second Parnas attorney told CNN reporters that Nunes traveled to Vienna in December 2018 to meet with disgraced Ukrainian prosecutor Victor Shokin. Nunes made the trip, according to Parnas’ attorney, for the express purpose of gathering manufactured dirt that could be used against Joe Biden – a Trump opponent who continues to lead in most Democratic primary polls, as well as in most head-to-head polls with President Donald Trump in a 2020 matchup.
