Rep. Doug Collins Loses It Over Devin Nunes Getting Exposed In Ukraine Plot


Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) threw a fit at the Trump impeachment hearing because Rep. Devin Nunes’s role in the Ukraine plot was exposed.

Doug Collins wants Devin Nunes crimes to remain a secret

Collins said:

What the problem I have herein is this, is if Rudy, Nunes were the only phone records returned from the subpoena, what why are these released? Here’s the problem. You took the committee and this is why I want to know who ordered it, the committee made a choice, Chairman Schiff, I’m assuming he’s not here or you who did get to come, thank you for showing up, made a conscious choice to put these records into the report. It was a drive-by. It was a gratuitous drive-by you wanted to smear the ranking member Orr these others because they were in those numbers that were connected to that. I’m not saying you knew the content or anything else.

In fact, you just admitted a second ago it was simply they were contacting these people. The problem I have with that is, you could have just as easily put if you’re wanting to do a professional non-smear report said congressperson one or congressperson two. Reporter one, reporter two. If they did not contribute to your report it is nothing but a drive-by. That’s the problem I have here.

According to Republicans, like Rep. Collins (R-GA), Adam Schiff is a “fact witness” who must testify, but the phone calls between House Intelligence Committee ranking member Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) and Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani should have remained anonymous.

Nunes is likely facing an ethics investigation at minimum for his role in Trump’s Ukraine shakedown., but Doug Collins is showing that beneath the Republican impeachment sound and fury is a heart of corruption.

1. Yeah sorry your buddy got outed but it was freaking obvious anyway. nt

[lagomorph777]

6. OMG what a bunch of word salad that clown is spewing.

Is he like that on the campaign trail? Totally incoherent.

[CaptYossarian]

9. Maybe he's scared they're getting close to exposing HIM.

The whole wretched party is in on it. They've all been collecting rubles. Probably ever since Lee Dreyfuss and his RED vest ran for WI governor in 1980. (I wondered about that back then.)

Whatever happened to "Better dead than red"? That was the GOP mantra since McCarthy.

[DemocracyMouse]

27. Who, or what committee, is investigating these Russian "donations" (bribes) to the Repubs?

[lagomorph777]

45. I think you've nailed it. Nobody gets that messed up on somebody else's behalf.

He knows he's implicated and he's terrified.

[skypilot]

13. IKR.

I'm reading this thread in the hope that someone will translate that rant into English.

[SergeStorms]

18. They're speaking in MAGA.

Translation: "Donald Trump did nothing wrong, and even if he did it's not impeachable. Any republican connected to this witch-hunt is therefore innocent of any wrong-doing as well."

I think that's the basic gist of all their sound and fury, but I'm not - I repeat NOT - fluent in MAGA, and it could mean something else entirely.

[DENVERPOPS]

23. Hey SS

that's a good one, calling their idiotic, hypocritical, circumlocution of bullshit, drivel, "MAGA language"....

I got a good laugh out of that one! Good on you.........

[SergeStorms]

25. It's unlike any other...

language known to humanity. Only dumb-shits can translate it instantly. The rest of us need all of the combined wisdom the internet can provide.

[magicarpet]

28. MAGA SPEAK.....

....that was it sounds like a one trick dog.

[Maraya1969]

29. The "Drive by" is them outing Devin Nunes I believe. I'm not sure how they did it.

But notice he was saying, "you could have used, "Congressman 1 and congressman 2" but instead.....you did a drive by.

He's mad and they're afraid because the names are starting to trickle out now. And they might be next.

[ck4829]

50. Right

[SWBTATTReg]

2. Collins is enabling this corruption to continue. He shall be judged, one day on his ...

role in this whole mess. History one day will mock the role of all of these republican lawmakers in covering and concealing the criminal conduct of rump and his cronies. History will not be kind.

[malaise]

3. And it's Schiff's fault that Nunes

got caught

[dem4decades]

4. He really hated that Nunes got caught in the investigation.

I wonder if the SDNY would look the other way?

[CaptYossarian]

10. Please, no. Anyone charged by the SDNY cannot be pardoned by the president.

Doncha love the Constitution?

[SergeStorms]

19. Why couldn't they be pardoned?

The SDNY is still part of the Federal Justice Department.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

22. Presidents cannot pardon people for *state* crimes

but I'm not an attorney, so I could be wrong about this, but I think that's what I understand.

[SergeStorms]

24. But the SDNY is still a federal court.

The New York State Attorney General has it's own bones to pick with Trump and his progeny, but the Ukraine investigation is all federal. The Southern District of New York isn't a New York State district, it's a federal district. They should name it something else, because the name creates a lot of confusion for people when they see 'New York' in the title.

[Maraya1969]

30. Shit you are right. Why are we so excited about their charges then?

[CaptYossarian]

36. I heard a Constitutional expert say it on TV. It sounded good.

[SergeStorms]

39. I think....

the republicans have the bullshit piled so high right now everyone is a little loopy.

[Pepsidog]

5. Somebody gotta ask these Republicans what dirt Russia has on them to carry Russia's and Trump's H2O

[lagomorph777]

7. Every one of them should be questioned about that at every presser.

[CaptYossarian]

12. How would you go about subpoenaing Russian hookers?

There's your answer. Maybe they've peed on everyone. That would explain why McTurtle and Grassley are so wrinkled.

[Maraya1969]

31. That was funny!

"Why they are so wrinkled!"

[CaptYossarian]

38. Just like being in the tub too long.

[aggiesal]

8. This is what he forgot to say! ...

Let's just forget the fact the this was a complete conflict of interest which I won't mention, but here’s the problem. You took the committee and this is why I want to know who ordered it, the committee made a choice, Chairman Schiff, I’m assuming he’s not here or you who did get to come, thank you for showing up, made a conscious choice to put these records into the report. It was a drive-by.

Nunes should have recused himself as a party of interest. Schiff had every right to point out the conflict of interest and hypocrisy of Nunes.

[magicarpet]

34. Plus the fact that Parnas said Nunes was well aware his top secret inquiry into anything about ....

.... Ukraine had to be low key, and had to be done quickly. Because if the new House (2018 election), now controlled by the Dems. - Nunes' secret inquiries and secret travel to Ukraine had to be done before the Dem House was sworn in and Schiff took over.

If Nunes had not completed his secret mission to dig up and/or fabricate dirt to help trDump get re-elected - Schiff might find out because he would become the new chair of the House Intelligence Committee.

Nunes was well aware that his super top secret work to help Russia be exonerated, cast the blame on Ukraine and Biden, and help trDump get re-elected via extortion and bribery was not above board and highly illegal.

Team trDump pulled off the Mueller fiasco and got away scot free. Now they wanted to pull off the Ukraine fiasco also scot free.

They almost pulled it off and Nunes two faced double dealing almost went unnoticed and remained top secret to the select few at Team trDump.

But then, after he got arrested and locked up by the feds, Parnas was highly offended that trDump threw him under the bus and totally denied ever knowing him. So Parnas blew the whistle and divulge pertinent issues pertaining to secret details of the Ukraine fiasco, how Rudy and Team trDump were key players, and dropped the bomb that Nunes was on a top secret mission in the background playing his hyper super secret squirrel role to help trDump's re-election -while Nunes double crossed Ukraine and the House Intel Committee.

Then proceeded to play dummy as the House Intel. Investigation grew deeper,... purposely not revealing his flagrant conflict of interests and his top secret missions for trDump - to fuck Ukraine , help Russia, and help trDump win a second term had never happened.

Nunes is a snake, Nunes is a weasel, and Nunes is more slimy than the goo trail left behind a slug or snail.

[NBachers]

11. Yes, I saw his tantrum directed at Daniel Goldman. Goldman stood his ground; good for him.

You could say Collins was wetter than a mad hen, or madder than a wet hen.

[efhmc]

15. Not sure if you are asking how the saying goes, but if so it is madder than a

wet hen.

[smirkymonkey]

14. I really apologize to all southerners, but this hearing has gotten me to the point where

I absolutely despise southern accents in politicians. I am so sick of their redneck, ignorant bullshit. I know not all southerners are like this, but something about hearing that accent in a politician just pushes my buttons.

[luvallpeeps]

44. That Gohmert guy's accent gets under my skin too!

I have to mute it.

[marieo1]

16. Thrown out of WH

I have never in all my life seen such stupidity!! They are screaming about someone breaking the law and getting caught!! What a bunch of ignorant morons. Every day it gets worse and worse - how did all these people ever get elected in the first place? Anyone with 1/2 a brain that listens to Adam Schiff and Swalwell and others knows they are law abiding citizens and determined to do what is right and lawful for our country. They have allegiance to our country not some jacka__!! My opinion - the whole damn mess needs to be thrown out of the Whitehouse!!

17. Guardian Of Putin

Collins flipped his small lid when he wasn’t named Senator from Georgia.

[Blue_true]

35. That Geoegia situation is not final yet.

My guess, the Georgia governor crumbles and name Collins as the official person to fill the seat. Republicans are self preservers by instinct, that Georgia governor is under intense pressure to reverse himself and officially name Collins to the seat. Collins is doing his part by being an asshole on Judiciary.

Just watch.

Don’t know if Collins is their Chosen One.

Heaven help America if he is.

[triron]

20. Does anyone have what Goldman's reply to this BS was?

[usaf-vet]

21. Nunes has been playing fast and loose since tRump got in office. U earn respect or U earn distain.

Nunes got just a little bit of what he has earned. So Devin if you want to play in the big boy pasture you are bound to get some well deserved S**T.

32. Speaking in tongues

I wish they'd take up handling snakes.......

[magicarpet]

37. The highly venomous variety,.. cobras and vipers are good.

[Lowell]

47. Perhaps we could change

their symbol from an elephant to a snake, too.

Think that AR 15 makes you brave, boy? Put that pop-gun down, and say hello to "John the Revelator". Be careful, he's mean one!

[Blue_true]

33. Collins is doing overtime licks on Trump's ass so that Trump steps in and get

Collins that Georgia US Senate seat. Watch the governor of Georgia crumble in the next two weeks and name Collins to the seat.

[tulipsandroses]

40. I may be wrong, but I don't think that's going to happen

I think Kemp knows he stole that Election. OR that it was too close for comfort.
Georgia is changing. Kemp knows that. On top of that, he's looking at the fact that suburban women are abandoning the Republican Party. You put a Trump sycophant like Collins up for that seat and you are almost guaranteed to push those Suburban women further away. Kemp is gambling on Kelly Loeffler holding on to suburban women. Its good political strategy in a way that dumb ass Trump can't see. He thinks that he can MAGA his way through everything. He should see the last few elections that have called on him that have lost. Suburban women are tired of his antics. I hope a democrat takes the seat - which is what Kemp is trying to prevent. Apparently Goetz has promised to primary Kemp if he doesn't appoint Collins, its all so laughable. Kemp barely won or he stole the damn election. Stacy still wants to be Governor. And I bet she would run circles around all of them if there is not voter suppression and cheating the next time around. I recently relocated from GA to FL. The energy for Stacy was electric and still is.

[Blue_true]

41. The problem is this.

Suburban women come into play during general elections, not primaries. Trump's MAGA base dominates primaries, just as our more left Democratic Party members loom larger in primaries than their numbers warrant. Kemp will be worried about his own ass, a hostile primary can take him out in 2022, after the one in 2020 takes out his less strident appointee. That is the dynamic that Collins is creating. Trump only cares that someone is criminal enough to try to protect him from justice, Collins is doing that. Trump and his minions are likely, at this very minute, putting massive pressure on Kemp to name Collins.

Welcome to Florida, maybe you can help us get rid of DeScum and Rubio in 2022. I like Niki Fried, the AG Commish in a run against DeScum, I believe that she can beat him. To take Rubio out, we should run someone from the I4 corridor who has some statewide cred, preferably a Cuban ethnic Hispanic, I think that we have a democrat in Congress who fits the bill, young, high profile, progressive, Cuban ethnic origin.

[tulipsandroses]

42. Thanks for the welcome to Florida

Most definitely plan to do my part in my new home state

It will be interesting to see how it all plays out in GA. Kemp is a snake, just like Trump. At the end of the day. I think Kemp will do what is best for Kemp. Stacy crushed him in the suburbs.

If there is rematch in 2022, I don't think he wants Collins running alongside him.

[kag]

46. Are we sure Collins isn't really from Texas...?

I've never seen a better example of this song than Collins's rant.

[ck4829]

49. Oh my
