WASHINGTON — Former CIA Director John Brennan on Sunday criticized House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, saying the GOP lawmaker "abused" his office by issuing a memo with intelligence information declassified by President Donald Trump last week.

Republicans on that committee released a controversial memo Friday charging that senior law enforcement officials improperly omitted political motivations in requests for a FISA warrant monitoring former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. GOP committee members voted down the release of a Democratic-authored aimed at refuting those charges.

“That Devin Nunes and Republicans denied the ability of the minority, the Democrat members of that committee, to put out its report is just appalling,” Brennan said on Sunday’s “Meet The Press.”

“I think it, it really underscores just how partisan Mr. Nunes has been. He has abused the office of the chairmanship of HPSCI. And I don't say that lightly."

1. Nunes should be resigning Monday

...if he had any brains... so there's that. Maybe someone will buy him a clue.

2. Call Paul Ryan

Ryan needs to hear from people who think Nunes is an incompetent, biased idiot who is helping Trump hoodwink the public instead of doing his job. Why is Nunes still Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee? Ryan can and should replace him.

3. Nunes is a stooge.

He's a useful idiot for the "deep state" GOP and their nefarious bullshit. And if there is a "deep state" you can bet the GOP controls it, and not Democrats or shady figures hiding in the shadows. Shady figures hiding in the shadows are strictly the domain of the GOP.

In the words of Colonel Kurtz, "you're an errand buy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill". Nunes bends over backward trying to make points with anyone he thinks is in a position of power. He wants to please them so badly!
