At the start of Wednesday’s public impeachment hearings in the House of Representatives, House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes (R-CA) pointedly insulted the two witnesses: top Ukrainian diplomat Bill Taylor and senior State Department official George Kent.

“Ambassador Taylor and Mr. Kent, I’d like to welcome you here,” Nunes snarked. “I would like to congratulate you for passing the Democrats’ star chamber auditions held for the last weeks in the basement of the capitol. It seems you agreed witting or unwittingly to participate in a drama. But the main performance, a Russia hoax, has ended, and you’ve been cast in the low-rent Ukrainian sequel.”..................................................

Mr. Nunes stayed far away from facts, and resort to name calling. He sounded more like Trump than a Respected Congressman.

The principles upon which this nation was founded are under siege by fascist low life. Young people better awaken to the threat before it is too late. As for myself, my years are limited and I can only thank those who went before me for the a life style that could quickly evaporate as the nation sleeps.

And how I need to send a few $ to his opponent right now.

He certainly had that little zinger prepared by someone else, I don't believe he's capable of coming up with that by himself. I hope it's obvious to most Americans that the repubs are putting on a concerted effort at turning these proceedings into a circus, because that's all they have left.

citizens - to contrast with the trumpeters corrupt activities. nunes provided optimum shitty contrast, and ably 2nd'ed by Gym j.

[Loved Chairman Schiff's control of hearing, quietly stating the fact the [Gym]'s remarks were 'false' and that Gym knew it].

over how far foreign governments used third parties to funnel cash and or blackmail varies elected officials.
If that happens I wonder if Nunes will be on the list of those caught that knowingly accepted the money?
