Joe: John Heilemann asks if Devin Nunes is secretly a Russian agent

[Kristofer Bry]

This was posted today by the Washington Free Beacon. Maybe they're thinking people will find the proposition ridiculous.....

[democratisphere]

1. Nah. Nunes is too stupid to be a Russian agent.

[JenniferJuniper]

3. Yes, between them Boris and Natasha sported a couple of hundred IQ points on him

[Maraya1969]

6. But he asked if he was "compromised'. He could just be being blackmailed.

Doesn't Russia get agents around the world by blackmailing them?

[JI7]

8. Compromised doesn't have to mean agent.

[Perseus]

9. And what kind of stupid do you think the Russians look for?

The Man-child, Nunes, Flynn...they know who is willing to sell their souls, or if they in fact have any souls, for recruitment. Nunes has obviously shown behaviour that should be investigated, it is too obvious.

But yes, he is the kind of "stupid" Russians love. I hope Muller has the goods on him, he actually runs scared, you can see it in his face.

18. too stupid?

I don't know if Nunes is too stupid to be a Russian agent -- he can be a useful idiot for them.
It certainly appears to be the case. Remember Carter Page is a Russian agent and he also appears to be a little light in intellect.

20. The Trump administration is a Russian cell.

[kimbutgar]

2. They have blackmail material on him

I wonder what his kink is?

[FuzzyRabbit]

4. If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck . . .

[Demtexan]

5. He has a winery payed for by Russian money.

He took money from russia.

Blackmail.

He always looks like someone is coming up behind him.

[Texin]

10. Refresh my memory. I recall something about a family winery

but I don't remember the details. This was some sort of article or reference from several months ago no.

Former KGB and now FSB agents "recruit" foreign assets through a series of apparent quid pro quo interactions over a period of time and the exchanges might be considered rather insignificant initially, but as the time progresses, the pressure exerted on them is ratcheted up and any former monetary incentives or sexual "gifts" are used as blackmail. The turned assets know that they've been manipulated and compromised and they're fearful of exposure within their own nations and more frightened of the very real physical dangers in which they have now exposed themselves and any family members to.

7. If it quacks like a duck....

[cp]

11. Too stupid to be agent, but how about Russian ASSET?

Like Trumpski.

[RandomAccess]

12. I'll bet there are others who'd want to see this

[Hassler]

13. Secretly?

Nunes transmits his treason like American Telephone and Telegraph.

[Skittles]

17. so does Trump

[forgotmylogin]

22. This.

You got to it before I did!

[rkleinberger]

14. Time to send this Russian spy and traitor packing

@JanzforCongress; andrewjanzforcongress.com It is simple as that. Get him out of office. We need to support his Democratic challenger in CA-22 as much as possible. This would be the ultimate prize!

[Hassler]

15. Secretly?

Nunes couldn't be more obvious.

[Gothmog]

16. Nunes is a Russian asset

[Erda]

19. To me, Nunes is acting like

A man in fear of his life or the lives of those close to him -

way beyond being blackmailed.
