Nunes thing mystifies.

5. keep in mind a few things about the modern republican

#1, they're all about p.r.

#2, they're completely inept at government because they fundamentally don't believe in good governance.
all government is good for is taxing people, the more the non-rich, the better (while letting democrats take the blame; see item #1), to build up a fat treasury to loot, via tax breaks and such for contributors who kick back 1%. so all they care about once they're in is paying off their donors. and advancing p.r. to preserve their power.


moreover, their p.r. has become highly distorted over the last couple decades in particular, thanks to gerrymandering in house districts and the balkanization of the media, particularly due to foxnews and hate radio.


which leads to crazy results like nunes compromising an investigation and putting himself at risk of prosecution just for the sake of giving their party leader and others in the party a possible one-day news cycle talking point.
