Where are all the Rep. Devin Nunes supporters? I’m one.

Have one of you in a leadership position not made a misstep? I’m also referring to those of you who have never had a leadership position and only stand around and criticize those who try to lead.

I understand him wanting President Trump to be immediately informed of important information regarding the security of our country, for example the election.

Yes, he probably should have informed his committee first, but I can understand his haste. I’ve done a few things that I later felt should have been done differently. Haven’t you?

I’ve seen Dems who have violated the law and just moved on until it is forgotten, never resigning or apologizing. And the holier-than-thou media just keep forgetting it, until it’s old news.

As we learned in dental school, you sometimes learn more from your mistakes than you do from your successes. I don’t think his going to the president was a huge mistake; it was meant in the interest of national security.

The important thing is that we stop second-guessing, support our congressman and move forward in the search for truth and facts.
