Nunes set his career on fire

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Tulare, is pursued by reporters as he leaves Capitol Hill on April 6 after a meeting with House Majority leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Bakersfield. Nunes will temporarily step side from the panel’s investigation of Russian meddling in the election because of allegations that he illegally disclosed classified information.

It has become apparent to anyone following the actions of Congressman Devin Nunes that he has shown his true colors and they are not those of our beloved Stars and Stripes but something altogether foreign to what a true American patriot would recognize.

Remember these attempts by Nunes to cover up or delay the House investigation into the Trump-Russia connections when or if Nunes comes back for re-election. I say “if” because he has set his career on fire with his actions of late and destroyed any credibility he had.

But in case Nunes does run for re-election, then vote American – not for some dupe to Trump and his Russian handlers.
