‘Dangerous’ Nunes has no understanding how intelligence works

Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Tulare, makes his way Monday to the House Intelligence Committee to vote on releasing a Democratic rebuttal to GOP accusations that the FBI misled a secret surveillance court.

It is very dangerous when a person with oversight of intelligence has no understanding of how intelligence gathering works.

Is Devin Nunes really as stupid as he is behaving? Does he want to degrade and cripple our intel agencies and compromise our national security the same way the degradation of the State Department has already done?

It appears that President Trump and his co-conspirators share an agenda with the Russians. I despair at how stubbornly foolish and blind many Americans are.

Thank God for newspapers.
