Nunes buried evidence on Russian meddling to protect Trump. I know because I’m on the committee

No one really expected President Donald Trump, who benefited from Russia’s 2016 election interference, to counter that hostile regime’s active measures: Russia wanted him to win, and when they hacked, he invited them to hack more.

But America should have been able to rely on a united Congress to ensure that our next elections aren’t just as vulnerable if not moreso. Instead, due to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes’ persistent and pernicious obstruction, America has been spectacularly let down.

Just last week, hours before the Republican-led House recessed for six weeks, Nunes broke out his shovel yet again to bury even deeper the evidence of Russian interference, once again demonstrating there’s no distance he won’t go to protect this president.

Sounds like he has played a similar game before:

Tucker Carlson demands 'smoking gun' evidence during combative interview with Democratic congressman
 May 22, 2018

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Monday for a contentious debate over the basis for the investigation into whether President Trump's campaign colluded with Russian meddling during the 2016 election.

Host Tucker Carlson asked how Swalwell would feel about an informant reporting to the FBI about one of his political campaigns, referring to recent reporting that an FBI informant spoke to two Trump campaign advisers to ask about suspicious contacts. "If they didn't have probable cause, I'd be pissed," said Swalwell, a member of the House Intelligence Committee. However, Swalwell argued, the FBI did have probable cause to investigate the Trump campaign.

He sounds very partisan, team player and questionable too. Sounds like a Democrat.

The newspaper this is from, the Fresno Bee. This story is just a day old. So apparently he has a feud going with them all the way back to 2003:

GOP's Devin Nunes escalates war against The Fresno Bee with 'unprecedented' 38-page mailer
Joshua Yeager, Visalia Times-Delta Published 5:34 p.m. ET Oct. 4, 2018 | Updated 12:08 a.m. ET Oct. 5, 2018

VISALIA, Calif. — Constituents in Rep. Devin Nunes' district may find a curious campaign mailer on their doorsteps or in their mailboxes this week.

That mailer isn't attacking his opponent in the November election or promoting the eight-term congressman's accomplishments.

The glossy 38-page, full-color magazine titled The Fresno Bees: The dirty little secrets of the Valley's propaganda machine contains criticisms of the McClatchy-owned newspaper's coverage of the congressman in office since 2003.

Swalwell is one of the most partisan of the partisans.

And, I have no doubt Nunes is withholding information.  He has to withhold the secret and privileged information.  But, I don't think it's to protect Trump, and Swalwell best be careful what he says he wants.
