Zengerle writes that a "Suspicious" Nunes was wrong to believe that "Obama administration officials were ignoring evidence in a cache of documents collected from Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, showing that Al Qaeda was much stronger than the administration publicly contended." Zengerle says Nunes' predecessor as chairman of the intel committee, Rep. Mike Rogers, agreed with Obama officials' assessment and told Nunes the documents Defense Intelligence Agency officials were analyzing at Central Command headquarters in Tampa, Fla., showed nothing significant on that score.
Zengerle wrote that Nunes "Began his political career, appropriately enough, because he believed he had uncovered a sinister plot." He was "Utterly convinced that his alma mater was secretly planning to close its campus farm." The College of the Sequoias announced it was selling 160 acres on which its campus farm sat, and Nunes decided to run for the school's board of trustees to save the farm.
"You could tell they wanted me to say that Devin Nunes, when he first got elected, was trying to chase windmills and save a farm that didn't need saving," Zumwalt said.
Zengerle writes, inaccurately, "A few days later, after reporters exposed the ruse, Nunes recused himself from the committee's Russia investigation, although he still refused to cede subpoena power to his replacement, Mike Conaway."
As noted above, Rice admitted to doing what Nunes announced! As for Nunes' supposed recusal, it never happened, although many media reports falsely claimed it did.
Preposterously, Zengerle attempts to say that Nunes has singlehandedly crippled the committee with partisan fighting.
Zengerle claims that Trump discussed with Nunes the possibility of Nunes becoming director of national intelligence.
