Devin Nunes and Conflict of Interest
Now we know why Representative Devin Nunes was acting the way he did during the hearings. There was extensive communication between the congressman, the White House, and Rudy Giuliani. Ergo, as I posited earlier, there was a conflict. Now we have the goods.
Nunes should have recused himself from the hearings. Instead, he chose to participate and fo all he could to attack the process. He told viewers that this was a witch-hunt. Given the present circumstances, it was also a defense of his actions. These may even include a trip to Europe in search of dirt for the president.
While he was not part of the three amigos, he was truly in the inner circle. He was likely part of a conspiracy. This is what CNN reported.
A lawyer for an indicted associate of Rudy Giuliani told CNN that his client is willing to tell Congress about meetings the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee had in Vienna last year with a former Ukrainian prosecutor to discuss digging up dirt on Joe Biden.
The attorney, Joseph A. Bondy, represents Lev Parnas, the recently indicted Soviet-born American who worked with Giuliani to push claims of Democratic corruption in Ukraine. Bondy said that Parnas was told directly by the former Ukrainian official that he met last year in Vienna with Rep. Devin Nunes.
“Mr. Parnas learned from former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Victor Shokin that Nunes had met with Shokin in Vienna last December,” said Bondy.
