House intelligence chair Devin Nunes reportedly disappeared from Uber ride, fueling further questions over his role in committee’s investigation

The House intelligence committee investigation of the Trump campaign’s alleged links with Moscow looks in danger of unravelling as a result of the unexplained behaviour of its chairman, Devin Nunes, a former Trump adviser.

The Uber Mystery

some are dovetailing this with the Flynn flipped story..

Flynn’s spokesperson says he is “not responding “ to questions about flynn flipping

The best thing Nunez could do is shut up Pencil Neck AKA: Schiff.

Nunes has been under scrutiny over the past week for other reasons. He is reported to have gone missing on Tuesday night, under mysterious circumstances. The Daily Beast reported that Nunes received a message on his phone while travelling in a Uber car with a senior committee staffer in Washington, and then left the car abruptly without telling the staffer where he was going.

There are only three people that would have direct knowledge of this story...two if you consider the Uber driver wouldn't necessarily know that Nunes recieved a text.

The real mystery is who that committee staffer was.

[RummyChick]

Yep..comes from staffer

but then you get people saying he didn’t use any of the various scifs

ohn Schindler‏Verified account @20committee Follow More WH's newly hired senior #natsec lawyer, Michael Ellis, comes from the Hill, where he was HPSCI GC, ie Nunes' lawyer. Another coincidence.

Palmerreport is dodgy but it brings up an interesting point

So if Nunez was not being tailed by the left, how did they know he abruptly left a Uber ride and did not go to his designated location?

[RummyChick]

If it isn’t committee staffer...it could be person tailing Nunes combined with NSA saying he got a phone call/message

But easiest explanation is the staffer

” unexplained disappearance from an Uber ride with a staffer on Tuesday night”

Oh...I didn’t know you were owed an explanation?

[browniexyz]

Many of those “staffers” go both ways and have very questionable loyalty.

That’s been my experience!

Shaun Bowman‏ @shaunbowm More @mcspocky Nunes has confirmed he was on WH grounds - after he disappeared from the uber- jake tapper.....day before 'visiting WH'

[RummyChick]

So Nunes in Uber

Gets message

Bails on Uber

Who picks him up after he got out of the car???

Nunes goes to WH grounds after he gets out of the car

Ryan told Nunes to go to Trump

But what really could have caused this?

Flynn flipping news.
Or Nunes finds his name in surveillance docs

something really fishy

[RummyChick]

Nunes says he was on WH grounds BUT NOT IN WH???

So does that include Executive Building??
Lawn

or what

[mac_truck]
