A top House Democrat is calling for an investigation into House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes for telling the White House about new information that President Trump and his associates might have been caught up in government surveillance.
Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said on CNN Thursday that Nunes shouldn't have gone to the press and then briefed Trump about an investigation where Trump is a subject. Cummings said Nunes compromised the independence of his investigation into alleged collusion between Trump's campaign and Russia by doing so.
"The intelligence committee is a very special committee, they are privy to information most of the Congress may never see. You expect them to be extremely confidential," Cummings said.
"What he did was basically to go to the president, who's being investigated by the FBI and others and by the intelligence committee, to give him information. Basically what he has done is he has scuttled and put a cloud over his own investigation, and he has become the subject, basically, or he should be, of his own investigation."

I listened to the press conference while I was working hard outside, and _I_ was able to understand Nunez. Cummings is having cognitive issues if he is this confused.
Medical science needs to do a body cavity search on Cummings.
He apparently is missing key body parts...like a brain.
Maybe a trio of the usual male attachments.
I took the pictures as laughing at the idea that Cummings is a top anything, not as comparing them to him.
