Let's hope Nunes doesn't get a manila envelope in his car with a piece of paper that says "Up"

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes met briefly with the rest of the committee Thursday morning, and according to one of those members, apologized after being questioned as to why he revealed he had seen intelligence memos concerning the Trump transition team without first sharing them with the rest of the committee.
Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., told CNN Nunes was asked by several members of the committee why he revealed his information the way he did, and "after a few minutes, Devin Nunes did apologize in a generic way."
On Wednesday, Nunes told reporters in the Capitol he had seen intelligence reports showing members of the Trump transition team being caught up "incidentally" in the course of normal foreign surveillance by U.S. intelligence agencies. Nunes also said he was concerned because he claimed the names of some of those people had been revealed on the reports, when normal protocol would have "masked" their identities. All of this was done without first informing other members of the committee about the information.
Speier also told CNN that the info Nunes has seen "will be with the committee tomorrow," even though Nunes said he doesn't physically have the information.
After the committee meeting, Nunes twice fielded questions about whether his revelations had been orchestrated by the White House.
Responding to the first of those questions, Nunes said, "As you know, we have to keep our sources and methods here very, very quiet. I've told the American public several times that we want people to come to us, to bring us information if they have it."
Spicer's fellow committee member Joaquin Castro, D-Tex., says he believes it's possible the Nunes information may have been supplied by the White House.
Also speaking with CNN, Castro said, "At the committee hearing earlier this week, I raised the possibility regarding leaks, that the White House could be a main source of those leaks. There are people who have a kind-of version of Munchausen-by-proxy syndrome, who want to be the source of leaks, and when everything blows up, they wanna be the savior."
Anchor Kate Bolduan jumped in, asking, "Do you think that's a real possibility?
"Absolutely," Castro said.
Nunes further explained to the media that his decision Wednesday to brief the White House on his findings was "a judgment call on my part."
It sounds more like Nunes offered an “apology” for the wacko Dem/McCain butthurt, but he still made the correct call.
And Nunes was right.
Nunes wanted to make sure the info got to where it belonged and make sure he didn’t wind up in Fort Marcy Park.
The danger here is that the investigation will now be ordered to close down because of ‘compromise’ (a Meme Which the left and msm will invent over the next few days-)
You still haven’t gotten the Memo? Only Republicans are racist, homophobic, mean and hateful and want to take food out of the mouths of babes. Oh and don’t forget Deplorable. Therefore any means, legal or not, are fair game.
As John Wayne said in “She wore a Yellow Ribbon”, never apologize, it’s a sign of weakness.
Let's hope Nunes doesn't get a manila envelope in his car with a piece of paper that says "Up"
Ir was a backhanded apology to the liberal morons. LoL.
Andre Carson is a muslim.

Exactly. He knew if someone found out he was sitting on that intel he would get a quick heart attack!
The eight Democrat members issued the letter to then DNC-Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
The signatories to the letter were Democrat Congressmen (a) Andre Carson, (b) Luis Guiterez, (c) Jim Himes, (d) Terri Sewell, (e) Jackie Speier, (f) Mike Quigley, (g) Eric Swalwell, and, (h) Patrick Murphy.
Some of the named Democrats had a history of attempting to undermine national security. Two Democrats have been linked to an emerging security breach.
The office of Muslim Cong Andre Carson, the second Muslim in Congress, employed IT’er Imran Awan. As did the offices of Cong Jackie Speier and Cong Debbie Wasserman Schultz (then DNC Chair).
The Democrats letter demanding intel access had been addressed to then-DNC Chair Cong Debbie Wasserman Schultz who got tossed out of the job after damaging campaign-era emails surfaced.
This is starting to look like a game of chicken about who’s going to lock up who first
The dem are trying to make it look like Trump colluded with the Russians to take down Hillary
But it looks like Hillary in the Dems colluded with the intelligence Community to spy on Trump
Hmmmm ..?? Jackie .. WE COULD NOT TELL YOU, BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE RUN TO CNN OR MSNBC AND BLABBED THE NEWS .. OR HELPED CNN OR MSNBC COVER UP THE TRUTH IN NUNES REPORT.
The fact that Nunes apologized is just fine with me .. doing the right thing first was more important. Nunes does not work for Jackie ..!!!!
You mean:
Better to apologize than ask permission !
Had he told the committee first, the MSN would have had the info before Nunes could get it to the President. And that’s a fact!!
Check out this video at about 9 minutes in; Adam Shifty is noted to be reading questions to Comey in which Comey in return reads his answer from a script . The two are working in concert with each other, Nunez should out the Democrats and ask why they didn’t consult with him before scripting the hearing with Comey,,, two can play this game, Nunez owes them nothing ..
