Midnight Meme Of The Day!

In case you missed it, subpoenaed telephone records have revealed that the Republican Party had one of its House Intelligence Committee members, its highest ranking one, in regular contact with Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani (and his associate Lev Parnas) in a set up that was presumably feeding the Trump team with whatever information the committee was uncovering or investigating. The phone calls in question occurred at the same time withholding Congressionally-approved money for Ukraine's security was being discussed in the White House. Coincidence? The list of calls also reveal a number frequently associated with the OMB (Office of Management and Budget. Mick Mulvaney is the head of OMB and also serves as Trump's Chief Of Staff. Another coincidence? Context matters. We already knew of at least one instance of Nunes making a late night physical appearance at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. In other words, to use spy parlance, the White House had a mole on the House Intelligence Committee. The records confirm that that mole is named Devin Nunes, the top ranking Republican member of the Intelligence Committee. The Russian GRU (formerly the KGB) could not have done a better job, and "maybe" they did.
Trump's Russian pals benefit from any lack of security Ukraine has to endure. Ukraine is at war with Russia which already has its soldiers on Ukrainian soil. It's worth noting what Trump has already done in abandoning the Kurds and giving his pal Putin a better foothold in Syria. No matter how much the Republican Party tries to cloud the picture, the call list shows that Nunes was much closer, through Giuliani and Parnas, to the Ukraine scandal than he and his party let on.
Suppose a gang of thieves had stolen the contents of a Brinks truck. Now suppose that the police detective team investigating the case had a corrupt detective in their midst who was feeding the thieves with daily updates of information as to what the cops knew and how close they were getting to cracking the case wide open. The gang of thieves would know exactly what incriminating evidence to try to hide or obfuscate, what cover stories to create, and when to change hideouts. That's what the Republican Party, in this case, seems to have done in a nutshell. If I was in charge, I would be wanting to see if any provisions of the RICO act can be applied to any or all of this just like they would with any other mob family. In a sane Washington world, it would be.

Elliot Ness is dead. Who else would have taken on this task?
RICO only applies if there is an actual crime. The democraps have only alleged abuse of office. There are rumors they'll add obstruction of congress for ordering that Intel Committee subpoenas be ignored. This rings curiously hollow because the democraps never issued civil contempt charges for those ignoring subpoenas. But American government is never anything if it is not hypocritical.
Could it be that Jordan was added to the committee so he could feed the white house intel if nunes decided it was too problematic to continue doing so and/or if nunes was indicted with the 2 ukranians and rudy911?
Unfortunately, people like Noah aren't the kind of people that fill the seats of power. It's plain that he would push for criminal charges and convictions and apply the RICO statutes as he says he'd be wanting to. It's also unfortunate that, as he often says. Washington takes care of its own.
