Devin Nunes, Trump defender, allegedly met a Ukrainian ex-prosecutor to ask about Joe Biden, CNN reports. The California congressman ducked a question about it.

Now, Nunes finds himself cast differently, entangled in the same chain of-- whether Trump and his allies sought to turn rumors and intrigue in Ukraine into a source of political attacks against Democrats in the U.S., especially former Vice President Joe Biden.

“I think you can understand that I can’t compete by trying to debate this out with the public media when 90% of the media are totally corrupt,” he said. “That’s actually what the president is accused of doing -- misusing public dollars for a political purpose.” Throughout the two weeks of public hearings, Nunes, who along with Rep. Adam B. Schiff was allowed to give opening and closing statements as the testimony proceeded, poured scorn on the process, calling the hearings “bizarre,” a “kangaroo court” and a “circus.”

Trump and his backers have repeatedly suggested that Biden engineered Shokin’s firing to protect his son Hunter, who sat on the board of a Ukrainian gas company, Burisma. U.S. officials who testified in the impeachment inquiry said that was false. The U.S. allies and international organizations that pushed for Shokin’s dismissal said at the time that the then-prosecutor general was corruptly blocking investigations into wrongdoing in Ukraine.

Interviewed on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Schiff said that if Nunes “was on a taxpayer-funded” trip “and I say if -- seeking dirt on a potential Democratic candidate for president, Joe Biden, that would be an ethics matter.”Schiff said the main interest of the Intelligence Committee, which until now has taken the lead in the impeachment proceedings, was establishing actions ordered by Trump that pertained to Ukraine.

DevinCow If you cant just say 'NO'. You are guilty.. the GOP should be labelled a domestic terrorist organization!

.....lies...

DevinCow If DevinNunes had proof the Democrats were involved in wrong doing in Ukraine he'd be in front of every camera all day.

The magnificent 7, are working so hard to cover up.

coldwarboy Looks like the has a new Michael Avenatti. Good luck with Lev Parnas. 😂

Since he refuses to answer the question because it came from CNN (🙄), maybe we can get one of his constituents to ask it. He would answer to them, no?

“Impeachment inquisitor” implies a certain amount of intellectual ability that is absent with this man.

This whole generation of republicans just aren’t that smart, and this dudes right up there on the genius chart as Gym Jordan, ugh.

n1fan4life As he should if he is going to sue FakeNewsCNN. Your headline is rather biased.

You couldn’t start off with “one of the two active California Russian assets,as voted in by SoCal residents ,,,”

DevinCow nunes resign. He wasn't 'dodging;' he thought he saw DevinCow and was fleeing in terror.

DevinCow nunes resign. Nunes leads stupidest, inept, idiotic criminal conspiracy EVER. If a Repub Party actually existed, all of them would in prison even as I type.

DevinCow DevinNunes has the most punchable face in Congress.

DevinCow Moo

Hey AdamSchiff can you call DevinNunes as a witness?

It’s an insult to call him “California’s Nunes” — he only represents some cow counties around Tulare. Ditto for McCarthy.

If these allegations prove valid, this indeed explains his overt misplaced rage in regards to obvious truths concerning the Trump investigation

He's a snake in the grass.

DevinCow Devin Nunes is a lying traitor.

After Lev Parnas reveals he purchased Devin Nunes for Putin with oligarh Firtash's money and with assistance of notorious Butt-Dial McRudypants, Devin has a new title: Devin Nunes Ranking Comrade RankingComrade DevinNunesRankingComrade RankingComradeNunes RankingComradesCow

RepDevinNunes is now under Ethics investigation on his dealings with Parnas You can’t use Taxpayers money like this... it’s illegal

MrWildcat86 DevinNunesGotCaught DeviousDevin

Devin Nunes and Gym Jordan both deserve to go to jail.

DevinCow

DevinCow Another word for dodge is side-step. And any 'Real' farmer with cows and other livestock knows a sudden side-step can land you in deep doo-doo

DevinCow There's more to this Ukraine RACKET than is, currently, plain to see. OTHERS were out to make their fortunes in that besieged nation. Perry Giuliani etc

Stop the McCarthy-istic tactics already. When is enough with you people?

DevinCow This guy is the epitome of unprincipled!

DevinCow

I loved it! When Swalwell read that article into the record, Nunes looked like his shit just backed all the way up. Priceless.

DevinCow LOCK HIM UP.

DevinCow NunesResign

DevinCow Damn, he’s gonna have to build a large barn on his “farm” for a closet for all his suits. Are they all cheap suits?

DevinCow Time to put Devin in the hot seat!

DevinCow

DevinCow Who’s paying the legal bills? This is the story.

DevinCow Of course he dodged the question. I like to say he wouldn’t know the truth if he stepped over it...however, he knows the truth, but he has sold his soul.

DevinCow DevinNunes

Now the will get sued. When will people learn.

DevinCow This twisted freak....

DevinCow

DevinCow Every single Rep. or Senator that blindly supports this wanna be strongman should answer to their constituents. We can’t let Individual 1 be the only person in their ear. We have to hold them accountable to abiding by their oath. This has to stop.

DevinCow He is his usual self; as crooked as a corkscrew.

DevinCow You mean the corrupt prosecutor of Ukraine.

DevinCow He doesn’t have the balls to bluff. He will never sue news media. He will continue to harass cows 🐄 Moo

DevinCow I think he is in for a real good milking. The Nunes “dairy family” will be remembered for some very sour milk.

So what is it in them that causes them to undertake such stupid acts to begin with? And why do they fully expect none of the details to come to light? This isn’t 1920.

DevinCow DevinNunes - Can you say, “dissemble”? 💁🏻‍♀️ When you can’t just say, “No”, you guilty, pal! 😱

I remember thinking about Nunes during the hearing...

Investigating corruption is not in itself corruption. Holy fucking shit.

He needs to go!

The is dodging the pursuit of truth

DevinCow So the party of 'We must know the name of the whistleblower and interview that person' sure seems to hide from subpoenas and direct questions about their corruption.

DevinCow Devin Nunes is so corrupt, he may have to vote on an article of Impeachment that he himself is named in. Right? That’s pretty bad. This is the most corrupt administration in our history. So corrupt, a lot of their lawyers are going to do time. Giuliani Cohen Barr and more.

Who told Devin to meet with Shokin?

asmith702 So it’s said Erdogan records everything. The day Erdogan called 45 our troops were moved, the Kurds were attacked. It’s believed 45 was told there’s a tape of kushner authorizing the arrest of Kashoggi. 45 is compromised, all crime leaders have something on him! It’s fkdup

Lock him up.

DevinCow He finally found those nude pix of trump he's been obsessed about.

DevinCow “because there is criminal activity here; we’re working with different law-enforcement agencies.” Lol. 'Different law enforcement agencies' = those not corrupted by the Trump regime.

DevinCow To be fair, he did admit that there is criminal activity. The problem is that it’s his own.

DevinCow We've finally reached the Emerald City, only to find out that Nunes is not OZ, he's just a dude behind a curtain with a megaphone.

What a crap headline, but what do you expect from fake news, HE TOLD CNN MONTHS AGO, HE WILL NOT TALK TO THEM, NOT NOW NOT EVER...FakeNews CNN is running this bs narrative and I can't wait till he does sue, and all the bs comes out. Those 4am narrative meetings, cnn's emails.

DevinCow Both Devin and Donald did crimes and betrayed America.

DevinCow Nunes is dodgy you say?

DevinCow Or as Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee called it during Watergate, “a non denial denial.”

So what?

California's Russian asset, Nunes, dodges question over alleged audio and video with Ukrainians

DevinCow

Damn DevinNunes is gonna have to sue the LA Times too! Am I right, jonfranks DevinCow RepAdamSchiff RepSwalwell

He is suing the publications who accused him. I think that is response enough.

Look very close at these Republicans in our Capital. Study their faces & cruel expressions. Notice the affection they have for their own witty twisting of truth & reality. Theirs are the faces of doom & destruction. Caste out these evil spirits. AWAY!

The Leftist Times again , how many more left leaning articles can you find , I've noticed no rebuttals are ever printed , if they are , they're buried where no one will see them ....

god_gets 🐮Moo

He’s actually suing CNN and Daily Beast over the malicious libel. Be better, LA Times.

How dare anyone lookninto bidens well known corruption.

ALLEGEDLY.. hmmm? does LA Times work with CNN hmm?

These propaganda rags always leave out facts. Straight opinion pimps.

Protecting the constitution & upholding the laws are mere formalities for some of those who took the oath. Disgraceful indeed

What's your proof?

He is suing CNN for false reporting.

Probing possible bribery by the ex VP does require questions.

? If true, is that illegal

It’s clear now, 🐄 Nunes played a role in the effort to look for dirt in Ukraine, it brings me to question, wthat was the role of Moscow Mitch and Lindsey Graham? Their hands may be dirty? Why they defend tRump so fervently ImpeachTrump ImpeachmentVOTE

The Republican party is diseased.

Investigating corruption & crimes against the USA and protecting We the People from enemies, foreign and domestic, is what our elected officials are supposed to do.

Just joined the defendant list. Good work La Times.
