Ubi bene ibi patria
" Speaker Paul Ryan gave Chairman Nunes no cover when he told "CBS This Morning" that he never told Nunes to brief the president on his secret intelligence, but did tell him to share it with the committee.
Co-host Nora O'Donnell did a good job of trying to pry the truth out of Paul Ryan and the Speaker's words did Rep. Nunes no favors.
In fact, if Ryan is telling the truth (And that's a big "if"), that's proof that Nunes has gone rogue and is working solely for the White House instead of the Intelligence Committee he chairs.
Speaker Ryan said that Rep. Nunes didn't even know the contents of the intel, only the nature of it and that "he was going to brief others."
Those others became one person, Trump.
O’Donnell asked, "Did you ask to see the documents yourself?”
“He didn’t have the documents, so I didn’t," Ryan said.
Does it make sense that Nunes went gangbusters on supposed information that he never saw?
After watching this interview, Speaker Ryan makes Chairman Nunes look more like a member of Trump's transition team than a high ranking member of Congress, tasked with overseeing important investigations.
None of Nunes' actions, according to Speaker Ryan's account, make any sense at all. Even if Nunes did get some hard-core information, he should have conducted himself accordingly, not act like an undercover spy for Trump. "
