Партизанская война

Опубликован протокол заседания комиссии по разведке, на котором республиканское большинство приняло решение опубликовать доклад Девина Нунеса. Весьма занимательное чтение:

Пресловутый доклад писали долбанутые сотрудники Нунеса, которые ранее тайно ездили в Лондон, чтобы пытаться подловить там Кристофера Стила.

Two sources familiar with the matter told me that much of the heavy lifting was done by Kash Patel, a top Nunes staffer and senior committee counsel. Patel previously attracted media attention by traveling to London late last summer—without the knowledge of the U.S. embassy or British government—along with committee staffer Doug Presley in search of Christopher Steele, author of a controversial dossier on Trump.

Сотрудничали ли они с Белым домом? Судя по истории предыдущих похождений Нунеса и его ухода от ответа на прямой вопрос, это предположение следует считать более, чем правдоподобным.

The transcript of the meeting, released the day after this story was initially published, shows Quigley asking “with the greatest respect” if the White House aided Nunes in any way, including consulting with him on the memo.
Nunes initially replied: “I would just answer, as far as I know, no.”
He continued, “And I would just also say that we are well aware the minority has not wanted to conduct this investigation by the public opposition to the subpoenas that we issued back in August that were clearly looking into matters of FISA [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] abuse and other matters.” Quigley asked Nunes if that meant “none of the staff members that worked for the majority had any consultation, communication at all with the White House?”Nunes shut Quigley down: “The chair is not going to entertain–” after which Quigley yielded.
