Ryan Lizza on Nunes's intentions & what a top WH official told him about Nunes

Nunes essentially blew up the investigation because he realized the scope of what he negotiated with Schiff could actually threaten Trump.

I know that Nunes's Monday testimony was coordinated with WH because top WH official told me, "Watch the predicate that is set" by Nunes.

I thought that was interesting. So Nunes blew up the committee's investigation on purpose, not out of stupidity.

Btw, the unnamed top WH official Lizza refers to is most likely Bannon, judging simply by the vocabulary, the use of the word "predicate." Can't imagine many if any of the others around Trump talking like that, but Bannon does. Link to a Hollywood Reporter interview where Bannon says that " If The New York Times didn't exist, CNN and MSNBC would be a test pattern. The Huffington Post and everything else is predicated on The New York Times."

1. "Watch the predicate that is set"?

Can't any of these fools speak English?? Or have they been too busy learning Russian to remember basic grammar and usage rules?

3. Said this many a time.

Nunes Spiked the Committees Hearings because he knows damn well,he is going to be rolled up in a major Scandal.

4. Nunes either got marching orders from Ryan or they came up with it together:
