from overseas: report

On Thursday, Politico reported that Democratic lawmakers became aware that Andrii Derkach, a Ukrainian lawmaker with pro-Kremlin sympathies, was trying to ship dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden to Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), because of a DHL shipping label.
During a closed-door business meeting of the panel on Wednesday a transcript of which was made publicly available Thursday Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.) pressed Nunes about news reports indicating that he was one of several GOP lawmakers who was delivered packets of information from Derkach containing allegations about Biden in December 2019, reported Kyle Cheney. Derkach has confirmed that he sent the packages to Nunes, as well as Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).
That evidence, according to committee officials, is in the form of a DHL shipping receipt that was sent to the Intelligence Committees majority office shortly after the package was sent to Nunes, continued the report. The officials say they sought to access the materials from Nunes at the time but that he never agreed to share them.
Nunes has declined to tell reporters whether he ever actually received the package, or what, if anything, he did with it.

(32,626 posts)a basic transaction of information without getting found out, is criminal. I vaguely remember something about Nunez and classified information, and the White House lawn. God..so long ago, I can't remember what crime was involved.

The ranking Democrat on the committee called on Nunes to recuse himself from the Russia investigation.
"But in much the same way that the Attorney General was forced to recuse himself from the Russia investigation after failing to inform the Senate of his meetings with Russian officials, I believe the public cannot have the necessary confidence that matters involving the President's campaign or transition team can be objectively investigated or overseen by the Chairman," Rep. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, said in a statement.
A former government intelligence official told CNN on Monday that members of Congress, like the general public, must be cleared and escorted into facilities on White House grounds.
"Every non-White House staffer must be cleared in by a current White House staffer," the official said. "So it's just not possible that the White House was unaware or uninvolved."
Trump's press secretary, Sean Spicer, directed all questions Monday about Nunes' source to the chairman.

(21,616 posts)if "dirt" is going to be passed around between foreign actors seeking to undermine our country and their lackeys in Congress, are they really sending it via DHL? And not some kind of hand delivery or electronic delivery? or do i just watch too many spy movies?

(2,343 posts)I don't understand what "dirt" these people keep digging up. Did Clinton do bad shit? Has Biden done some bad shit? I seriously doubt it in both instances. So is this "dirt" fabricated? Can the fuckers who keep digging up "dirt" be arrested, sued, etc?
