Opinion: Sorry, Trump fans, but here on Planet Earth, Devin Nunes is no hero
Then-House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes walks to the chamber at the Capitol in Washington on May 10, 2018. By Max Boot Max Boot Columnist covering national security Email Bio Follow Columnist April 1 at 2:14 PM “Devin Nunes was proven correct. That’s what the report says. We should praise him.
Rather than investigate Trump-Russia ties, Nunes used his perch at the House Intelligence Committee to promote crazy conspiracy theories designed to distract attention from the allegations against Trump. After Trump claimed that President Barack Obama had wiretapped him, Nunes announced in March 2017 that a “whistleblower” had told him that the Obama administration had unlawfully “unmasked” the names of Trump aides in surveillance transcripts.
In April 2018, Nunes and the other committee Republicans put out a report claiming there was “no evidence that the Trump campaign colluded, coordinated, or conspired with the Russian government.” Nunes may think he is now vindicated, but he’s wrong. All that Barr’s summary said was that Mueller could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump and his aides engaged in a criminal conspiracy with Russia. That’s very different from claiming there was “no evidence” of “collusion.
