As you may know, Davin Nunes (who represents my father's birthplace in the Big Valley) is a close ally of Speaker Paul Ryan and chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. He's in charge of investigating links between Russia and the Trump transition team. I'd like to explain why Nunes is the perfect person for the job.
1. Nunes holds a degree in agriculture from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. He knows how to grow red beets for borsch as well as any Russian. And he can speak Portuguese.
2. Nunes famously said that "global warming is nonsense," proving his adherence to Republican science and to the needs of economies, like that of Russia, dependent on selling oil at more than $60 a barrel. This is a farmer who fearlessly names names. In his book he called environmentalists "followers of neo-Marxist, socialist, Maoist or Communist ideals." He did not intend this as faint praise.
3. Nunes was a member of the Trump transition team and leads the committee investigating it.. No one knows more about the Trump team than Nunes. On the house committee, he currently serves as witness, judge and recorder. Just ask yourself, who is more thoroughly prepared to investigate Nunes than the man himself?
