On Wednesday, Fox News host Sheppard Smith called Chairman Nunes to the carpet for once again providing another "act of mass distraction" for the Trump administration over his 'secret memo' after the FBI that may never ever be seen by the public.
Have we ever seen anything remotely resembling a Devin Nunes in Congress in the modern era?
After the FBI came out against the release of Nunes' "dirty memo," listening to Trump's 100% guarantee and John Kelly's support to release it, neither has Shep Smith.
After reading a statement from the FBI, Smith said, "Devin Nunes created the memo, he recused himself from the Russia investigation."
"Nunes is an obviously a loyal supporter of the president and served on his transition team," he said.
Later he brought on the AP's Eric Tucker to elaborate.
Smith said, "As we reported from the beginning, this is from Devin Nunes, whose last big act of mass distraction was eventually seen as exactly that on the midnight run on the building behind the White House, when he was supposedly taking information to them and instead took it from them and came out and had a news conference and it’s been widely discredited since then"
“He had recused himself from this investigation. Here he is again and he’s effectively changed the subject. If that was the goal to distract, they’ve been highly successful thus far,” he said.
Tucker commented that Nunes' actions would not be sufficiently be debunked by the Justice Department because they never reveal who they investigate.
Shepard Smith, a lone wolf in a forest of propaganda.
