Representative Devin Nunes is blasting Democrats for using the media to cause another public spectacle against President Trump. During his opening statement at the Director of National Intelligence hearing on Capitol Hill Thursday, he mocked Democrats and said he wanted to congratulate them on the rollout of their “latest information war-fare operation.”Nunes also said the left has an “extraordinary ability to, once again, enlist the mainstream media in their campaign to hurt the president.” He proceeded to go through the facts, detailing why the whistleblower complaint provides no basis for impeachment:“The complaint relied on hearsay evidence provided by whistleblower. The inspector general did not know the contents of the phone call at issue. The inspector general found that the whistleblower displayed arguable political bias against Trump. The DOJ investigated the complaint and determined no action was warranted. The Ukrainian president denies being pressure by President Trump.”Ranking Member Rep.

President Trump said, “what Democrats are doing is a disgrace and should not be allowed.” He went on to reiterate that his phone call with the Ukrainian president was “perfect.”
