Nunes screwing up again?

[Fanatical Meat]

I didn't see much but it appears Nunes met with some dude at the White House the cancelled the last meeting it was on the fake news CNN variety.
Anyone know more about this?

 

[alien42]

so now we know for a fact that Nunes went to the White House to get the leaks about incidental collection that he then reported to the WH the next day.

 

[allisolm]

In a phone interview, Nunes confirmed to CNN that he was on the White House grounds that day -- but he said he was not in the White House itself.

No one in the White House was aware that he was there, Nunes said.

And he said he was there for additional meetings "to confirm what I already knew" but said he wouldn't comment further so as to not "compromise sources and methods."

Hmm... sounds a lot like what alien42 said.

And all in the middle of this Boris Epshteyn slithers away. One more swamp monster gets flushed.

I'm reading that he was one of the suspects tagged for the FISA warrant last year. ***NOT SUSPICIOUS AT ALL***

Spoiler: The New York Times said

Boris Epshteyn, an official in the White House press office who had a contentious relationship with television producers and was once a frequent presence on TV himself, is leaving his job, according to three people with knowledge of the move.

The departure was treated with some mystery. Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, would not comment on the reason Mr. Epshteyn, an old friend of President Trump’s son Eric, was expected to depart the post.

A senior administration official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said only that officials were exploring other opportunities in the administration for Mr. Epshteyn, who at one point was on cable news as many as seven times a day promoting Mr. Trump during the presidential campaign.

Another person briefed on the discussions said that Mr. Epshteyn’s move was still pending, and that both he and the administration sought it. The person maintained that it was not an acrimonious situation.

But two people familiar with Mr. Epshteyn’s tenure said he had become combative with the networks on which he was assigned to book surrogates defending the administration, a junior position for someone who has other news media experience, which he does.

A recent report by Politico detailed a blowup that Mr. Epshteyn had with Fox News, the cable network that most consistently defends the president’s agenda.

Mr. Epshteyn, known for his argumentative, badgering style on TV, was a spokesman for the presidential inaugural committee. He grew up in Moscow, and met Eric Trump at Georgetown University.

Some believe Epshteyn was source E for the Steele dossier. At the very least, he's one of two likely candidates.

That was pretty obvious where this new info came from. Not looking good for any kind of independence by this committee from the White House.

A awful chairman for a terrible President. Nice.

Two White House officials helped give Nunes intelligence reports: New York Times

"Citing unnamed U.S. officials, the Times identified the White House officials as "Ezra Cohen-Watnick, the senior director for intelligence at the National Security Council, and Michael Ellis, a lawyer who works on national security issues at the White House Counsel’s Office."
