4 | Devin Nunes' “Collusion"
Manage episode 430416948 series 3574160
On March 22, 2017, Devin Nunes went to the White House to announce his “concerns” about intelligence gathering on the Trump transition team. This began a multi-year scandal that saw House Republicans picking up Paul Manafort’s plan to discredit the Russian investigation.
In this Ball of Thread, Marcy Wheeler explains how the dueling reports produced by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence helped polarize the nation. She also reveals how Democrats' reliance on the dossier helped play into Manafort’s trap. Plus, Marcy explains how Vladimir Putin probably helped spark the Russia investigation.
Finally, she deconstructs the “collusion” canard. To this day, the purposely distracting focus on this non-crime was used to cloud undeniable evidence of a conspiracy involving Trump’s associates and Russia.
