Mueller ends, Nunes begins. A major shift has begun. Representative Devin Nunes has shifted from first gear into drive, even overdrive.
With the twin threats of collusion and obstruction gone, Trump too is taking the offensive. His language now mentions treason, FISA applications and a Schiff resignation.
Watergate looks like small potatoes compared to the plot to thwart Trump’s election and, after his election, to dismantle his presidency. The Nunes’ investigations promise to reach deeply into the bowels of the plot.
Major publicity over all of this is occurring at this moment. The terms of the battle have shifted radically. The spotlight no longer shines on Trump, but on the plotters.
These investigations have a profound importance for American well-being. The form of government and the rule of law are both at stake. If elections can be thwarted or the results overturned by means of people within a sitting government or its bureaus, this changes our form of government and at the same time destroys the rule of law. It seriously contravenes justice and our social-political order. This is why the coming investigations led by Devin Nunes are historic.
