Devin Nunes is an embarrassing waste of space and a dick

Nunes, in his closing statement of tonight's impeachment hearings, compared the process to the Inquisition!

Yes, he did.

In a scornful closing statement, Nunes compared the inquiry to a game of “three card monte” and the hearings to an “inquisition” — although he noted that he felt victims of inquisitions had “more rights” than the witnesses testifying at the hearings. He then took aim at what he said were the tactics of some House Democrats, suggesting they must have learned them in law schools that taught, “If the facts and the law are against you, simply rig the game and hope your audience is too stupid to catch your duplicity.”

Project much?

When I come up with video, I'll post it. It was quite a show. Theater of the absurd.

Schiff, smiling, replied, “I thank the gentleman, as always, for his remarks,” prompting laughter from the audience.

In his own closing remarks, Schiff delivered an almost professorial lecture on what he said was the difference between “corruption and anti-corruption,” explaining that Republicans have mixed up their definitions of each when it comes to how they’ve assessed Trump’s calls for Ukraine to launch investigations into the Bidens and a “conspiracy theory” into the 2016 election.

In all the hearings to date, the hearing room audience has broken out into applause for Marie Yovanovitch, Lt. Col. Vindman, and Adam Schiff. They've laughed - rightfully - at the Republicans.

But I guess the Republicans are only concerned with an audience of one, so they'll keep on.

Nunes also has filed two lawsuits against people who have been running parody Twitter accounts that insult him.  Every state should have strong anti-SLAPP laws to prevent this kind of abuse.  People in high places - that is people with oodles of money - can ruin others who dare to poke fun of them without those laws.  The man is a disgusting prick.

Does anybody remember how he ran the Intel Committee hearings on whether Russia interfered with the election?  I do.  The Democrats were not permitted to call witnesses who might provide important counter testimony to those Nunes and his henchmen called.  Turned tables hurt.

He was wearing his mobster suit today.  Fits him.

UPDATE: Here you go...

Schiff was almost laughing at that point.  The audience did.
