Seth Meyers takes a closer look at “loopy” Devin Nunes, and the House Intelligence Committee’s investigation into the Trump administration’s alleged pretty obvious ties to Russia. The snag is that the investigator appears to be on the side of the investigated parties. By the way, this is not a hang-up of Devin Nunes, who sees no reason for alarmists, such as his own committee to sound the alarm.
Trump and Spicer just love attention, but scrutiny on this Russian thing is wearing thin. Spicer became aggressive in a press conference when the Russian question arose. It was fortunate that his podium didn’t move SNL- style. Spicer snarled at a reporter; “You have Russia! If the President put Russian salad dressing on his salad tonight, you’d say it was a Russian connection!” Spicer was clearly overwrought if he saw nothing suspicious in Trump ordering a salad.
Nunes performed some crazy and covert actions this week, which culminated in sharing information with Trump, rather than his own investigative committee. Trump believes the information, although it was debunked by the FBI director. Like ‘The Dude’ from ‘the Big Lebowski’ Trump raved incoherently about the information, but Seth notes that the two share even more in common: “The Dude’ and Trump Both had Afros, both are obsessed by their rugs, and both just looooove White Russians.” Obviously though, in reference to an earlier dispute, Trump doesn’t wear robes.
