Late-Breaking Development

Last night, CNN broke the extraordinary story (link here), that Congressman Devin Nunes, the senior Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, which is currently investigating the Ukraining extortion scandal, was himself involved in the plot.

Per the linked report: "A lawyer for an indicted associate of Rudy Giuliani tells CNN that his client is willing to tell Congress about meetings the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee had in Vienna last year with a former Ukrainian prosecutor to discuss digging up dirt on Joe Biden.... That information would likely be of great interest to House Democrats given its overlap with the current impeachment inquiry into President Trump, and could put Nunes in a difficult spot."

When CNN asked Nunes in person to comment about the revelation, he replied "I don't talk to you in this lifetime or the next lifetime. At any time. On any question."

It will be interesting to see if Nunes is now compelled to recuse himself from the House investigation efforts. One of the investigators should not also be the subject of the investigation.
