House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) left a news conference with reporters Thursday on Capitol Hill. That's the short version of a defense offered Thursday by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), chair of the House Intelligence Committee, as reporters questioned him about looking into contacts between members of President Trump's administration and Russian officials. “Look, I'm sure some of you are in contact with the Russian Embassy,” Nunes told a group of journalists. ... Do you want us to conduct an investigation on you or other Americans because you were talking to the Russian Embassy? A journalist's contacting the Russian Embassy — presumably in the course of reporting on Flynn and Sessions — is not even remotely comparable to what Flynn and Sessions did.
