Nunes: Deep State is “Much Worse than Even I Thought it Ever Was’
Congressman Devin Nunes (R-CA) warned Americans that the Deep State is worse than he could have ever imagined.
During a segment about FISA legislation renewal last night highlighted by the Washington Examiner, Fox News’ Sean Hannity asked Nunes, “We know there was premeditated fraud committed against the FISA court, they did it to take away Carter Page’s rights, spy on a campaign and transition team and president. Why don’t we go for the low-hanging fruit? Why is that taking so long?”
Nunes responded, “One thing that I tell the American people every time that I speak and I go out on the road and I talk to people is that, remember, the deep state here is much worse than even I thought it ever was.”
He continued, “People have to remember that this is one yard in a cloud of dust. You have to wake up every day to fight, because the socialist left, they work hard to take over the Democratic Party. They work hard to get Bernie Sanders in the lead. They’re not going away.”
The Examiner points out that Nunes is a key Trump ally who played an instrumental role in exposing government surveillance abuses against President Trump and his 2016 campaign.
The Congressman also discussed how it is critical that Republicans take back control of the House of Representatives in the 2020 election.
“…this is going to be very hard fought,” he said. “Even if Bernie Sanders is the nominee, they’ve got the media on their side, Sean. It’s not going to be easy. They’ve got Bloomberg and all his money.”
Nunes will address the threat of the Deep State tomorrow, appearing at CPAC alongside...

3 Big Takeaways From Trump’s Trip to India
It may look as if President Donald Trump’s trip to India boiled down to little more than media optics and Taj Mahal photo shoots. But there is much more significance to it than that.
Over 100,000 people packed a cricket stadium to hear Trump and India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, reprise the “Howdy, Modi” event in Houston, Texas, a few months ago.
Each leader highlighted the accomplishments of the other and discussed the strengthening bilateral relationship between our two countries.
Are there notable takeaways from this historic visit? Definitely.
For one, who could have predicted it would take a stadium big enough to hold 100,000-plus cricket fans to showcase two politicians? Of course, we also ought to acknowledge this is India, one of the most populous nations on Earth. A hundred thousand people in India is like five guys at a Starbucks in D.C.
And yet if the stadium could have taken 10 times that number, Modi and Trump probably still could have filled it. The people of India know something very special is going on here.
U.S.-India relations exhibit a bipartisan character in both countries. This is more than just two charismatic leaders and the offer of free hats pulling in a crowd.
The U.S. and India have a lot to offer each other. The easy get is security. Both want a stable and prosperous South Asia and a reasonable Pakistan. Both want to tackle the scourge of transnational Islamist terrorism and curb the worst destabilizing acts of Chinese expansion.
The U.S. and India have forged something new and unprecedented. We are not old-fashioned treaty allies, but we are way more than just friends.
This is a vital strategic partnership. We know that from the most distant Pacific island to the Middle East, we have each other’s back. This is a new geostrategic reality in the world.
To be fair, the two countries started moving in this direction before Modi and Trump made the scene. But they have sealed the deal.
Second, now comes the hard part—forging the economic bonds. This was a disappointment to both sides, which had hoped to seal at least a small-ball trade deal for the visit.
This is difficult for India, which traditionally has had an inward-looking economy with heavy government controls. Still, India knows it’s time to change.
India now has the world’s fifth-largest economy, and it’s time to harness that economic potential to drive real growth. Nothing will make that happen faster than partnering with the United States.
Deals are coming. They will be followed by more deals.
