"Good Morning!", another sun has risen over my coffee cup, the puppies have gone potty and breakfast has been cooked. I looked at Google News, this morning and saw a story about Devin Nunes. The story led with the question of "Why" Mr. Nunes raced to tell Trump his "secret information"?
Apparently Mr. Nunes wanted to be the first person to bring Trump the news. I would bet in retrospect, he wishes he had been the last. If Congress is looking to quell conspiratorial theories of corruption in high places within the government, they should be focusing a bright, hot spotlight on Mr. Nunes. There is no way that this over-grown, elementary school, teacher's pet should be allowed inside of a SCIF room, from this day forward!
During the "Watergate" criminal investigation of the Nixon era, there was an anonymous informant named, "DeepThroat". I believe California's U.S. Rep. Devin Nunes, can safely lay claim to a similarly disturbing, but appropriate description. Rep. Devin Nunes has certainly earned his new, but overwhelmingly uncoveted moniker. He will be forever referred to in jest, among Congressional historians and government spy circles, as "SORE THROAT!" He well-deserves his new congressional moniker, for enthusiastically without any duress or thoughtful hesitation, coughing up all the slimy secret intel he possessed, into the ear of President Trump. He has proven to everyone in America, that he CANNOT be trusted with sensitive, national security information. He has carelessly forsaken his sworn oath and responsibility, that he freely accepted the day he officially took office as a U. S. Representative of the American people!
I can imagine hearing Pres.Trump and Rep. Nunes discussing his revealed secrets and finally, Pres. Trump saying:
"Well done, my good and faithful servant, you were faithful in a few things; now, I will put you in charge of many things... enter into the joy of your Master."
It's a good thing I haven't eaten my breakfast yet.

The oath used today has not changed since 1966 and is prescribed in Title 5, Section 3331 of the United States Code. It reads: “I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
