Mark Warner on Nunes: If This Was a Movie, You’d Turn It Off Because It’s So Unbelievable

‘We don’t know what Mr. Nunes is talking about’

EXCERPT:

WARNER: "Well Andrea, you can’t make this stuff up. I mean, If this was a movie, you'd turn it off because you wouldn’t believe it’s believable. And I -- and I know both Chairman Burr on -- in the Senate side and Democrats, Republicans, we don’t know what Mr. Nunes is talking about, what kind of information. We’ve queried the Intel Community, I don’t think they know what he’s talking about. And it seems more than suspicious that he’s somehow going to the White House and anybody who knows anywhere in the White House complex whether the Eisenhower building or the White House itself, you have to be escorted. Who is he meeting with? Was it a source or was it somebody from the administration? And then he goes through this what appears to be a charade where he comes out the next day and briefs the president before he tells the Democrats. And I’m not even sure he’s told the other House Republicans what this, quote unquote, 'information' was. So it raises a lot of questions. I know Adam Schiff, the leading Democrat on the House Intel Committee wants to the continue a bipartisan investigation. I wish him all the luck. That’s not how we’re going to proceed in the Senate though."
