It always amazes me that people like Nunes, who should know better about the Fake News, lap it up when that same discredited Fake News presents a narrative that they want to believe. Nunes, who lived in the Washington D.C. bubble and probably has friends still in it, is probably surrounded by people who love Ukraine, Zelensky, and every piece of "bad news' coming out of Russia. So let's analyze this 100 FSB aents purged and the head of the Fifth service being put in a soviet era prison.
On its face it's too ridiculous to be true. It conjures up images of Putin fuming, demanding for heads to roll, and putting an intelligence general in a prison that was used to torture people by the KGB. That should be a giant red flag for Nunes, it's too narratively perfect for Hollywood.
here's the reality. This 100 FSB agnts and intelligence general being put in prison is coming from a guy named Andrei Soldatov. Andrei Soldatov was the media's number one russian expect for all things Trump-Russia back in the day.
>Andrei Soldatov, an expert on Russia’s spy agencies and author of The Red Web, said the leaked material “reflects reality”.
>Putin decided to release stolen DNC emails following a security council meeting in April 2016, Soldatov said, citing his own sources.

>Mother Jones: Do you think WikiLeaks is actively coordinating with Russian interests?
>Andrei Soldatov: Yeah, after 2016 I think it’s pretty clear.

And it goes on and on with this Soldatov character. PBS, the Times, you name it, he's given them all "expert" information. Now Nunes is parroting Soldatov.
Wake up Devin, FAKE NEWS IS FAKE.
