President Donald Trump heaped praise on House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes in a Monday morning tweet.
Representative Devin Nunes, a man of tremendous courage and grit, may someday be recognized as a Great American Hero for what he has exposed and what he has had to endure!

Nunes co-wrote a classified memo with fellow House Republicans which allegedly exposes broad abuse of FISA authority by top officials in the Department of Justice and the FBI.
Nunes has been heavily criticized for releasing the memo before House Democrats had a chance to assemble a memo pushing back against the Republican allegations. Democratic ranking member on the committee Adam Schiff has alleged that Nunes coordinated with the White House on the release, to which the chairman told Fox News “Mr. Schiff knows he is spreading a false narrative there. But that is not new for him. He has spread a false narrative the entire time.”
Schiff previously drew ire from the President early Monday who gave him with a nickname of his own.
Little Adam Schiff, who is desperate to run for higher office, is one of the biggest liars and leakers in Washington, right up there with Comey, Warner, Brennan and Clapper! Adam leaves closed committee hearings to illegally leak confidential information. Must be stopped!
