SUPPORT WTFA ON PATREON

Cat: I can't wait to see the Nunes memo. Can you? Fucking interesting times, man! Dog: Can't wait to see the conspiracy fanfic scribbled up by the motherfucker who recused himself from the Russia investigation but continued his personal parallel investigation into the investigators. Poster: Quis investagavit ipsos inquisitores? Cat: Paul Ryan says this memo is the "best disinfectant." Says we need to "CLEANSE" THE F.B.I.! Dog: Yeah, that's not worrisome rhetoric at all, when one of the least transparent, least accountable elected officials of all time calls for accountability and transparency. Poster: "I think we should disclose all this stuff. It's the best disinfectant. Accountability, transparency -- for the sake of the reputation of our institutions." -- Paul Ryan Cat: You're just upset that these Republican assholes have you rooting for the U.S. intelligence community. Dog: Things are really bad when you're hoping the narcs come out ahead. Poster: "The charges are entirely false and politically motivated" -- Nunes "but the committee was never able to see or review the classified information Nunes said he had" -- The Atlantic's Natasha Bertrand

NEW COMIC TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS AND WHEN THE MOOD STRIKES

Invoking a rule never before used in the history of the existence of the House Intelligence Committee—admittedly it hasn't been around that long—it's younger than I am—Republicans decided to approve the release of a completely pointless memorandum drafted by Rep. Devin Nunes for personal and partisan purposes. No one thinks this memo contains anything real or necessary or even very informative but granny-starver Paul Ryan is willing to lend it credence if it means he can call for a CLEANSING, which doesn't sound at all like something you'd hear from the other side of the Iron Curtain during the Cold War, nosiree.

You might recall that Nunes recused himself from the Russia investigation last year due to ethics probes; evidently Nunes didn't really mean to back off and has spent his days trying to make the FBI and CIA and everyone else look bad. That ethics investigation stalled, by the way, because they didn't have access to enough information to continue, which Nunes, of course, chalked up as "exoneration".

Remember: A leak is only bad in proportion to how bad it makes me look.
