Nunes's new job is more of a horizontal move than a meaningful change in careers
California Republican Devin Nunes is resigning from Congress at the end of the month to serve as CEO of the Trump Media & Technology Group, where he will disseminate propaganda on behalf of the twice-impeached former president. But since this is primarily how Nunes conceived of his role in Congress, the new job amounts to more of a horizontal move than a meaningful change in careers.
Nunes energetically echoed Trump’s claims that the entire Russia scandal — much of which had unfolded in plain sight, with Trump hiring as campaign manager a man who had managed a Kremlin puppet candidacy in Ukraine, asking Russia to hack Hillary’s emails, repeating Putin’s lies about the hacks, and so on — as a Deep State conspiracy to frame an innocent man.
Nunes not only disseminated Trump’s lies but seemed inspired to emulate his hero’s methods — in particular, Trump’s passion for abusing the legal system as a tool to bully his critics. Nunes filed a flurry of lawsuits: against newspapers, magazines, Twitter, even a parody account pretending to be his cow. The point of his frequently ludicrous filings was not to win, but to make journalists afraid of the time and expense that they would bear for reporting on, or poking fun at, Nunes.
So Nunes walked away from a license to print money to work for a career crook who is known for screwing over his partners and blaming them for his crimes. The new Trump venture is already facing a potential SEC investigation.
