On tonight’s show, FOX News pundit Bill O’Reilly addressed the controversy surrounding House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes’ (R-CA) secret White House intelligence sources in a shameless attempt to whitewash Nunes’ obvious efforts to distract public attention away from the three probes into the Trump-Russia scandal.
He got more than he bargained for, however, when his guest shot down O’Reilly’s efforts to sweep the matter under the rug in a way that even FOX’s gullible viewers can’t miss.
O’Reilly explains how Nunes alleged that he was told there was evidence showing that Trump and his campaign members were recorded on intelligence wiretaps by two White House officials, snuck over to the White House to view the evidence and then shared it with Trump.
He then asks his guest if there’s any “scandal that I’m not seeing here,” in a bored and dismissive voice that clearly indicates he doesn’t think so.
To his surprise, FOX News Strategic Analyst Lt. Col Ralph Peters (ret.) said yes, actually, there is a “sortof” scandal here. “It was clearly another attempt to divert attention from the main issue – which is a question of whether Vladimir Putin was able to penetrate the Trump campaign and potentially the administration!”

Backtracking, O’Reilly then tries to reassure his audience that Nunes’ claims are legitimate and there is something serious to be concerned about since Trump and his team were caught on surveillance – but Peters won’t let him sweep this under the rug.

Even FOX News’ own analyst has to admit that Rep. Devin Nunes has entirely abandoned his duty to provide oversight of the executive branch and is nothing but a lapdog for Trump and his cronies. This ridiculous “surveillance” charade began as a Breitbart conspiracy and has metastasized into a full-blown fake scandal designed to distract the public from the fact that Nunes is sabotaging his own investigation on Trump’s behalf.
