Do these people have enough stupid in their bones that they gravitate towards one another?

Link #2 between Nunes acolytes and Trump's Ukrainian policy: Kashyap Patel

Colleagues grew alarmed after hearing that Mr. Trump had referred to Mr. Patel as one of his top Ukraine policy specialists and that the president wanted to discuss related documents with him, according to people briefed on the matter. Mr. Patel sought to discuss allegations of surveillance abuses by law enforcement officials with Mr. Trump, an administration official said. Mr. Patel, who is known as Kash, is now assigned to work on counterterrorism issues, not Ukraine.

...

Mr. Patel worked at the time as an investigator for the House Intelligence Committee under Representative Devin Nunes of California, who ran the panel when Republicans had control of the chamber. Mr. Patel’s efforts to discredit the Russia investigation made him a minor celebrity in conservative circles but a divisive figure on Capitol Hill.

As an intelligence committee aide, Mr. Patel helped investigate the theory that Ukrainians were responsible for spreading information about Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election. Mr. Trump has returned to the accusation of Ukrainian meddling repeatedly in public and private conversations.

There are a LOT of loose threads in this garbage. I hope they all get unraveled.

Oh boy! As I'm typing this, Swalwell has begun questioning Fiona Hill about Patel. And now he's onto Parnas. Swalwell is requesting the DailyBeast piece mk linked be filed into the official record. He's quoting the article, and saying "Hey maybe Nunes can be a fact witness too!", since he's worked directly with Parnas, a client/employer(?) of Giuliani and/or(?) Trump? Oh boy oh boy oh boy
