is this really possible?
"Then came perhaps the weirdest moment of all. Asked whether the committee would investigate the Trump associates mentioned by Democrats during the hearing, Nunes went on about all the "names" the Democrats had mentioned. He remarked that the committee couldn't base its investigations on media reports. He said he didn't bother to read all the stories out there and didn't even recognize the "names" the Democrats had tossed out.
"Really?" I asked, noting the Democrats had referred to only about five Trump associates. Oh, Nunes, said, there was much more than that. And, he reiterated that he was unfamiliar with the people who had been brought up. What about Carter Page or Roger Stone? I asked, referring to two Trump associates raised by the Democrats. (Trump identified Page during the election as a foreign policy adviser, and Page met with Russians during the campaign. Stone, a longtime Trump adviser and self-proclaimed dirty trickster, was in contact with Guccifer 2.0 and WikiLeaks, entities that released emails stolen by the Russians from the Democratic Party and John Podesta, the Clinton campaign's chairman.)
Nunes told me he didn't know who they were. Huh? Page and Stone—key players in the Trump-Russia scandal who appeared in many media accounts—you don't know who they are? No, he said. Other reporters shook their heads in disbelief. Nunes was either lying or displaying reckless ignorance."
