"If Sessions won't recuse himself, and if these allegations are true, then Sessions didn't tell the truth under oath in his confirmation hearing."
This quote by Devin Nunes implies that during Jeff Sessions' confirmation hearing to become the U.S. Attorney General, he may have given false statements if he did not recuse himself from certain investigations later and if allegations of undisclosed communications with Russian officials were true. In other words, Nunes suggests that Sessions potentially lied under oath about his interactions with Russia during his confirmation hearing, assuming the aforementioned allegations are accurate.
"The media can continue to try to distort this story, but I think what we're finding is more and more that there were individuals within the Obama Administration who were trying to set up a private citizen."
This quote suggests that Devin Nunes believes that during the Obama administration, certain individuals may have intentionally targeted a private citizen (likely Donald Trump) in an underhanded or manipulative manner. The distortion of this story refers to media interpretations of events that don't align with Nunes' perspective. Essentially, he is accusing some within the Obama Administration of attempting to create a complex web of intrigue around a private citizen for their own purposes.

This quote by Devin Nunes suggests that he has uncovered evidence indicating a possible collaboration or coordination between members of the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign and the U.S. Intelligence Community. If true, such an alleged cooperation could be significant, as it implies that political strategies or tactics may have been influenced or guided by intelligence activities, potentially blurring the line between politics and espionage. However, it is important to note that without further context or evidence, the veracity of this claim remains unproven.
"There are people within the Obama Administration who view their jobs as protecting Barack Obama, and they will do anything to undermine this administration and the president."
This quote suggests that Rep. Devin Nunes believes there were individuals within the Obama Administration who prioritized protecting former President Barack Obama over fulfilling their official duties. He implies these people may have taken actions detrimental to the Obama Administration or President Obama in order to achieve this goal, presumably due to disagreements or political biases. It's a statement often associated with broader allegations of unlawful activities during the Trump-Russia investigation.
While it may be difficult to understand why cities and even entire states would doom themselves to insolvency by undertaking these obligations, the answer is simple: Democratic politicians, who have near-total political control of California and of America's biggest cities, support this massive transfer of wealth to public employees.
