Politico posted that Nunes was really behind the site, ************.com was taken down and now redirects to a Facebook page announcing that the site is offline due to “ heavy traffic” and an “attack” on their servers.

Resembling a local, conservative news site, “The California Republican” is classified on Facebook as a “media/news company” and claims to deliver “the best of US, California, and Central Valley news, sports, and analysis."
But the website is paid for by Nunes’ campaign committee, according to small print at the bottom of the site.
Paid for by the Devin Nunes Campaign Committee
Reached Saturday, Tavlian said his company registered several domains for Nunes’ campaign. But he said he did not manage “The California Republican” and was unfamiliar with it.
But Andrew Janz, Nunes’ main Democratic challenger in his reelection bid, did not hold back. Told of the website’s existence by POLITICO, he derided the publication as “typical Devin Nunes.”

Nunes certainly isn’t representing his Central Valley constituents or Californians, who care much more about health care, jobs and, yes, protecting Dreamers than about the latest conspiracy theory.
Instead, he’s doing dirty work for House Republican leaders trying to protect President Donald Trump in the Russia investigation.

Many of the posts link out to conservative sites like National Review and The Federalist, and the Facebook page for the site labels it a media/news company that is focused on "delivering the best of US, California, and Central Valley news, sports, and analysis."
Following the Politico report, the website was throwing up error messages, although an archive of it was available.

Nunes has three college degrees—all in agriculture. Which obviously makes him outstanding in the field of out standing in a field, but none of which suggests he’s in any way qualified to take over the role of handling intelligence intelligently. In fact, Nunes’ tactics do resemble those of a bull—blindly charging ahead, going all in on one lie after another—and creating a lot of bullshit in the process.
Devin Nunes held two news conferences to “break the news” of the fake scandal of unmasking. Then he went to the White House to conduct a fake “briefing” for the people he’d worked with create the fake scandal. Then Nunes announced three fake investigations into the Uranium One fake scandal based on shocking new testimony that has already proven to be a fake. Then Nunes drafted a fake memo to support fake allegations against the FBI and DOJ. And now he’s started a fake news site spreading fake stories.
All of which suggests two things: First, Devin Nunes took the stories of Russia’s actions before the 2016 election as a How-To guide. And second … you really, really should think twice before eating any of Devin Nunes’ dairy products.
