The only question is whether Nunes messengered the classified documents over to the White House or delivered them himself.
“Has given House Republicans”??? I don’t get that. Why just the Republicans? Do they hold special positions on these committees? Won’t Schiff, Cummings, and Nadler, as ranking members, get to see the documents? Asking for America.
Is the DOJ aiding and abetting the partisan GOP committees to sabotage open investigations??
Yeah I agree with you about that.
Since the House Intel committee already wrapped up their investigation and exonerated Trump, then on what basis do they need these new classified documents??? Only to comb them for a word here or there that they claim is prejudicial to Trump.
Will the Democrats on the committee get to see them?
I bet it’s difficult for them to deal with a request for documents on possible surveillance of the Clinton Foundation. Without opening certain agents up to criminal charges, that is.
What was not mentioned was giving Devin Nunes anything is the same as giving it to Fox News or Donald Trump. It will be shouted from the rooftops within split seconds.
I also wondered why it just went to Republicans.
Aiding AND Abetting, Yes, to both.
The efforts by the Justice Department over the last week to deliver documents to the House Republicans appear to have at least temporarily diffused a monthslong standoff with Congress.
Today’s copy-editing nit to pick: While there are things about the present crisis that are diffused, like the last remaining wisps of Vidkun Nunes’s soul, this should probably read defused.
Diffused is what you get when you don’t do the defused part correctly.
If Nunes has them, then we know they are no longer “classified.” They are now in the Rethuglican public domain.
Suddenly the House Intelligence Committee is willing to use subpoena power.
- Investigating whether Trump was working with the Russians was not important enough to inconvenience anyone with a subpoena.
- Confirming that law enforcement had legitimate cause to pursue the same investigation is important enough.
“We didn’t see much when we glanced in there, and you better damn well prove to us that you have a right to look for yourself!”
Probably relayed through the Kremlin first. In case they wanted to redact anything themselves.
He is a Russian just like POTUS.
This news just drives me nutzo. How does a co-equal branch get to make demands of another branch during an active investigation???
Rod the Rocket better be fucking with these guys and just not caving.
For grins - leaving this democracy grenade for y’all:
Go Avenattti Go!!
So Ryan wants to continue to obstruct justice.
He is a traitor.
Boom!
New for the 21st Century: Your “millennial Republican Red Wave” is comin’ on strong and makin’ stuff great.
Hey when they show up leaked in Moscow, we don’t want Nunes to have plausible deniability.
Also, I hope they drop some false flags - maybe a story about Deripaska working as a CIA mole controlled by Manafort. Just a thought…
