I wish they hurry up and get Donald out of office, but I really doubt it will change much as far as what gets done or not done. I guess the big plus is not having a complete lunatic with access to the button.
Once again, Nunes and Howdy Doody Gowdy are trying to scuttle the investigation. These traitors will do anything to protect Comrade Cockholster and Clan.
Makes one wonder why they seem to have such an unusual personal investment in all of this. Their interest seems to be well beyond their usual partisan politics.
This is Nunes trying to ratfuck the investigation. Plain and simple.
Of course Nunes was supposed to recuse himself from this investigation, and during that he is going to subpoena the attorney general, who has also recused himself from the investigation?
Sounds like a big Republican circle-jerk in order to muddy the waters. This tells me that Republicans know this is all going to go bad sooner or later.
If the documents are not produced, the committee is seeking to compel Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Christopher Wray to testify in an open hearing. The panel issued two additional subpoenas to Sessions and Wray late Tuesday to underscore its seriousness on the matter.
Haven’t Dump admin people blown off subpoenas in the past? And I’m perfectly certain that Komrade Keebler and Director Wray will keep saying, “We can’t answer those questions because they’re tied to an ongoing investigation.”
All posturing on Nunes’s (Recuse-California) part.
Taking a step back, this may well have provoked the WH memo telling Dreamers to prepare for deportation (which basically contradicted Donnie’s “revisit” comment).
Donnie’s only card is “deflection”, which he plays over and over and over again. Won’t stop Mueller, but it’ll shift the dialogue.
I’ve an idea! Let’s subpoena the world! Let’s subpoena everyone who’s ever read about or heard about the dossier.
Nunes has revealed himself to be a pathetic, impotent, scurrying little rat trying to spoil everything before he gets discovered. His weird actions, earlier and now, imply some pretty serious involvement in the Russian collusion.
What happens if DOJ and FBI just ignore him? Does he keep squeaking or go run off and hide in a safe corner? So strange.
Makes you wonder if Nunes, given his clear ties to Trump’s dark forces, wants those documents, including Steele’s list of the sources for the dossier so he can immediately get them to Russian Intelligence to help them ferret out the leaks that produced the dossier.
Somebody needs to be investigating Nunes. His motives are really questionable.
I would think Nunes and Gay Howdy should be held accountable for attempting to obstruct justice.
Mendacity prevails as the GOP’s version of the Keystone Cops- Devin Nunes, and Trey Gowdy try to provide cover for Trump and his possible collusion with Russia. If this was a tv comedy, this might be a passable episode as our two misfit legislators struggle to cover up POTUS’s connection with the Russians. Unfortunately, these two cartoon figures are real-life elected officials doing Putin’s bidding.
Mueller should investigate Nunes/Gowdy for obstruction of justice. Both need to be held responsible for their political opportunism.
So I guess the “plan” going forward, if they obtain the documents, is to do everything they can to discredit them before anyone else is able to come forward with all of the info that has been verified.There are too many investigations working at cross purposes right now, which in my mind works to Trump’s advantage.
It only shifts the dialogue for a few minutes though. But the conversation always comes back to Russia and Mueller.
To my mind, there’s only one investigation that matters- Muellers. No matter what the House and Senate are doing, Bob Mueller doesn’t give a shit. He’s doing his job, and that’s all that matters.
If there isnt any credibility to the dossier they sure are going to a lot of trouble to discredit it…
We should call this the Fox in the Chicken Coop administration.
So much for recusal.
Vidkun Nunes is nothing but a stooge, and not a very good one. If they’re reactivating him now, it’s a sign of desperation.
I agree that he does this deflection thing to the point of self-parody but in this case the timing was established by threat of lawsuit. People representing his base gave him until end of Tuesday before they filed to get DACA.
In this case, it was Trump’s cowardice over that specific threat rather than his general cowardice in facing reality that brought about his action.
I think the only thing they can do is recommend that the DOJ file charges… They really are toothless so why bother except to try and ratfuck the investigation where it does have teeth, Mueller.
They’re frightened and they’re flailing. Good to see the fear and desperation.
