The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee will not step down from the committee's investigation into Russia's interference in the United States presidential election, despite a growing chorus of Democratic lawmakers demanding he recuse himself.
"Of course not," Nunes' communications director, Jack Langer, said when asked if the congressman would step aside. "Theyre playing an absurd political game."
Nunes echoed that sentiment in an appearance on Fox News The OReilly Factor Monday night, saying in response to a question, Im sure the Democrats do want me to quit."
"Everything is politics here," Nunes also told a Voice of America journalist.

Nunes did something scurilous and underhanded and not in keeping with the integrity of chairman of an intelligence committee. Any committee findings will be suspect.
He needs to withdraw.

Or simply go through him. The people DEMAND AN OPEN HEARING, it is not HIS choice to make!!
If he won't go by the rules, the others on the committee should stand together and ignore him, and demand an open hearing on behalf of the people they serve!! Fuck him if he doesn't like it.

(149 posts)I mean, really? He will just be replaced by another republican who will do the same shenanigans.
Even calling for an independent investigation will be useless. An independent investigator will be chosen by Boente, who apparently is in cahoots with Trump. Obama removed Boente from the order of succession in the DOJ 7 days before he left office. Trump added Boente back when he took office. I take those actions to mean Boente can't be trusted.
It seems to me we're SOL.

(36,827 posts)While what you say is true, the ball people should be following is the GOP will perpetually obfuscate and obstruct their own crimes while simultaneously promoting fake news about email servers, responses to embassy attacks, voter fraud other nonsense that has no basis in the world most call reality. They will also spend tens of millions investigating a blowjob, while not bothering to perform even rudimentary review of collusion with an aggressive foreign power hostile to US interests in their subversion of US democracy.

(149 posts)It is important to keep pursuing it, even as the GOP continues to try to obstruct justice. Eventually there will be a public outcry if this keeps going on.
