Rod Rosenstein and Christopher Wray had a meeting with Paul Ryan this afternoon in Ryan's office.

We have heard lots of prognostications about big stuff about to hit the fan. This sounds like it's going in that direction.
This madness must stop.

Both parties would have impeached him.

(122,851 posts)from the House Intelligence Committee; Nunes is almost certainly up to his eyeballs in Russian dirt and he's been doing his best to kneecap the committee and vilify the FBI. I can't think of any other reason why Wray and Rosenstein together would want a meeting with Ryan.

(12,344 posts)If they indict, then no warning. If they don't, then silence. If they just want to get rid of Nunes, then it violated rules about non-partisanship. If they want to violate those rules anyway, then they do it through a back channel and we'll never know, unless Ryan betrays them. Which he might, so they probably won't.
This can only be about Trump himself, and something big will be happening soon.
On edit: I see a tweet from Maddow that says I'm wrong. We'll see.

We'll have to wait and see if that's true; and if so, what, exactly, is going on with Nunes.

(15,837 posts)for the documents that Nunes subpoenaed about the dossier for his own magical hinky secret mysto-mysto committee. Sensitive stuff and Wray and Rosenstein may want to withhold the information from Nunes - especially if they have found some skeletons in ol' Devin's closet.

(5,572 posts)The ex-State Dept official that McCain sent to England to discuss dossier with Christopher Steele before turning over dossier to Comey, reportedly refused to provide Nunes with names of Russian sources, so Nunes has subpoenaed him to reappear before the committee to provide the names. Very sensitive stuff important to counterintelligence that Nunes has no business knowing as it would endanger those sources, if they have not already been killed or imprisoned.
