Wonder what Ryan had to say about his compatriot Devin?
Doesn't Ryan outing Nunes also implicate Ryan & on down the line of traitors?

They are all in the same box aren't they?.. so tread carefully Paul Ryan.

Hope they were informing Ryan to prepare for Nunes early retirement, by Monday.

Damn I hope its tomorrow!
If Nunes goes, the rest can't be far behind because that means Mueller has now entered the inner sanctum of Congress...

Sessions move today took the states out as a backup. Trump's goons are going to shut down the state investigations that were Mueller's fail safe. That puts Rothstein, Wray, and Mueller in the crosshairs and Trump will come gunning for them very soon.

This whole things has to be exposed now and hopefully spark a citizen uprising. If not, they get away with their crimes and we lose our democracy.

US Attorneys prosecute federal crimes in each one's geographic area. They have nothing to do with state prosecutions.

There's only one reason DT appointed Sessions.
He knew how to save their asses when push comes to shove.

27. UPDATE FROM CNN
Thu Jan 4, 2018, 01:09 AM
Jan 2018

Apparently, these meetings were about Nunes' request for documents and testimony relevant to "his" committee's investigation. Nunes said that he and the DOJ have come to an agreement, and he expects to have the material shortly.

What a giant disappointment.

Since when did Nunes ever say anything true? The meeting was with Ryan, not Nunes. Most likely, Ryan was told that Nunes is a target of investigation and can't have the documents.

Nunes and the DOJ HAD (not have) come to an agreement, but the DOJ went to tell Ryan that it's off b/c Nunes is in deep shit.
