https://politicalwire.com/2018/05/07/nunes-threatens-to-hold-sessions-in-contempt/
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) warned that he plans to urge lawmakers this week to hold Attorney General Jeff Sessions in contempt of Congress for failing to hand over classified materials related to the Russia investigation, CNN reports.
But the Justice Department informed Nunes three days ago on the deadline for responding to a subpoena from Nunes committee that providing the information on a specific individual could pose grave implications for national security.
It was not immediately clear why Nunes has targeted Sessions.
Trump's mini mini me Nunes was telling everybody who would listen last week that this week they were going to impeach Rosenstein.
Now they are bloviating about finding Session in contempt about handing over classified materials on an investigation that he is recused on and doesn't even have access to.
CNN is not clear on why they changed.
I can't help but wonder if somebody watched Maddow's inspiring segment on Rosenstein and the clip where he recognizes a random quote and could give the date and backstory on the quote from memory. If so it may have deterred these idiots from trying to take on someone who actually uses the brain that they were born with.

Maybe its the Russians. Maybe its someone else. Regardless, he is going out of his way to protect and defend 45, more so than any other elected official. There is certainly a reason why and I bet Nunes does not want that reason to become public info.

Nunes was supposed to recuse himself.
It is a shame there isn't the legal equivalent to being held in contempt for failure to uphold a recusal.
It would be sweet if Sessions would tell him to go to hell since they are both recused from any such involvement.

Wasn't Nunes part of Trump's Campaign?
