Has anyone seen Nunes rush to the mic or to the White House after he attended the FBI briefing??
@devinNunes did not race to the @WhiteHouse to snitch to @realdonaldTrump either.

I rarely offer predictions, but you can bet your rubles we likely won’t see Chairman Nunes walk out of DOJ to a bank of microphones, apologize and praise the FBI for its hard work in attempting to stop a hostile foreign government from undermining our democracy.
@joshscampbell
We don’t know what happened inside today’s DOJ meeting, but I think we can rule out any big revelation that the FBI acted inappropriately. And the reason we know this is because Chairman Nunes didn’t trip over his colleagues racing to the cameras to tell us about it.

From another article,
...As important as it is, the CRA doesn’t command media attention, much less public acclaim. It was enacted in 1996 when Newt Gingrich was House speaker. And until January 2017, when Republicans achieved a Washington trifecta—control of the White House, Senate, and House—it had been invoked successfully only once. That was in 2001 when it ended the life of the Labor Department’s oppressive ergonomics policy.
But the CRA hasn’t been forgotten. Republicans tried five times to eliminate Obama regulations, including the Environmental Protection Agency’s “Waters of the United States” policy extending federal regulation of wetlands to vast new chunks of America. President Obama vetoed all five.
As the 2016 election approached, Republicans had no plans for reviving the CRA. They were expecting Hillary Clinton to win. That would have entrenched the massive regulatory machinery imposed by Obama. The swamp would be bigger than ever.
The day after Trump won, House and Senate Republicans, mainly aides of Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell and House speaker Paul Ryan, began conspiring with Trump aides. The CRA was now on the agenda, right near the top. And there were plenty of regulations to target.
How does it work? The CRA allows Congress to look back at regulations adopted in the dying days of a president’s tenure and, if it so chooses, vote them down. In effect, this requires one party to be in control. And they better be Republicans. Democrats adore regulation. ...
