why can't Adam Schiff release them....or any other member?

I really believe Nunes is going down anyway. His behavior has been just too transparent. There must be some threat behind it.

before this, but it's imperative he do it now. No ifs, ands, or buts. He's covering up lying during testimony and is therefore a conspirator to the lies.

and the rule of Law. And my understanding is,the Committee Chair Person has certain powers and the Ranking Minority Chair Person does not have those Powers. Legal authority goes to the Ranking Majority Party Chair Person only.

attack by those trying to destroy them, the defenders MUST continue those standards and institutions as part of protecting them. Feinstein's release occurred in response to an extreme situation where our party obviously felt it was justified on balance.

And the truth was bore out after the November elections when the Bragging began about how they,the House was going to ram it up the Dems Rear end.

7. Andrew Janz is his opponent. We should throw some support his way
Sun Jul 15, 2018, 05:41 PM
Jul 2018

At the time of the 2018 election, Janz served as a deputy district attorney in Fresno County's violent crimes unit. He has not previously sought elected office.

In his April 2017 announcement that he would challenge nunes, Janz referred to his own ties to the region and his experience as a prosecutor as well as to nunes' role in the investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.[10] Janz's campaign website describes him as "the Democrat and Prosecutor Challenging Devin nunes" and emphasizes his positions on healthcare, crime, and immigration.[11]

Janz has been endorsed by the Democratic Party of California, seven sitting members of the U.S. House, and the California Labor Federation.

Heavily subsidized farming community. The 2012 consensus of agriculture lists the average per farm receiving payments at almost $20,000. That is what nunes is protecting and I am sure that it is his Achilles heel as well.

Is there a legal way to make him or the committee release these tapes? They are clearly trying to hide the truth while they go around and try to destroy other's careers for doing their jobs. Shouldn't he be under the same scrutiny?

Well, Dianne Feinstein bucked the dictates of the Senate Judiciary Committee's chair, Chuck Grassley, and released Fusion GPS interview transcripts. Grassley was pissed but nothing happened to her. She suffered no consequences for doing that.

So, okay then. There's the template. That means somebody oughta go around Devin and release whatever it is he's trying to hide. I'm looking at YOU, Adam Schiff! Nunes only has as much power as you cede to him. You should thumb your nose and do what YOU wanted to do anyway. Like leak the stuff he's trying to keep hidden.

They engaged Russian operatives to conduct cyber warfare against our country. There's no way to sugarcoat it.

But no one has any leverage to demand the same of this swine?

Is it because Mueller already has what he needs to bring down Stone...and Jr....AND Nunes?
