[Washington Examiner] House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes warned there will be "hell to pay" on Wednesday morning if the Justice Department doesn't start turning over documents.
During an interview on "Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo," the California Republican said the documents he has demanded for months, pertaining to alleged Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuses and the Russia investigation, need to start coming in Monday.
"If documents do not begin to be turned over tomorrow, and a clear way and path for everything else is not clear here in the next couple of days, there's going to be hell to pay by Wednesday morning," he emphasized.
Nunes didn't explain what exactly would happen Wednesday, but his colleague, House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, said in a separate Fox News interview Sunday that House Speaker Paul Ryan "made it very clear" the House will use "its full arsenal of constitutional weapons to gain compliance" on outstanding subpoenas.
Nunes said "our staffs" will meet Monday in what would be the next step forward, following a second classified briefing last week for the "Gang of Eight" congressional leaders, but noted he has a "low" level of confidence that the DOJ and the FBI would be cooperative.
Last week, a letter sent to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein that was signed by all 13 GOP members of the intelligence panel said that anything short of the DOJ permitting all members of the committee and "designated staff," which goes well beyond just the Gang of Eight, falls short of the request and therefore is "an obstruction of the Committee's efforts to investigate the Russia matter, including an alleged confidential FBI informant sniffing out suspicious ties to the Russians who spoke with members of President Trump's 2016 campaign.

It is now quite obvious what was taking place and at least a portion of the why. The only unknowns at this point are the parties behind it and a more detailed explanation of the why.
#2
Methinks the apparatiks in DOJ are trying to protect someone and that someone is NOT that loathesome, mean spirited sociopath that ran for President. Could it be the "One?"
#3
Wonder if its anymore of a process hassle to pass impeachment of officials or just strip DoJ of any Civil Service protection of GS-10 and above? If you are going to live politically you should be prepared to die politically.
[BREITBART] The Department of Health and Human Services hosted Breitbart News and other media on a tour of a facility in El Cajon, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, on Friday where migrant children are being sheltered after being separated from their parents.
The children are separated from their parents ‐ or, to be precise, from the adults accompanying them, who may or may not be their parents ‐ when their parents cross the southern U.S. border illegally and are caught and detained.
Previously, under the "catch-and-release" policy, the adults would be released. Under the "zero tolerance" policy of the Trump administration, the adults are being detained and prosecuted. Children cannot be incarcerated with them.

So, what is the alternative? Do the children accompany their 'alleged' parents to Federal prison? Are the parents actually the parents or are they props? DNA testing anyone ?

If they were in Mexico would they be separated?
If someone (immigrant, illegal immigrant, citizen) is convicted of a crime, should he not be put in prison because it would "separate the family"?

I saw a story this a.m. regarding a man in the military stationed in Afghanistan. He hadn't been able to celebrate the last three birthdays of his two boys.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
