#3 Perhaps Nunes should discretely ask someone on the Mueller team to request the documents. He'd probably have them later this afternoon.

#4 American Thinker: Just what is the FBI hiding in its refusal to fork over documents for Nunes committee?

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes is threatening another legal fight, this time over the Rosetta Stone of the Russia collusion investigation: The FBI document, (or EC, for Electronic Communication) showing exactly what triggered it.

According to the Daily Wire:

On Wednesday, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) sent a letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray that instructed them to produce unredacted copies of the documents that the FBI used as the basis to officially open up its Russia investigation.

It's significant because an FBI investigation of a presidential candidate that was begun right in the middle of a presidential campaign, apparently as an "insurance policy" as the texts of FBI lovebirds Peter Strzok and Lisa Page suggested, is rather unprecedented in a democratic system. If the pretext for the probe were anything but something serious about national security, it would be an FBI abuse of power. The FBI investigation also amounted to the building material that led to the appointment of the Special Counsel and that office's investigation of Russian collusion, something that has frequently thrown the Trump administration into turmoil, and has resulted in firings and indictments of Trump's closest aides.

#5 Slow-walking everything to protect deep-state guilty? What have Rosenstein and Mueller got to hide--they are boy scouts. Right?
