Chairman Nunes Preparing to Hold Rosenstein and Wray in Contempt of Congress
2018-04-11
[Gateway] Chairman of the House Intel Committee Devin Nunes (R-CA) privately told several colleagues Tuesday it’s time for the House GOP to hold Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress if they refuse to hand over requested documents.

Washington Post national political reporter, Robert Costa tweeted: House Intel Chair Devin Nunes privately told several colleagues today that it’s time for House GOP to hold Rosenstein and Wray in contempt of Congress, should they refuse to hand over requested docs, according to two people familiar with the discussions...

The Justice Department missed the initial April 5th deadline to give the House Judiciary Committee over 1.2 million documents related to Hillary’s email investigation and FISA abuses.

House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) sent a subpoena to the Justice Department on March 22nd requesting documents related to Hillary Clinton’s private server and email investigation.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein was to appear before the House Judiciary Committee April 5th.

Bob Goodlatte requested these documents several months ago and only received a fraction of the documents.

President Trump blasted the DOJ for slow walking the unredacted documents related to Obama’s FISA abuse and wanted to know ’what do they have to hide?’

Why is the GOP acting in such a civil manner in the face of Deep State thuggery?

Why not have US Marshals raid the FBI and DOJ for the 1.2 million documents they are fiercely working to hide?

#8  #6 What's it going to take to clean up this mess

T.W. The question was a rhetorical question and not intended in any way to imply harm against fellow citizens. Watching the sausage get made is frustrating as it seems to take an excrutiatingly long time.

#7  Their lawyers will set a GoFundMe account. No worries.

#6  What's it going to take to clean up this mess?

A little, or a lot
No. We do not say things that could be interpreted as physical threats against Americans. The last time someone insisted on their right to say such things, we lost him for months. It was quite upsetting.

#5  The Special Counsel should be dissolved as well. They have found very little in over a year that would indicate that Trump's campaign had anything to do with the Russians trying to sway the election. It appears that the SC and supporters have broken the law in their witch hunt, is corrupt and tainted with conflicts of interests and has gone far beyond its mandate. Any collusion to rig an election was all on the part of Hillary and Obama and the Dems. It didn't work.

The SC appears to be a CYA effort to mask criminality by Hillary, Obama, the Dems and deep-state Pubs. In other words, a part of the coup d'état to take down a duly-elected POTUS. What's it going to take to clean up this mess?

#4  You misspelled 'lost' Besoeker.

They will become 'lost' until someone on the left needs them then they will magically appear on someone's desk.

It's an old plot twist... See Travelgate, etc...

#3  Actually, I would not be shocked to discover that the 'documents' along with all related electronic media have already been destroyed.

More justification for a thorough DoJ and FBI housecleaning.

#2  I will believe it after it happens. Not holding my breath.

#1  Hold them in Contempt!

Both serve... "At the pleasure of the President of The United States." POTUS no longer appears to be "pleasured."

An absolutely great opportunity for Sessions and POTUS to dismiss them both.

If their replacements at DoJ and the Bureau cannot provide the documents, fire them as well.

Rinse and repeat.
