| Nunes calls for testimony from 17 FBI, DOJ officials on government surveillance abuse |
| 2018-06-30 |
| [FOX] House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., wants 17 current and former FBI or Justice Department officials to testify on Capitol Hill about possible government surveillance abuse during the 2016 election, including fired FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe and embattled FBI official Peter Strzok. In a letter obtained by Fox News, Nunes requests that the joint task force of the Oversight and Judiciary Committees take steps to interview these officials because they may "have relevant information." The House Intelligence Committee does not have direct oversight over the FBI and the DOJ, so testimony is more likely to be compelled by referring names to the Oversight and Judiciary Committees. "For the sake of transparency and to keep the American people as fully informed as possible about these matters, the task force should consider interviewing these individuals in an open setting," Nunes wrote in the Friday letter to House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy and House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte. |

| #2 Taking the 5th isn't a get out of jail free card, but it will mean a long, long, time throwing anyone in prison. All part of the slow walk. |

| #1 For all the current employees, be sure to make a bunch of "I'll take the Fifth again" signs on bidders cards so they don't have to work so hard. |
