Nunes calls for testimony from 17 FBI, DOJ officials on government surveillance abuse
[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.

#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.

#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.

Obama's Regret: You Loved Me Too Much [VIDEO]
[Victory Girls] Every time I wonder about the narcissism of Donald Trump and his ability to bring everything back around to himself, Barack Obama then pops up to remind me that he truly was the master at making everything about him. It was just that the media let him get away with it.

#1  Not enough room in this post for Master of the Obvious picture and Obama's massive ego, apparently.

#3  My, not Ny. I'll stop now.

#4  Some folks did love him so much that they didn't reign him in as he trashed the country and his own political party, leading the Democrats into the wilderness for a long time (hopefully) while his own legacy of Executive Orders is easily dismantled.

#5  The rare times the spousal unit and I mention politics, she thunders, "Well, you hated Obama!"

I tell her I did not hate him; maybe that was loving him too much?

#6  In a way sotero was the president we needed and deserved. He removed all of the facade. Perhaps he was the light ringer after all. They overplayed their hand so massively. History will prove it to be one of the greates blunders in a power war.

#7  "It seemed like a 'Good Idea' at the time." -Pyrrhus of Epirus.
So many people were absolutely infatuated that they could vote for an African-American President that nothing else registered.

#8  Mostly, the Kool-Aid drinkers of the left loved Obamessiah too much and still do. For them, governing is about power as well as the "Cult of personality." IMHO, he was a huxster and snake oil salesman. Brennan and others helped "package" him to make him.
