Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said on Sunday that he may send another criminal referral to the Justice Department. During an interview on Fox News, Nunes said notes about a meeting between Trump dossier author Christopher Steele and a State Department official were withheld from the House Intelligence Committee during its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election that wrapped up last year. "It's likely now, as we do our investigation as to why we didn't get this information that we've just been discussing from the State Department two years ago when we should have received it, there could be another referral coming on obstruction a congressional investigation," he said.

I’ll believe it when I see it. So far, for the past two years, it’S COMING, NEXT WEEK, IT’S ABOUT TO, SOON, BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Good. Just do it.

"Newly released notes from an Oct. 11, 2016, meeting between Steele and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec cast doubt on the reliability of his dossier and called into question the information provided to the court in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act application that was submitted later that month against onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. The notes, which Kavalec is believed to have emailed to the FBI in mid-October, indicate that Steele knew he had been hired by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee and had been told they wanted his findings made public prior to the 2016 election on Nov. 8."

Kathleen ought to be a good one to squeeze to throw someone else under the bus.

MAY??? MAY???? You Republicans BETTER START MOVING! Geesh, the Democrats would have already done this!<P.MOVE IT!!

“Kathleen ought to be a good one to squeeze to throw someone else under the bus.”

Sounds like the squeezing has started with her.

When I see the name Devin Nunes, I usually don’t bother reading the article, because no action is going to follow.
Maybe he just likes being on TV.

MAY??? MAY???? You Republicans BETTER START MOVING!

Nunes has sent criminal referrals in the past. He will "likely" send this new criminal referral.

I think our problem is with the DOJ, or at least the past DOJ under Sessions.

I would apply your remark to the current DOJ. They "better start moving".

Seriously, you don't know what you are talking about.

[BobL]

Tick. Tock.

I agree, just send in the referrals and then tell us you did it. We don’t need the grandstanding.

Modified, Limited Hangout. Limited Hangout: release just enough information that the rubes beleive something is being done, information that distracts or discredits what actually happened. Modified: change anything that identifies the governments actual culpability. RInse and repeat at intervals required. “Any day now” initially and gradually shift to “just a couple more weeks”. Once most people don’t care you can go to “in 4 to 6 months”. Do this for about ten years so that no one cares anymore when you announce it was all just a misunderstanding caused by a minimum wage clerk.

Perhaps you missed what has happened since Barr became AG.
He ended the Mueller Investigation and flipped it into Spygate.
Declared Trump not guilty
He is replacing the Internal Affairs Investigation of the IG into a real US Attorney Investigation complete with an active Grand Jury.
He has garnered the cooperation of the CIA and ODNI

Barr is action

EXACTLY ... all this is starting to sound like when the Rats kept saying “... We’ve got him now! ...” when referring to Pres Trump.

I doubt we will ever see anything come of this investigation of the investigators.

[Awgie]

Really sick of the whiny petulant cry-babies on FR who sit back doing nothing while criticizing those who are actually on the front lines. Seriously, you are almost as annoying as dems. “The glass is half empty I tell you!” It's a syndrome I call, “The world revolves around me,” syndrome.

This is the Last time I will waste time reading or responding to this lazy lot of losers. Same idiots all the time...

[Truthoverpower]

Look at this point after 20 years of the Clintons and Obama and all these criminals getting away with bloody murder all we want is at least the appearance of a somewhat level playing field
In other words if you delete 33,000 emails and have all kinds a top-secret stuff on your unprotected server and then destroy it all and then use bleach bit can’t we at least get like one felony out of that please ?
Or if you conspired with the Russians and use the powers of the NSA fbi and CIA to try to overthrow a duly elected president - can we get a couple Felonies out of that as well please?
I do agree that Barr and Durham will get something going
And if you look at the timeline the election is next year in November so there is plenty of time
Furthermore our great and wonderful president Donald J Trump will certainly get four more years as well so...

[StAntKnee]

Nice rant. I’m onboard with you.

[joma89]

I doubt it...but we shall see.
