-- Nunes is at least standing up and taking action against the stalling tactics of the Justice Dept, and I appreciate that over pearl clutching. --

Me too. What's triggered my ire is the combination of "Sessions didn't know we wanted this stuff, so we are going to hold him in contempt," and the general sense of glee to the proposition that Sessions might be held in contempt. I'd add to that second point, even if there is substantive justification for a delay in sharing details with Congress.

Not to say all the stalling is justified. By inspection, much of the redaction and withholding is face saving hiding really bad behavior.

Be careful about the power you are willing to give Nunes. One day Schiff or his equivalent will have the power. There is darn good reason for separation of powers. Right now, the entity that is most urgently trying to bring down Trump is the executive (Mueller), not Congress, not the Courts.

Bad or criminal? It makes a difference.

Agree with you. Executive branch is a mess. So much we don’t know. Fortunately, Congress can’t indict anyone.

Appreciate your insightful posts.
