The House Intelligence Committee has scrapped the rest of its meetings this week as calls intensify for Chairman Devin Nunes to step down following his admission that he met with a secret source at the White House to review intelligence reports.
The decision to cancel the meetings was confirmed on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" by Rep. Jim Himes — among the Democrats on the committee demanding that Rep. Nunes recuse himself from the inquiry into alleged Russian meddling in last year's election.
Himes said an intelligence committee meeting Monday was canceled, as well as an open hearing set for Wednesday and an unrelated meeting Thursday.
"Not only has this investigation sort of had a shadow cast on it, but the committee's been put into suspended animation," Himes said.
Nunes told reporters Tuesday "the investigation continues," but declined to say whether he planned to recuse himself.
On Monday, Nunes' spokesman confirmed that the chairman met with a source at the White House grounds to look at reports purportedly showing President Donald Trump or his aides were "incidentally" swept up in foreign surveillance by American spy agencies.
Nunes, a California Republican who was a member of the Trump transition team, initially told reporters last week that he had seen such reports, but didn't elaborate on the source.
He's now under criticism for failing to tell the top Democrat on the intelligence committee about his White House visit. It's also unclear why Nunes would go to the White House to seek a secure location to view classified material when members of the committee said there are secure rooms at the Capitol.
White House spokesman Sean Spicer refused to comment Monday when asked why Nunes was on White House grounds.

RE: Listening to Jay Sekulow’s live program on Facebook right now and their saying that the Democrats are literally obstructing and delaying EVERY THING.
Yep, they’eve been doing that since DAY 1 of the inauguration. It’s their strategy and tactic since they lost last November.
See Post #17 above.
Good list. It reminded me of this: (Hat tip to LC for this list):
"The current campaign against President Trump is organized in secret by four associations:
Media Matters is tasked with picking up on Donald Trump’s mistakes. You read his bulletin every day in your newspapers – the President can’t be trusted, he got this or that point wrong.
American Bridge 21st Century has collected more than 2,000 hours of videos showing Donald Trump over the years, and more than 18,000 hours of other videos of the members of his cabinet. It has at its disposition sophisticated technological equipment designed for the Department of Defense – allegedly not in working order – which enables it to look for contradictions between their older declarations and their current positions. It should be extending its work to 1,200 of the new President’s collaborators.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington — CREW is a firm of high level lawyers tasked with tracking anything that could create a scandal in the Trump administration. Most of the lawyers in this association work pro bono, for the cause. These are the people who prepared the case for Bob Ferguson, the Chief Prosecutor of the state of Washington, against the immigration decree (Executive Order 13769).
Shareblue is an electronic army which has already connected with 162 million internauts in the USA. It’s job is to spread pre-ordained themes, for example:
Trump is authoritarian and a thief.
Trump is under the influence of Vladimir Putin.
Trump is a weak and quick-tempered personality, he’s a manic-depressive.
Trump was not elected by the majority of US citizens, and is therefore illegitimate.
His Vice-President, Mike Pence, is a fascist.
Trump is a billionaire who will constantly be faced with conflicts of interest between his personal affairs and those of state.
Trump is a puppet of the Koch brothers, who are famous for sponsoring the extreme right.
Trump is a white supremacist and a threat to minorities. Anti-Trump opposition just keeps growing outside Washington.
To save democracy, let’s support the democratic parliamentarians who are attacking Trump, and let’s demolish those who are co-operating with him.
Overthrowing Trump will take time, so don’t let’s weaken in our resolve."
It's hard to believe they really want to destroy our sitting President, President Trump. Eternal vigilance and expect more of the same.
Who cancelled the meetings?
Good point. If Nunes is the Chairman. ?
Add McCain and lapdog Linda to the Democrats with treachery to hide.
But Lynn can meet with Bill Clinton on an airplane while Hillary is being investigated.
I’m sure they are just getting back at the Republicans for when Elijah Cummings was caught interfering with evidence and testimony during the Clinton E-mail investigation. Wait, what? there were no calls for recusal during the Clinton investigation? My bad.

He and McCain are Soros minions, as well is Ryan. Look up their campaign contributors.

He must be REALLY CLOSE to finding what others want hidden.
Time for someone to take charge and run this government. If democrats don’t want to participate on committees .... screw em ... do it without them ... they will either come around or they can spectate.
Last week, ranking member of Intelligence Committee Rep Adam Schiff was very nervous and visibly shaken in his press conference after Chairman Nunes’s` trip to the White House and subsequent cancellation of Clapper and Brennan's public testimony and the demand that Comey and Rodgers appear fora closed door, secret session on Tuesday.
The Sessions precedent at work.
Can you honestly think of one that hasn't?
We are finally getting very close to what is really going on in DeepState.
and they will fight tooth and nail to keep Americans from finding out about it.
This goes right to the top of the RATS and #NeverTrump.
McCain and Graham are involved.
This is why the GOP is refusing to back the investigation.
Linda and McCain are blocking the investigation because they are involved.
Where do you think McCain got the files to send to the FBI?
Go Nunes! Grind the traitors and seditionists to dust!
It won’t be egg on their faces, it will be a scornful reaction to having an arrest warrant slapped on across their face (not on the wrist).
