Exclusive: Nunes demands Justice Department records. Then he doesn't read them

CNN)House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes was livid.

For months, he had been demanding a fully uncensored version of a highly sensitive document from the Justice Department explaining how the Russia investigation began in 2016, but he wasn't getting it. As the standoff escalated, Nunes began warning Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein -- the man in charge of special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation -- that he could face contempt of Congress, or even worse. "We're not going to just hold in contempt," Nunes said to Fox News last month. "We will have a plan to hold in contempt and to impeach." Nunes had already been offered time to review a copy of the electronic communication formally authorizing the FBI's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, but he had publicly demanded to see what was behind certain blacked out lines.

Others read it, and would inform Nunes. Nunes simply flipped DOJ the keener neener bird.

According to sources with knowledge of the situation.

“I admire CNN’s unrivaled ability to faithfully produce foolish hit pieces on Republicans that are spoon-fed to them by anonymous sources,” Nunes spokesman Jack Langer said in a statement, providing no further comment.

It says that Gowdey read it - this was mentioned before - Gowdey is the most qualified person to do so. This is a non story - from CNN (shock!)

Getting REDACTED information is the DOJ giving the finger to Congress.

This won’t end well for the Deep State.

The communist news network has ZERO credibility.

Over 40 years ago, Steppenwolf wrote a song about them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SeUqDjPeP0

STEPPENWOLF LYRICS
“The Ostrich”

We’ll call you when you’re six years old
And drag you to the factory
To train your brain for eighteen years
With promise of security
But then you’re free
And forty years you waste to chase the dollar sign
So you may die in Florida
At the pleasant age of sixty nine

The water’s getting hard to drink
We’ve mangled up the country side
The air will choke you when you breathe
We’re all committing suicide
But it’s alright
It’s progress folks keep pushin’ till your body rots
Will strip the earth of all it’s green
And then divide her into parking lots

But there’s nothing you and I can do
You and I are only two
What’s right and wrong is hard to say
Forget about it for today
We’ll stick our heads into the sand
Just pretend that all is grand
Then hope that everything turns out ok

You’re free to speak your mind my friend
As long as you agree with me
Don’t criticize the father land
Or those who shape your destiny
‘Cause if you do
You’ll lose your job your mind and all the friends you knew
We’ll send out all our boys in blue
They’ll find a way to silence you

But there’s nothing you and I can do
You and I are only two
What’s right and wrong is hard to say
Forget about it for today
We’ll stick our heads into the sand
Just pretend that all is grand
Then hope that everything turns out ok
