" They were trying to get Mr.Gowdy and I to go on Friday to the department of justice for supposedly another briefing.We said look,unless were gonna get documents, we found out Thursday night they were not going to provide documents,so therefore we were not going to go.
Now, if you look what happened on Friday night, probably the mother of all leaks of all time, to two major newspapers that came out late Friday night .
Had Mr. Gowdy and I went to that meeting you can bet they (DoJ/DeepState) would have tried to pin that on us."
-----------------------------------------------
Seems a trap was laid by the Deep State and the Democrats to step up Nunes and Gowdy thereby allowing them to destroy their reputations and win the public relations battle and their Lawfare battle.
Neo-Marxist Sen. Mark Warner by his own statements must have know a top was set for Nunes and Gowdy when he stated on Friday, "It would be at best irresponsible, and at worst potentially illegal, for members of Congress to use their positions to learn the identity of an FBI source for the purpose of undermining the ongoing investigation into Russian interference in our election,"
Sleepy’s DOJ is a viper pit.
Geebus these people need to be arrested...
Too bad the President can’t fire the people who set this up.
What nobody has mentioned here is that an unredacted copy of the Rosenstein memo was given to the Federal judge presiding over Paul Manafort's trial just a few days ago.
I would think any scheme to frame a "leaker" in this case would try to pin it on that judge instead of Nunes or Gowdy.
The Kenyanseian Usurper had EIGHT YEARS to stuff our government full of true believers.
Impeach Jeff Sessions.
Enough!
A set up, indeed.
Do you have a valid link to this video? I watched the show this morning, then rewatched the video posted on FOXNEWS that was the same as I watched, and heard none of this. Could this possibly be a different video than the one I heard? Would love to hear it if you could point me to the correct video. (Link posted has no video for me.). Thanks.
They need to quit pissing around. Issue supaenas for the documents immediate ly.
If not complied with vote contempt charges and send the US Marshalls to arrest them and hold them in the House Basement.
Bring articles of Impeachment against Wray, Rosenstein, and Sessions.
Long overdue - time to escort Sessions The Troll out ...
Nunes was angry... first time I’ve seen him that upset.. and more so over the fact they can’t hold the documents but are holding the documents. He said they need to see the documents and the justice dept can’t hold them... but won’t let the rightful dept.. Nunes.. see them. So, why did they give the documents to the ones who will not give them to Nunes!! Someone will say “he had to”.. nope.. don’t cooperate with the wrong doings of the criminals. Ya’ don’t ever ‘have to” when there is this much dirty pool going on.
The Dems started a stink in March 2017, after Nunes went to the White House to gain information regarding the Trump transition team’s having been monitored by U.S. intelligence agencies. The House Ethics Committee opened an investigation over his White House visit, during which time Nunes took a temporary leave from the Intelligence Committee while the investigation ran its course. The Dems have been trying to get rid of this investigation from the beginning, because they knew where it would lead.
Chairman Nunes,
STOP acting like a pussy! Demand Speaker Ryan give you a stack of Signed Arrest and Detainment Warrants for Contempt of Congress. MAKE IT LOUD AND VERY PUBLIC!!!
Subpoena EVERYONE, Lock All witnesses in a Private Room so they will have NO IDEA what any other person testified to. Do the EXACT SAME THING for EVERY ATTORNEY and Assistant in the Chambers, Then bring them in 1 by 1 and when they LIE, balk or refuse to answer or turn over documents, ORDER THE Sergeant at Arms to take them in to Custody where they will be Held in Solitary Confinement until the Next Hearing, in the CONGRESSIONAL JAIL! YES we Know you have your very own Jail that you refuse to use, why do you think it is there in the first place??
Congress has ALL the power in washington, the executive and judicial branch operate according to the whims of CONGRESS!
“U.S. CODE
TITLE 2—THE CONGRESS
CHAPTER 6—CONGRESSIONAL AND COMMITTEE PROCEDURE; INVESTIGATIONS
Sec. 193. Privilege of witnesses
No witness is privileged to refuse to testify to any fact, or to produce any paper, respecting which he shall be examined by either House of Congress, or by any joint committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or by any committee of either House, upon the ground that his testimony to such fact or his production of such paper may tend to disgrace him or otherwise render him infamous.”
Simply look up Hinds Precedents, especially chapters 53 and 51, and Cannon’s Precedents, especially chapters 184-185. You’ll find numerous detailed cases of Congress asserting its power, arresting people, holding them until they agreed to answer questions, and then releasing them. Some of these people did not refuse to appear, but simply failed to satisfactorily answer questions. One has to wonder how a previous Congress might have responded to Alberto Gonzales’s endless recitations of “I do not recall.”
Congress can Remove the President
Congress can remove the head of every executive agency Congress can remove ALL of their employees
Congress can Abolish every agency they so choose
Congress can remove EVERY JUDGE IN AMERICA, including every supreme court justice.
Congress can abolish every federal court except the supreme Court
Congress can decide which cases the Judicial Branch can hear and decide
CONGRESS can Imprison ANYONE they want for any reason they so desire for as long as they wish.
Congress can declare WAR
No other governing body has even 10% of the power CONGRESS has!!
CONGRESS IS ALLOWING ALL OF IT!!!
Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)
If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.
Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.
Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.
Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

In 1857, a New York Times reporter refused to say which members of Congress had asked him to get them bribes (protecting his “sources” just as various Judith Millers today protect the people who feed them proven lies that costs thousands of lives), so Congress locked him up until he answered and then banned him from Congress.
In 1924 an oil executive appeared but refused to answer certain questions, so the Senate held — literally held — him in contempt. Senator Thomas Walsh of Montana argued that this question of contempt was of the gravest importance, and that it involved “the very life of the effective existence of the House of Representatives of the United States and of the Senate of the United States.” The matter was taken to court, and the witness fined and imprisoned.
Rod Rosenstein is a traitor. Actively tried to take Nunes out here.
I know is is frustrating, but have patience. I am guessing we will have a little red meat this summer/early fall. The real action will occur after we secure our increase in the Senate and hold the house. Playing our hand too soon could cut into the increase that we expect. Keep turning up the heat on the democrat frog. Solid move on Trumps part: hey dems, prove a negative regarding the spying on campaign.
If we have reached the stage where the DOJ is trying to set up and frame Congressional committee chairmen, it it literally time to send in the Marines and drag the coup plotters out and stick them in military prisons.
I’m betting the leaker is Clapper or Comey or both.
