Devin Nunes warns Obama officials: Willingly testify on Russia investigation or face subpoenas
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | 7/2/18 | Daniel Chaitin

Posted on 07/03/2018 12:13:43 AM PDT by a little elbow grease

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., warned that if Obama administration officials he referred to a congressional task force for testimony on the Russia investigation refuse to cooperate, they will face subpoenas.

Nunes wrote a letter Monday to House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., with a list of 10 names from the Obama-era State Department and White House on Monday, urging them to interview these individuals in an "open setting."

During a Monday evening interview on Fox News, Nunes emphasized that because all the people on his list are American citizens, they can be compelled to testify.

"They can plead the Fifth," he told host Laura Ingraham. "This isn't going to be like the documents where we've had to continue to fight with the Justice Department in order to have access to documents. This is much different. These are all American citizens. They will, if they do not agree to appear under oath, and testify, then they will be subpoenaed. That I could tell you for sure."

but what will he do, when they ignore his subpoena, with contempt and impunity, and I am sure they will?

That comes to the test on June 6, when the full weight the House gets put to the test by [RR] Rosenstein. If he fails to comply with the subpoena to turn over documents, then I'm guessing that Trump orders it. Then we will see what we will see.

Either way, [RR] is toast. The documents will most likely implicate him, at the least get him to recuse, at the most fired. Then a Trump guy takes his spot and then it's "let's get it on" and "bring the PAIN." Things will start to move much faster with [RR] out of the way.

After that, we'll see how those additional subpoenas go. This Drama just got hot.

People need to get on board or be left behind.

T There's a plan going on which you can follow on the Q thread. It's very engaging. You should check it out.

The corrupt ones will not ignore the subpoena, but they will plead the fifth.

The incorrupt ones, will force the subpoenas, but will testify and it will be against the corrupt ones.

The larger question is (and if “oversight committee” history repeats, we already know the answer) will these committees actually do anything? We’ve seen these dog and pony shows before. It seems all these “oversight” committees do is present a public forum for Democrats and Republicans to demonstrate how much they can politicize these crimes and there is zero real justice served. Trey Gowdy - big mouth, little balls.

Thanks to Nunes, Gowdy and Goodlatte for their great courage and endurance in this most important endeavor. The virtually unimaginable amount of document research, planning, speech and case preparation done by them and their staffers is truly amazing!

I realize that they’re going through monstrous amounts of intense work for no more than preparations for the fight of the century so far. Our President was right about “draining the swamp.” They’re giving it their best push in the greatest scrummage on earth.

Devin Nunes: Democrats ‘Have All This Blood on Their Hands’ Because They ‘Completely Destroyed the FBI and DOJ’

Very true... we need some kind of gang of whistleblowers to explode in D.C. and tell the truth about things. Maybe some of these "invited" individuals will speak some truth.

What he’ll expose with the testimony of these people is that the surveillance on the Trump, if not other campaigns, was coordinated by the Obama State department and begun much earlier than the FBI and DOJ admitted to. In other words,as Devin Nunes stated, the democrats have bllod on their hands by having fed information from Hillary Clinton’s minions into the intelligence agencies and the department of justice to fabricate a reason to spy on an opposing candidates campaign.

I’ll add another point, this would have been the October surprise against the republican nominee to say that his campaign was under federal investigation for ties with Russia. Unfortunately for Crooked Hillary and the crooked dems is that the Weiner laptop surfaced...

There's a reason for that.

Another strongly worded follow-up memo should do the trick.

engineer, musician, and yes a little writing, just think things are not so difficult if folks are willing to save the country through common sense and love, get out of debt whatever it takes, and live within our means like all sane families who seek prosperity..Let that message spread out of our borders, and when love and respect for human life becomes normal maybe then the world could change, where I think the ideas of one for all and all for one fail as a earth wide philosophy is that there is no good man to implement it properly, always ends up as loss of freedoms, tyranny. I consider what we have to guard against as we grow is becoming babylon the whore..our vision is sadly lacking about what a perfect world would be..We need a King with perfect vision given from the experience of creation at the beginning..so until then, we should not consider the marxist, racist ways of hate. on this day as we approach July 4th let it be known that in the blood of those who gave their lives for this country is a desire from God to have a land with enough freedoms to facilitate the protection of Israel, and the spreading of Christianity.
This was the reason for America, God Bless America with brotherhood !!
Come our King Jesus, restore the earth and our souls in His way to our fulfillment.
peace to you thanks for the opportunity..smile
