Five weeks ago, House Speaker Paul Ryan accused the DOJ and FBI of “stonewalling” the House Intelligence Committee’s wide-ranging subpoena for all pertinent information about how the largely unsubstantiated “Trump dossier” played into the DOJ’s decision to launch the infamous Trump collusion investigation. At the time, the speaker said the agency was preparing to turn over the information requested by the committee, but despite his assurances, the promised documents never materialized.
Then yesterday, thanks to a series of coordinated media leaks, Nunes learned – at the same time as the broader public - about the reassignment of Peter Strzok, a senior Mueller aide who had played a critical role in the DOJ’s original collusion investigation. And before that, Strzok helped lead the FBI’s probe into Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified information.
As it turns out, the agent had been reassigned for expressing anti-Trump sentiments in a series of text messages to FBI attorney Lisa Page while the two were having an affair. The bureau, it appears, had willfully tried to conceal this fact from Nunes and his committee.
Upon being blindsided with this information and publicly embarassed, the Intel committee chairman was understandably less than pleased. So in a statement issued Sunday, Nunes announced a serious escalation: His committee, he said, is preparing to hold Andrew McCabe and assistant AG Rod Rosenstein in contempt for the DOJ's failure to comply with Nunes's subpoena.
Strzok was reassigned in July, shortly before Nunes issued the request for the bureau to turn over all documents relating to the Trump dossier. In a transparent attempt to save face, the bureau contacted Nnes shortly after the Strzok news broke on Saturday to say they were ready to comply with the subpoena. But Nunes rightly repudiated this offer, saying it was too little, too late.

I already hold McCabe, Rosenstein, Comey and Mueller in contempt.
“We’ll see.
I don’t expect much. “
I just dropped Devin Nunes a note telling him it was time to tighten up his jockstrap, stop talking, and start doing. If you are a CA resident, his site will take your comments.
Issa, Gowdy, and now Nunes, you have to wonder how all of these guys were born with big mouths and no testicles.
And don’t get me going about Sessions, that little worthless f*cker should be in jail along with the top leadership in both the DOJ and the FBI.
Yep, and the swamp is being drained.
“FBI Director Wray?
Never heard of him. Neither has anybody else since his confirmation. “
Another stealth leader like Sessions? But to be fair, he’s walked into a first-class bucket of $hit at the FBI, so maybe we should give him a few more weeks.
We have a country that is governed by the lawless.
Why should we think that will change?
