Devin Nunes: AG Jeff Sessions should be held in contempt of Congress

[Dashinka 24,765]

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes is going to push Congress to hold Attorney General Jeff Sessions in contempt of Congress.

The Californian Republican’s committee has been looking into allegations that the Justice Department and the FBI abused the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act in their scrutiny of the Trump campaign.

“On Thursday we discovered that they are not going to comply with our subpoena,” Nunes said on "Fox and Friends Sunday," adding, “the only thing left to do is we have to move quickly to hold the attorney general of the United States in contempt and that is what I will press for this week.”

Two weeks ago, Nunes sent to Sessions a classified letter, which he said was not acknowledged, and then he sent a subpoena.

 

Nunes, who did concede that it’s possible Sessions personally is unaware of the subpoena, told "Fox and Friends Sunday" that he won’t accept “excuses” relating to national security concerns in terms of his ongoing investigation of how the Russia probe was handled.

“How many times have we heard this argument throughout this investigation?” he asked.

House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, Republican of Louisiana, expressed support for Nunes on "Fox and Friends Sunday."

“I have deeper and deeper concerns the more I see some of this, not only the stonewalling, but what’s been in some of these memos,” said Scalise. “We’re also trying to get a lot of other information from the Department of Justice about this investigation, and everything that we uncover raises even deeper concerns about the direction.”

Sessions should be fired and replaced with someone who has a spine.

The DOJ is in major CYA mode.  Last I heard we were a representative Republic, the representatives of the people should have access to the stuff the DOJ is holding back.

I know Trump is trying not to give the corporate media more fake news to run with so he is staying out of DOJ matters. However things are getting out of control and he needs to exercise his executive authority over the DOJ and clean house. If he doesn't that is bordering on dereliction of duty.

Part of the issue is that I believe some of the information may be related to King Mueller, so if Trump or Sessions gets involved, the MDL political types will be running for the nearest microphone/camera screaming "impeach".  Actually, it would probably just be Maxine Waters since many of the DNC leadership is trying to downplay the impeachment talk prior to November.

Trump accidentally recruited a few Bull Gators in his hast to put together a team. I think it was like >  What ? I won ?

 

They need to go so he can fully drain the swamp

I read somewhere that the DNC is considering making "impeach Trump" their campaign platform.

I hope so.  Nothing would stir up the Trump base more.
