It seems that Congressman Devin Nunes has been obstructing justice right out in the open. It started with that idiotic "midnight run" to the White House last year. And the House oversight committee that he chairs has done everything possible to shield Trump.

None of us knows whether or not he's a subject of Mueller's investigation regarding obstruction of justice.

So, if there are any lawyers out there, could Nunes be indicted for obstruction of justice?

1. If he was a democrat he would have been indicted and jailed LONG ago

2. Laurence Tribe and some of the other attorneys have commented that Nunes' congressional immunity

does not hold off the floor of Congress, so that if he spills classified information or some of his other behavior may not be safe from prosecution.

to see it happen.... if possible.

4. All I know is that we need to pull out all the stops in

beating Nunes in his California district. He can be beaten, but it's going to take campaign funding and a massive GOTV effort. The best way to deal with him will be to toss him out of office and replace him with a Democrat - any Democrat!

10. Nunes' poll numbers are ticking down, and the race was downgraded from "Safe Republican" to "Likely"

Unfortunately the über red seat may not flip, but Andrew Janz deserves high marks for holding Nune's feet to the fire.

7. It depends is Nunes is protected by the speech and debate clause

8. At the very least, he can be hauled before the ethics committee

Assuming that he gets re-elected, and the Dems take the House. He could be hauled before the Ethics Committee and subsequently expelled from the House.

9. Well, If The Dems Win Back the House, Let the Fun Begin!

Noonass, if he wins reelection, will be in a permanent penalty box!
