If there were any remaining questions about whether or not Nunes is running a Republican Dog and Pony Show:

Meanwhile, the #TrumpRussia perps can't wait to get on television to spin Trump's Obama wiretap conspiracy theories.

1. Hopefully when they arrive "somebody" has "conveniently" locked Nunes in a broom closet.

2. If They Are Not Going To Be Put Under Oath When They Come Before The Committee Then....

they should be put on hold until they can testify to a Special Prosecutor or Grand Jury - under oath.

The risk to be taken if they go before the House Committee and not under oath is that they lie their butts off and provide Trump with talking points that make him look good.

You know that will happen if it is not under oath. They need to be held to a perjury standard and if they can't - I don't think they should let them testify.

3. Agree. Under oath.

But I have this feeling that they will never testify anywhere
and they know it. That's why they're volunteering, to make
it look like they have nothing to hide or did nothing wrong.

5. Dems need to refuse to participate in this

if they are not going to be under oath.

4. I have so many questions...will they be under oath - just for starters

What would be the harm in Yates testifying..it is going to happen anyway -

Also - IF, the Intel community has them dead to right, what would be the benefit of them appearing and lying?- I hope they do..but then I think (the committee) will get I don't remember, or I don't know - besides, if the committee doesn't have all the information, what pertinent questions could they ask?

6. Even if not under oath - which to these mobsters is a gesture entirely void of meaning - even then,

wouldn't the committee have, in their hands, evidence of wrongdoing?

And they could hold it up and say, HEY, you dumb shit, we have a photo/audio recording/video tape/credit card receipt of you doing THIS THING at THIS TIME in THIS PLACE? - and then the losers would have to respond?

And then maybe they'd take a breath, knowing they're done for, and start stuttering and then burst into inconsolable sobs? - Cuz I am down with THAT scenario!

[asiliveandbreathe]

7. LOL - stuttering and sobbing...still wonder though,

what questions could they ask without jeopardizing the investigation..do you suppose manafort and page and co. are on a fishing expedition? - To determine what the Intel Community has??

[Leghorn21]

9. Great queries - for someone who knows how all this works, which is not moi!! I'm seriously

learning (well, trying to) about how the cogs in the IC/Senate Intel Committee ETC. fit together (and asi...I am slooowww) - !

[asiliveandbreathe]

10. From my questions you can tell I have no answers either....

when in my work capacity I would ask lots of questions..my mantra was "help me to understand" - I am learning too...

[Leghorn21]

12. 10-4, my friend! Every day, all day, I'm saying "Dammit, I'm reading as fast as I can!!" - and

that's the best we can do, being mere mortals and all!!

11. They have been tipped off

To what the committee has so now they think they know what to say.
