this is what trump wanted.....'grinds to a halt'
All meetings of the House Russia investigators were canceled this week after the top Democrat, Rep. Adam Schiff, said Nunes must recuse himself in order for the investigation to continue. Nunes, however, told CNN Tuesday morning he was "moving forward" with the investigation and said he won't recuse himself.
"It moves forward just like it was before," Nunes told reporters.
It's a monumental shift from where House investigators planned to be Tuesday, interrogating a trio of former Obama administration officials in a public hearing. But last week's hearing -- the first and so far only public hearing of the House Russia investigation -- sparked a wildfire of partisan fighting after FBI Director James Comey confirmed he is investigating possible coordination between President Donald Trump's campaign aides and Russian officials.

Real patriots fight to preserve that which makes us free and a democracy.
If a WH or institution can say no, you will NOT be allowed to know what happened, it is then ALL patriots duty to DEMAND to know, regardless of where the chips fall and which party is harmed.
McCain and Graham know this but so far have chosen to remain relatively quiet.
I gave credit where due when Cheney came out against the Trump/Russia collusion, because as fucked up as that guy is, I truly believe he will be on the right side of this. Bush Sr. as well, W needs to come out NOW and loudly.

Due to the nature of this crime - collusion with the Russians - I have to put the crime and the cover-up on equal footing here.

(1,786 posts)There were articles about this a week or two ago, I think at Palmer Report, where the House wouldn't do shit but the Senate will.
It is going as those articles said it would.
I think Dems control the Senate investigation committee and I think McCain is on that as well.

I trust that Yates will be provided ample opportunity to share her testimony with the Senate & FBI.
45 Ryan & Nunes can flex their little muscles to impress the Faux & Friends base &
possibly prevent some random fluke event involving their sudden death due to purely natural causes....
This web of corruption is not limited to the 2016 election....
It has simply evolved and strengthened over time and continues to grow day by day.....
We have found a loose thread (45/election) which will likely lead to a RICO case once the unraveling of the entire web has occurred....
The downside to all of this is that these future RICO defendants are continuing to launder & defraud & exploit & intimidate & conspire thanks to every act of deconstruction that 45 authorizes as well as those which involve govt spending, foreign trade agreements, etc.....
Hopefully, those tasked with unraveling will do so quickly in order to prevent as much "new" web weaving as possible..

(14,400 posts)happened during Watergate although the Democrats had House control.
There were many attempts to stop investigating by the White House and members of Congress.
The drip, drip, drip never stopped and eventually it had to move on.
People in Congress are a lot more worried about their jobs than Trump and his sycophants.

There is just too much information out there, and it will come out.....slowly but it will come out.

(63,812 posts)what should we call it, a takeover, a corporate takeover, a huge oil deal to line the pockets of tRump, Putin, Tillerson and the rest of the cabal. These guys need to be thrown out, they are destroying our country and our credibility.
