Lawrence O'Donnell: Paul Ryan Told Devin Nunes to Take "Incidentally Collected Information" To Trump
Paul Ryan says Devin Nunes shouldn't recuse himself from Russia investigation Mar 28, 2017
House Speaker Paul Ryan today reiterated his solidarity with Rep. Devin Nunes, saying the Intelligence Committee chairman should continue to lead the chamber's Russia investigation.
When asked today whether he thought Nunes, R-Calif., should recuse himself and whether he knows the source of Nunes' information on alleged incidental collection of information from the Trump presidential campaign, Ryan said simply, "No and no."

I have heard the story 20 times, Nunes took the info to Trump, they all skip he first went to Paul Ryan and Ryan gave him the OK!

(16,900 posts)If the shoe was flipped and Pelosi had authorized the Democratic head of the House intelligence committee to take info of an investigation into the executive branch to President Obama or Clinton, does anyone believe that the media would sigh with a collective "meh"?? We know the answer to that, but it's no less infuriating.

(16,900 posts)I watched CNN and MSNBC for about a hour today after news broke that the WH had blocked Yates' testimony. They both covered it, yes, but there was no outrage, no connecting of the dots, so to speak. I haven't watched anything this afternoon, but will likely turn it only later. Perhaps your take is correct and I'm biased by what I saw, but the point remains: the GOP gets away with this crap all the time with no real pushback. Here's hoping that's not the case this time.
