The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee will not step down from the committee's investigation into Russia's interference in the United States presidential election, despite a growing chorus of Democratic lawmakers demanding he recuse himself.

"Of course not," Nunes' communications director, Jack Langer, said when asked if the congressman would step aside. "They’re playing an absurd political game."

Nunes echoed that sentiment in an appearance on Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor” Monday night, saying in response to a question, “I’m sure the Democrats do want me to quit."

"Everything is politics here," Nunes also told a Voice of America journalist.

11. Absolutely!!

[oldtime dfl_er]

29. Moveon has a petition

I don't necessarily think petitions do a ton of good, but moveon is an exception to that. Petitions that get a lot of signatures tend to get resources assigned to them. This one has over 100,000 signatures so far.

36. Excellent! Thanks! nt

[riversedge]

38. Thanks. for info.

[George II]

7. Of course he ran off to Fox News to refuse to quit.....

...probably faster than he ran off to the white house to brief trump.

[UpInArms]

8. next step for you,. Nunes, is out the door

:kick:

[dchill]

9. Nunes is another lying Republican bucket of shame.

He doesn't care who knows it. He's in for all his chips. He's involved.

[Honeycombe8]

12. An investigation for colluding with a foreign enemy is not politics. The Dems aren't playing

politics.

Nunes did something scurilous and underhanded and not in keeping with the integrity of chairman of an intelligence committee. Any committee findings will be suspect.

He needs to withdraw.

[dalton99a]

16. +1

[briv1016]

13. With Sessions out, Donald needs a new firewall.

[Orrex]

14. Pure, undisguised arrogance

"Why should I stop being fundamentally corrupt? What are Democrats going to do about it?"

[notdarkyet]

17. They get their cues from their leaders. Trump breaks laws every day and no one does

Anything, so the minions feel they can too. Especially if it's blessed by trump. Like getting people to lie for him all the time.

[Sunlei]

15. Republicans have Nunes on their fox TV to block the Russia investigations. Start without him.

[babylonsister]

18. I bet he does. rethugs are all talk, especially

this one, who apparently likes to talk too much!

[sharedvalues]

19. Don't worry; keep pressure up; Nunes denying will just make things worse for him/administration

[Equinox Moon]

26. Agreed.

[Sculpin Beauregard]

20. How in the (cover your ears, folks)

Flying fuckity fuck is this even A CHOICE HE GETS TO MAKE? Force him to step down!!!

Or simply go through him. The people DEMAND AN OPEN HEARING, it is not HIS choice to make!!

If he won't go by the rules, the others on the committee should stand together and ignore him, and demand an open hearing on behalf of the people they serve!! Fuck him if he doesn't like it.

[Duppers]

24. He seems quite F'n confident

that won't happen. Troubling.

[moonscape]

21. Shocker! n/t

[CousinIT]

22. NUNES is the one playing "absurd political games" n/t

[Equinox Moon]

23. Spot on!

[murielm99]

25. Can the people in his district do something

about him? He needs to be voted out of office.

[Equinox Moon]

27. Post #6 has numbers for us to call.

I wonder what his local press is saying about him?

[C Moon]

28. Wow! By saying, "I'm sure the Democrats do want me to quit"

makes it clear that he is there to gum up the works.
Just WOW!
I'm beginning to think Nunes is Trump /Putins last chance.
GDFB's!!!
They don't give a damn about our beautiful country and our constitution—TRAITORS!!!!!!!!

[SleeplessinSoCal]

30. weasel words.

"Everything is politics here,"

[lillypaddle]

31. This guy is really

PISSING me off! What an arrogant POS, he has a lot of nerve. Guess he is untouchable. Somebody needs to start applying the screws to that jackoff Ryan.

[olddad56]

32. If Comrade Nunes stepped down, Mr. Putin would not be pleased.

[alwaysinflux]

33. What's the point?

I mean, really? He will just be replaced by another republican who will do the same shenanigans.

Even calling for an independent investigation will be useless. An independent investigator will be chosen by Boente, who apparently is in cahoots with Trump. Obama removed Boente from the order of succession in the DOJ 7 days before he left office. Trump added Boente back when he took office. I take those actions to mean Boente can't be trusted.

It seems to me we're SOL.

[Major Nikon]

34. The point is the cover-up is worse than the crime

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watergate_scandal

While what you say is true, the ball people should be following is the GOP will perpetually obfuscate and obstruct their own crimes while simultaneously promoting fake news about email servers, responses to embassy attacks, voter fraud other nonsense that has no basis in the world most call reality. They will also spend tens of millions investigating a blowjob, while not bothering to perform even rudimentary review of collusion with an aggressive foreign power hostile to US interests in their subversion of US democracy.

[alwaysinflux]

35. Good point

It is important to keep pursuing it, even as the GOP continues to try to obstruct justice. Eventually there will be a public outcry if this keeps going on.

[riversedge]

37. Here is a very informative article about Numes. It is a few

years old but shows how stubborn he can be.

39. Lock him the fuck up. nt

[Mc Mike]

40. Magnanimously waving the clouds of suspicion aside...

42. Obstrucionist traitor
