Nunes: Hello is Director Comey, there?

FBI operator: He's not in at the moment. May I ask who's calling?

Nunes: <click> Welp I tried

Devin Nunes the great negotiator everyone.

Whatever charges could potentially come out of this, treason won't be one of them. Russia is not officially an enemy of the US. Doesn't mean this isn't horrible shit, but treason is narrowly defined for a reason.

I think they'd tag Trump/his team with treason because I'm pretty sure this would also vault Russia up to "official enemy" levels

 

[Dan]

Official word coming straight from the desk of M. Daemon responded saying Comey is unavailable. Oh well.

Oh god, I want this to be real. "Sorry, a Mr. Daemon responded negatively to our request to speak with Director Comey."

 

[umop_3pisdn]

With this blatant of a coverup maybe they should summarily be given the harshest punishment. Like if they're not going to be forthcoming then maybe a decision should just be made from the rank stench of suspicion emanating from this whole thing.

That M. Daemon never quits. Why isn't he the director?

If M. Daemon teams up with Watson from IBM we won't need Comey.

The Daemon guy said something about an SMTP error, must've meant "Sorry man, totally partying".

I'm just curious, what stops the willing members of the committee from renting a conference room in a hotel or something and meeting with Yates and broadcasting her testimony?

We're talking about US counterintelligence.

The Senate has already confirmed she will testify to them. Rather its public is to be seen but Nunes can only really interfere in the house investigation. You still have the Senate, IC and FBI investigations who all seem very serious in getting to the bottom of this.

 

[JZA]

We're talking about US counterintelligence.

But my understanding was that the hearings today were going to be public anyway and classified information wasn't going to be discussed? Maybe I misunderstood.

Yeah hopefully Comey refused and just lets the committee die, it'll continue elsewhere and continue to fuel the dumpster fire that is the Trump administration.

Looking at his Twitter page, he also wants us to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, so he's likely a moderate Republican. It's something, I guess.

Comey is going to sit there and say "no comment". It'll be awesome.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

I'm picturing Nunes getting increasingly agitated at Comey while he effortlessly deflects all of his questions.

Eventually the idiot will slip up and admit that he's trying to ruin the investigation.

Walter Jones is the first and only guy Dems mention when they talk about having support for an independent investigation. He might as well be considered another Democrat on this subject at this point.

Gotta hand it to 'em. The GOP has elevated obstructionism to an artform

"Does Nunes have your full confidence?" I asked Senate Intelligence Chair Burr.

"I don't have anything to do with the House," he replied.

That's a no.

Wasn't there speculation that the house intelligence was being given separate information versus what the Senate was given?

 

[smokeymicpot]

Yes that is why we should wait to see what the Senate says. If they come out tomorrow the House will be in oh shit mode we need to get the bottom of this. Or they keep brushing it all off.

 

[Felix Lighter]

I wonder if Nunes himself was brought up. That would put everyone in a real awkward situation watching this all play out.

More like its down for host migration.

BREAKING: Nunes says he will not share his intelligence sources with other members of intelligence committee

leaks are only bad when it looks bad for Republicans

 

[NullPointer]

Reuters:


leaks are only bad when it looks bad for Republicans

So he won't show his sources. Has he said he'd be sharing this supposedly super important intel anytime soon?

This dude the week before was saying how we need to find out who's leaking and prosecute with full extent of the law lololol

 

[smokeymicpot]

It is probably just gossip on the Trump team.

[plagiarize]

The spin will be that leaking isn't bad, it's unmasking that's bad.

 

[Ac30]

Reuters:

Has he even shared the intelligence yet? Him not sharing sources isn't that odd if they're trying to avoid being identified (but coming from him it's obviously incredibly suspicious), but him not sharing the intelligence should be illegal.

 

[theWB27]

Wonder if Schiff is thinking and or could he break rank on this.

 

[Fenderputty]

Nunes got "multiple sauces" lol

Can somone blend Chris Broussard and Devin Nunes faces into one image and recreate the meme

I can't wait for Yates or Comey to drop a bombshell on this case. The meltdown from Nunes will be Oscar worthy.

"Ryan's not firing me so uhh umm fuck all you guys, fuck you! The committee is closed until further notice! You can't criticize me if I don't meet with you!"

Totally a winning strategy that he can keep up for the next two years..

I wonder how many obstructionist Republicans are on the Kompromat payroll

Then Nunes will close the investigation and blame it on Comey's lack of cooperation.

It will be straight out of Ace Attorney, and I need it to be live streamed.

I mean, he can try. Seems to be communicating well with the Senate
