Wrong again. Nunes has noting to do with the investigation, just to accommodate folks like you who easily get their little panties in a bunch.

You're still defending Trump after last week, Mike?

Freaking hilarious.

A few other things come to mind. He doesn't seem ignorant, though, like the vast majority of Trump supporters are, so I'm still struggling to figure out what's got ahold of him. Is it Rush, Hannity, or one of the other propagandists? They are very good at their evil deeds, but a balanced diet of real news quickly shows them for what they are. They sure know how to make themselves a fortune off of fools, don't they?

GWB and the nations police forces have pretty much done away with the 4th amendment.

I believe it's now proper for government authorities and even businesses to seize pretty much anything they want these days.

I know he recused himself after he helped Trump try to sidetrack the investigation with his midnight ride. He is still chair of the committee though.

Having an obvious arrogant ignoramus as our representative is humiliating, the people around him are generally not excepted, including this moron.

Here's today second bombshell (the first being Flynn pleaded the 5th for his business records):

President Trump asked two of the nation’s top intelligence officials in March to help him push back against an FBI investigation into possible coordination between his campaign and the Russian government, according to current and former officials.

Trump made separate appeals to the director of national intelligence, Daniel Coats, and to Adm. Michael S. Rogers, the director of the National Security Agency, urging them to publicly deny the existence of any evidence of collusion during the 2016 election.

Coats and Rogers refused to comply with the requests, which they both deemed to be inappropriate, according to two current and two former officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private communications with the president.

Reminds me of Nixon when he tried to get the CIA to tell the FBI to back off on Watergate.

That centipede is dropping shoes by the truckload these days.

1. He likes to fight.
2. Stopping would sort of be admitting he's been full of shit all along. Can't do that.
