ODonnell - Media missing this: Ryan won't remove Nunes because he's in it as deep as Nunes is.
THis is from last March, but still very timely, and is critical to understanding how deep Ryan is in, and certainly indicates potential collusion and obstruction. Lawrence brought it up three different times because he thought it was so important, and asked why is no one picking up on this? It is critical to understanding Ryan and Nunes and how deep this goes, and why Ryan will not remove Nunes, and I don't know if anyone ever did pick up on it. I copied my post from March 28 below so it's all here:

O'Donnell again tonight showed clip of Ryan saying he "had to brief the speaker first" before going to White House. Asks, "Why are no reporters picking up on Ryan involvement in Nunes scandal? I’ve showed this clip three times of Nunes saying he had to brief the speaker before he did anything else, and yet no one is picking up on it."
"Ryan is at the center of the scandal. The press apparently didn’t hear it when he said it in the WH driveway when he said he first went to Ryan before going to the WH. Everything he did after that would have been at the direction of Ryan. "
"The Nunes scandal is Paul Ryan’s scandal. That is why Ryan won’t remove him. Ryan is in it as deep as Nunes is. If Nunes can lose the chairmanship over it, Ryan can lose the speakership over it. "
I have wondered myself why more aren't picking up on this, even on DU. See this thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028850749
for O'Donnell show video and transcript from Thursday where he raises this question of why no one seems to be picking up on Ryan's involvement and says Nunes is covering up for Ryan; that Nunes fell on his sword for Ryan.
This is very important; it means Ryan is colluding as well as Nunes! Not only colluding, but directing Nunes. Much more in the thread from the Thursday show linked to above, but O'Donnell feels it so important that he brought it up for the third time tonight.
He also had former CIA director on telling why it was critical to Nunes and Ryan to stop Sally Yates testimony
