This guy is risking jail to stop Mueller. What's he hiding?.@DevinNunes wont deny he had his staff work w/ White House on "attack the FBI" memo. Congrats, dude: U just waived Congressional immunity. To be indicted for conspiracy, u dont need to know what the other hand is doing. This guy is risking jail to stop Mueller. What's he hiding?

(sorry it was 4:30am...I was waiting for the eclipse, so I have no idea where to find it on DU) that showed he was in bed with the Armenian mob along with the Russian mob and the Putin circle. If I understand correctly, he was unmasked in an FBI sting on some Russian mobster.

10. I'm crossing my fingers it's not true.
One year ago, I would have mocked the implication. One year later, I'm crossing my fingers it's not true. What a difference a year makes.
Not because I want Nunes to be innocent, mind you... but because if it true, it's the tip of an awfully ugly, awfully large iceberg that could consume our national identity for the next twenty years. |

36. Seriously, I think we're about as likely to be invaded by aliens.
You do realize Russia is a pissant, underdeveloped, mostly impoverished country with an economy about the size of California's? It makes and sells a lot of weapons, but otherwise it has little industry, and most income is from exporting commodities to more advanced nations for manufacturing by them.
As for "consuming our national identity," that is a product of centuries and a product of our people who live today, and it can't just be destroyed. Real damage is being done to institutions and standards developed over more than 200 years, but our national identity is what will help restore them. The tremendous betrayals today guarantee big societal reactions. Itm, maybe you could look inside yourself for facets of that national identity you value and commit to upholding them? That would be a good personal reaction. |

20. Yeah, I read that.
He has a winery with a Russian, money in Cypress, and some communications deal in the Azores and the Russians wanted to get into that area too. Too many Russian ties. Did he really think no one would question his behavior? He is another moron along with Ryan for telling him to release it. Remember when Rosenstein and Ryan and Nunes had a special meeting a month ago? Russia is blackmailing them both. Ryan took Russian campaign money and he may have been caught in surveillance by the FBI when they were trying to keep track of Russian activity and Ryan was unaware of it and probably is trying to save his own ass now.

In the case of the latter, the privilege is voided by the presence of a third party. Is it then that people in Congress, or their immediate employees, are the only ones covered by this immunity?

30. I decided to not be so lazy as to rely on others to learn me up, so I did some searching.
It "appears" that what I surmised has some legs, although it's not a sure thing. According to former WH ethics counsel Norm Eisen:
"The Congressional Immunity law states that members of the U.S. Congress can not be prosecuted while they are “attending a session of the body to which the member belongs, excluding an arrest for treason, breach of the peace, or a felony.” The law also provides immunity from arrest or interrogation “for any speech or debate entered into during a legislative session.” Neither of those provisions would seem to apply to members working with another branch of government to obstruct justice. |

No? Then I think it is "that different". Believe it or not a congressperson who has been given access to classified sensitive information that can lead to people being killed if it gets out is held to a slightly higher standard that the average Joe Schlub on the street. You also haven't taken an oath to defend the Constitution and you don't have a security clearance.
And so... you would obviously prefer the alternative to indicting the President, which is allowing Russian puppet leaders to dismantle our democratic institutions? That isn't "fantastically horrible for democracy"? |

We constantly invade nations and kill countless people. We have invaded dozens of nations and keep doing it. Our national security apparatus lies to us at every turn. We and Europe have constantly lied about Russia even though Russia also happens to be evil. They suck and we suck too. So a politician lying about Russia to help Trump does not strike me as outside the normal bounds of our political norms. It is just more of the same. Even tho Putin is an evil murderous creep. Was Cheney any better really?
