“The only thing that’s left that we can do is we have to move quickly to hold the attorney general of the United States in contempt and that’s what I’m going to press for this week,” Nunes said.....

Now, for his Russian audience....

"единственное, что осталось, что мы можем сделать, это мы должны двигаться быстро, чтобы держать Генерального прокурора Соединенных Штатов в презрение, и это то, что я собираюсь нажать на этой неделе", Нуньес

Because Jeff Sessions was caught in LIES during his confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee of his connections with Russians, and thus had to recuse himself from all things connected to Russia? Are House Republicans that STUPID? I guess so.

Sessions' confirmation hearings were before the Senate's Judiciary Committee.

Nonetheless, regarding your penultimate sentence, yes, Republicans are that STUPID.

And you pull this shit.

Everyone knows you ran and leaked info to the WH that one time and the FBI pretty much accused you personally of continuing to do so.

Why not pull a Chaffetz and resign? There are plenty of GOP partisan hypocritical assholes to take your place.

Contempt for not going after HRC?

What are they saying they don't like from sessions?

Seriously, I thought I was keeping up, but I really don't know what this means.
