Dems rip Nunes' plan for private huddle with Barr to discuss criminal allegations

Nunes, one of trump's sneakiest & evil minions is always up to no good....


(Politico) House Democrats are crying foul over a plan by the Intelligence Committee's top Republican, Rep. Devin Nunes, to meet privately with Attorney General William Barr to push the Justice Department to pursue criminal charges against officials involved in the investigation of President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign and Russia.

Nunes’ accusations of misconduct are aimed at a slew of former FBI and Justice Department officials, who he alleges committed crimes in their pursuit of allegations that President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign conspired with Russians to influence the election.
Nunes has in recent days foreshadowed plans to send eight "criminal referrals" — informal requests for the Justice Department to investigate — directly to Barr. He said on Sean Hannity's Fox News show Thursday night that he intends to meet with Barr "when appropriate" to discuss the referrals, and plans to bring fellow GOP intelligence committee member John Ratcliffe, a former U.S. attorney, to the meeting. Nunes said he wouldn't name the targeted officials publicly but would share his recommendations with Barr.

Barr told lawmakers earlier this week that he was anticipating Nunes' information.

1. Apparently he didn't learn from his memo fiasco, remember whenhe tried to pull this bullshit before?

Nor did he apparently learn from Peter Strzok just fucking LAYING WASTE to the Repukes on the Intel Committee when they drug him up like a year ago, trying to pin this same bullshit on the investigators, and he put them in their place in no uncertain terms.

None of this GOP 'let's investigate the investigators' garbage is new, remember?

In fact, they were trying this shit practically all along.

Even when they were in CHARGE of the House? THEY FAILED.

I guess Cow-Boy needs to get his ass wrangled again.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the info that Barr and Mueller are friends. Just doesn't make sense.

Keeping the conspiracy bullshit alive so the talking heads can fill their time slots and cluck their tongues.

Hey, let's not talk about real crimes. Let's talk about bullshit.

Can Adam Schiff declare him in contempt? Can the Dems on the committee vote him off?

6. It's because their plan to keep report from coming out is arguing the 'fruit of the poison tree' ...

Within the next couple weeks, Trump, Barr, Nunes, Turtle, et al ... will begin a coordinated effort to vociferously argue that the Mueller Report was based on a 'corrupt/politicized' process from the beginning, should never have been undertaken, and therefore, should never be released in any form, to anyone.

That's their plan, been saying this since the day after the Barr Report was released.

Nunes doing this ... is just another step in their master plan.

People will have to defend themselves, and so it could result in the exposure of lots of juicy details....

He wants to criminally charge people for doing their frikin' jobs!!!

And since Mitch McTurtle is continually stacking the courts, this possibly could come to fruition.





Fast forward the repigs and tRump having their way...
