@RepAdamSchiff
After much consideration I believe Chairman should recuse himself from involvement in investigation/oversight of Trump campaign & transition


They are scared

Democrats are just the fricking worst.

If the Intel Nunes has isn't relative to the Russia probe then it's none of schiff's fricking business.

How hard is that to understand?

Lol, Nunes is the one who's scared.

And the funniest part is that he has been a tireless defender and promoter of the same incidental collection rules that he's now bitching about. He's desperately trying to spin it like there's something shady going on, but he and many other GOP reps have been defending incidental collection for years now.

They have. Even caught and they know it. Mines made a spectacle out of telling the info to Trump in order to stay alive, he is scared of the deep state and he should be, there is evil going on in Washington right now.

It should be at least 20 years before liberal is taken seriously again in regards to people recusing themselves in cases where they might have bias. I mean seriously did these people have any introspection at all?

It's not the collection, it's the unmasking of us citizens and spreading illegal surveillance across agencies.

Elena Kagan helped to develop the legal defense of Obamacare prior to her SC nomination, then sat on the court and offered a ruling on it.

Not a single democrat asked for her to recuse. How times have changed.

There was no illegal surveillance and the FBI has plenty of room within the law not to mask the identities of American citizens. The requirements regarding the masking of citizens are very weak, and that's by design and supported by the GOP. When liberals and even a few conservatives suggested requiring a warrant for the FBI to search these databases for information about American citizens that had been incidentally collected, Nunes specifically opposed it. Nunes and the GOP made this bed, they made sure it was all perfectly legal, and now they are bitching about having to lie in it.

She doesn't personally benefit from Obamacare, and there has been no evidence of unethical behavior on her part. It's a simple distinction. If Obamacare were overturned, it's not like she'd have lost her seat on the court. She had nothing to gain and nothing to lose and there was no reason to question her integrity.

Nunes, as part of Trump's transition team, is potentially a target of this investigation. And regardless of that, him rushing to brief the central target of the investigation about its progress is clearly unethical.

So Nunes, a former trump surrogate, is going to lead a congressional investigation on the president he campaigned for over a year and a half with?
How does that sound alright? Republicans are hypocrits but this is a new level of hypocrits.

Except there was no illegal unmasking and the only people that are "protected" by his decision to brief the president are the president and the members of his campaign and transition teams that are the targets or potential targets (including Nunes himself) of this investigation...

you dumbshit.

When Obama is handcuffed things will get more real for you.
