I don't want impeachment or contempt. I just want the fbi to be transparent and open. I think the Amerian people deserve to know all the facts about the investigation, including all the bad stuff found on trump during this investigation.

Constitutional Question: Can Nunes bring contempt against Wray & Rosy singly by himself?

I wholeheartedly agree with you but Devin Nunes has proven himself incompetent and compromised by this White House. If they agreed to turn it over to the senate judiciary or intelligence committees instead, I'd be fine with it and would think it's necessary to make sure Congress gets its oversight.

It can't lead to removal from office without passing both houses of congress, including a supermajority in the Senate.

Good point. He may file but it's meaningless without Paul Ryan bringing it to the floor.

I agree, they are a peaceful and thriving people in the third galactic quadrant. The Amerian's are our friends and will bring no harm.

Holder was held in contempt of Congress and what did that accomplish? Unless Nunes can send in some police force to physically take the documents, just like Mueller did to Trump's lawyer, then all of this is meaningless. I don't even know who would raid an FBI office.

See that's where you are wrong.

1- Contempt charges can be filed without Ryan.

2- Ryan may try to not bring it to the floor, but which will be worse? It will end him. He is already on shaky ground.

3- If charges are filed, It will also force the hand of the President.

Nothing will happen. Why? Because they'd lose the theater.

Haven't you learned yet Congress isn't the slightest bit interested in actually doing anything useful.

There is no way that Devin Nunes is the end of Paul Ryan. There is no way the House has the votes to even pass contempt charges.

Also, if Trump is going to fire anyone at the DOJ he is going to do it whether or not Nunes gets his docs? What does Trump's hand look like right now. He doesn't even have an attorney representing his personal interests.

Fbi and doj prefer to leak to the media. A little out of context information here, a little out of context information there.

They feel as if they don't have to answer to any elected official.

Obama came to his rescue and claimed executive privilege to make it go away. Bad (or sick) guy!

They have to answer to the AG of the United States and Ultimately to the Supreme Court, who you are correct, are not elected officials

If Nunes, Rosenstein are at an impasse, Trump can declassify those documents any time he'd like. This seems like a pretext.
