Pelosi urges Ryan not to let House Russia probe shut down

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi sent a letter Thursday to House Speaker Paul Ryan urging him not to allow the House Russia investigation to be shut down.

Pelosi's letter says Democrats are "deeply concerned by the Majority's efforts to curtail the House Intelligence Committee investigation and its overall failure to address Russia's meddling in the 2016 election."

"Nothing less than America's democracy and national security are at stake, and therefore we must fully investigate Russia's assault on our election systems to prevent future foreign attacks," the California Democrat wrote. "We expect that you will take urgent action to ensure this investigation can continue, and justice can be pursued, unhindered."

Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, warned last week that he was concerned House Republicans might end the committee's Russia investigation at the end of the year, with no witnesses yet scheduled in 2018.

Schumer hired a constitutional lawyer this week. Actually it is the Dem senator Nadler who specializes in constitutional law and he is now on the Judiciary Committee.

2. Ooooh; a strongly worded letter!

She should have told him she knows all about the money and his colleagues took from Russia.

4. Why isn't she in front of the news cameras???

The letter to Ryan is pointless, as I'm certain she is aware of.

She needs to make the case to the American citizens/people, not to partisan hacks.

5. Falling right into the Republican trap...

Giving them the political target they need to keep tearing down the investigation.
