Staffers for Devin Nunes apparently threatened to hold Rod Rosenstein in Contempt of Congress in a recent meeting. He told them if they did, he would have the right to subpoena their communications and put them on the witness stand to prove them wrong. He's 100% right about that.



Feud erupts between DOJ and Nunes, with Rosenstein now threatening to call for a House investigation into Nunes staffers after DOJ rebuts account of heated, closed-door clash, per @LauraAJarrett

4. Devin's "deer in the headlights" expression is about to magnify x10. nt

[populistdriven]

48. subtle, should it be more?

[oasis]

49. It'll do for now but, a pic of Devin as the judge reads his sentence

Priceless!

[SayItLoud]

22. Gotta believe Numb Nuts Nunes is begging the F'n MORON to fire RR.

[lagomorph777]

44. OUCH! They forget we still have laws and courts in this country.

At least for the moment.

3. Derp.

Time and again, these rightwing idiots really step in it. You couldn't write better comedy.

[Golden Raisin]

32. Actually, I'd say it's more like tragedy.

[C_U_L8R]

33. True. They go hand in hand.

[populistdriven]

50. i am gobsmacked every time i pay the slightest attention to them, see this

5. Hallelujah!!

[Takket]

6. ....i can't even fathom that state of Nunes underwear after that remark lol

[Grammy23]

7. Nunes seems to be about as dumb as a box of rocks but

He recognizes when he needs to keep his yap shut. Wish I had been a fly on the wall to see his goofy face when it dawned on him to dummy up. 👀

[machoneman]

8. Too late for Agriculture-schooled Nunes....

as he's in way too deep and is likely guilty of numerous offenses, #1 being part of a conspiracy to obstruct the investigation of Russiagate! He redefines the old saw about being too stupid to get out of his own way!

[Amaryllis]

17. #1 being PART of the conspiracy which is why he is obstructing the investigation.

[Grammy23]

26. He never thought about the ramifications of getting involved in the whole scheme to begin with.

It is a little late since he has the stink all over him. But it is kind of interesting to see how he squirms and wiggles to get out of it.

[mountain grammy]

9. Nunes' staffers?

future concentration camp guards..

[dixiegrrrrl]

21. Ironically they will have a job. them and lots more, at the rate the camps are being built.

[lagomorph777]

45. Good thing we've kept Gitmo open.

We're going to need a lot of space to hold Nunes and the whole Congressional GOP, and their staffs, and the whole Turd administration.

[Uncle Joe]

10. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread sunonmars

[RestoreAmerica2020]

11. Rod..don't threaten to investigate slimeball nunes' ongoing obstruction, chicanery-do it!

Basta! Enough!

[Manuraju/CNN]

"Feud erupts between DOJ and Nunes, with Rosenstein now threatening to call for a House investigation into Nunes staffers after DOJ rebuts account of heated, closed-door clash, per ..."

[FakeNoose]

12. Do it Devin, just to see if he really means it

[lostnfound]

13. Shocking that Nunes doesn't recognize how outgunned he is, in matters of law. Nt

[oasis]

14. Nunes has been operating under the delusion: "I've got the President's

back, and he's got mine". Rude awakening coming right up.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

15. Poor little Devin Nonuts

[C Moon]

16. Nothing ever happens, though. Do an investigation, and it gets watered down or buried.

[Duppers]

18. K & R 👏👏

Whoop! Hope the nasty asshole gets nailed before this is all over.

How many rethugs have committed treason?!

[meadowlander]

19. Its as if his Associates degree in Agriculture

Didnt adequately prepare him to head the House Intelligence Committee.

[GulfCoast66]

24. Hold on now...

He has a BS and an MS. As an Agriculture major I get tired of people thinking we learn how to milk and plow. I studied plant genetics and in the 80s med students would take our graduate courses because it was cutting edge genetics at the time. My multiple chemistry, physics and math courses were the same any other Science major took. We actually made fun of BA majors for their easy course load. Of course we were young and arrogant.

That said, the chairman of HHS is a brain surgeon who thinks the pyramids were used to store grain.

[Volaris]

28. Proof that deep knowledge isn't is useful in some professions as broad generalization of a lot of

Different fields. If ANY 'career' requires it, it's professional politician for damn sure.

[GulfCoast66]

29. Agreed. Check out the post I just made further down this thread

I make that point.

Have a nice evening.

[whathehell]

36. + 10

:

[Volaris]

25. Lol!

And wow!...they mustve pissed him the fuck OFF, for that to have even been a response hahahahh!

The Mighty Jabba asks WHY he must pay 50 thousand?

Because he's holding a Thermal Detonator...


It's shit like THIS that makes me want to be a Lawyer lol

[NastyRiffraff]

20. Best news I've heard today!

About time this little toad gets his ass owned.

[spanone]

23. republicans think like trump...the DOJ works for them. Criminals.

how is this NOT obstructing Justice?

[GulfCoast66]

27. I just made a post earlier in this thread about being an Ag major

Like Nunes I have a BS in Agriculture. Plant science to be specific. It was a rigorous course load heavy on math, chemistry and genetics. I went to a Land Grant, Flagship University. Getting accepted was competitive but not hard. I think I am pretty sharp and can usually get through most situations on my wit.

That said, I have a friend who is a Harvard Law grad. Ivy League undergrad as well. She can think and talk circles around me. Going up against her in a debate or worse, in a field of law would leave me in a pool of sweat. She is flat out just more intelligent than I am with a more flexible mind.

I think this explains Nunes. He was always able to use his education and intelligence to get by. But he just realized he is out of his league. The men and women at the top of Justice and the FBI are able to flat out think and out strategize him. And they know everything. I expect he will now try to keep out of the limelight and try to just go away.

[Ilsa]

30. It's a different kind of education, I believe.

Beyond critical thinking, which is used by all really difficult disciplines.

[GulfCoast66]

31. I agree

And I have no doubt that the grads from the truly prestigious universities are flat out smarter. I was a good student and got into a good land grant university. But no matter how hard I tried there is no way I had the intellect to get into a truly elite university.

We always like to think that all it takes is hard work. But no work would have allowed me to get a 1400 on the SAT. And smart sometimes wins.

That said, my personal relationships skills Have made my career!

[Ilsa]

34. Well said.

And "EQ" is a kind of smarts you can't learn in a classroom, unless there are special teaching techniques!

[whathehell]

38. Ever heard of a "Gentlemen's C"?

Thats the traditional grade given the Less than Brilliant Children children of the moneyed "Gentlemen" who paid their tuition, and sometimes, for a new wing for the University.

Don't sell yourself short -- Attending an Ivy League school is as oftwn a matter of bucks and connections as it is of brains...Dubya went to Harvard and Trump went to the University of Pennsylvania -- Need I say more?

[GulfCoast66]

40. Hah, my wife will tell you I do not sell myself short!

I think the days of buying your way in are past us. The test score requirements alone are daunting.

I have done well for myself by creating well working and harmonious teams that result in increased productivity. My trick? Treat everyone with respect and kindness and insist that everyone on my teams do the same with termination as the only other option.

It is amazing how many leaders think production increases when they threaten and demean their employees.

[whathehell]

42. I'm glad that you don't..

but I'm not sure the bad old days of money and influence are behind us..
My Harvard grad.professor illuminated us on the mechanations employed by the wealthy to secure their children's entrance into "elite" schools. It was most interesting.

[czarjak]

35. Hey, Rubes...

Who’s your Daddy?

[DFW]

37. Yes, I imagine Nunes and his staffers would be terrified of a subpoena

His staffers because they might be forced to reveal things that would piss off their boss.

Nunes himself because he might be forced to reveal things that would piss off the kind of people who can arrange fatal car accidents.

[laserhaas]

39. Haughtier of tyrants & corrupts knows o boundaries

[BlueJac]

41. K&R

I hope it happens, something must be done soon!

[Honeycombe8]

43. Thank God for the few honorable, ethical people in the administration. Rosenstein turned out to be

among the toughest, despite his nerdy appearance. Don't judge a book by its cover, etc.

[Blue_true]

52. I am pleasantly surprised by him, he is letting facts lead to where they lead. nt

[BlancheSplanchnik]

46. Wish I could have seen Rosenstein's face as he said that!

[Paladin]

47. Suck on THAT, Nunes.

Take him down, Rosenstein.

[Blue_true]

51. My guess. Rosenstein has firm evidence that Nunes is dirty and won't take any more of Nunes' shit.

[Honeycombe8]

53. +1 nt
