regarding why he held back the whistle-blower report from Congress.

Basically he was there to run interference but got caught.

Nunes is a Dairy Farmer.

The IG is already red faced, contradicting himself.

what trouble would HE have been in if he HAD turned over the complaint?

Or do these complaints automatically waive all privileges and automatically must all go to Congress? I'm ignorant of the laws/rules on this.

and "executive privilege" is bullshit. The point of the law was to allow people to report Executive Branch wrong-doing to Congress without fear of punishment and once the IG determined it as "credible" and he considered it "credible" then it should have been sent to Congress post haste. NOT adding more shit about "executive privilege" to stonewall sending it.

but I don't think that would be necessary anyway, the Intelligence Committee members are doing a really good job of questioning him themselves.
