Pelosi Calls On Ryan To Remove Nunes As The Chair Of The House Intel Committee

Am I the only one anxiously refreshing Twitter every five minutes to see if the memo has been released yet? Everyone’s saying today is the day. I’m DYING to see it. The more Rep. Schiff pushes back, the MORE I want to see it. What is he trying to hide?

I have questions.

NBC News has reported that President Trump has officially read the memo.

JUST IN: President Trump has read the FISA memo, as delivered to the White House, multiple White House officials tell @NBCNews

I’m not really sure why that’s big news, but thanks NBC?

I suppose that means it’s getting close. It could be any minute now, and Democrats are desperately scrambling. Heck, Pelosi just asked Ryan to remove Nunes as chair of the House Intel Committee.

Her letter reads:

The decision of Chairman Nunes and House Republicans to release a bogus memo has taken the GOP’s cover-up campaign to a new, completely unacceptable extreme.

Both the DOJ and FBI oppose releasing the Nunes memo. As the Department of Justice warned, the public release of the memo would be an “unprecedented action” and “extraordinarily reckless.” The FBI also expressed that the agency has “grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy.”

It has now come to our attention that Congressman Nunes deliberately and materially altered the contents of the memo since it was voted on by the House Republicans. This action is not only dangerous, it is illegitimate, and violates House rules.

From the start, Congressman Nunes has disgraced the House Intelligence Committee. Since pledging to recuse himself from the Trump-Russia investigation, Congressman Nunes has abused his position to launch a highly unethical and dangerous cover-up campaign for the White House.

Congressman Nunes’ deliberately dishonest actions make him unfit to serve as Chairman, and he must be removed immediately from this position.

House Republicans’ pattern of obstruction and cover-up to hide the truth about the Trump-Russia scandal represents a threat to our intelligence and our national security. The GOP has led a partisan effort to distort intelligence and discredit the U.S. law enforcement and intelligence communities.

It is long overdue that you, as Speaker, put an end to this charade and hold Congressman Nunes and all Congressional Republicans accountable to the oath they have taken to support and defend the Constitution, and protect the American people.

The integrity of the House is at stake. We look forward to your immediate action on this subject.

sincerely,

NANCY PELOSI

Democratic Leader

Democrats are in a full blown PANIC.

Notice Pelosi’s already calling it a “bogus” memo. I have to wonder. If it’s so “bogus,” why don’t they want it released? If there’s nothing to it, why do they care? Why does the FBI care? And why should we care what the FBI has to say at this point anyway? It has completely lost credibility with the American people.

I’ve never seen the Dems so panicked. Release EVERYTHING!!! pic.twitter.com/38KhmjD2WI
