Paul Ryan And Devin Nunes Facing Obstruction Indictment...
Paul Ryan And Devin Nunes Facing Obstruction Indictment For Using House Intel Committee To Undercut Mueller: Report
by Lance Perriman
Jan 6, 2018
House Speaker Paul Ryan and Congressman Devin Nunes (R-CA) could be indicted for obstruction of justice for using the House Intelligence Committee to derail special counsel Robert Mueller, a panel of experts on MSNBC’s AM Joy predicted Saturday.
Host Joy Reid started off the conversation by asking: “How is it that he now gets access to all of these documents with which he can pursue his investigation of Fusion GPS?”
“Trump opens up the door for corruption, so it becomes more normalized, even though this is not normal,” Scott Dworkin of the Democratic Coalition suggested. “It’s tough to believe that somebody like Speaker Ryan, who I used to have respect for, would step out and defend Nunes when he came out and publicly said Nunes said he would recusing himself, and now it turns out he’s a liar and now he should go to prison for it, that’s how I feel about Speaker Ryan.”
Ryan (R-WI) sided with Rep. Nunes during a Friday meeting with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI head Christopher Wray, CNN reported.
“To see somebody like Paul Ryan step out and go against our justice system and side with a traitor like Devin Nunes, it’s unbelievable at this point,” Dworkin continued.
“How is it possible that somebody like Devin Nunes is allowed to see whatever intelligence he wants, whatever backup information he wants, and use that to persecute a former British spy who is on our side?” Reid asked.
“If he were to use that intelligence — any information — to carry out a witch hunt or to carry out any type of investigation with the specific intent to block or obstruct justice in the Mueller investigation, that could expose Devin Nunes to obstruction of justice charges himself,” explained intelligence expert Malcolm Nance.
“He could be a key indicted or unindicted co-conspirator if it turns out that he is he’s using his position…to thwart a national counterintelligence investigation and to stop the Justice Department from doing their job,” Nance predicted.
