"So, the FBI’s hands would be tied in terms of how they can respond.”

FBI should be able to respond forcefully without releasing classified information..I don't think they would release classified info..unlike the traitors in congress..something about congress immune from prosecution for releasing classified info?? - Say WHAT?????

Eichenwald: Probability Nunes will go to jail for obstruction just increased by about 40%

- Kurt Eichenwald @kurteichenwald
The probability @DevinNunes will ultimately go to jail for obstruction has just increased by about 40% given that he won't deny he had his staff work with the White House on the "attack the FBI" memo that Trump's FBI says is packed with lies. No more congressional immunity, dude.

- ...to explain: Members of Congress have assorted immunities in doing their jobs. (Doesn't include felonies.) BUT, once you cross the line and start working with another branch of government on non-legislative issues to block a criminal investigation, immunity is dead.
- ...the bottom line, @DevinNunes: You need to stop thinking you can do whatever you want to subvert Mueller and consult a good criminal lawyer - not some partisan hack. Somebody who knows the law needs to explain to you the peril you have created for yourself.
