If you're the chairman instead of the peon, then the rules apply to you less, not more.

I think they are more concerned about loyalty to their party, rather than anything to do with Putin.

They believe that the success of their party is important above all other things.

We dont have a double standard, we have an insane level of one side can do something repeatedly, the other cant, and it has been that way for decades.

It is beyond a double standard, in fact it is a constant condition that makes going forward impossible.

If the same ignorant, childish people have power by stealing it, we cant advance.

It was intimated by another committee member, a Democrat, last night on Rachel that there may even be WORSE Republican members on the Committee than Nunes.

The fact that Nunes was a key player on Trump's transition team, though, should be enough to force him to recuse himself in this instance, as he may well be a target of the investigation that he presides over. Can you say conflict of interest?

Should he be on any committee. Decades ago you wouldn't even have to ask. HE NO! Where is the common sense anymore. Many, find an excuse to keep him the same with Manchin.

I hear We could do worse,from what I see we are fucked up now and it is only getting worse. Dems seem to be afraid, we do have fighters in the party but they are all women,nothing wrong with that I am a woman.

I listen to the many of the men in our party like Warner of W.Virginia for example, another republican lite,when he gets the mic,mealy mouth nothings.
