Нунеса на мыло

[tijd]

Комиссия по разведке Палаты представителей Конгресса отменила все свои заседания на этой неделе.

The House Intelligence Committee has scrapped all meetings this week amid growing partisan rancor now threatening to derail its investigation into Russia and the Trump campaign. The full committee meetings were canceled amid an increasingly tense back-and-forth that intensified over Chairman Devin Nunes' decision to cancel a public hearing set for Tuesday, two sources on the committee told CNN.

Руководство демократического меньшинства в Конгрессе, а также демократы в комисссии требуют отставки Нунеса.

Eric Swalwell используют жёсткие слова:

“Russia attacked our democracy this last election. Our constituents are counting on us to find out how they did it, whether any U.S. persons assisted them, and how to make sure it never happens again. That requires an impartial pursuit of the truth. So far, too many people in the White House and Administration, and now, the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, have betrayed their duty to conduct an independent, bipartisan inquiry into the Trump team’s ties with Russia.
“Chairman Nunes should no longer be anywhere near this investigation, let alone leading it. For the sake of our duty to independently find the truth, and for the sake of his ability to chair the committee in its other important duties, he should recuse himself from our committee's Russia investigation.”

Выступая в некогда любимой Трампом передаче "Morning Joe", он добавил: “And this is what a cover-up to a crime looks like. We are watching it play out right now.”

Политически республиканцы загнаны в развилку. Либо им нужно уступить требованиям (отстранить Нунеса, создать независимую комиссию) либо упорствовать и терять поддержку независимых избирателей. Посмотрим, что они выберут.
