На слушаниях, которые должны было состояться сегодня, предполагалось участие Салли Йейтс, бывшего заместителя и и.о. генерального прокурора. Администрация Трампа пыталась помешать ее выступлению и, похоже, надавила на Нунеса, чтобы тот отменил заседание комиссии.
The Trump administration sought to block former acting attorney general Sally Yates from testifying to Congress in the House investigation of links between Russian officials and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, The Washington Post has learned, a position that is likely to further anger Democrats who have accused Republicans of trying to damage the inquiry

We the people demand that Devin Nunes be removed from the House Intelligence Committee. We demand a special prosecutor and an independent investigation! http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/remove-nunes
"House Speaker Paul Ryan today reiterated his solidarity with Rep. Devin Nunes, saying the Intelligence Committee chairman should continue to lead the chamber's Russia investigation.
When asked today whether he thought Nunes, R-Calif., should recuse himself and whether he knows the source of Nunes' information on alleged incidental collection of information from the Trump presidential campaign, Ryan said simply, "No and no.""
Вода в котле продолжает закипать. Неизвестно, дойдет ли до протестов.
У политиков есть пословица “If You Strike at the King, You Have to Kill Him.” Перестать поддерживать Нунеса для Райана означает пойти на открытую конфронтацию с Трампом, которую он не в состоянии выиграть. Из возможных стратегий удержания большинства в 2018 для республиканцев наилучшей пока что остается продолжать цепляться за Трампа.

Nunes and the White House have kicked up a cloud of peripheral issues that have distracted attention from Comey’s testimony and that of Michael Rogers, the director of the National Security Agency; Nunes and the Trump Administration have essentially shut down the investigation.
