Because the White House and Speaker of the House are protecting him.
And if the investigation dies so much the better.

This shit all happened because of a tweet
All this does is draw attention to the investigation itself though. They aren't killing what's happening with the Senate and FBI. They're emboldening their efforts to discover the truth.
Didn't see this discussed anywhere but apparently the WH has invited the congressional committees to the WH to view some intel documents.

MSNBC actually talked about this right after the spicer briefing and the person they went to feels that none of the committee should be going to the white house..
That's all the Dems can do right now, sadly.
Whatever happens from here is moot. No one is going to take the findings from this committee seriously at all. No more credibility no matter what happens.
To help invalidate them.
Who's to say they didn't? Nunes' claim about going to the WH to "inform" Trump could be complete BS. He very well may have been there so they could discuss strategy.
The are going to point quietly to the actual bugging equipment under the desk that Obama left in the Oval Office
Something thats been glanced over that's pretty interesting is that a reporter on a panel with Cooper last night was pretty much explicitly saying that alot of the IC believes that Trump and Co are running a massive cover-up right now and have been blocking them at different points throughout this investigation.
I doubt they can pull the wool over many people's eyes.
Maybe the WH is about to actually follow through with something. Nunes has been saying he's been waiting on reports from the IC.
Just tuned in, did he say anything important yet?
It seems to be about the WH invitation.
I'm gonna be laughing at this from now on.

Basically he's saying they will not be distracted and that they will investigate all the Russian links despite the WH and nunes fuckery.

Yea, that doesn't sound like a setup or anything...
That the problem is Nunes essentially lol.
That he needs Nunes to sign some things that he isn't signing to get Yates, Comey, Clapper, Brennan to testify.
It's amazing that Yates can't testify without Nunes saying so. Why can't the dem and republican have equal power?
Googling the name of your boss on top secret NSA databases is just regular business operations.
In the House. He has no control over the senate. Power is supposed to be equal really. Nunes would be 1A and Schiff 1B in a perfect world but the chair outranks the ranking member.

Under the Trump administration it probably is. He probably just orders staffers to search his name on every database they have, he's that paranoid and self absorbed. Why focus on matters of actual national importance when you can spend time shitposting on twitter and wasting resources on investigating lies while you are off golfing every weekend?
No one is denying it at this point. They're actually being careful not to.
I can hear Trump in the background.
Trump: Okay, if all the Republicans can take a seat, and all the Democratic members stand on this nice, yuge "X" on the floor right here...

Wow, so a person who worked for Flynn and someone who used to work for Nunes were the ones that helped give him the information. Also what the hell is this music on MSNBC?

This isn't just insane - this is a live, national emergency.
I'm not even joking when I say that the security apparatus of this country has to act now, today, to stop further damage.
I don't know what they're able to do but they need to at least make it clear to rank and file underlings that they are playing with proper jail fire.

Nunes response.

While they were illegally looking for dirt on Obama, they accidentally found unrelated dirt from years ago pertaining to a different investigation that they are trying to spin as dirt on Obama.
Got it.
wait what? which tweet?
The tweet that accused our former president of wiretapping probably.
Would it have been illegal for them?

It's worth reading this subthread on Reddit about how this is plainly obstruction of justice by anyone (like, oh, say, Trump himself) who told Cohen-Watnick to give the intel to Nunes. And Trump is directly linked to Cohen-Watnick, keeping him despite ousting Flynn, and I'm sure it was for *reasons*.

Basically, he's asking the WH to tell how they "discovered" the documents so they can properly answer the questions that the WH put forward in their invitation. Basically, spill the source. Also he's asking them to confirm if this was what Nunes saw that faithful night on the WH grounds. Masterful.

This series:
Which led to everyone in the intelligence community saying that didn't happen. Which led to WH looking for intel to validate the statement and save face for Trump's idiocy. Which led to Trump's interview with Tucker Carlson saying interesting things will come to light in the next 2 weeks. Which led to the WH leaking intel to Nunes. Which led to Nunes being a dumbass about the whole situation. Which led to today.

The annoying part is that this is rubbing off on every single Trump supporter too. You can't defend the actions of this administration in any other way.

Not sure if it was mentioned here yet but Louise Mensch wrote about who the source was days ago.
