@ericgarland Ive been calling his office to demand his recusal. 202-225-2523. Option 3 is full voicemail, so use Opt 1 to talk to an aide.

(60,010 posts)so that may be one reason he took such a desperate step.
According to Scott Dworkin of the respected Democratic Coalition Against Trump,
the Nunes winery has a Russian distributor who is close to Vladimir Putin. This means Nunes has the vast majority of his small net worth tied up in a business venture which partially relies on sales in Russia. At the least, Nunes benefits greatly if Trump remains in office long enough to continue repealing Russian sanctions.

(369 posts)Yes, my name is ______, I live in _____, and I am calling to demand that Rep. Nunes step down from the House Intelligence Committee after his outrageous performance today. In his position as chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Nunes SHOULD NOT be meeting at the White House with a president who is under investigation by the intelligence agencies in order to share information with him from that investigation. It is inappropriate if not downright illegal for him to do so. He may have committed a crimenamely obstruction of justice--by exposing information about an ongoing FBI investigation. He should have his intelligence clearance pulled and be thrown off the House Intelligence Committee. Hes also trying to undermine the intelligence community by politicizing this investigation, and he took this action without even consulting with members of his own committee, including his Democratic counterpart, Adam Schiff. What we have here is the chairman of an oversight committee briefing the target of an investigationnamely, the president. Chairman Nunes must resign!
EDIT: However, better to put this in your own words, so it doesn't sound like we're reading from a script.
