NEW DEMANDS: Trump shills, Meadows & Jordan, demand unredacted version of Aug memo detailing scope of Mueller probe, escalating their feud with Rosenstein. They also demand Sessions say whether he signed off on Cohen raid. Why? House probe is over.

Trump joins House attacks on DOJ for document release but Rosenstein & top FBI officials suspect that some lawmakers are using their oversight authority to gain intelligence about the investigation so they can share it with the WH. Ya think?!

Nunes threatens Sessions with contempt over Russia materials despite being told by DOJ that providing info on a "specific individual" could pose a national security risk & that release of other info could result in "potential loss of human lives."

!! Top WH officials, with Trump's approval, agreed to back the DOJ's decision to withhold info Nunes has been demanding because it could risk lives by potentially exposing an intel source – a US citizen who provided intelligence to the CIA & FBI.
#Maddow wapo.st/2rv6nzg?tid=ss…

Nunes, in order to funnel more Russia probe info to Trump, sought all documents on a longtime FBI & CIA intel source [which if made public could endanger human lives] THEN denied it: "I never referenced an individual."
The subpoena proves he did.

The DOJ gave in to Nunes' extortion.

This is laughable. Of course Nunes will immediately turn and leak the information – to Trump, a subject of the criminal investigation, of which Nunes is demanding to see classified intel [i.e. evidence].

Paul Ryan backed Nunes:
-After his midnight run to the WH debacle
-During his battle with DOJ & FBI over "The Memo" release
-Now, as Nunes demands DOJ reveal the ID of a longtime FBI & CIA intel source so he can pass more Russia probe info to Trump
#Maddow cnn.it/2rDCIUG

After meeting w/ intel chiefs, Nunes backed off demands that the DOJ give him top-secret info on an intel source who aided Mueller [so he could give it to Trump].
@RepSwalwell: It's like giving the WH keys to the evidence locker.

"Nunes's continued attempts to get access to classified info that could literally get a US source killed, impacts not just the Russia probe, but FBI & CIA's recruitment efforts everywhere. Sources need to know they'll be protected." -@AshaRangappa_ #Maddow

White House to convene GOP lawmakers to review classified info on FBI source. "Not clear which lawmakers will be invited." Nunes, who funnels Russia probe info to Trump, will be.
