Devin Nunes examining ways to speak with Justice John Roberts about FISA abuse
by Diana Stancy Correll | Feb 7, 2018, 9:11 PM

House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., has considered reaching out to U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts because Roberts appoints judges to a covert surveillance court that Nunes believes was misinformed by the FBI to obtain a warrant to spy on a member of the Trump campaign.

“This is something that we have, like I said, we have thought a lot about this,” Nunes told radio host Hugh Hewitt on Wednesday. “And the answer is we don’t know the correct way to proceed because of the separation of powers issue.”

“I’m not aware of any time where a judge has, for lack of a better term, testified before the Congress,” he added.

Nunes was involved with composing a memo that was released last week which outlines alleged surveillance violations by the U.S. government.

Where do you go to get crimes prosecuted when the people who are supposed to do that are the ones committing the crimes?

That is the question, isn't it?  Sounds like Nunes is trying to come up with answers.

Simple:  special counsel reporting to Trump-appointee, the Attorney General.  If the President can't trust his own appointee, he has an obligation to replace him.

Except for the time Samuel Chase pulled a Lois Lerner and read a statement denying wrongdoing at his impeachment trial.
