Today, Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi sent a letter to Speaker Paul Ryan demanding the removal of House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes after it was revealed that he altered the contents of a reckless, partisan memo released to the White House after it had already been voted on by the Committee and presented to House Members.  Chairman Nunes’ action is a violation of House rules and is part of a partisan pattern to discredit the investigations into the Trump-Russia scandal.  Both the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation have warned against the release of Nunes’ memo, stating grave concerns about the accuracy of the memo and its misrepresentation of classified information.  

Leader Pelosi.  Thank you, Madam Vice Chair.  I thank the Chairman [and] Vice Chair for calling a Caucus meeting.  Who can soar with the eagles in the morning after hooting with the owls last night for a late night? And I commend all of you for doing both as well.

President Trump claim: “We have ended the war on American Energy — and we have ended the war on clean coal…In Detroit, I halted Government mandates that crippled America’s autoworkers — so we can get the Motor City revving its engines once again. Many car companies are now building and expanding plants in the United States — something we have not seen for decades…  Soon, plants will be opening up all over the country.  This is all news Americans are unaccustomed to hearing — for many years, companies and jobs were only leaving us.  But now they are coming back.” [State of the Union, 1/30/18]
