The opposition research firm responsible for the Russian dossier refuses to comply with subpoena from Devin Nunes.

Courtesy of Business Insider:  

The founders of the opposition-research firm that produced the dossier alleging ties between President Donald Trump's campaign team and Russia will invoke constitutional privileges and decline to testify before the House Intelligence Committee, their attorney wrote in a letter obtained by Business Insider on Monday. 

"We cannot in good conscience do anything but advise our clients to stand on their constitutional privileges, the attorney work product doctrine and contractual obligations," Fusion GPS' counsel Josh Levy wrote in response to subpoenas issued earlier this month by the committee's chairman, Rep. Devin Nunes. 

Levy argued that complying with the subpoenas would violate "the First Amendment rights" of the founders — Glenn Simpson, Thomas Catan, and Peter Fritsch — "and would chill any American running for office ... from conducting confidential opposition research in an election." 

"Should you compel any of our three clients to appear at the scheduled deposition, they will invoke their constitutional privileges not to testify," Levy wrote. "Since that will be the case, we ask that the Committee excuse them from appearing."

Good call on the part of Fusion GPS.

Devin Nunes is NOT interested in finding the truth.

Devin Nunes is only interested in hiding the truth.

Unfortunately for him Fusion GPS has already talked to the legitimate investigators and they will continue the investigation despite interference from this asshole.

    OT? 'T'ired elf"“I don’t have to sit here and listen to (this),” Sessions said, “without having a chance to respond. Give me a break.”"“I felt a need to respond and I responded on the spot,” Sessions said. “It’s been six hours in the hearing. It’s at the end of the day, and I said I’m not aware of those activities — and I wasn’t and am not. I don’t believe they occurred.”

    At this point I believe Devin Nunes only purpose is to serve as Trump's spy....the reason he is issuing all these subpoenas (including FBI) is to find out what is going on with the investigation and with the dossier creation so it can be reported to the orange julius
