Two more Republican-led congressional committees will probe the Obama administration’s decision to approve the sale of American uranium production capability to a Russian state-run energy conglomerate, a key GOP lawmaker announced Tuesday.
Rep. Devin Nunes, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said he’d be linking up with the House Oversight panel led by Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.). The Senate Judiciary Committee has already said it would investigate the uranium deal.

Isn't he ONE of the people Paul Ryan said Russia is paying?

Can't wait to have Mueller receiving subpoena to clarify his delivery of uranium to Moscow when he was head of FBI.

There should be an investigation into this.
I think that anyone truly interested in getting to the bottom of all Russian influence would agree.

I'm not opposed to it but Nunez should have no parts in anything. His mishandling of the House Intel committee probe into Russian meddling in the election was epic.
Imo, it'll go nowhere. If the thrust is going to be the circumstances of the Mikerin investigation, it'll ultimately prove fruitless.
If they wanted to go after Clinton for something involving Uranium One, they should be investigating the dispatch of an envoy in Kazakhstan at the request of a Canadian business. That's got the biggest stink of quid pro quo.
Instead, they're going to try to make it about Russia.
Thankfully, asRepublicansTrump supporters have assured us incessantly, Russian meddling/influence isn't a real thing and even it is, we deserve it and also, it's not a big deal.
You can buy a lot of baloney with $140 million. And perhaps access to as much as 20% of US uranium.
Pokemon and facebook or RT, this is a joke given the magnitude of money and media that favored Hillary.
As far as Nunez being involved, I wouldnt mind seeing someone else do the investigation.
But this pales in comparison to Lynch not reccusing herself from the email investigation.
And seeing as how there is a solid chance Mueller will be called on in this investigation involving Russia and possible wrong doing, doesn't this raise questions to you about his ability to be impartial in his investigation?

Every time you say "Pokemon" I roll my eyes because you're being disingenuous in your effort to be dismissive. How much something costs isn't a measure of the seriousness of the threat. In fact, I would argue that the fact that it's so cheap to run a troll farm points to it being a bigger threat as it's not just Russia that can wield this sort of asymmetric information warfare strategy to disproportionate effect.
Put another way, if a nuke cost $5 it would be an even bigger threat.
You don't tweet do you? If you did, you'd recognize @TEN_GOP from the election. I think you're way too quick to dismiss the threat because it's new and it's being done over the Internet. I think that's a serious mistake. Popular social media accounts have a lot of influence with people on those platforms. They drive conversations, they push narratives and they're conduits to propaganda.
I trust in Trey Gowdy's integrity way more than I do Nunez's.
I wouldn't go that far. Nunez was called to a secret meeting at the WH where he was spoon fed the failed "unmasking" narrative which he then used in an attempt to tank the investigation he was supposed to be overseeing.
Isn't that exactly the sort of question launching this probe might be intended to engender? Do you want to see the Mueller investigation derailed?

If there was bribery and kickbacks prior to the sale, and an informant wanted to speak to congress about it but was told not to, yea there should be an investigation.
At the moment it certainly looks like a cover-up so the sale did not get derailed, it should be checked out and verified.
