Question to the lawyers here

What options does the House have concerning nunes? Can the House vote on a rule to shut off his microphone? The rethugs determine who is on their committees BUT surly he should be RECUSED!

Hope they expedite but it is an evenly divided committee between dems and reps

The reps play a petty game, they don’t see things as fair and lawful. The senate can push back without reason other than tit for tat. The house has to choose positions against unreasonable foes so I imagine they'd need to be careful with censure and censor.

Just my opinion. I'm no lawyer.
