The bully refused to allow publication of the Democrats' rebuttal to the Republicans' dishonest memo attacking the Mueller investigation.

The Republicans on that committee, headed by Rep. Nunes himself, consult closely with the bully. When they voted to approve release of the Democrats' counter-memo, they surely knew that the bully would block it.

I suppose the Democrats anticipated this too. Now they can say, "We can show that's not true, but the bully forbids us to tell you."

Unfortunately, that won't influence the bully's supporters much. They don't care that the Nunes memo is dishonest, even incoherent; they believe the conclusion anyway.

In effect, the Democrats are helpless against the height of Republican dishonesty and manipulation.
