This is getting interesting. Representative Nunes, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, had recused himself from the Russia collusion investigation but seems to think he has extra powers to ask for info.

Firm behind Trump dossier rejects subpoena

The US political research firm that commissioned a dossier on Donald Trump while he was running for president says it would not comply with subpoenas issued by the US House of Representatives intelligence committee.

Lawyers for Fusion GPS, which hired former British spy Christopher Steele to produce the Trump research, told the committee's Republican chairman, US Representative Devin Nunes, in a letter that the subpoenas were flawed and that nothing in the subpoenas indicated the intelligence committee had authorised him to issue them.

The lawyers also questioned Nunes' role in signing the subpoenas since he had recused himself from the committee's investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential campaign.

"This act is another example of how you, as chair, have run your own operation in parallel to the committee's investigation," they said on Monday.

The lawyers noted the subpoenas, which have not been made public, ordered the Central Intelligence Agency to produce documents but pointed out that the Fusion GPS firm and its representatives who received subpoenas have no relationship with the CIA.

According to a related article at Business Insider, Fusion GPS has been cooperating with the Senate Intelligence Committee since July
 
Gee! I wonder why they aren't willing to answer the subpoena. Afraid of getting exposed, perhaps?
 
Nunes is such a Trump stooge. How did that Obama wiretapping work out, oh ya, a little less integrity for Trump. He is now at zero.

Perhaps you didn't take a few seconds to read my entire post because you obviously didn't read the following sentence, in bigger letters this time:

The possibility that Fusion GPS os full of doo-doo, or they did something illegal exists.

They are already cooperating with the House Intelligence Committee. Nunes bypassed the Committee to issue this subpoena, it has no authority.

Obviously they aren't being 100% cooperative.
 
Congress cant do much easier parts of their job anymore and Mueller has got this....everyone should refuse their calls.

This is a bunch of **** from FusionGPS, and a dodge...They are hiding something...According to CNN:

"A source familiar with the matter told CNN that all Russia-related subpoenas have been approved by Conaway, and Conaway confirmed to CNN Monday he asked for the most recent subpoenas."

Why should Fusion GPS cooperate with a clown who has already been caught lying about the investigation AND who has been issuing subpoenas without the approval of the House Committee? The company is cooperating with the Senate Intelligence Committee. You do know that it is also controlled by the GOP, don't you?

How was Nunes caught lying?

Nunes is still committee chairman.

Maybe. Even if not the pee tape, I'm sure there's other things there that aren't too complimentary toward Trump. You want that coming out?

Let the chips fall, but this supposed dossier has been discredited, and like it or not Nunes is the Chairman of the House intel committee, He has the authority to issue subpoena's and as CNN reported these subpoena's were requested by the republican now heading the investigation.
