Rep. Devin Nunes said Thursday he is under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for allegedly disclosing intelligence without proper authorization as such will step aside from the Russia probe he has overseen.

I am not blaming DJT. He is fine. Nunes shouldn’t have given these IDIOTS in the Democrat party and the media (redundant) more fodder.

I’m sticking.

Schiff was rather deferential to Trump this AM, before the ravenous panel full of Trump haters.

This means he is being maneuvered by certain actions. Maybe the Intel, maybe Bannon, now Nunes temporarily.

When? As soon as everyone who has submitted to blackmail is removed from office.

I doubt Gowdy would have exposed what Nunes did (Rice scandal). This is disturbing.

Statement:

Washington, D.C. — House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes today issued the following statement:

“Several leftwing activist groups have filed accusations against me with the Office of Congressional Ethics. The charges are entirely false and politically motivated, and are being leveled just as the American people are beginning to learn the truth about the improper unmasking of the identities of U.S. citizens and other abuses of power.

Despite the baselessness of the charges, I believe it is in the best interests of the House Intelligence Committee and the Congress for me to have Representative Mike Conaway, with assistance from Representatives Trey Gowdy and Tom Rooney, temporarily take charge of the Committee’s Russia investigation while the House Ethics Committee looks into this matter. I will continue to fulfill all my other responsibilities as Committee Chairman, and I am requesting to speak to the Ethics Committee at the earliest possible opportunity in order to expedite the dismissal of these false claims.”

This is nothing.

There is no evidence on which to base the "Russia probe."

WHY. WTF,there goes the investigation

That is the whole point. Do you really think the deep state is going to let low life Americans make them give up their control over the US?

These people have intel on every dem and republican and have been using it to control Politians and judges. Sorry, it will take more that congress or the courts to win this and that is not going to happen. We are done, our freedoms are gone because there is no one strong enough to win this battle.

Let's say that congress and the senate were strong enough to fight the deep state because there were not years of dirt on them. What kind of position would that put Trump in???? If they can not keep their power through manipulation of the politians and judges then guess who has to go??? Any way you play this Trump is in danger and that danger only goes up if he could get Washington to do something about the deep state and its power.....just ask Kennedy.

Looks like a triple threat on following up: Conaway, Gowdy, and Rooney.

Here's what this does.

Since the Left is saying that the real issue is the Russia/Trump connection and that there is nothing to the Obama "wiretapping" Trump issue, Nunes' temporary withdrawal from the Russia probe shuts up the Left.

But this leaves Nunes chairman of the Obama "wiretapping" investigation with NO calls for recusal.

The Left can't call for his recusal without admitting that there is substance to the "wiretapping" allegations...and, so far, that is something they refuse to admit.

Cleverly played by Nunes and Ryan.

He recused himself ONLY from the Russia probe, not the unmasking investigation.

That is, unless I am reading this incorrectly.

Well Trump needs to turn it around on them. Expose every skeleton in every closet which im sure are much more heinous and disturbing on their side

I swear Trump has the patience of a saint. He has been accused of rape, incest, pedophilia, etc called every name in the book, knows that he and his family has been spied on, probably even watching his wife and daughter undress. I would have gotten homicidal by now
