My new official response to anything involving the GOP.

House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes said Thursday he’d temporarily step away from the committee’s Russia probe as he deals with an investigation from the House Ethics Committee about whether he made unauthorized disclosures of classified information.
“Several leftwing activist groups have filed accusations against me with the Office of Congressional Ethics,” he said. “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 Conway, with assistance from Representatives Trey Gowdy and Tom Rooney, temporarily take charge of the Committee’s Russia investigation.”
The House Ethics Committee weighed in immediately following Nunes’ announcement and said it was aware of the accusations. The committee said it was investigating “certain allegations of unauthorized disclosures of classified information,” according to a statement posted by multiple media outlets.

I’m tired of losing.
Why in the hell don’t some Republican groups complain against SEVERAL dems and demand ethics investigations?
Seriously - the GOP needs to at least fight back!!!
We eat our own. We eat ourselves.
Isn’t odd how leftists are only interested with ethics when it’s other people they can apply them to. Standards are only used to destroy with them, never used to improve.
Mother ####er!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHEN DOES A DEM EVER “STEP ASIDE”????
CALLING OUT SYRIA ON A BULL#### CHEMICAL WEAPONS STORY, OUR AG AND NOW THIS GUY STEPPING ASIDE BASED ON NOTHING.
Again, we DID WIN, right?
My new official response to anything involving the GOP.
Gowdy to take over as chairman of the committee - be careful what you wish for, ‘rats.......
I have to repeat everything you said, I’m beginning to wonder what the heck is going on...so the dems circle the wagons, and the pubbies ‘eat their own’...wow, I don’t know if we won or not...
There is one thing to be happy about.
Hillary Clinton isn’t president.
At least, not today.
Beyond that... nada.
For all you “Friday Night Lights” fans Conaway was the quarterback for the first Odessa Permian team that won State.
He’s been a “W” lapdog since.
Senate ethics? An oxymoron on a par with “paper china” or “plastic silverware”.
Gowdy to take over as chairman of the committee
I’d love to know what happens to new representatives and senators when they first step off the bus in DC. Is there a closed-door meeting where they’re all told that they will be paid extravagantly if they just tow the line? Maybe they’re shown all of the dirt on their Internet browsing habits for the last 20 years and told to play the game or it’ll be released to the public?
Something happens when these people go to DC. Something bad.
Oh yeah, mhmm, the rats better be careful.
Let’s count Trey Gowdy’s actual successes and victories.
I’m going to start at zero and then move on to the first one that comes to mind.
Zero.
“...the GOP needs to at least fight back...”
Knowing the character of scu&bag Progressives, one can guess with accuracy what happened behind the scenes.
(Maybe the word su&bag is not adequate to describe the
cancerous presence of Progressives in their revolution mode.)
The words of Thomas Jefferson begin to assert themselves.
IMHO
You’re right there. Hillary isn’t pres. That’s always something to be happy about.
But some of these other things? We won!!
And PLEASE GOD let Trump have said that nonsense about Syria just to shut up the left, W Europe, Israel and the CIA.
ALL FOUR are dying for us to go to war!!
Our men’s lives mean NOTHING to them.
It’s not another “scalp”. Nunes is still there ... just not in front of the cameras until he clears the bogus ethics charge.
Hellary had her FBI files, Rice has her surveillance, the DNC has the msm’s fake news and outright lies and the GOPe has more than its fair share of RINOs working against conservatives. Surely, that has nothing to do with all these people stepping aside, bowing out and resigning.
Gowdy’s a shrewd, tough prosecutor - behind the scenes it’s possible the ‘pubs have got plenty of evidence on illegal surveillance and leaking on Rice and others, and now it’s time to build and advance the case to the public - can’t think of anybody I’d rather see leading sessions on exposing such corruption than Gowdy....
