Del Haven - Congressmen Devin Nunes and Paul Ryan are now selling the cover story that left-wing groups filed false and politically motivated ethics complaints and that Nunes has now stepped aside from the Trump/Russia probe "in the best interests" of allowing a non-partisan investigation to proceed. What neither said was that Nunes is now under an official ethics investigation, that government intelligence agencies were reluctant to release sensitive and classified information that Nunes might again compromise with Trump, and that Nunes was a lightning rod for Republicans at upcoming town halls.
Moderator's Note:
An Associated Press article April 7 states, "The Republican chairman is stepping aside from leading a congressional investigation of Russian interference in last year's U.S. presidential election, citing ethics complaints that he mishandled classified information. The decision by Rep. Devin Nunes of California comes amid partisan turmoil on the House intelligence committee. Democrats have alleged that Nunes, who was on President Donald Trump's transition team, is too close to the White House and cannot lead an impartial inquiry. In an extraordinary step, the usually-quiet House Ethics Committee said that it is investigating whether Nunes improperly disclosed classified information. ... Nunes blamed "left-wing activist groups" for filing accusations against him with the Office of Congressional Ethics.
