Well, speaking of “bombshells”…
- HOUSE INTEL CHAIRMAN NUNES TO STEP DOWN FROM RUSSIA PROBE
- RYAN SAYS NUNES CONTINUES TO HAVE HIS TRUST
Nunes 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.

Nunes claiming he's stepping aside because of "left-wing groups" is laughable.

Nunes recusal is tacit admission I was right when I wrote this in @ForeignPolicy: https://t.co/T8L28orTH8 pic.twitter.com/vIBuZAEAuX

Not only is @DevinNunes stepping aside from leading Russia probe, he is now being investigated by the Ethics Cmte.https://t.co/X6OgYTywF7

Consider this: Bannon was directly responsible for Nunes’ stupidity. Nunes got his “info” from Ezra Cohen-Watnick, one of Bannon’s lackeys. I’ll bet ten shares of XOM that Bannon instructed Ezra Cohen-Watnick. Bannon said “jump”, and Nunes said “how high?”. Now Bannon is [maybe] losing power, and Nunes is being investigated for ethics.
Priceless!
You are right on the $$$ my friend.
