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.

  1. 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!
