Two political watchdog organizations are asking the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) to investigate whether the actions of Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) violate the House ethics rules.

"We request the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) to conduct a preliminary inquiry into whether Representative Devin Nunes, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, disclosed classified information to the public on March 22, 2017 in violation of the House ethics rules," Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington and Democracy 21 wrote in a letter to OCE dated March 28.

The specific rule mentioned in the letter mandates House members to "not disclose any classified information" unless "authorized by the House of Representatives or in accordance with its Rules."

Nunes announced to the press that he had obtained reports that showed that President Trump's transition team was incidentally surveilled by the intelligence community. He later said the information may have stemmed from a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant, raising questions about whether he had revealed confidential information.

2. CREW has a great track record, nothing frivolous about them.

What we can't trust is the House Republicans doing their Constitutional duty and adhering to their oaths of office.

3. Yup and the GOP would sit on whatever the outcome is

and tell people to "move on, nothing to see here".

4. Russia issue FIRST!.Where are the investigations? Scores of people need to answer questions.

Scores of people need to answer on the record, under oath, questions.

Nunes flops around for the Republican Party to delay, distract and perhaps give criminals time to destroy evidence.

Get someone else to ask questions.
