Leaker Devin Nunes is in hot water.

. @DevinNunes this “official complaint” filed with OCE on 1/25/2018 Turns out you Patel, Wolf & @RepRooney LEAKED: 🔹name of Fusion’s Bank 🔹depositions of Messrs. Fritsch & Cata 🔹portions of transcripts of confidential interview 🔹facts of Mr. Ohr’s demotion to @FoxNews @WSJ






🔹Mr. Ohr’s demotion 🔹Ms. Ohr’s subcontracting arrangement with Fusion GPS 🔹violated House Rule 23, clause 2. Everything detailed in @Accountable_Org Complaint: WAS. NOT. KNOW. TO. THE. PUBLIC. Mr @SpeakerRyan GET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER. 6 pg complaint
https://campaignforaccountability.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/CfA-Ethics-Complaint-Devin-Nunes-1-25-18.pdf






Which means @DevinNunes Kash Patel, William Wolf, @RepRooney ALL. LEAKED. THE. INFO. which resulted in this insane subpoena. Lord have mercy, Devin you need to hire a decent attorney


Let me repeat NONE of this info used in this @FoxNews was PUBLIC. And only @DevinNunes & his staff had the info 12/07/2017 Fox story👇🏻 🚨”HPSCI staff confirmed to Fox News” 🚨


@DevinNunes it ALSO means you or your staff leaked this info to @thehill again I’m violation of “House & HPSCI” rules. Dude, you’re D O N E...you will die in jail.


And that also means you @DevinNunes or your staff leaked this info because you were the ONLY ones who had it. Gawd, your stupidity knows no bounds


you were NEVER cleared in the March Midnight White House Run OCE Complaint. The OCE couldn’t Investigate because of the classified documents @DevinNunes you are DONE @SpeakerRyan REMOVE NUNES NOW you incompetent & complicit tool-bag 👇🏻Nune March OCE👇🏻


@DevinNunes @SpeakerRyan @RepRooney know: Leaking is prohibited 🔹House Rules 🔹Privacy Act prohibits government employees from disclosing agency records. 🔹Espionage Act punishes officials who disclose sensitive national defense infor to those not authorized to receive it

More distractions.

Nothing will come of this.

It's a big lift to charge a sitting President with obstruction and makes us look pretty stupid on the whole Russian collusion thing if this is all they get.

We are being set up for a fail... most likely, and certainly getting distracted from the one thing we have control over: ELECTING DEMS! All our collective energy should be focused on that versus cheer-leading Mueller and Co.. only.
Waiting for more collusion that sticks or obstruction that sticks is listening to white noise..pure feel good stuff that doesn't solve the problem. Winning elections solves all our problems and compounds the GOP's and President Azzclown's.

We should be focusing on nothing more than electing DEMS! all energy to Electing Dems! We get the numbers we can impeach!
We don't then it's our fault for spending more energy on things we don't control.

If we don't elect more Dems it doesn't matter what Mueller figures out..point of fact it won't change a thing, we will still be in the minority party.

Remove the chess pieces in our way instead of commenting on where they are on the board!

I am in Colorado working at the State level Senator Angela Williams and Rep Dan Pabon.

Contact your local Reps headquarters in whatever state you are in and get involved at the local level and they will direct the energy to your state for the national level.

With the Supreme court not hearing the gerrymandering case in Pennsylvania I suggest we find out who's running and post them on this site and help raise money, contribute time to help retake those seats!

We have the power, we have the voice we just need to execute it and not get caught up in the stuff we can't control in IMHO

It's fairly obvious... however if we can't prove it then doesn't matter. If we run around screaming it and than don't prove it I think optics wise that's pretty bad for us don't you?
If we can't remove him from office or get him charged with something that does or at the very least shut down the right wing GOP Trumpism agenda than what are we doing here?

None of that is happening without DEMs in charge!

Mon Feb 5, 2018, 08:14 PM
Feb 2018

So it's not illegal, but possibly unethical? I doubt this results in anything. The Republicans aren't going to do anything about Trump's boy, Nunes, esp for something unethical, I think. If I'm understanding what that letter is. Heck, they won't even remove him from heading the Intel Committee, despite his unethical behavior so far.

We must save this country while we can.

The GOP is out of control and the memo, all the ethics violations (ironic isn't it how the whine about leaks and then do this) and just the general way Trump supporters are reacting is pushing us into a Facist state IMHO.

Elections do have consequences, my God who would have ever thought this is where we would be.

ya I agree very interesting.

If they control both houses, you can't impeach. Charging a sitting President with obstruction doesn't remove him or counter his initiatives.

So post about stuff we don't control and focusing on electing Dems seems odd to you?


That's good to know

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-07-28/sessions-vows-more-leak-prosecutions-in-wake-of-trump-criticism

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions vowed to ramp up criminal investigations into leaks of sensitive information, his first comments on the issue since a series of tweets from President Donald Trump taunting him for being too weak.

"Some people need to go to jail," Sessions said Thursday in an interview with Tucker Carlson of Fox News. "If we can make cases, they are going to jail."

Sessions said he hasn’t been happy with previous efforts to prosecute and investigate leaks, adding that the Justice Department during his short tenure so far is already increasing that number. He said he plans to hold a press conference next week on the issue.

"The president has every right to ask the Department of Justice to be more aggressive in that, and we intend to," Sessions said.
