At a news conference Thursday, Schiff, a California Democrat, said he has "a lot of unanswered questions" about the process. He raised concerns about why, if the White House did give Nunes the information, it shared the reports with the congressman rather than going directly to the White House.

"Why all the cloak and dagger stuff?" Schiff asked.

The White House repeatedly deflected questions Thursday about whether any Trump administration officials gave Nunes the information. During his daily news briefing, White House press secretary Sean Spicer did not concede if the reporting is correct.

Asked if he would tell reporters if the report was wrong, he said he was "not going to get into it."

The White House invited the chairmen and ranking members of the Senate and House Intelligence Committees to view documents related to the probe, and Schiff said they will do so. Schiff is not sure if those documents are the same ones Nunes saw before making his announcement.

The panels' ranking member insisted that the confusion within the committee will not derail its probe.

"We're not going to get distracted," Schiff said.

1. Do you think he did this because we need to be called to action?

They are going to try and put the kybosh on this.

2. I think he is just trying to keep shining the light on the nefarious stuff that is going down.

3. WH

White House trying to control information and probably plant some disinfo as well.

4. I think he did it because he is pissed

His committee got the offer to see the docs that Nunes saw the same day the NYT reported the names of the people who gave the docs to Nunes. I believe he feels the WH is playing games and he is more then ready, willing and able to checkmate them.

5. Guessing he has multiple motivations that all serve the public well.

6. and as near as I can tell....

none of this has anything to do with Russia....by Nunes' own admission......so there is no reason that this is holding up the hearings.

7. O'Donnell said they really did not want Sally Yates to testify becasue she has a different story

than the WH. So they effectively held that up. But senate intel will do it if house doesn't. It is clear after today that senate is doing their job.
