 Sorry, Democrats, The Obama Spying Scandal Isn’t Going Away
Devin Nunes stepped away from the Russia probe. But he's still investigating the Obama administration's leak campaign against the Trump administration.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes on Thursday stepped aside from the probe of Russian actions during the 2016 campaign, saying he needed to deal with a congressional ethics inquiry into claims he improperly disclosed classified information.

Democrats rejoiced at the news. “The White House made a fool of Chairman Nunes, and he has deeply tarnished his credibility as Chairman and the credibility of his Republican colleagues,” declared Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi. There is no question that this was a blow for the chairman, following his revelation that Obama administration officials had collected information of Trump transition members incidentally, unmasked it, and widely disseminated it. But the victory for Nunes’ critics could be pyrrhic.

As the rush is on to discover who leaked Rep. Devin Nunes information about possible surveillance of President Trump’s transition team, House Speaker Paul Ryan is providing some cover for the House Intelligence Chair, saying that he or she was a “whistle blower-type person.”

“He had told me that a whistle blower-type person had given him some information that was new that spoke to the last administration and part of this investigation,” Ryan said on “CBS This Morning” Thursday.While noting the cynical use

Nevertheless,

The bell cannot be unrung and there is good reason to think it will ring again. There is more than one patriotic professional in the intel organs who has some integrity. And we have an AG who will find them.

Yes, but it's the same old cynical game of "if we can discredit the messenger we can throw doubt on the message."
