How many excuses will you make when people start going to jail. The FBI doesn't investigate for no reason. You must really think this is some "Lib" conspiracy head up by the Republican FBI director.
"now nominally under the president’s control are stonewalling efforts to get to the bottom of who revealed names and leaked protected information to the press."
NOW would mean the President in control is President Trump.
You should tell that to all of your dem buddies who, when they are in control seem to be on TV EVERY DAY.
Even NOW many of these minority dem leaders are on TV all the time.
I think I have seen Shiff MORE then Nunes.
I'd bet you NEVER conveyed this sentiment of ylour when the DEMS were in con trol.
Oh, the HYPOCRISY!
I worked at the senate many years ago and we had seminar telling us the "ropes" of what to do and not do, etc.
Te FIRST thing they told us was "If there is a TV camera in the Senate Office building do NOT get in Chuck Shumer's way".
That wasn't Nunes holding a press conference on nothing?
If you truly worked in the senate then you should undertand that Nunes was undermining his own committee, actually plain common sense should tell you that his actions were inappropriate.
Yes both Schiff and Nunes appeared on television but Schiff didn't go out on his own and hold a media event on some new discovery.

None of it is classified. All can be obtained with a FOIA request.
It was not unethical to go tell the sitting president, there is evidence of espionage, after the election.
He is the President. There is no separation of powers to hide espionage from the President of the USA, when it involved him as the one spied on.
Who does the head of intelligence committees report to?

You cannot get classified wire taps from a FOIA.
Yes it is unethical for a committee head investigating Russian connections which may lead to Trumps staff to inform him, that is not an independent investigation. The head of the committee is supposed to develop a final report with their findings, they are not there to provide weekly updates to the president or the media.
Do you think it would be ethical for Comey to be giving updates to Trump, did you notice he rarely appears before the camera other than the one time he came before the committee.
Would you be alright with the chair of the Watergate Commission giving the president updates?

If the Obama administration had the audacity to spy on, unmask and disseminate Trump and his campaign staff, then something tells me this is not and isolated occurrence. I wonder who else they did this to.
Wonder no more:
Quote:
The U.S. government’s foreign surveillance sweeps up American lawmakers and their staffers so routinely now that Congress is alerted as often as once a month that its employees involved in intercepted conversations have been unmasked and their identities shared with intelligence or law enforcement agencies, Circa has learned.
Often though, the affected lawmakers or congressional aides aren’t told about the unmasking, unless it involves a security or hacking threat. So some affected lawmakers may not know about their appearance in unredacted executive branch intelligence reports, according to intelligence community sources, who spoke only on condition of anonymity.
The notifications are just one of many growing signs that what once was considered a rare event inside the intelligence community -- the unmasking of a conversation involving Americans captured overseas by the National Security Agency or the FBI under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act -- is now becoming more widespread after President Obama lowered the thresholds and privacy protections for such sharing starting in 2011.
