I didn't see anything in Judical Watches archives on Nunes but now they want the Ethics Committee to investigate Schiff & Speier, where have they been. I thought they were supposed to be an independent investigative organization.

Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today sent a hand-delivered letter to the chairman and co-chairman of the House Office of Congressional Ethics calling for an investigation into whether Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Jackie Speier (D-CA) “disclosed classified information to the public in violation of House ethics rules.”
Citing the ethics complaints filed against House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) charging that he “may have made unauthorized disclosures of classified information, in violation of House Rules, regulations, or other standards of conduct,” Judicial Watch wrote:

Why should they recuse themselves, why didn't Judicial Watch recommend an ethics investigation of Nunes last month.

Judicial Watch is an ultra right wing organization, they're not legitimate and Schiff has absolutely no reason to recuse. These people are idiots.

The Scaife Foundations consist of a trio of foundations that had been directed by the late billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife, whose wealth was inherited from the Mellon industrial, oil, aluminum and banking fortune.[1] The Scaife Foundations have provided millions of dollars in funding to right-wing organizations such as the Heritage Foundation, the American Legislative Exchange Council, the Cato Institute, and anti-immigrant and Islamophobic organizations such as the Center for Immigration Studies and the David Horowitz Freedom Center.[2]

Reflecting on its impact and the future of conservative philanthropy, foundation executive director, James Pierson, wrote that the investment in conservative groups had paid substantial dividends:

"There exists today, in contrast to the 1970s, an impressive network of think tanks, journals and university programs supported by conservative foundations, which are engaged in different ways in promoting the cause of liberty and limited government," he wrote

Anytime under ethic investigation they MUST recuse themselves. That is why Nunes had to. Or he would have been permanently removed from the committee all together, not just for the short period of time.

Judicial Watch portrays themselves as an independent organization watching over the government, I see them used as a source on Fox News frequently. MoveOn doesn't make any attempt to hide that they are left wing.

Schiff and Speier are not under investigation by the ethics committee, the ethics committee decided to investigate Nunes a few weeks after the incident. Why didn't Judicial Watch request an investigation of Nunes.

what has that got to do with anything?

Oh i will answer ...Not a damn thing.



Judicial watch is a tool of the UBER WEALTHY who are trying to subvert the nation. They have sued every Democratic POTUS for the last few decades. They attack honest and ethical people with lies. Often dropping the pretense seeking truth.

Judicial Farce can call for whatever they want, but will anyone listen without an actual case? i doubt it...
