Senate Intelligence Committee leaders have accused Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee—led by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA)—of leaking private text messages from Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA).

Warner and Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-SC) were “so perturbed by the leak” they demanded a meeting with House Speaker Paul Ryan to discuss the partisan breach of protocol and Nunes’ role as the House Intelligence Committee chair.

2. and he can go to jail for this....

3. This man is a menace! He must go!!!!

Is his reelection guaranteed this time? I know he is from a really red district in Cali but surely even those people can see he is not representing them.

4. Yah right,Nunes is Paul Ryan's Puppet.

We now know that after Mr.Shiff came forward with what happened during the so called Memo debacle.

5. terrible and incorrect headline. the texts weren't meant to discredit the probe. the leak was.

[PatSeg]

14. That happens a lot lately

Obviously some people never took a journalism class. Messing up the headline is pretty unforgivable. This one makes little or no sense at all.

6. Ryan is dirty also, so he wont do jack to Nunes unless he has to.

The one thing we can count on is not ONE of these republicans has a shred of decency, loyalty or patriotism and will throw anybody and everybody under any train if it saves their asses even a little.

9. Not if Ryan doesn't have any power

A few mass resignations from Republicans everywhere will make sure of that.

And we know there will be a few that needs "to take care of the family" when the family doesn't want the jerk around.

7. senate needs to call this jerk in and charge him for whatever a senate committee can...and

see to his expulsion from the house

[Weed Man]

8. Explusion is now in order

followed by charges of treason, with a death sentence to follow.

10. I'm so frustrated at being so helpless over all this.

How is this guy even in office anymore, much less Chair of the Intel committee.

Voting him out isn't enough. He's a criminal and belongs in prison. But he just keeps doing this stuff with no consequences.

[Marcuse]

11. This leak originated with Assange and Hannity. Conspiracy.

13. Nunes pauses to sharpen his shovel

Let's see... He should have resumed his digging by now.

15. I loved the line in this article

“The New York Times, a prominent purveyor of leaks, is highlighting anonymous sources leaking information that accuses Republicans of leaking information,” Langer said. “I’m not sure if this coverage could possibly get more absurd.”

16. I want the names of Nunes' "staff" who do his dirty work...

like drafting that gawd awful "memo" and probably handling the Warner texts exchange with FOX, etc.

Thank goodness, they're not very bright. I wonder if they'll drop a dime on Devin when the time comes. Duh. What was I thinking? Of course, they will.
