Politico is reporting this morning that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-The Kremlin) will step aside from the Committee’s investigation into interactions between the Trump Campaign and the Russian Government.

Nunes decision to step down comes after complaints were filed with the the Office of Government Ethics pertaining to his decision to brief so-called President Trump before his own investigative committee on important intelligence reports. This move had many people questioning his objectivity.

Sadly for fans of objectivity and fairness, leadership of the investigation will be passed to the three amigos of partisan hackery, Mike Conaway, Tom Rooney, and Academy Award™ winner for his role in “The Benghazi Affair”, Trey Gowdy. Said Nunes:

“Despite the baselessness of the charges, I believe it is in the best interests of the House Intelligence Committee and the Congress for me to have Representative Mike Conaway, with assistance from Representatives Trey Gowdy and Tom Rooney, temporarily take charge of the Committee’s Russia investigation while the House Ethics Committee looks into this matter. I will continue to fulfill all my other responsibilities as Committee Chairman, and I am requesting to speak to the Ethics Committee at the earliest possible opportunity in order to expedite the dismissal of these false claims.”

Representative Nunes will continue, without any irony, as Chairman of the House Committee of Intelligence. Teen Beat Sensation and the most popular man in America, Speaker Paul Ryan, expressed his full confidence in Nunes.

“He’s dreamy and was doing exactly what we want,” probably said Ryan to himself before saying to the assembled reporters, “…it is clear that this [ethics] process would be a distraction for the House Intelligence Committee’s investigation into Russian interference in our election.”

True that.
