The Department of Justice is probing a former Senate Intelligence Committee staffer alleged to have improperly disclosed classified information, CNN reported Thursday, but details are scarce.

The outlet reported that the Senate passed a resolution Wednesday authorizing the committee to share documents with the DOJ regarding alleged unauthorized disclosures by a “former employee of the Committee.”

“I think the United States Senate responds to requests from the Department of Justice when they’re made — they’re not frequently made,” committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-NC) told CNN.

    Great. Now where’s the investigation into Devin Nunes and his unauthorized disclosures?

    There better not be one rule for unauthorized disclosures by Democrats and another for unauthorized disclosures by Republicans.

  3. With any luck (and lots of hard work), Nunes will be “former” soon.

  4. That’s a long way to go here in California before we unseat Nunes, but there are some good signs from this week’s primary. It will require a lot of hard work to make that a reality.

  5. Um, yeah, about that…maybe you didn’t get the memo? :joy:
