As the Ethics Committee investigation into Nunes drags on, Rep. Ted Deutch (D., Fla.), the top Democrat tasked with leading the ethics probe, appears to have prejudged the case in the media, prompting further accusations that the Nunes probe is being politicized in order to boost the unsubstantiated Democratic narrative about collusion between Trump and Russia, according to U.S. officials and other sources familiar with the matter....

In an April interview just days before the Ethics Committee began its probe, Deutch offered similar comments blasting Nunes.
"I think it's important that we have full, and fair, and transparent, and open investigation, and it's pretty clear… that we're not gonna get that with Chairman Nunes there," he said. "There've been too many questions that have been raised, and I do think it's really important that in order to do this, we do this in an independent way."
Deutch has further implied that President Donald Trump has committed "impeachable" offenses, adding fuel to claims he is too biased to be a leader in what is supposed to be an independent investigation into Nunes.
"The Ethics Committee is supposed to be a neutral adjudicator, and this looks like a textbook case of prejudgment," the US. official said. "How can Deutch claim to be impartial? Did he inform the rest of the Ethics Committee about these statements before he participated in the case?"...
One veteran congressional adviser who works closely with Congress on the leaks investigation told the Free Beacon the languishing ethics probe is shaping up to be little more than a partisan political ploy.
"This is what happens when Republicans trust Democrats to play fair. Everyone knows Nunes is squeaky clean, and lawmakers involved in intelligence know it most of all," said the source, who could only discuss the sensitive matter on background. "So Democrats promised Republicans they'd do a quick probe, find whatever, and everyone would go back to work. But Democrats don't want Congress to get back to work, and they also like keeping keep Nunes in limbo, and so they're holding everything up."

"...Meanwhile, the Ethics Committee has thus far declined to investigate similar claims that Rep. Adam Schiff (Calif.), the Intelligence Committee's ranking Democrat, wrongly disclosed classified information to the press when he publicly discussed the contents of a reported phone call between former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
The Ethics Committee has ignored the matter, despite public testimony from former acting attorney general Sally Yates, who, when asked about the content of that call by a Senate Committee, stated that she could not answer the question because to do so would disclose classified information...."
