It would seem that Nunes fits the definition of toady.
It would seem that Gowdy knows that, even though he did not explicitly state it.
Chairman Nunes and Ranking Member Schiff have approved the Scope of Investigation for the inquiry by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence into the Russian active measures campaign targeting the 2016 U.S. election.
Say what? Are you saying that the committee has no authority to initiate an investigation?
As head of The House Intel Committee, Nunes had no authority at the time
because there was no official investigation yet, except by the FBI.
That is not what I said.

If you care to look at the timing of events, you
will see your comment is ridiculous.

The DNC hacking took place in June and July 2016, according to Wikipedia.

Right?
The 2016 Democratic National Committee email leak is a collection of Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails stolen by Russian intelligence agency hackers and subsequently published (leaked) by DCLeaks in June and July 2016[1] and by WikiLeaks on July 22, 2016, during the 2016 Democratic National Convention.
The leak includes emails from seven key DNC staff members, and date from January 2015 to May 2016.
On July 25, 2016, the FBI announced that it would investigate the hack.

C'mon now, phage wanted the republicans to launch an investigation into the DNC in the middle of an election year... Would have been great.
But it is what you said. And you have not edited the post in which you said it. Props for that.
No, not what I said
So, did he have the authority? Or not?
No, Nunes did not break the law.
When?
Chairman Nunes and Ranking Member Schiff have approved the Scope of Investigation for the inquiry by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence into the Russian active measures campaign targeting the 2016 U.S. election. While the detailed, six-page scoping document remains classified, the investigation will seek to answer the following questions:
What Russian cyber activity and other active measures were directed against the United States and its allies?
Did the Russian active measures include links between Russia and individuals associated with political campaigns or any other U.S. Persons?
What was the U.S. Government’s response to these Russian active measures and what do we need to do to protect ourselves and our allies in the future?
What possible leaks of classified information took place related to the Intelligence Community Assessment of these matters?
