memo response on government surveillance abuses is total political and legal bust. just confirms all the terrible things that were done. so illegal. and then there s this. the dem memo, the fbi did not disclose who the clients were. the clinton campaign and the dnc and the president says wow. your response to the president s reaction to the release of this memo. it s a big surprise. delusional from day one. i guess that s the best way the describe it. let s recall a few other things, devin nunes the chairman of the intel committee did not deny he worked with the white house to coordinate on this memo. it is a the majority memo and it s a memo that the president said completely exonerates him. he releases it with very, very little scrutiny despite the fact that the fbi had grave concerns
no, i would say, i mean, this is a different memo than the first one, it s lengthier. it s well, it s different. and so, not leaning towards it. it will be done in a responsible way. but, again, where the first one was very clean relative to sources and methods, my initial cut is this one is a lot less clean. but at the end of it all, it will be guys like rod rosenstein, chris wray from fbi, certainly the national security attorneys at the white house, giving the president a recommendation on it. so here s my question. before the president even got the memo and read it, he said he wanted to release it. why release the republican memo unredacted and against the urging of the fbi and doj, but not release the democratic memo in the exact same manner? what would the justification be for that? a couple of things. first off with the majority memo that was previously released, there was a change that was made
hypocritical that you would want to release one memo unredacted. beyond politics, beyond republican versus democrat, whatever it is, do you worry we re going down a dangerous road especially with the fbi and with our law enforcement agencies, where we re pushing out information that that our enemies know what s up. they possibly know our sources and methods. couldn t this have been handled in a better way? especially from republicans who are rushing to get this out, when there is no deadline? first off, the majority memo was out weeks before the schiff memo was first introduced. but you re not answering my question. no, i am. there s a few different points no, you re not. your talking about the majority memo, the releasing of the memo that was part of your question. hang on, listen. there was nothing that said this memo has to be written. this memo has to be put out by this deadline. there was nothing it was all artificial. and then it turned out to be a piece of pape
sources and methods, my initial cut is, this one is a lot less clean. but at the end of it all, it will be guys like rod rosenstein, chris wray from fbi, certainly the national security attorneys at the white house, giving the president a rmgs recommendation on it. so here s my question. before the president even got the memo and read it, he said he wanted to release it. why release the republican memo unredacted and against the urging of the fbi and doj, but not release the democratic memo in the exact same manner. what would the justification be for that? a couple of things. first off with the majority memo that was previously released, there was a change that was made to it at the request of the fbi. it was a shorter document that did it didn t include sources and methods that we weren t able to release. the schiff memo was first presented to the house intel committee right when the vote to
listen, congressman, i ve got to get to my next guest. and listen it just seems, you know, as i ve been sitting at home watching as much as i ve been watching, it just seems hypocritical that you would want to release one memo unredacted. without anyone, you said the majority of members had ready it. a lot of people hasn t read the republican memo as well. my question is beyond politics, beyond republican versus democrat, whatever it is, do you worry we re going down a dangerous road especially with the fbi and with our law enforcement agencies, where we re pushing out information that that our enemies know what s up. they possibly know our sources and methods. couldn t this have been handled in a better way? especially from republicans who are rushing to get this out, when there is no deadline? first off, the majority memo was out weeks before the schiff memo was first introduced. but you re not answering my question. no, i am. there s a few different points no, you re n
