Secretly al altered to tar the fbi and the justice department. a claim hotly disputed by republicans like speaker paul ryan who gave nunes some cover. >> this memo is really a spin on a not just a set of particular documents, but broader classified information than that. that because of serious and material omissions is inaccurate and gives a very misleading impression. >> this memo is not indictment of the fbi, of the department of justice. it does not impugn the mueller investigation or the de...

Shows that in the long run weasels and liars never hold the feel so long as good people stand up. not a lot of schools or streets named for joe mccarthy." the union representing the fbi rank and file weighed in with this. the fbi agents association appreciate he is the collector chris wray standing shoulder to shoulder with the men and women of the fisher as we work together to protect our country from criminal and national security threats. lets be clear the fisa memo controversy is not princ...

Would be sent back to the hill to the house intelligence committee and they would make this public for all to see. were led to believe as soon as tomorrow morning. the president earlier today, he went over to the congressional retreat in west virginia to address republicans there. he did not comment on this memo or on his thinking at all. but the house speaker, paul ryan, said it does serve a purpose. >> shepard: what it is, its the congress legitimate function of oversight to make sure the fisa...
