arguing against it. and they are being overridden. >> no, it's unprecedented. look, in every administration until this one, the fbi was above politics. had the fbi director walked into my office in the west wing of the white house and said you can't do this because of national security, there wouldn't be a discussion. there wouldn't be a debate. i would walk over to the garbage can and throw the memo in. that would be it. you know, this isn't a partisan issue. you have the senate intelligence chair saying why are you doing this. you have john thune, the senator from south dakota, one of the most conservative members, saying don't do this. you have donald trump's hand-picked fbi director saying don't do this. now the white house's response is well, we are going to make some redactions to the memo. that's not what the fbi said yesterday. the fbi said there are material omissions of fact that make this incorrect. you know, i can't understand how this is happening.
