The request to renew that warrant made by Deputy Attorney general rod rosenstein, the man overseeing the russia investigation. Trump supporters say it calls into quest like a snickers bar. Reporter but democrats say its nothing more than a political hit job, and accused republicans of cherry picking the raw intelligence. This committee voted to put the president s personal interest, perhaps their own political interest, above the national interest.

Why not release all the information at the same time . Do a bipartisan process . We think the republican memo does that, and well treat the democrat memo exactly the same way.
