Document that the white house said should be released. it is not normal for the gop chair of the house intel committee to refuse to share a classified document of mutual interest with the gop chair of the senate intel committee. it is not normal for the agency that was the source of the classified material in this case the d.o.j. to be excluded from the declassification process. and it is not normal for anyone in the government to expose secret material that sheds light on fisa surveillance. as ken delaney an also noted, when edward snowden did that, he was labelled a traitor. that will wrap t...

Idea of the federal judge who signed off on this affidavit. if congressman nunes truly had it in his heart to correct the record, to get a remedy in place for whatever allegation he's going to launch against the fbi regarding this affidavit, he has a solution. he could go to the chief judge of the fisa court, he could say i believe you signed off on a flawed affidavit and here's why, and that can be fixed and remedied. he's choosing not to do that. he's choosing not to go to the fbi director, not to go to the inspector general of the department of justice. he's choosing to politicize this and ...
