A Democratic lawmaker said Republican lawmakers who don’t actively criticize President Trump over the Nunes memo are worse than the deplorable “true believers.”
In a tweet Sunday afternoon responding to prominent “#NeverTrump” neoconservative Bill Kristol, U.S. Rep. Ted Lieu of California said Mr. Trump is trying “to smear our institutions.”
I know GOP Members who truly believe @FBI is a hotbed of liberalism & Uranium One is a scandal. I don't fault true believers. But many GOP Members do not share those beliefs, yet enable Trump to smear our institutions. They are being cowards & history will judge them harshly. https://t.co/e6JWzLO2Nt

This memo totally vindicates “Trump” in probe. But the Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on. Their was no Collusion and there was no Obstruction (the word now used because, after one year of looking endlessly and finding NOTHING, collusion is dead). This is an American disgrace!

[give_form id=”79809″] [divider][/divider]The declassified memo released Friday by House Republicans that alleges intelligence abuse during the 2016 presidential campaign “raises serious concerns” about the integrity of the FBI and the Department of Justice, Vice President Mike Pence said.
“I’ve had a chance to see the memo and our administration believes the memo raises serious concerns about the integrity of decisions that were made at the highest level of the Department of Justice and the FBI,” Pence told a TV station in Pittsburgh on Friday. “We’re going to continue to work with Congress to practice transparency, to get all this information out before the American people.”
Pence’s vow for transparency is in line with committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., who suggested more information on the investigation will be declassified by President Trump, then made public. – READ MORE
