In a rare public statement on Wednesday, the FBI said that it has "grave concerns" about a Republican-crafted memo alleging corrosive abuse of U.S. surveillance powers by the Justice Department that is expected to be released in the coming days.

"With regard to the House Intelligence Committee’s memorandum, the FBI was provided a limited opportunity to review this memo the day before the committee voted to release it," the bureau said.

"As expressed during our initial review, we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy."

[pugmama]

What a surprise...........NOT!

[gov_bean_ counter]

So there is someone in the FBI whose name is FBI?

[Blueflag]

The “Bureau” can’t say sh!t. *WHO* said this???

Names or it is useless text.

[RoosterRedux]

Suck it up, G-Man.

[Blueflag]

Exactly!!! **WHO???**

[Sasparilla]

We will be the judge of the memo. Not the guilty.

[Be Careful]

Note the absence of any personal citation.....who actually said this?

[gov_bean_ counter]

Whose butt is next up in the sling???

[NEMDF]

YES

And why is Wray, who seemingly fired McCabe, allowing this type of statement to be released?

[McGavin999]

“The” FBI? Who at the FBI? Director Wrey? Why didn’t they say something before it was released? Orr is this another swamp creature that is connected to Schiff?

It seems that it is necessary to completely dissolve the FBI, investigate senior staff and whoever else comes up, zero out pensions, and imprison those guilty of this attempted coup. Agents who had nothing to do with it can be rehired on a case-by-case basis. Or not.

Did they try to derail a train or injure GOP lawmakers? Did they whitewash the investigation of the plot to kill GOP Congresspersons st a baseball practice? Grave concerns from the FBI.

If Sessions doesn’t get a handle on the FBI, fire him Mr. President.

Now.

“...the bureau said.”

No other attribution than that.

SNORT.

[Arm_Bears]

Deep State trying to discredit the memo so as to save their sorry a$$eS.

[mojito]

If Wray is behind this and he didn't clear it with the WH beforehand there's gonna be he!! to pay.

[circlecity]

Yet FBI sources told Fox news they could find no inaccuracies in the memo.
