Letter and Tweet at link.
Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee are calling for an immediate meeting with officials from the FBI and Department of Justice over the claims made in the memo drafted by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.).
The letter, spearheaded by ranking member Rep. Jerrod Nadler (D-N.Y.), is directed to committee chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.). In it, Nadler asks Goodlatte to arrange a meeting with FBI Director Christopher Wray and other representatives from the Justice Department to examine the "talking points" that he says Republicans are using to "discredit the work of the FBI and Special Counsel Robert Mueller."
"It is imperative that we hear directly from these officials about the security and law enforcement implications of making this information public," Nadler wrote.
"It is also important that we hear about any inaccuracies or key omissions from the Nunes document," he added.
President Trump plans to release a memo drafted by Nunes purporting to detail surveillance abuses by the federal government to be made public despite warnings from the FBI that the document contains inaccurate statements and omissions of fact.
“The president is OK with it,” a White House official told reporters traveling with Trump aboard Air Force One. “I doubt there will be any redactions. It’s in Congress’s hands after that.”
“As expressed during our initial review, we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy," the bureau said in a statement.
Nunes has dismissed the FBI's criticism and accused the bureau of running a counterintelligence operation based off of unverified information during the 2016 election.
"It’s clear that top officials used unverified information in a court document to fuel a counterintelligence investigation during an American political campaign. Once the truth gets out, we can begin taking steps to ensure our intelligence agencies and courts are never misused like this again,” Nunes said.
Dims are trying to figure out what the lowest level position person who the Republicans will accept to stop the whole thing.
For example, if McCabe agrees to accept a severe punishment, would the Republicans stop and then not go after Rosenstein or anyone higher?
There are no streets named Joe McCarthy precisely because the communist left succeeded in silencing him, even though Joe was right. Venona.
Democrats snakes are slithering their scales off.
Rosenstein will be gone. Finally.
They are scared to death
Pffft.
There are none. It's all declassified.
Poor Dembots 2018 is not going like they hoped.
If he goes, the bargaining then becomes, if Rosenstein gets an acceptably severe punishment, will you Republicans stop it there? They want to make sure it stops well before Obama. That is the trigger.
We can handle the truth.

When they throw the FBI under the Dembot bus, does the FBI throw Obama, Hillary, and the previous Administration under their bus? :-)
Ole mule is still trying to pin an obstruction tail on a donkey-less crime... somethin’... somethin’... about a five minute somethin’ or other meeting with a Rooskie babe in the tower knowing that Cankles never takes a bath. (Like it’s a secret.)
“I honestly believe that 40% or more of this country would like to see internment camps for those who oppose liberalism.”
Without a doubt. The left is completely off their rockers. The brainwashing is total...complete.
Exactly, the longer this goes unreleased, the more of a chance some liberal judge will block this. #releasethememo
Here is more ammo for the Dems: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5342503/Britains-spy-agencies-risk-having-methods-revealed.html
Unfortunately for the Dems, they were/are incredibly in-your-face corrupt. They weren't trying to hide their corruption, they were BRAZEN with their corruption. IRS scandal, Email scandal, Wire Tapping scandal, Fake evidence to support Fisa court scandal. Over and over again, they were BOLD with their corruption. Clinton Lynch tarmac scandal, Writing exoneration memo before Clinton interview scandal, allowed Clinton to be interviewed - probably gave her the questions ahead of time - scandal, Clinton SMASHES subpoenaed hard drive equipment scandal. They send out press releases regarding their scandals. They literally thought they were invincible and above the law.
Trump is a closer. The Art of the Deal.
Separation of powers. Congress voted. We’re talking criminal conspiracy up to and including treason. Don’t think they can do a thing. The Republicans have the majority and elections have consequences. #releasethememo - all of the memos!
And in other news today, even more Obama corruption revealed publicly...
