370598711 House Intelligence Committee Report on FISA Abuses by Katie Pavlich on Scribd
***Original Post***
Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee voted last week to release a memo they allege shows government wrongdoing during the 2016 presidential campaign. The memo was written by Chairman Devin Nunes and other members of the Committee, including former prosecutor Trey Gowdy.
After approval from President Trump and declassification Thursday night, the memo will be released to the public immediately. It is four pages long.
According to Fox News' Catherine Herridge, the memo shows the infamous dossier compiled by Fusion GPS and paid for by the Clinton campaign was used by the FBI to obtain a FISA warrant on members of the Trump campaign.
"A lot of people should be ashamed," Trump said about the information Friday from the White House. "It's a disgrace."
Pres. Trump says GOP memo has been declassified: "Congress will do whatever they're going to do. But I think it's a disgrace what's happening in our country...A lot of people should be ashamed of themselves." https://t.co/vNb1ydyEqm pic.twitter.com/UIFcdCQ42W

Early Friday morning ahead of the memo's release, Trump blasted DOJ and the FBI.
The top Leadership and Investigators of the FBI and the Justice Department have politicized the sacred investigative process in favor of Democrats and against Republicans - something which would have been unthinkable just a short time ago. Rank & File are great people!

As soon as the memo is available, we will post it here. It will be released without redactions.
In December, former Associate Deputy Attorney Bruce Ohr was demoted after it was revealed his wife worked at Fusion GPS. Ohr had multiple meetings with dossier author Glenn Simpson, who worked with British spy Christopher Steele on behalf of the Clinton campaign.
