‘Worst Government Abuse Scandal in a Generation’
Does the controversial memo released by the House Intelligence Committee Friday claiming the Justice Department used the infamous unverified “dossier” to obtain permission from a top-secret court to spy on a Trump campaign adviser have any relationship to Robert Mueller’s special counsel investigation of alleged Russia-Trump campaign collusion?
That’s the belief of the Washington watchdog organization Judicial Watch, which has filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit seeking all of the documents the Justice Department and the FBI submitted to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court “related to alleged collusion between Russia and Trump campaign associates.”
Judicial Watch, calling it possibly “the worst government abuse scandal in a generation,” said the Nunes memo “makes a compelling case that the FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) court was misled and severely abused by top officials in the Justice Department and FBI.”
“Rather than relying upon dueling summary memos from Republicans and Democrats, the American people should be able to see for themselves the details of how the Obama administration officials (and Rod Rosenstein of the Trump administration) justified spying on the Trump team,” the watchdog group said.
Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee want their own memo, rebutting the Republican majority, to be released. (Read more from “‘Worst Government Abuse Scandal in a Generation'” HERE)
