House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said he is not opposed to releasing the transcript of FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe's testimony in which he allegedly said that the agency would not have pursued placing a Trump campaign adviser under surveillance without the unverified "Trump dossier" written by former British spy Christopher Steele.
“That would be a whole process that we’d have to go through,” Nunes told Fox News host Bret Baier on Friday evening after Baier asked him if the transcript would be released. “Actually, the quotes I think are pretty damning themselves.”
“I wouldn’t mind doing that, but we would have to go through a whole process to release transcripts,” he added
Wonder if Trump means the UK/EU instead of or in addition to the Russians...
I can think of three other countries that might be involved: Canada, the YK, and Italy.
UK...
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) was introduced on May 18, 1977, by Senator Ted Kennedy and was signed into law by President Carter in 1978 . . .The FISA resulted from extensive investigations by Senate Committees into the legality of domestic intelligence activities. These investigations were led separately by Sam Ervin and Frank Church in 1978 as a response to President Richard Nixon’s usage of federal resources to spy on political and activist groups.[2] The act was created to provide judicial and congressional oversight of the government's covert surveillance activities of foreign entities and individuals in the United States, while maintaining the secrecy needed to protect national security.
Classic case of the who will guard the guardians conundrum.
Apparently the memo isn’t having the 1-2 punch that was expected?
RELEASE THE TRANSCRIPT NOW !!
You’ve just got to love those awesome “sources and methods” used by the FBI. Yahoo articles and Clinton campaign brochures. Great job, FBI!
There is a bigger game going on here. 4D chess. The memo is making these people say things like it is a lie that McCabe said they wouldn’t have the FISA warrant without the dossier. Then, Nunes will release the transcript (it was under oath!) and they will be proven to be liars and the evidence pile against them gets even deeper....
My bad, you are correct. So Obama and the Justice Department used flimsy evidence to get several Federal agencies to actually capture data and conversations on the Trump campaign, that in turn were shared with the Democrat Party, to plan their strategy against trump. I think I got that part correct. Imagine if Bush had done that to Obama. There would have been a revolution.
Be patient. They have to whip the prog-commies up into an absolute foam froth before they release it. I’m loving this “Chinese water torture” of a memo-gate, very entertaining.
I think so too. The President isn’t stupid and would have anticipated the reaction to the memo. I think the memo was just the beginning. I suspect there will be more coming out.

A 2nd source has now confirmed to me that, in a meeting on January 10, Deputy A-G Rosenstein used the power of his office to threaten to subpoena the calls & texts of the Intel Committee to get it to stop it’s investigation of DOJ and FBI. Likely an Abuse of Power & Obstruction.

CNN owes the President an apology,
Fat chance it’ll ever come.
But its a perfect illustration of the arrogance and lying nature of the fake news media.
Prosecutions are not inevitable. Release the transcript to increase public pressure, to increase the chances of prosecutions.
Shouldn’t be a problem. McCabe’s not working there anymore.
There IS a revolution.
Betcha that the Democrats and FBI want no part of that.
That’s okay. I’m not at all interested in pleasing either one of those people.
