Schiff: Nunes, Paul Ryan All See Trump as Their Client and the Memo Is a Product of that View

‘It’s part of the defense strategy’

EXCERPT:

SCHIFF: "When the Republicans moved to make their memo public yesterday, they did so because they said it was in the interest of full transparency. Apparently Full transparency goes only so far. It doesn't include any minority views. Look, it makes very clear what this is all about. It’s a political exercise by the Republicans designed to attack the FBI and attack the Department of Justice, undermine Bob Mueller’s work. It’s part of the defense strategy that when the facts are really against your client put the government on trial. And here are sadly, the speaker, the chairman, they all view their client as being the president not, the America people and -- and this is the product of that point of view."
