John Kennedy on the FISA Abuse Memo: ‘We Can Do Damage’ to the FBI

EXPERT:

KENNEDY: "Well, a couple of points. We can't let the politics of the moment cloud our judgment. If there's classified information in that memo it shouldn't be released. If they release it anyway, to be fair, the Democrats ought to be allowed to release their memo. My strong preference would be not have either side put spin on it, go through the original material and try to take out all the classified information. I see things on the Russian investigation a little differently from my colleagues. I trust the FBI. I think the vast majority of the members of the FBI are apolitical law enforcement -- best in the world. Now, some of my colleagues disagree with me. I don't doubt there's some political animals over there on both sides. We can do damage to the premier law enforcement agency in the world. I think if they're allowed to get the facts and then present them to the American people, the American people are smart enough to figure it out for themselves."
