EXCERPT:

HIMES: "Well, the main concern I have is that most of the allegations in the memo are simply not true. And, you know, we heard not just from the F.B.I. but from the Department of Justice that the release of this memo would be extremely reckless. And then of course the F.B.I. reviewed it on Sunday night and issued the statement that they did. And then, as you probably saw late last night, Adam Schiff and his staff discovered that Devin Nunes and his staff had actually altered the memo before they sent it to the White House, which is a very clear violation of house rules because we voted on one set of allegations, Democrats voting against releasing it, and then they altered the language to send it to the White House."
