Coons: Releasing the FISA Abuse Memo Would Undermine Intelligence Gathering

‘This House memo ... is based on misleading and impartial readings of the intelligence’

RUSH EXCERPT:
COONS: "Well, Republicans senator Jeff flake and I, he’s the chairman on the ranking member of one of the subcommittee urging the president not to change course and not release this memo tomorrow. It would under mine our intelligence gathering and it — this house memo has been read and authored and edited by Devin Nunes is based on misleading and impartial readings of the intelligence. You heard from a lot of different folks on this show tonight and across the course of the day about how this could impact sources and methods and intelligence gathering about why it is breaking apart the long standing bipartisan commitment to over sight O F the intelligence community and why this further erodes our democratic institutions. It is striking that we got the president of the United States willing to take on the FBI and its leadership and willing to take on the department of justice and its leadership simply in an effort to try and further discredit Mueller’s ongoing probe."
