Matt Gaetz: FISA Abuse Memo ‘Implicates’ Senior DOJ and FBI Officials; Shows Mueller Probe Is Built on ‘Rotten’ Premise

RUSH EXCERPT:

GAETZ: "I don’t think those were my statements, Martha. But I do believe that there are jaw-dropping revelations about the extent to which the FBI and Department of Justice were weaponized politically to go after the folks that they didn’t line up with from an ideological or electoral standpoint. That’s deeply unfortunate, whether you are a Democrat or Republican, an independent or a whig. And that’s why I’m hopeful that the release of this memo will create a bipartisan opportunity to evaluate the type of country we want to have the type of surveillance protocols and type of oversight that would stop this type of abuse from happening in the future. I would disagree with Speaker Ryan. I have a great deal of respect for him. But I think that the substance of this memo absolutely implicates senior officials at the department of justice and the FBI. And I think that it shows that the entire Mueller investigation should have never been started in the first place. That it is built on a false, rotten premise. I think the American people will agree once they have the opportunity to review this unredacted memo."
