Shep Smith Slips, Calls GOP FISA Memo a ‘Russian Document’: ‘Reads Like a Press Release’

RUSH EXCERPT:

SMITH: "That memo is about one thing, the surveillance of Carter Page. The former trump adviser who has been on the FBI’s radar for weirdness since 2013. The Russian document or I should say the Republican document reads like press release. Its authors accuse the feds of abusing the authority to spy on a former Trump campaign adviser in its investigation. The top Democrat warns the memo leaves out the full picture and key pieces of evidence. Context matters and it’s missing. According to the memo, former FBI director or I should say deputy director Andrew McCabe said that without the trump dossier, there would have been an investigation. McCabe testified in 2017 that no surveillance warrant would have been sought from the FISA without the Steele dossier information. The political document leaves out the fact that page caught the attention of FBI officials way back in 2013 when the feds recorded a suspected Russian spy saying he might be able to leverage the former trump adviser for information. Democrats on house intelligence committee released a statement after the release of the memo. In it, lawmakers address the evidence surrounding Carter Page."
