John Brennan: GOP FISA Abuse Memo ‘Misrepresents the Facts’ and There Are ‘Significant Omissions’

‘It misrepresents the facts and there are significant omissions of fact that are there’

EXCERPT:

BRENNAN: "Well that’s why FBI Director Chris Wray was very adamant about not having this go out the way it is, because it misrepresents the facts and there are very significant omissions of fact that are there. So -- and the FBI goes through a very, very thorough process. You know, sure, it’s not perfect all the time, but you know, putting forward a FISA request is really very, very -- it's a solemn responsibility of the bureau. And all of the documentation under that -- it is very important to be able to understand for the judge, just to understand the totality of the information that the request is being made from. And that 3.5 page memo I think does a real injustice to that documentation."
