Matt Miller: GOP Memo ‘Has Very Damaging Effects on FBI Agents and Prosecutors’ Ability To Do Their Jobs’

EXCERPT:

MITCHELL: "And Bret Baier asked exactly the right question, Matt Miller. The fact is that Trey Gowdy, after reading the underlying material, said that he did not think that the GOP memo, as written, undercut the Mueller investigation or had anything to do, in fact, with it."
MILLER: "Yeah, that was an important for Trey Gowdy to say, although I’m still perplexed if he believes that --"
MICTHELL: "Why --" [crosstalk]
MILLER: "Why he signed off on this memo. Which -- it’s pretty clear now, and we’ll find out for sure if the Democratic memo becomes public, was misleading in the way it described that events on that warrant. I want to pick up on one thing Frank said about the damage we’re seeing to the FBI and Justice Department. Morale clearly is a problem, but the more damaging problem, and I think this is what you really hear from him, picking up with FBI agents, when 30, 35, 40 percent, whatever percentage of the public the president is able to convince, the FBI is biased when they start -- when they stop believing in the integrity of that -- that department's mission it has very damaging effects on FBI agents and prosecutors’ ability to do their jobs. It means whistleblowers won't ome forward, it means people that sit on juries won’t believe what prosecutors say, what FBI agents say on the stands. It means people might not cooperate with investigations. These attacks have a political ramification right now in realtime, but they have a long-term damaging harm to these institutions."
