Scarborough: Trump’s ‘Targeted’ the DoJ and FBI for a ‘Political Purge’

‘So this is a cynical game that Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy and Devin Nunes that anybody that empowers Devin Nunes is playing’

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: “It’s unbelievable. Donald Trump never just allows himself to have a straight shot at anything. Here we have the State of the Union coming up tonight. That should be the focus. But instead, you look at what happened last night in the House. And you had Nunes’ memo, which twists the truth and it plays these crude political games with highly secret intelligence. Mika, most of the Republicans who voted to release this controversial memo that the Justice Department said would be extraordinarily reckless had never even read the memo. And many who did read Nunes’ memo say it falsely summarized a reality and it's filled with all these falsehoods and these misleading conclusions, all in an attempt to slur law enforcement officers that Donald Trump — I don’t know how else I should say this, he’s targeted them for a political purge. So, this is a cynical game that Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy and Devin Nunes and anybody that empowers Devin Nunes is playing."
