FBI Releases Statement Blasting Nunes Memo


Punching back:
The FBI takes seriously its obligations to the FISA Court and its compliance with procedures overseen by career professionals in the Department of Justice and the FBI. We are committed to working with the appropriate oversight entities to ensure the continuing integrity of the FISA process. 
With regard to the House Intelligence Committee’s memorandum, the FBI was provided a limited opportunity to review this memo the day before the committee voted to release it. As expressed during our initial review, we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy(our emphasis)
This, after it's been reported that both Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray appealed (apparently in vain) to the White (Supremacist) House -- in the form of Chief of Staff Adult Day Care supervisor John Kelly -- not to authorize release the bullshit Nunes memo.
