Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., rebuffed the Justice Department after it sent a letter to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., warning against the release of a memo on alleged surveillance abuses without giving access to the agency.
Such a move would be “extraordinarily reckless,” Stephen Boyd, the assistant attorney general for legislative affairs, wrote in a letter to Nunes on Wednesday.
“I would say this to my friend Stephen Boyd, let’s lower the rhetoric,” Gowdy said in response on CNN during an evening interview with Erin Burnett.
Gowdy, a member of the House Intelligence Committee who has been instrumental in talks about the process for releasing the four-page memo to the public, said he doesn’t care if the agency sees the report, even though the FBI, which is under the jurisdiction of DOJ, says it was blocked from gaining access to it.

Sorry, but these bureaucrats have lost their credibility. If they have nothing to hide, they should have nothing to fear about the release of the memo. This corruption and criminal behavior is unprecedented in our nation’s history and it would be reckless not to reveal it. These bureaucrats forget they work for the American people and not the other way around. The only way to come clean and start over is honesty and disclosure directly to the public ASAP, not doctored, altered, filtered, faked, or redacted in any way by these corrupt agencies to protect themselvese or suit their self-serving whims.
I want to see what is up for myself. I, like so many citizens demand transparency and this is why we voted Trump into office. SHOW US THE PAPERS, IT IS THAT SIMPLE.
Cong. Trey Gowdy got the director of the Federal Bureau of Exoneration, James Comey, to co-star with him in the cheapest, most effective campaign commercial ever made.
Comey was such a bumbling incompetent as director that he actually used the term “GROSSLY NEGLIGENT” in his draft of a statement to exonerate Babuska Alinsky. What does it say about Comey that Agent Gumshoe had to suggest “extremely careless.”
