Rational Radio Daily With Steele And Ungar

Congressman Devin Nunes’ (R-CA 22) controversial memo on alleged abuse by the FISA court was declassified and made available to the public today. The reactions are split between outrage and indignation from conservative pundits and politicians who believe the memo is proof of partisan bias in the FBI and intelligence community and outrage and indignation from liberals who believe the memo is a partisan “nothing burger” and a waste of time. Congressman Will Hurd (R-Texas 23), a member of the House Select Committee on Intelligence, voted for the memo to be declassified and released. Rep. Hurd defends the memo, Congress’ right to exercise oversight and the real, substantive issues in the ongoing Russia investigation. Michael and Rick discuss whether the memo's release will have consequences for Paul Ryan’s reputation and whether it has irreparably damaged the relationship between Congress and the intelligence community.
