GOP Rep. Mike Turner wants greater transparency from DOJ on Mar-a-Lago investigation

GOP Rep. Mike Turner, the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, says the affidavit underlying the warrant used to search Mar-a-Lago will "give us the information to understand, how did the FBI justify raiding Mar-a-Lago and spending nine hours in the president’s house?"

Really? This guy is on the intelligence committee? Former presidents may have access to confidential information, but they have to go to a secure facility to view it - not take it home and keep it in the basement of their residence! What a joke of an argument

[kevinvonschaumburg]

This top republican on the intelligence committee is quite short of intelligence

[richardtgreer]

Turner conveniently omits that Trump was issued a subpoena to return the dox and that his legal team falsely declared all were returned.

[barbaraferdon]

He was given notice a few months before about the documents but did not respond! This is why they decided to go get them👍 Confidential documents and top secret items were not supposed to be in his possession!!!

I like presidents that don’t STEAL boxes of Top Secret Nuclear Documents !

[JosueMartinez-wwvj]

Simple someone close to trump called the fbi and told them where the top secret documents were.

The only folks thinking about abuse is cultists. The sane part of the country wants to know that no individual is above the law. We care about our county as well and we think this is disturbing that a former president thinks he is a god and above the law.

I’m a member of the American public and you, Rep. Mike Turner, don’t speak for me, I most definitely want this investigation to continue just like the majority of other Americans who don’t believe the US President is above the law.

[applerunner]

So it os ok to have TS/SCI documents as long as the information contained in the documents is not an immediate threat? What a complete joke of an argument! Sorry, but it doesn't work like that and he knows that...

[esvamapp]

wow. they are just going to let rep turner say whatever w/out fact-checking

[garydavidson]

Release the muller report Manafort admitted to being a foot soldier for Putin last week

[Dan-iyjl]

This Republican sounds like an endless loop. How much pampering was the FBI supposed to do with Tr*mp? Any other citizen would not have had this kid glove treatment.

[samanthaevans]

Why should the DOJ have to say "pretty please"? A law is a law. Stop deflecting and wait to see what is found.

[jrgaskin]

this man would say he didn't steal a candy bar with chocolate smeared on his face

[bobstiles]

Where were you Turner when Barr’s DOJ was as opaque as muddy water…. but that was OK right?

[NoOne-feqt]

Mike Turner is being a typical Republican, which translates to a 'person of low integrity' these days.

[janiebuck]

Omgod...he's not suppose to have the documents. Period! The classifications are not relevant!

[danauthor]

he is mightily concerned about chinese espionage, but completely sidesteps any mention of the fact that Trump is being investigated for espionage (and that trump would certainly be able and willing to sell SCI documents to china for the right price)

[gregpieper]

Shouldn't you be required to have a modicum of objective intelligence to be the ranking member of the House "Intelligence" Committee? He just wants the name of the alleged whistle blower.

[johnhenry]

The amount of lies these republicans are allowed to say on TV is very disturbing
