Thank you Christopher Wray for standing up to these people

1:32-1:37 If they led with accountability rather than focusing on arguing points about the institution itself then we would be having a very different type of conversation. The methodology that I've seen used is under scrutiny for a reason

[marcmarinacci]

INAPPROPRIATE?? AN AMERICAN INVOLVED WITH RUSSIAN HIGHAIRCHY? THATS TREASON !!

[startop]

Nunes must have been paid very well to put out Trumps version of this memo into the public eye.

[truthseeker]

Rebuttal not needed, Mr. Director... *RESIGN!!!*

[victormodjeski]

Devin Nunes, , you will go down on infamy, on the wrong side of history.

[dennisg]

If the memo is biased, then release the original report.

[jakegevorgian]

Sure! Let's release another memo! Let's release all the memos!

[l.lambert]

It was not one bad apple, it was a bad apple tree.

[Obscured]

So where's the rebuttal? Where's the sources and methods it revealed?

[m.m.]

Bots need to be exposed, here, and on Facebook and Twitter. We need to have a see how many bots we can expose. But then you will always have bots exposing bots. 😳

[highsnburgers]

SHOW US THE FISA REQUEST AND THE MEMO!!!!

[Aristotelezz]

The best rebuttal is release Trump's tax returns.

[tuckfrump]

I wonder what Trump and/or Putin have on Nunes?

[violetdevereaux]

WOW sure are a lot of trumputins on here.

[toussaintchivars]

The nothing burger memo, bigger than Watergate??? Whoever put that together either forgot their meds or probably took too many.😂😂😂😂😂

[joemonroe]

This is just the first act in the play. Follow the money. Apache.

[mitchjones]

Russian bot city...you go Vlad, tell Shinbones, "Hello".

[nurlindafsihotang]

forgot that if this memo of nunez released and FBI submits rebuttals, there are risks of uncovering US allies intellegent agents too? would US allies would forgives US if their agents died?

[BeyondCom]

Why talk about a delay in releasing the Hillary email info and not talk about the failure to disclose the much more important investigation into the Russian-Trump/GOP connection?
