FBI challenges accuracy of GOPs surveillance memo

The FBI spoke out publicly Wednesday against a GOP memo criticizing the bureau’s use of surveillance authorities, challenging the classified document’s accuracy as the White House and congressional Republicans are expected to soon make its contents public.

The WH and their lackeys are impugning the integrity of the institution. I'm not saying they're perfect by any means, but they won't stand for this kind of abuse much longer. Watch.

I wouldn't want the FBI, CIA and / or NSA righteously pissed at me and I don't have anything hidden in the proverbial closet like these folks probably do. Talk about stupid.
