CONGRESSMAN JARED HUFFMAN’S RESPONSE TO NUNES MEMO ON FACEBOOK:

"The skirmish over Devin Nunes' ham-handed, partisan "intelligence" memo
would be funny if it wasn't so extremely dangerous. I've read the memo --
at least the version that existed a few days ago, before he secretly
modified it again without the committee's knowledge. I also read the
Democratic rebuttal memo that Republicans are withholding, so I know the
Nunes' memo is complete bunk, riddled with exaggerations, wild
extrapolations, and outright lies (for example: it mischaracterizes a key
witnesses' testimony in a classified hearing, which would be easy to
refute... except that the GOP majority refuses to declassify the
transcript!).

Here's the bottom line, which anyone willing to think independently already
realizes: Nunes is trying to manipulate public opinion against our main
federal law enforcement agencies (FBI and DOJ) and pave the way for
President Trump to start firing people. This is the deliberate setup for a
Watergate-style Saturday Night Massacre. Nunes, Trump and their ilk are
desperately choreographing all of this -- despite the damage to our
institutions and national security, despite the fact that most people see
right through their scheme -- because they know the Russia investigation is
getting close to revealing the truth. The country will soon know the full
extent of Trump's personal, financial and political ties to Russia, and
whether he has obstructed justice or engaged in other misconduct. This
scares them so much that they've launched a disinformation campaign that
would make Goebbels blush. They're counting on the rightwing media echo
chamber and Russian bots to help them brand the Special Counsel's Russia
investigation as a "witch hunt" and change the subject to their new
pseudo-conspiracy within the FBI and DOJ.

Those of us who care about the truth -- and frankly, anyone who cares about
our country -- must step up right now, call out these insidious actions,
oppose political tampering with our law enforcement agencies, and demand
that the Special Counsel be allowed to follow the facts wherever they lead.
This is not a drill!”
