On Morning Joe, today:
They essentially have put out a book review on a book that Devin Nunes himself has not read, and they say the book is full of lies. That's the position they're going to put the American people in...The memo goes to great length, asserts inaccuracies to discredit Robert Mueller and his team... I'm afraid [Republicans] will have poisoned the well of public sentiment as Robert Mueller continues to do his work, and if he reaches further indictments, the public sentiment will have been tainted because of a one-sided memo. The full picture isn't seen. I'm confident if the full picture would be seen it would be laughable. The intent is to protect the president, at the risk of torching the FBI building...
The State of our Union is lawless -- lawless as the president tries to remove Bob Mueller through tactics like this; lawless as his aides in Congress seek to help him; and lawless as ... he has failed to impose the sanctions against Russia that Congress passed.
