GOP lawmaker calls for FBI, DOJ officials to face 'treason' charges

[oberliner]

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) said on Friday that the House intelligence memo on alleged FBI malfeasance showed "clear and convincing evidence of treason" by law enforcement officials, despite lingering concerns in the intelligence community over its credibility.

Republicans seized on the White House's decision to approve the public disclosure of the disputed document, compiled by staffers for the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), to speak out against the FBI and Justice Department's handling of the investigation into Russian election interference and ties between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.

Gosar, in a statement, blasted the FBI's use of a surveillance warrant to gather information about a former Trump campaign adviser, Carter Page. The Arizona lawmaker cited the document in accusing former FBI Director James Comey, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and current Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein of breaking the law.
