The declassified memo released Friday by House Republicans that alleges intelligence abuse during the 2016 presidential campaign “raises serious concerns” about the integrity of the FBI and the Department of Justice, Vice President Mike Pence said.

“I’ve had a chance to see the memo and our administration believes the memo raises serious concerns about the integrity of decisions that were made at the highest level of the Department of Justice and the FBI,” Pence told a TV station in Pittsburgh on Friday. “We’re going to continue to work with Congress to practice transparency, to get all this information out before the American people.”

On Friday, Republican leaders on the House Intelligence Committee released the memo, which suggests the FBI and DOJ requested a surveillance warrant on then-campaign adviser Carter Page using as evidence a disputed anti-Trump dossier funded by Democrats.

Pence's vow for transparency is in line with committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., who suggested more information on the investigation will be declassified by President Trump, then made public.

This just goes to show that Trump Republicans and Establishment Republicans are now one and the same. They are now joined at the hip.

1. no, actually it raises serious questions about the GOP

2. It raises serious concerns about a lot of things, not the least of which

is that the Trumpazoids are for some reason having hissy fits about the issuance of a FISA warrant to surveill an unimportant campaign aide that nobody knew and was nothing but a covfefe boy anyhow but who turned out to be a Russian spy.

3. Pence...not even worth a pence..(plural form of penny) - too bad he too didn't read the information

provided for the FISA warrant...jerk...

4. If Pence, his Administration and Republicans

are so interested in transparency I suggest Trump releases multiple years of his taxes immediately.

5. Pence was sweating bullets

... and then he found out he's not mentioned in the memo.

Don't worry Mike, you'll get your turn. I'm sure there's an indictment with your name on it in Mueller's pocket.

6. Pence's response raises serious questions about his involvement. Didn't he lie about the

Flynn firing ?

[Squinch]

7. Your point should never be forgotten. Tether that chicken!

[C_U_L8R]

8. Pence's statement raises serious questions

about his intelligence and integrity. Complicite much, Mike?

21. Thanks for saving me the typing!

9. Trump is treating this like a political campaign, law enforcement is not political

They are picking a fight with the FBI and IC and expecting the deplorables, rabble-roused by Hannity, to carry the day by lobbying Congress.

This is ludicrous. Rule of law is out the window if this happens. No one will ever obey a law again if they succeed.

10. Does that Trump Kool-Aid come in a keg or does he swim in pool of it?

[global1]

11. Looks Like Pence Has Come Late To The Party....

sorry Mike - it's been exposed as a dud already. You need to keep up with the news.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

12. this!

Maybe it took that long to sink in.

[Freethinker65]

13. It is the Lord's memo to Pence. No need to question its contents.

[SWBTATTReg]

14. Funny that only those w/ something to hide are ...

involved w/ this. All traitors. Their time will come, in spades...

[keithbvadu2]

15. "integrity" and "transparency" says Pence

[Liberalagogo]

16. More projection

[nwduke]

17. Yeah the Earth started 6000 years

[bluestarone]

18. better impeach them both because

[bucolic_frolic]

19. Nonsense Pence Fences serious baloney as usual

Lock him up! Between the two juniors.

[Turbineguy]

20. The great thing about being a criminal these days

is that the President and Vice-President agree with your views on the FBI and the DoJ.

[Vinca]

23. But, apparently, no concerns about an American citizen passing documents to Russian spies.

That's what Carter Page was up to before being named to Trump's foreign policy team.
