foxnews | A four-page memo circulating in Congress that
reveals alleged United States government surveillance abuses is being
described by lawmakers as “shocking,” “troubling” and “alarming,” with
one congressman likening the details to KGB activity in Russia.
Speaking with Fox News, the lawmakers
said they could not yet discuss the contents of the memo they reviewed
on Thursday after it was released to members by the House Intelligence
Committee. But they say the memo should be immediately made public.
“It is so alarming the American people have to see this,” Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan said.
“It's troubling. It is shocking,” North Carolina Rep.
Mark Meadows said. “Part of me wishes that I didn't read it because I
don’t want to believe that those kinds of things could be happening in
this country that I call home and love so much.”
Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz said he believed people could lose their jobs after the memo is released.
“I believe the consequence of its release will be major
changes in people currently working at the FBI and the Department of
Justice,” he said, referencing DOJ officials Rod Rosenstein and Bruce
Ohr.
“You think about, ‘is this happening in America or is
this the KGB?’ That's how alarming it is,” Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry
said.
