Opinion in Brief

Gary Bauer: “Washington is buzzing … about a ‘devastating report’ compiled by the House Intelligence Committee detailing widespread abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act by top officials of the Obama FBI and Justice Department. The abuse reportedly relates to how secret warrants were obtained to spy on the Trump campaign. Sources tell investigative reporter Sara Carter that the report is ‘explosive’ and could very well result in numerous officials being forced out of government. Several members of Congress who have read the report are demanding that it be released to the public. Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) described the report as ‘troubling’ and ‘shocking.’ ‘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,’ Meadows said. Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) said, ‘The classified report … is deeply troubling and raises serious questions about the upper echelon of the Obama DOJ and Comey FBI.’ ‘You think about, "Is this happening in America or is this the KGB?” That’s how alarming it is,’ Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) said. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) told Sean Hannity, ‘I believe there are people who will go to jail.’ Rep. Steve King (R-IA) called the report ‘sickening’ and ‘worse than Watergate.’ This is not a hard call for congressional leaders. Release the report and demand accountability! We have been focused on collusion with Russia, for which there is no evidence. This appears to be evidence of people who wanted us to become Russia — using the power of government to crush political opponents.“
