On Friday, February 2, President Trump agreed to release a memo written by the House Intelligence Committee about FBI surveillance activity of the members of the Trump campaign that occurred before the President took office. Those opposed to the release of the Nunes Memo, named for the Representative whose aids drafted the memo, argue that the release goes against intelligence protocol and is being utilized by Republicans to distract from the investigation in Russian interference in the 2016 election. Proponents of the release argue that it should be public to show the American people the actions of the FBI preceding the election. David Rivkin joins us to discuss the memo release and its possible effects.
