Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1) posted the following two tweets after the declassification and public release of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence's memo detailing FISA abuse and misconduct:

"W/out dossier, there would've been no FISA warrant. Was admitted under oath by McCabe. DOJ/FBI already knew dossier's source was unreliable & shouldn't be used, but filed applic w/it anyways. Waited until after to fire Steele. Then applied for extensions on warrant anyways." This tweet can be viewed on Twitter here.

"Using secret docs in a secret court to spy must have highest safeguards to protect national sec AND civil liberties. FISA abuse is wrong. Almost all in DOJ/FBI are amazing, but the process & misconduct at highest levels here must be addressed w transparency & accountability." This tweet can be viewed on Twitter here.
