“A reminder as we wait for the release of this memo that the Republican Party’s very public war with the FBI is not normal.

“It is not normal for the GOP chair of the House Intel committee to refuse to share a classified document of mutual interest with the GOP chair of the Senate Intel Committee. It is not normal for the agency that was the source of the classified material, in this case the D.O.J. to be excluded from the declassification process.
