"SNIP.......

(CNN)Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr told CNN Tuesday he believed there were "sound reasons" for judges to approve the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant on former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page, in yet another break between the Republican leaders of the House and Senate intelligence committees.

"I don't think I ever expressed that I thought the FISA application came up short," Burr said when asked about House Republican memo alleging FBI and Justice Department abuses of the FISA process. "There (were) sound reasons as to why judges issued the FISA."

Burr's comments once again put him at odds with House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, who spearheaded the memo on FISA abuses.

Burr and Nunes have been on opposite sides of a number of key issues related to the Justice Department and intelligence community's handling of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

1. "Burr and Nunes have been on opposite sides of a number of key issues..."

Long story short: Burr is a patriotic American. Nunes* the Liar is a Putin* stooge.

2. Off to the greatest page

He should not have dumped the Senate Report on a holiday weekend

[Achilleaze]

6. Still, the corporate mass media should not have ignored it

especially as republican misleader Dirty Donny* then shamed himself by meekly ASSUMING THE POSITION for pooty poot. Cowardly, disgraceful, and unpatriotic.

7. The Report should have been released during a press

Conference.

3. K&R!! Good to see this!! eom

[gratuitous]

4. Democrats in Disarray!

It's the only reasonable conclusion to draw. "Oh, you Democrats don't like Devin Nunes and his loose-cannon ways? Well, what about Richard Burr, huh? HUH? Pwned again, libtards!"

And once again, the media narrative is saved.

5. This is GOOD! Nunes needs to have his ass whipped.

Devin Nunes (CA-traitor) is getting lots of media lately and it ain’t good! Hey Press? Pile on!
