Trump says people should be 'ashamed,' McCain says the Nunes memo does Putin's bidding

Just after Donald Trump declassified Rep. Devin Nunes’ sham memo alleging DOJ and FBI wrongdoing, he told the press, “A lot of people should be ashamed of themselves.” GOP Sen. John McCain, chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, had a different take.

The latest attacks on the FBI and Department of Justice serve no American interests – no party’s, no president’s, only Putin’s. https://t.co/6dsbcBIla6

McCain added: “Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation must proceed unimpeded.”

As for Trump, asked in the Oval Office whether he had confidence in Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, he said, “You figure that one out.”

And that, my friends, has the makings of a Constitutional crisis.

But if you’re looking for initial excerpts of the memo, better tune into Fox News—somehow that purely partisan station otherwise known as Trump’s mouthpiece got first look.

Stay tuned… there’s plenty more to come today and it probably doesn’t involve jobs numbers or Trump’s empty calls for unifying the country.
