Wolf Blitzer really goes after Republican Chris Stewart, and he doesn’t really have much to respond.
He literally just says he doesn’t want to talk about his questions:
From the Hill:
CNN host Wolf Blitzer on Friday grilled a Republican on the House Intelligence Committee for releasing a controversial memo alleging improper surveillance of a Trump campaign adviser without a Democrat-written memo countering its claims.
“If you’re so confident, congressman, why didn’t you release the Democratic minority report, the 10 pages that they wrote rebutting many of the points you’re making right now?” Blitzer asked Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah) in an interview.
“Why not release them simultaneously?” Blitzer added, noting that was what the committee has done in his decades of reporting on the panel.
Stewart said that the Democratic memo had not been “scrubbed” yet, attempting to assure Blitzer that Republicans would vote to release it in due time.
There are some pretty obvious holes in the Republican story and this is a big one. They should have released the Democrat memo and if it’s full of lies, defeat the lies. This just looks kinda squirrelly, especially when Stewart doesn’t even want to talk about it….
