Our friend Sara Carter and Fox News’ Catherine Herridge have broken a bombshell report about a four-page memo circulating in Congress that reveals alleged United States government surveillance abuses. The memo is being described by lawmakers as “shocking,” “troubling” and “alarming,” with one congressman likening the details to KGB activity in Russia.

That such abuses were perpetrated during the Obama years will come as no bombshell to conservatives who have been following the Obama abuses of the intelligence capabilities of the U.S. government to spy on reporters and embarrass and intimidate political opponents.

Our friend, former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino, also breaks this down in his podcast and show notes. You can access them through this link. And we recommend subscribing to Dan's podcast for up-to-the-minute reports on what's going on with this scandal and other breaking news.

The real bombshell part of the report is, as Sara Carter reported, the House Intelligence Committee passed a motion to release the document to other Members of Congress and the vote was strictly along party lines!

Democrats opposed the motion to make the classified report alleging extensive ‘FISA Abuse’ related to the controversial Trump dossier available to all House members.

The report contains information regarding the dossier that alleges President Trump and members of his team colluded with the Russians in the 2016 presidential election. Some members of the House viewed the document in a secure room Thursday.

Speaking with Fox News, the lawmakers said they could not yet discuss the contents of the memo they reviewed on Thursday after it was released to members by the House Intelligence Committee. But they say the memo should be immediately made public.

“It is so alarming the American people have to see this,” Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan said.

“It's troubling. It is shocking,” North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows told Fox’s Catherine Herridge. “Part of me wishes that I didn't read it because I don’t want to believe that those kinds of things could be happening in this country that I call home and love so much.”

Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz told Herridge he believed people could lose their jobs after the memo is released.

“I believe the consequence of its release will be major changes in people currently working at the FBI and the Department of Justice,” he said, referencing DOJ officials Rod Rosenstein and Bruce Ohr.

“You think about, ‘is this happening in America or is this the KGB?’ That's how alarming it is,” Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry told Ms. Herridge.

Sara Carter reports the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday approved the motion by New York Rep. Pete King “The document shows a troubling course of conduct and we need to make the document available, so the public can see it,” said a senior government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the document. “Once the public sees it, we can hold the people involved accountable in a number of ways.”

The government official told Carter that after reading the document “some of these people should no longer be in the government.”

The document also apparently outlines “several problematic” issues with how FISA warrants were “packaged, and used” state several sources with knowledge of the report.

Congressional members are hopeful that the classified information will be declassified and released to the public, according to Ms. Carter’s report.

“We probably will get this stuff released by the end of the month,” stated a congressional member, who asked not to be named.

But the government official, who viewed the document told Sara Carter, “it will be tough for a lot of people to see this and especially the media, which has been attempting to deemphasize the dossier. It’s going to punch a hole in their collusion narrative.”

The House vote to make the report available to all members is a major step in exposing the long-guarded classified documents obtained by the House Intelligence Committee over the past year, reports Carter. It allows members of the House to view the report and could quickly lead to a motion to declassify the report for the public, numerous House members told this to Ms. Carter.

And that’s were CHQ readers and friends come in.
