This is a strong indication of the incompetency of this administration and Congress. I congratulate Mr. Baier for ending the propaganda and seeking the truth.
The Nunes memo is more than a piece of paper to seek continued support of the third of the voters in the USA that comprise the Republican base; it is an act of treason. Just that simple. The memo defames the very intelligence institutions the USA relies on to protect it's national security. The memo is a national security issue and it is not about to disappear as a political stunt.
It was prudent on the part of Rep. Goudy to come out and openly state the Russian investigation by Former Director Mueller will go forward as there are many factors involved in this investigation. As Vice Chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Goudy needs to issues a clarification to the reason and content of the Nunes Memo.
Rep. Goudy is reported to be leaving Congress at the end of this term for his own reasons. I wish him well in further endeavors. But, he has seen it necessary to state the Russian investigation is necessary. He also departs from President Trump in that the Nunes memo clears the President of any aspect of the Russian investigation. The President engages all too often in lies and propaganda to ignore the damage such statements cause the country.
I think the people of the USA can now land firmly on ridicule of a memo intended to defame the FBI and undermine a necessary investigation to the attempts by Russia to change the face of freedom and democracy in the USA.
I think Mr. Goudy for his candor. It is important to the sovereignty of the USA for every Congresswoman and Congressman to bring truth to their practice in their respective institutions.

Hours after the memo came out on Friday, Nunes gave an interview on Fox News during which anchor Bret Baier asked him if he wrote the memo. "Yes," Nunes replied, saying other Republican lawmakers, like House Oversight Committee chair Trey Gowdy, also contributed.
"Did you read the actual FISA applications," Baier asked, referring to the documents that the memo cites in part as evidence of improper conduct by US law-enforcement officials.
"No, I didn't," Nunes said, before adding that Gowdy was part of a designated group that reviewed the intelligence, took notes, and reported it back to committee members....
