Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said the information released in the GOP memo Friday was “cherry picked” to present a misleading picture. He also countered that the FISA warrant would have been pursued without the Steele dossier.
"[The memo] cherry picks information from Director Mccabe’s testimony before our committee,"Schiff told reporters Friday. "What he was describing is that the FISA application relies on all of the components in the application, each and every component, and only in that sense is it fair to say that if you take out any piece of it then the application would not be complete.
“The important things are very select parts of what Christopher Steele reported, related to Carter Page, were included within the FISA application and some of those were already subject to corroboration,"
