Today's Senate Intelligence Committee hearing with top intelligence directors is about intelligence collection under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). But Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) is having none of it.
- Warner wants the committee to use today's hearing to ask Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein about his role in the firing of Former FBI Director James Comey.
- Warner will question the Director of National intelligence, Dan Coats, and NSA Director, Admiral Mike Rogers about reports that Trump asked them to downplay the Russia investigation.
- His quote: "Because if any of this is true, it would be an appalling and improper use of our intelligence professionals – an act that could erode the public's confidence in our intelligence institutions."
