President Trump's ousted FBI Director James Comey, who has been defending the Bureau's credibility since it came under attack, ripped the House Intelligence Committee and Trump for releasing the classified Nunes memo.

Why it matters: Comey, who has consistently criticized the Trump administration since his firing, is asking the questions that White House aides considered before Trump gave his approval, per Axios' Jonathan Swan: was the release of the memo worth the political cost? Comey doesn't think so.
