Former Trump deputy assistant: Nunes memo '100 times bigger' than the abuses that led to the American revolution

Sebastian Gorka, former deputy assistant to Donald Trump, on Monday described Devin Nunes’ controversial memo detailing allegations of abuse by the FBI and Department of Justice as “100 times bigger” than the events that lead to the American revolution.

Gorka was speaking with Fox News’ Sean Hannity about the Nunes memo, which House Republicans on Monday voted to release—against the recommendations of the Department of Justice.

“It's kind of for some it's hard to believe,” Hannity said. “Now that the evidence has been mounting and mounting and one smoking gun after another.”

“It has to be put in the context of the history of our great nation,” Gorka replied. “Remember, why was America created? It was created because of the usurpation of power, the capricious usurpation by a leader thousands of miles away.”

“That's why America was created,” he continued. “It was about tea tax, and stationing troops on private property without permission. This is 100 times bigger. This is our government spying on political adversaries. This is federal law enforcement officials obstructing justice. You listed all of the things Clinton and her team did. But let’s not forget that the FBI destroyed the laptops that were part of the Clinton investigation. Who gave that order?”
