They weren't happy, either, when the House Intelligence Committee, led by Devin Nunes, finished its 2018 report showing how the FBI and Department of Justice abused the secret intelligence court.
The Democrats' main line of attack was that Trump had colluded with the Russians, that the FBI had every right to investigate this criminal and possibly treasonous behavior, and that the FBI and DoJ carried out their work "By the book," as approved by the FISA court.
Now, after reams of evidence have come out, we know how groundless Schiff's defense of the FBI and DoJ really was.
How did Director Wray respond when the Nunes report became public? Did he tell his agents it was a dark day for the FBI but one that would brighten as the bureau faced up to its errors and undertook fundamental reforms? No. Did he apologize for the FBI's illegal actions and promise to do better? No. He simply reassured bureau employees that their "Work will endure" and that others' "Talk is cheap."
We still don't have such key documents as the FBI agents' first-hand report of their interview with Flynn.
How can citizens possibly understand the misdeeds of the FBI and Mueller team if essential information remains secret? The American people deserve to know what went wrong and why.
Since the FBI has been unwilling to come clean on its own, Barr needs to appoint someone who will do it for them.
