1:54 am
in an op-ed on foxnews.com. what would be your final word on it? >> you have to have accountability. not only billions of dollars spent to collect intelligence, lives are put at risk. to protect freedom and security. when we set up intelligence agencies after world war ii there was concern they could be used to spy on the american people, no one thought they could influence the outcome of an election and that is what adam schiff is doing, trying to destroy the president, middle himself in the 2020 election by abusing intelligence. we need to cut him off from offensive intelligence as soon as possible. heather: when you are abusing intelligence, who wins? russia. thank you for joining us, have a great weekend.
