“It’s terrible, You wanna know the truth? I think it’s a disgrace You wanna know what’s going on in this country, I think it’s a disgrace.
“The memo was sent to Congress, it was declassified; Congress will do whatever they’re going to do, but I think it’s a disgrace what’s happening in our country.
“And when you look at that and you see that and so many things, what’s going on, a lot of people should be ashamed of themselves, and much worse than that.
“So I sent it over to Congress, they will do what they’re going to do, whatever they do is fine. It was declassified, and let’s see what happens but a lot of people should be ashamed.”
