McCabe says he briefed Gang of 8 in 2017 that FBI was going after Trump. Top GOP guy on House Intel says he can't comment on briefing but adds it would be "preposterous to deny that the FBI was investigating Donald Trump from the moment it opened its investigation in mid-2016.”
Unclear if McCabe is telling truth now or then (i.e., even if briefing happened, doubtful that he disclosed thin basis, or 25th Amendment/wearing wires plots etc.) But unless you're a Russia conspiracy theorist, you might be concerned that McConnell/Ryan were so cavalier about it
For those asking: Republicans in Gang of 8 at that time were Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, Richard Burr, Devin Nunes. Only one of those individuals (Nunes) has performed any real oversight of FBI -- and done so in face of major opposition from Resistance (media/Dems/NeverTrump).
