FOX NEWS: Ratcliffe questions political motivations behind Trump campaign investigation

But let me take you back to a testimony by Michael Daniel, who was President Obama's cyber chief, chief. And he was speaking before the Senate where he basically admitted that his boss told him to stand down on an investigation. Listen to this. But as far as your cyber response, you were told to stand down. Is that correct? We were. Those actions were put on the back burner. Yes, we were. And that was not the focus of our activity during that time period. So Susan Rice told Michael Daniel not to worry about Russia meddling in an election, Congressman? Well, as the chairman of the Cybersecurity Subcommittee on Homeland in the House, I got to tell you, I was so astonished to hear that testimony from Michael Daniel. Let me put it in context. On July 31st of 2016, you have the Obama administration initiating an aggressive investigation into the Trump campaign under the pretext or pretense that it's about national security and fear that the Trump campaign may be colluding with the Russians to interfere with our election. A week later, you have Obama administration officials telling our own cyber chief to stand down to any Russian efforts to respond to their efforts to interfere with our election. Those two positions are incongruous. And it raises a really fair question about whether the Trump investigation was really about national security or whether it was about a political agenda, especially when you layer on top of that who they assigned, Peter Strzok and a bunch of Trump-hating to investigate President Trump. Keep it right there, Congressman. It's hard not to reach some dark conclusions.
