Rep. Mark Meadows said on Wednesday that Democrats are in a panic because "there is information coming that will curl your hair," referring to the expected declassification of key documents related to the Russia investigation.

During an interview on Fox News, the North Carolina Republican said Democrats, and in particular House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, know that when these documents come out it will be trouble for them.

"There is information coming that will curl your hair. I can tell you that the reason why it is so visceral — the response from the Democrats is so visceral right now — is because they know, they've seen documents. Adam Schiff has seen documents that he knows will actually put the finger pointing back at him and his Democrat colleagues, not the president of the United States," he told host Sean Hannity.

Democrats in the House are engaged in a multi-pronged effort to investigate President Trump, his inner circle, and his finances. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told Fox News on Tuesday that this is all a "coordinated effort to take down the president."

Meanwhile Meadows and his GOP colleagues are hotly anticipating Trump to declassify documents any day now that they believe will include transcripts between FBI informants and former Trump campaign associate George Papadopoulos. Former Rep. Trey Gowdy said over the weekend this has “the potential to be a game changer.”

At least three federal investigations into alleged FISA abuse and other matters related to the way the FBI and the Justice Department conducted the Trump-Russia investigation and several top ex-officials, including former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey, are under increasing scrutiny.


Asked by Hannity if he knows if Comey spied, Meadows said the former director was without a doubt privy to misconduct.

"He, actually, he was aware of it. He was aware of improper things that were being done, certainly," Meadows said.

Actually it's about information that shows one side versus making a case for why intelligence had every reason to go after Trump's campaign administration. The GOP did that every time there was a classified hearing when they were in control, expose out of context things and refuse to declassify the part that puts it in context...people are either profoundly stupid or intentionally and willfully ignorant, and I suspect the latter. I have had conservative friends actually say they don't want to see underlying facts, they are fine with what they "know".
