GREG STEUBE: The real frustrating thing as a member of Congress is they used our intelligence surveillance system to surveil on American citizens, and they used a completely partisan political process to do it. They lied to the FISA court to get a warrant to surveil on these individuals. A secret court, not a normal court where you got to go in and get a warrant and prove evidence and all of that, and that's what's really frustrating is the use of our intelligence services and our surveillance services for political purposes.
