Additionally, we believe that wider distribution of the classified information presumably contained within your memorandum would represent a significant deviation from the terms of access negotiated in good faith by the Department, HPSCI, and the Office of Speaker Paul Ryan. ”

“ As you know, we have provided HPSCI with more than 1,000 pages of classified documents relating to the FBI‘s relationship, if any, with a source and its reliance, if any, on information provided by that source.
