[ laughter ] [ in russian accent ] "i'm looking at the photo, mr. nunes. there is business in front and party in back. [ light laughter ] you -- you know this photo?" now, in this memo, nunes is claiming the government abused its surveillance powers as part of a conspiracy to target a political adversary. which might make you ask, "what's his background?" is it in espionage, counterintelligence, constitutional law? well, as the "daily beast" reported, the man charged with oversight of our nation's spies is a dairy farmer with three degrees in agriculture. nunes believes his agriculture background informs his work on intelligence due to his familiarity with various farming techniques that have overlapped with intelligence. so nunes and trump have at least one thing in common, their main qualification is that they can both identif

to release the information, it then became the nunes memo. we know that rod rosenstein went in to speaker brian office, don't give the information that has been subpoenaed. i want to know, rod rosenstein, he had 70s to explain this, and i suspect he's not going to want to answer again, and he's a guy that appointed mueller. how should this be handled from a legal standpoint when you have separation of powers, when you have oversight authority, as he once did? >> look at my devin nunes and trey gowdy and the crew is doing exactly the right thing, giving seven days, a very specific question, allow them to come up -- i'm proud of the fact that speaker brian is backing them in supporting. i would also encourage devin nunes to look for security clearance of their people. why do these people still have security clearances? you don't have a security clearance, you don't have a job. with these people, they are given great latitude, but the law and the guidance, as gregg pointed out, is very clear, and it looks as if it was clearly broken. >> sean: i

until chairman nunes seemed to get hold of this, that tradition was a grand one and a good one. now that tradition has been discarded by house republicans on the intelligence committee through this embarrassing episode that will historically go down as one of the lowest moments of any committee's actions in congress. let me say pointedly to my colleagues the senate intelligence committee has been quite different than the house committee. i salute both chairman burr and ranking member warner for trying to run things in a different way. let us hope that the senate intelligence committee does not go the way of the house and continues its bipartisan cooperation to get to the bottom of this mess. and that's because, mr. chairman, we have a responsibility to get to the bottom of what happened in 2016 and to report those findings in an unbiased way. if the house isn't going to do it, the senate must. i yield the floor. and notice the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. # quorum call:

nunes points out specific doj guidelines when it comes to fisa surveillance. he writes, quote: under the subsection fisa verification and accuracy procedures, the fbi illustrateself acknowledges this importance, quote: the accuracy of information contained within fisa applications is of the utmost importance, only documented and verified information may be used to support fbi applications, fisa warrants to the court. given this new information, chairman nunes, he is now demanding the doj explain if, in fact, these protocols are still in place. we already know the answer. they never verified this. and if they're, the chairman wants to know how officials will be punished for violating this law, lying to a fisa judge. and not following protocol. this letter also points out how using this false information in a fisa court, could violate several laws. look at them on the screen. 18 usc 242, using color of law to conduct a targeted investigation based on the pretext of law enforcement and have you 50 usc 1809, surveillance conducted under color of law in a manner no

[laughter] neil: that is a great ad. >> one of the most brilliant -- jim is his name. neil: great booking. >> thank you. my producer, frankie, get this guy, he was great on the air. neil: that's great. you know, we know where

i'll let devin nunes speak to that. he's capable of doing that. but i don't believe that -- again, i don't agree necessarily with the way you've described it or characterized it, but let me make another point if i could. you're saying, well, devin nunes did something we find kind of unusual or we can't understand. therefore, the committee and the work of the committee is irrelevant or biased or somehow flawed. you know, that would be like me saying that some of the things that, look, i could go down a long list of things that the ranking member mr. schiff has said that turned out not to be true or things that he's done. for example, when he was kind joked by a ukrainian radio station to thinking he was talking to investigators and trying to set up meetings with them. i therefore don't say everything he says, then is irrelevant or inaccurate or wrong. i think that would be unfair. you have to look at this in its totality. if you are disagreeing with chairman nunes on some action he took, to be fair, look at this in its totality. by the way, wait un

nunes fed up and issues a subpoena. now 2018, the chairman, a subpoena. >> sean: wait a minute, when they did they first ask for it? >> i asked for it in july of 2016 and issued a subpoena. >> sean: how do they get to ignore a subpoena? how do people get away that they could not keep me out of jail for? >> if you look at what the attorney general and the department of justice put out, they said they will review this request. a subpoena is not a request. if you were asked a subpoena and said i would take that under consideration -- everybody watching this program would go to jail. >> sean: what if i deleted it or acid washed my hard drive? >> that's why you need a special prosecutor will investigate these people. the only way congress can enforce a subpoena is through the department of justice. there is no avenue to get directly to a court. >> sean: i am happy the inspector general will investigate. we have been covering this forever. does that mean we have to wait another 4 months for the insp t inspector general report

we speak with congressman devon nunes and the white house's top trade policy advisor peter navarro. john bolton shifting things up in the united nations now he brings his hawkish views on north korea right to the white house as the next national security advisor. senator lindsay graham on why he's happy about that. plus, washington has plans for $1.3 trillion in taxpayer money after congress passes and president trump signs into law a new spending bill. general jack keane on how this could benefit the military we're looking ahead right now on sunday morning futures. president trump taking on the toughest and foreign policy challenges using the power of the pen to slap sweeping new tariffs and restrictions on china. sparking fears of a trade war south carolina senator lindsay graham is applauding the president's effort to address what he calls unfair trade practices by beijing. >> china is a manipulate or, a thief when it comes to intellectual property. they dump, they cheat and they're going to pay a price. keep it up president trump, you will win this fight, because china needs us

more particularly, especially since the nunes memo came out. how can the democrats be unhappy or think it is not going anywhere, the whole fisa abuse scandal, when they knew, meaning the fbi, and those that were involved in the application, the original fisa application, that hillary bought and paid for it, they never told the fisa judge that fact, and secondly, it all turned out, a lot of it turned out to be lies and none of it was corroborated or verified by the fbi, which is a matter of fisa law and fbi protocol. >> is a problem for democrats. after devin nunes came out with that republican memo, all kinds of criticism, taking information out of context, all kinds of allegations. when adamds schiff, the top democrat on the intelligence committee, has his bite of the apple, if you will, put out the democratic memo, it did not review the key findings you are laying out about alleged fisa abuse in the obama administration. michael horowitz, let's not forget, is someone who was first nominated to the senior federal post going back to the george

i go back to the nunes memo. people didn't pick up on this piece as much. but the idea that peter strzok is the one that started the so-called collusion investigation, he opened the case a couple of weeks after they shut down the hillary case, this famously anti-trump agent who said we needed an insurance policy. he gets it based off of 1078 random tip that some pop dop louse is saying these things drunk at a bar that didn't amount to criminal offenses even if true. so this thing from the stort has been exposed to something that should have never gotten to this case -- this level. and i think that, you know, mueller -- all of the cases he's brought, you don't need a special counsel for any of those. assign those to the justice department, manafort, all of these others. but th he needs to bring this ta conclusion to the american people can go on with our business. lou: and the president ought to be fully exonerated and the efforts to subvert his administration end and end straight forwardly and forth with. congressman, we thank you for your efforts which hav

nunes and ryan are old friends. nunes has endeared himself to the leadership by being a very energetic and eager puppy all along. and he has a lot of loyalty and a lot of fondness within the ranks of the leadership. but it's very, very tough for paul ryan to explain himself in both those examples. >> why does he tolerate the corruption of devin nunes, though? you just asserted something that is obvious. there is a corruption to the way devin nunes has gone about conducting his investigation over the grave concerns of the fbi. the fbi, which under christopher wray has done just about everything the president has wanted him to do, not always on his time line, but a andy mccabe son his way out. the general counsel is on his way out. all of the people donald trump has attacked on twitter under chris wray being reorganized, if you will, to the chagrin of many career lifelong fbi folks as i understand it. >> true. >> why is paul ryan going along with the corruption of the house intel committee? >> well, like many issues i

mark: we're back with chairman nunes. you were talking about fisa and flynn, what did you want to add there? >> what i say on the situation on general flynn, he was doing exactly what he should be doing, to talk to ambassadors as they're coming in. reports say that sally yates went and briefed the white house about concerns about general flynn and what i'd like to know, was she really -- sally yates, the deputy attorney general really telling the white house at the time that we have general flynn under investigation for the logan act? did that really happen? i'd like to know the answer to that. mark: unbelievable. >> the other issue you were talking about the fisa court, and you walked through what the fisa court knew, what was used before the fisa court in order to get the warrant on mr. page. let's also not forget that the court was never told that the democratic party and the hillary clinton campaign had fully funded the dirt that they were using to get the warrant on mr. page. mark: and we know the justice department

which eliminates a bit of a contrast between chairman nunes end of the president. yesterday ripped jeff sessions for putting an investigation into the hands of the inspector general, rather than watching launching a criminal investigation. the other thing that is new for the house intelligence committee is that questionnaire chairman nunes sent out to former members of the obama administration asking them to respond to ten questions. apparently a couple of those questionnaires have come back, some people have asked for more time. perhaps we will glean some more information when they return. >> melissa: thank you. >> jon: with the fbi under the microscope of attorney general jeff sessions earlier this week, order the justice department's internal watchdog to investigate allegations of surveillance abuse. that drew public criticism from president trump. an op-ed in "the wall street journal" says it sessions made the right move. "no one should underestimate the power of the inspector general. congress created after the nightmare of trying to pry information out of a c

nunes today wrote a letter to sessions. it says, in part, quote, the accuracy of information contained within fisa applications is of utmost importance. only documented and verified information may be used to support fbi application to the fisa court. congressman nunes is giving the justice department until march 8 to explain whether any criminal statutes were violated or whether the rules have been changed. speaking of the beleaguered and beseized attorney general, reports now surfacing that president trump has been referring to jeff sessions as mr. ma goo, a reference to the bumbling cartoon character and speculation of course rising as well about this photo, the three highest ranking officials in the justice department were dining out in washington last night as they show solidarity. sessions breaking bread with deposit any attorney general rod rosenstein and solicitor general noel francisco in an upscale restaurant across the street from the trump hotel. a little trolling it appears. joining me now, fox news legal analy

devin nunes has spent too much time talking to the white house. what are you going to do to protect us next time. instead they piss all over each other. >> got it wrong. >> the burden is going to be on that republican report to prove what, i mean, just any one watching what is in the public domain over the last few years. the burden is on them to prove what we have seen is not true. we know that vladimir putin developed an antipathy for hillary clinton. that is in the public record. we know that the social media campaign in 2016 and 2015 was targeted on hillary. they only hacked and leaked dnc material that damaged hillary clinton. we know a series of facts showing publicly, you don't have to know any classified intelligence to know what the relationship, what putin thought about this campaign. i interviewed last year, i was in europe and interviewed a former russian broadcaster who worked for state tv, he was told by superiors to cover the american campaign. the public state tv to cover hillary negatively and trump positively. this is a high burd

neil: ellison, thank you very much, devin nunes is asking the justice department to investigate fisa court application that ultimately approved wiretapping to carter page, you know that by now, with that house committee chairman representative devin nunes, congressman, thank you for taking the time. where does this stand right now, the back and forth over who knew what and when as you know the president has serious concerns about the idea of being fair arbitrator, what do you think about that? >> we continue to plot along and do our job under unsurmountable pressure from all sides, we have a a media that refuses to cover the issue at all. we have serious abuses that occurred in the fisa court against trump campaign. we will bring those back forward as we see them and what i sent out a couple of days ago was a letter to attorney general jeff sessions and harowitz, the ig, where we are on the investigation and what they should be looking at as far as fisa abuse. i was taxpayer to see attorney general jeff sessions appoint harowitz because we welcome more people investigating the seriou

now sh now, devin nunes won this in a very red area, and why do you think that you can win? >> thank you, ryan, for having me on this week, and again. and any time a first-time candidate for congress who raises $1 million in a month mean means you have a chance. >> what do you at tribute the surge to? because of the role that devin nunes has been playing or the representation in your district? >> well, it is a combination of both. now more than ever, i believe that the people in the district want good people in government and while the vast ma r jor toif the americans are beginning to question this administration's integrity and competency and now more than ever we need good people to go to congress to perform congress' constitutional check on the executive branch. while my opponent is in washington fooling around on the committee, the message at home is being forgotten and it is starting to resonate not only in district, but across the country. >> and we mentioned that the 22nd district has been republican district for a long time, and the republican won that district by te

>> you're right about nunes. he is going to look rather foolish. >> my best questions for you guys. >> who else are you going to use them on? >> i think resentment got him elected. he didn't get the most votes. but i think trump was elected because of the anger against the establishment in both parties. they hated the establishment and their party. then he ran against the democrat establishment and beat her. beat her in the electoral college. here is the question. will that same sentiment sheer resentment against the elite, if you will, work for trump a second time, or does he need a totally new mission and message or shouldn't run again? because he will not run and win with the same message. >> two points. one i've heard more than a few democrats say the reason trump won is he followed barack obama, to your point of resentment. you couldn't have trump if we didn't have obama. and regardless of whether or not you interest elite, handy is the elite, you can say the media's got me down. >> the second time, will it

what nunes rightly is seeking are answers to how these officials found out about the dossier. who told them about it, and then what they did with that information. now, the "wall street journal," their editorial board, they are raising some very important, serious questions. and making key points about the dossier. for example, the editorial board points out that if hillary clinton and the dnc, they are paying the 12 million bucks for the dossier, with russian sourced lies. and fusion gps would have almost certainly shown them what their money bought. now, former senate minority leader harry reid also referenced what was in the dossier. remember this point? he sent that letter to james comey at the end of october 2016. this was only days before the election. clearly the dossier was not some closely held secret. in terms of officials all across the obama administration obviously knew about it harry reid knew about it. so, it's now time for all of them to respond and tell us, you, we, the american people what did they know and when did they know it? this dossier scandal stretche

he is setting up chairman nunes against the men and women of the fbi. but that is not how republicans have raised this so far, is that a false linac false issue that you are going after the men and women of the bureau? >> of course it is, there is so much of what you said that is nonsense, but since you chose it, let's start. any agency or organization within the federal government above any oversight or above any reproach, of course not. i was a member of the united states military, we had enormous power. but with that power came an enormous responsibility. and we would ask the same thing of the fbi and the department of justice. and by the way, i have been contacted by more than a few fbi agents that have said, thank you for doing this. they recognize we are not attacking every member of the agency and not attacking every fbi agent. we are trying to hold a few people, who are their leadership accountable. they want us to do that. how in the world can you say that to this by asking for accountability from the leadership is a broad sweeping attack on th

claim nunes is right. to date after tenth months, not one bit of evidence there was coordination between the trump campaign and russians to influence the election. the letter that chairman nunes sent to president 24 people, most of them associated with the obama administration asking them key questions about the dossier, that's the information that i want to get ahold of. >> trish: it's not been released. >> we don't know what they knew, when they got it, who they got it from, who did they share it with. did they talk to the white house about it. those are important questions and those answers are due back now. if they don't come back, chairman nunes has indicated he will subpoena the individuals just like mr. mueller subpoenaed folks. chairman nunes will subpoena folks to get those answers. >> trish: what is sad about this, so it's so political. the american people deserve answers. >> yes. >> trish: and yet we don't know what happened. i look at this fake dossier thing that read like a piece of tabloid tr

we've seen nunes reinsert himself many times into this investigation, whether he's openly lied to the president, fabricating documents or situations to help out the case of the president. he's not at all been forthright, and he essentially is the head of, i would say, the head of a cover-up, at least occurring here in congress. >> cover-up is a strong word, but let me get to other issues while i have you. last hour, president trump addressed the latino coalition summit here in washington. he said he's ready for a deal on the so-called dreamers under daca, the deferred action he sa. >> we're trying to have a dac ark victory for everybody, by the way. the democrats are nowhere to be found. they're nowhere to be found. really terrible. we're ready. you know the expression, ready, willing, and able. we're ready, willing, and able. they're nowhere to be found. they don't care about the immigration system or reform, and they don't want to solve the problem. they would rather use it to get elected. >> all right. what's your reaction to that, congressman? >> just lunacy. this president had ma
