citizens not specifically targeted in the fisa laurent. fbi and doj officials submitted an unverified -- failing to disclose that christopher steele was hired by the firm fusion gps, hired by the hillary clinton campaign to prepare this dossier, and that the source was unreliable and soon to be terminated as a source. informedcourt was not christopher steele was opposed to the election of donald trump, he was the sole source cited in it the eye reports, and -- cited in fbi reports. the fbi's mandatory vetting processes required for all fisa applicants instituted to ensure all the facts anre verified to support probable cause for warrant were not followed. former director comey admitted in sworn testimony june 8, 2016 that material contained in the steele dossier was known to be salacious and unverified. since fisa laurent applications are rarely turn down or a must never subject to appeal or presented with no public record with the government is not challenged by any defense, it is imperative to take extra care to validate the information

before being submitted to the fisa court. it was further not disclosed to the court that the wife of bruce for worked for fusion gps and that christopher steele directly transmitted the dossier through bruce orr for submission to the fisa court. with regards to the trump russia probe. to this day that has not been evidence that donald trump colluded with russians to win the 2016 election. there is no evidence president trump committed any crime to win the election. the initial fbi probe into the was launched in july 2016 based on questionable intelligence and biased motivations. as we have learned in recent days, doj, fbi or both appeared to have planted at least one person into donald trump's presidential campaign to infiltrate and surveilled campaign. text messages between fbi agents and fbi counsel during a period of august 16th 2016 to may 17, 2017 contain serious evidence of political bias, improbable -- improper handling of the investigation. the texts contain evidence of bias, including lisa page stating, trump should

warrant from a fisa judge just by on the trump campaign. that dossier was never verified. neversi corroborated. it has now been debunked and literally, they never told the judge that hillary clinton andn the dnc, whose finances she wasr controlling, paid for it. it is outrageous. this is theun united states of america. now remember, here is the who's who, if you will come of robert mueller, who he hired to lead the special counsel investigation. what do we see? a bunch of big-time democratic donors, including "the new york times" referred to as his pitbull, andrew weissmann. he's given thousands of dollars to democrats. remember, we have disclosed his very aggressive tactics. they have caused multiple overturns and wrongful convictions, countless lies at andersen accounting, maryland, elsewhere. let's not forget the trump-hating fbi lovebirds, peter strzok, he helped author hillary clinton's exoneration before overseeing the interviewh months later. of course, he was so blatantly biased, he was removed from the investigation of robert muell

you put spies and you lie to fisa judges? >> i think the number one thing the average everyday american can take from this, the corruption was so deep at the top. remember, we're not taking about the every day fbi agent doing their job. we're talking about people at the top. they were so corrupt and so arrogant that they thought they could get away with anything. so they just proceeded down the road, protecting hillary, covering uphillry, giving immunity to people breaking the law and going after trump and going after trump supporters. when all of this comes out as one in a way that is easy to understand, which may take another year or 1 1/2 years because there's so much of it. every time we turn around, another piece unravels. you've had more big stories in the last 1 1/2 years than i would have thought possible. again and again, you've been right and inch by inch even "the new york times" is starting to concede. by the way, mark penn's column today is a real break-through. here you have a genuine inqualified member of the l

fisa application. sally yates signed one. >> i mean, so what? [laughs] so what? >> sean: the bulk of it was hillary clinton bought and paid for foreign intelligence filled russian lies. they never corroborated it. >> i'll follow up on what rush said. of course if it wasn't spying, they should have come to the trump campaign. they could have come to me, my goodness,me i was the fbi man of the year that year. they could have come to me and they could have told me, and i could have briefed the president, or they could have briefed the president. >> sean: that would have been in the spring of 2016. the president never met carter page. ever, to this day, he never met carter page. >> he has a direct most of these people. he hasn't met most of these people that they alleged -- and they have not alleged collusion on the part of anybody, even those russians, the phony indictment they had of the russians, who will never come here for trial. they colluded with each other, russians, losing, colluding. oh, wow. rus

and i talked about fisa abuses and the fisa judge and a two-tiered justice system, equal justice under the law, have i been wrong at all? tell me, i would love to tell the american people. >> you are right back in 2015 when i first started focusing on that chart i made, i have it on my cell phone. they are still not investigated. you're not wrong >> sean: but russia collusion what was wrong with donald trump. >> russia collusion is fake new news. unfortunately, it has become the basis of the investigation. mueller owes us a report saying the russia collusion means nothing, it didn't happen. it means the whole investigation was unnecessary. all the rest of it came out of it whether the person or the political, none of it is relevant. meanwhile, the man is trying to deal with north korea, come on. and they want me to go to him and say let's take two weeks off to get you ready for a deposition? >> sean: this has gotten personal for those that are after the president. >> of course it has come it's totally personal. look at the press corps. look at the correspondents dinner on saturday nigh

the fisa court is not explained. this came out in the devon nunez memo from the house intelligence committee, that what the fisa court saw from the fbi, this fusion gps dossier advance as reasons to begin electronic surveillance a carter page, fairly permanent member of the trump campaign at this point. i do not believe, and we have not yet seen the actual fisa court arguments or representations. from those who have seen it it seems clear, the fisa court was not told the fbi cannot substantiate the claims, could not authenticate the dossier. the dossier had an origin and opposition research. it would be to material facts that would have to convince the court not to grant the electronic surveillance. for the officers of the court, the fbi and whoever made the arguments of the fisa court not to solely represent an inaccurate form is a crime. >> host: there something called -- procedures developed under mueller when he was head of the fbi to guarantee that no facts presented to the fisa court can be an unverified fact.

these documents are associated with the fisa applications. remember, they were focused crispies and applications starting inta october 21st, 201, and then it rolled all the way to september, 2017, that seven-months into president trump's administration. and these were all on carter page but they also brought in a dragnet of everyone that carter page spoke to and possibly people that those people spoke to. now there was evidence attached to these fisa applications. remember, it is not just the dossier. there was other extenuating evidence that was attached. these are probably part of the documents that they are requesting. remember, this was a classified letter that nunes sent. no one has seen it. what is important now, sean, is that they get those documents because the house intelligence committee and the senate judiciary --he speed when there is something that no one in american robotics forr hillary clinton. >> that's right. these are held on servers that are highly guarded and protected at the fbi. i don't believe -- i'm not 100% positive

we know there was a spy supposedly on top of the fisa abuse. he never had any right to do this in the first place. take a look. >> we have yet to see any crab dolomite crab, credible evidence or intelligence that led to thee investigation. they should have opened -- counterintelligence investigations are very rarely do they happen, and when they do happen, you have to be very careful because you are using the tools of our intelligence services and relationships with other countries in order to spy on a political campaign, probably not a good idea. >> sean: the powerful tools of intelligence used to spy on an opposition party candidate and to those powerful tools used against americans, no, that can't happen here. so there was never any actual credible evidence to launch this investigation. of course rod rosenstein conflicted. this is a stunning statement by devin nunes. that is on top of of course the fbi, doj lying, misleading fisa judges, multiple times in order to get a fisa warrant to spy on a trump campaign associate in the weeks leading u

youu also have the massive abuse of power fisa abuse, lying to fisa judges on four occasions, spying on carter page, using a clinton bought and paid for dossier, not telling the doctors that case, never verifying, corroborating, national security letters, the fbi bypassing all judicial approval to obtain phone records by using these national security letters, in other words, the power of our intelligence community. we saw the unmasking, a dramatic 350% increase from key obama officials. wow, magically, and the 2016 election year. changinggi the rules, remember, december of 2016, clapper making it easier to share intelligence across all these government agencies. that helps them cover. media strategy. clapper, brennan, regulars and the liberal media, clapper reportedly leaking details about this phone he bought and paid for russian dossier to fake news cnn where he now works and is paid. leaking anonymous sources. they have been running too friendly outlets to selectively put out information all designed to b propagandize and lie to the american people and damage president trump. frie

they should have thoroughly read through the fisa application. they should know exactly what they are signing off on. and it should not just be ignorance.liey >> sean: who do we know signed off on those applications? we had the original application? then we had the three subsequent applications, that is a year. and comey still says he has no idea what was in the dossier. the bulk of information used to obtain that warrant.ll >> and comey not only says that, he said that he did not even know, he could not even say that hillary clinton campaign and that the democratic national committee actually paid for the dossier. he kept trying to blame the republicans even though we have evidence out there that in april when the hillary clinton campaign and the dnc took over with fusion gps, then they hired christopher steele, that former british spy on the dossier. there is one lie after another after another. as for the extortion bitit that rosenstein tried to say -- >> sean: who are these guys that signed off on an unverified, uncorroberatedhe russian dossi

advanced by the fbi and the fisa court does not explain in the memo that when that fisa court saw from the fbi this fusion gps dossier, advanced as reasons to begin electronic surveillance on carter page. a fairly peripheral member of the trump campaign at this point.i do not believe, and we have not yet seen the actual fisa court arguments of the representation but from those who have seen it, it seems pretty clear that fisa court was not pulled the fbi could not substantially the claims. could not authenticate this dossier and the dossier had an origin in opposition research which would i think be material facts that might have convinced the court not to grant the electronic surveillance. and for the officers of the court, the fbi and whoever made the arguments at the fisa court not to fully represent inaccurate form of the document is a crime. >> host: i also documented the fbi sources, there's something called woods procedures that were developed under mueller when he was head of the fbi. they guarantee that no fact is presented to the fisa court can be an unverified fact and if on

the fisa court failed us. the fisa court failed us. we have these national security letters that are supposed to be used in extreme circumstances being used. a cabal of fbi agents who took it upon themselves to investigate a candidate and his campaign, and then we have of course actual spies, one or more, and the trump campaign. what is this? this on the stomach soviet union, venezuela? at the united states of america. let me say this. once mr. mueller turns over his report to mr. rosenstein, the president should do two things. he should pick his favorite united states attorney, not favored because they are cows, most confident they can, give them an assignment. i don't care what jeff sessions does. he is the president. tell him, i want you to t investigate the activities that took place in this election, let the chips fall where they may come of the interference of a selection by the fbi, the cia, national intelligence, i want to know what genre and ended, i want to know it collaborated, i want to know what comey did, not because i'm

they're not going to lie. >> sean: what about the spying and the fisa court abuse? >> you have to go to jail for that. it's one thing to lie even in a criminal case. another thing to lie in a counter intelligence probe. also, the fisa judges rely even more than a criminal court -- >> sean: rod rosenstein signed the final application. sally yates signed one. >> so what? so what? >> sean: the bulk of it was hillary clinton bought and paid for, foreign intelligence bit russian lies and they never corroborated it. >> i'll follow up on what rush said. of course if it wasn't spying, they should have come to the trump campaign. they could have come to me. i was the fbi man of the year that year. they could have come to me and they could have told me and i could have briefed the president or they could have briefed the president. >> sean: that would have been in the spring of 2016. the president never met carter page, ever to this day. >> he hasn't met most of these people that they alleged -- and they haven't alleged collusion on the part of anybody. the even russians, the

we have fisa abuse. we know outright judges were lied to in literally the single biggest intrusion into a person's constitutional rights, a fisa warrant. four times they lied, the bulk of information, that phony dossier. they never told the judge who paid for it or judges. >> the department of justice says, don't worry, we can investigate ourselves even though, as you say, they took a dossier to a secret court to get a warrant. didn't tell the court that the author of the document, christopher steele, had been fired. even though it now appears there were paid informants hanging around the periphery of the trump campaign. >> sean: think of what you're saying. spied on the campaign, lying to judges to get fisa warrants to spy on an opposition party candidate with propaganda from russia put together by a foreign national that was full of lies and literally they don't tell the judges. i cannot believe -- i wouldn't write this in a spy novel, because i wouldn't think anybody would believe it. >> jeff sessions

in the united states, and fisa abuse and spying on americans and lying to fisa court judges. we better not become venezuela. that is how serious this all is becoming. still to come tonight, the president has a big decision. he will announce it tomorrow on the iranian nuclear deal. ed henry has the latest out of washington. then sebastian gorka and daniel hopkins. stay with us. a lot of news. you might take something for your heart... or joints. but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is the number one selling brain-health supplement in drug stores nationwide. prevagen. the name to remember. ♪ he eats a bowl of hammers at every meal ♪ ♪ he holds your house in the palm of his hand ♪ ♪ he's your home and auto man ♪ big jim, he's got you covered ♪ ♪ great big jim, there ain't no other ♪ -so, this is covered, right? -yes, ma'am. take care of it for you right now. giddyup! hi! this is jamie. we need some help. - [nar we need to help more tocalifornians get ahead.d, that's why antonio villaraigosa brought

>> i have looked at, worked on, signed off on fisa warrant. you could always say there's a little thing, that little thing. but really the court is relying on the government to act in good faith and to be using the brown powers that the foreign intelligence surveillance act gives to the government in a trustworthy way. i can't believe that the fbi went for a fisa warrant on these two guys, carter page and george papadopoulos, who seem like -- i am sorry. they don't seem like serious characters. if you're going to really go after, you thought there was really a serious conspiracy, you would've gone after higher up people. i don't see why the fbi didn't just bring in papadopoulos and carter page and ask them questions under oath. >> shannon: okay. unfortunately we are out of time. i feel like i can do an hour with you. unfortunately we have to wrap it up. >> i would love to challenge, not because he's he's a good lawyer. i wish we had more time. >> shannon: i do too. we would love to have you back. this case is not going away anytime soon. pleas

the false fisa warrants were obtained through lying to the fisa court. when all is said and done, mr. mr. john huber, constructing the grand jury to investigate the unmasking, lying on the fisa court, and the leaking of information to the press, it will be shown without a shadow of a doubt, the reason mr. brennan has been lying in congressional testimony from the beginningth is because he knew that if he told the truth, he would reveal the plot that involved all the people. and that story in "the new york times" today is a magnificent piece of evidence that there was in fact a plot. after all the denials, they say now that this operation hurricane was in fact -- >> sean: cross fire hurricane. >> was exactly what we have been saying for a year. there t was an effort to underme the candidacy of the opposition party. this is the most unbelievable scandal in the history of this country, and "the new york times"us just blew the lid off of it inadvertently. >> sean: last word. >> he is absolutely right. >> sean: can i just say one thing? this really is about h

the fisa application, what was in that application on carter page? and the people that signed it, they should know better. they should have thoroughly read through the fisa application, they should know exactly what they are signing off on. and it should not just be ignorance. >> sean: who do we know signed off on those applications? we had the original application? then we had the three subsequent applications, that is a year. and comey still says he has no idea what was in the dossier. the bulk of information used to obtain that warrant. >> and comey not only says that, he said that he did not even know, he could not even say that hillary clinton campaign and that the democratic national committee actually paid for the dossier. he kept trying to blame the republicans even though we have evidence out there that in april when hillary clinton campaign and the dnc took over with fusion gps, then they hired christopher steele, that former british spy on the dossier. there is one lie after another after another. that is for the extortion bit that rosenst

when did that tell the fisa court judges four times? that this was paid for by hillary. >> well, sean, obviously it's been known for some time. we've been talking about it for more than a year. that part of the brazen plot, which included exonerating hillary clinton illegally and then if donald trump won to figure out a way to frame him. the fbi and the senior doj officials and john brennan and james clapper and james comey set about on a plot to frame donald trump and the people in his campaign. they used all sorts of means and methods to do that, including the use of an agent provocateur that was unleashed on the campaign on the soil of a foreign country and as a result of interviews in the campaign, asking them who approached you? a person that you never knew before and started asking questions about foreign policy and seeing if they could "help the campaign." it's now known who that agent provocateur was that the fbi used and john brennan used and james clapper. tonight there's a flurry of concern in washington in the law enforcemen

in addition to lying to the fisa judges four times to get the fisa warrant to spy on the trump campaign the f.b.i. is using secret spies. was there another secret subpoena? it sounds like the deep state was using every option available to go after the trump campaign. by the way, after they of course rigged the hillary investigation. here is another significant quote that matches our reporting. days after they closed their investigation into hillary clinton's use of a private e-mail server, agents began scrutinizing the campaign of her republican rival. the times ads both of the investigation -- the times adds both investigations were made up of a small group of the same top officials. so the same officials that rigged the clinton e-mail investigation even though we know she broke laws and obstructed justice. then they. we after donald trump and set the sights on him. is this shocking part that directly implicates here john kerry and barack obama. nobody has picked up on this. australian officials broke with diplomatic protocol, allowed the ambassador alexander downer to sit for an f.b.i

that becomes the basis for a fisa warrant? clapper is lashing out at the president, he doesn't like being called a liar, which he is. let's watch. >> the president tweeted about you, "clapper is a lying machine who now works for fake news." first of all, what was your reaction to that when you saw that? >> well, the president is calling me a lying machine. well, okay. what that stems from as an exchange i had with senator ron wyden five years ago, in march of 2013, about surveillance program and he was asking me about one and i was thinking about another. so i made a mistake but i didn't lie. >> sean: just like hillary made a mistake, she has had watched her hard drive. as i've been saying, clapper, they have the right remained silent. i have some friendly advice, i tried to give it to jim comey. stop talking. lawyer up. a storm is coming. demoted doj official bruce ohr isuc another one of these deep state minions who is feeling the heat tonight to play the senate judiciary committee chairman chuck grassley, he wants to see al

"the times" adds that both these investigations were made up of a small group of the same top officials, so the same officials that rigged the clinton email investigation, even though we know she broke laws and obstructed justice, then they went after donald trump and set their sights on him. next, is this shocking part that directly implicates here john kerry and barack obama. nobody has picked up on this. top australian officials broke with diplomatic protocol, allowed the ambassador alexander downer to sit for an fbi diplomatic protocol brok

we have seen severe fisa abuses. the f.b.i. lying to multiple judges about the clinton bought and paid for dossier with russian sources paid for by and worked on by a foreign national. they got warrants to spy on a member of the trump campaign. the rampant, ridiculous 350% up-tick by the obama administration and unmasking in the 2016 election year. then the criminal leaking that took place. michaelflip -- michael flynn is only one example. his name was leaked to the news media. it's beyond disturbing and why the deep state if we care about the rule of law, the equal application of the law and the constitution, the people should be held accountable. some members of congress are trying to do that. senator chuck grassley is demanding answers about comey's conflicting testimony over michael flynn's interview over the f.b.i. agents. he told congress he didn't think that michael flynn lied but that is what mueller charged flynn with. then remember, this information, that was something that rod rosenstein and others at the d.o.j., the

the fisa court has not explained in this came out in the devon nunez memo that when the fisa court saw from the fbi this fusion gps dossier, advanced as reasons to begin electronic surveillance on carter page, a peripheral member of the trump campaign at this point, i don't believe in we haven't seen the actual fisa court argument for representations. for those whose did see it is clear that they were not told the fbi cannot substantiate the claims this dossier in the dossier had an origin and opposition research. which might be to material facts that could convince the courts not to grant the electronic surveillance. for the officers of the court, the fbi and whoever made the arguments, it is a crime. >> i would also look at some sources and procedures developed under mueller when his head of the fbi to guarantee that no fact presented can be an unverified fact. they're so picky about that that if one fact is iffy they go back to the drawing board and not allowed to present anything unverified. >> the whole purpose is to protect supposedly american citizens from electronic surveillanc

but that didn't lead to the application before the fisa court. my allegation is that the woods procedures were not followed before the fisa court there wouldn't have been any preparation of the fisa court in the absence of that very dossier and that is not -- don't take my word for it, that is the testimony of andrew mccabe. >> i have talked to people at the justice department and say you keep saying this and you don't know what you are talking about because you are you're not on the -- you're not ount house intelligence -- >> and they are briefing the house judiciary committee and they have oversight over the fisa process. that is not exclusively the purview of the intelligence committee, frankly i wish the judiciary would be more active in interviewing witnesses regarding the procedures that were followed and the eftds that wasn't presented. these prosecutors before a fisa court did not have a defense attorney in the room. they had an obligation to present the evidence favorable to their position but the evidence that wasn't favorable and gave

court does not explain that when the fisa court saw on the fbi the fusion gps dossier those were the reasons to do a small member at this point. i do not believe, and and we have not seen the actual fisa court arguments or representations but for those who have, it seems to be clear that the fbi could not substantiate the claims or replicate the dossier to have an origin of opposition research that the two material facts that convince the court not to do electronic surveillance and for the officers of the court and the fbi and those who read the arguments to the fisa court with that inaccurate form, the document is a crime. >> also documenting from those sources and that is so precisely what i came in about that. then they go back to the drawing board from electronics and then with the surveillance of foreigners. . . . . >> going back to the court to get permission. so carter page talks to the group in the campaign. they're all under electronic surveillance. carter page was involved in 2015 also with the russians sting the department of justice conducted. i continue to question wheth

i mean, fisa warrants and fisa warrant applications, that kind of information is very, very highly secret. it's never handed over. they never even admit to the existence of fisa warrants in public. but in this case they caved. they hand over those fisa warrant applications to congress. as far as we know, that is totally unprecedented. why did they do that? they did not have to do that. they've never done it before. they also handed over to congress what's called the electronic communication, which is a very generic-sounding name. in this specific instance it is a term of art which means they handed over the initial document, we think it's a two-page-long document, that created the russia investigation at the fbi. the initial document setting out the investigation and setting it in motion. justice department handed that over. all these things were handed over to congress. all this information about an ongoing investigation that the justice department nevertheless decided to share with trump-supporting members of congress in the middle of that investigation. and there's no -- honestly, we'r

but from those that have seen it, it seems pretty clear that the fisa court was not told that the fbi couldn't substantiate the claims or couldn't dedicate the dossier as it had an origin in the opposition research, which i think would be the two material facts that might have convinced the court not to grant the electronic surveillance. and for the officers of the court, the fbi and whoever made the argument in the court, they represent an accurate form of the document is a crime. >> host: when robert mueller was the head of the fbi, no facts had presented to the court to be an unverified fact and they are so precisely picky about that, that if one is picky that they cannot do their own daneyko bacthen they go back tog board. >> guest: the whole purpose of the fisa court is to protect, supposedly, the american citizens from electronic surveillance as the mandate of the nsa national security agency and has only to conduct surveillance of foreigners. what happens is they approve carter page and then the only one he talks to the collateral, so for instance he talks with jeff sessions at

mark: wait, and you and i been fisa warrants we know lectures by rosenstein about the plebes how fisa works. you are a u.s. attorney, i was chief of staff to attorney general of the united states, and we know stink when we smell it. go ahead. number two on rosenstein, which is a grotesque conflict. he was the united states attorney in maryland during the prosecution of the precursor to the uranium one debacle where an informant noted that the russians who are buying uranium later on that they were lobbying u.s. people and the same russians by the way, mark, were helping the iranians fill the nuclear program. mark: who was the director of the fbi? >> bob mueller, of course! it is an incestious circle swamp. mark: who was the director of the fbi when manafort did these criminal acts and concealed foreign connections? was bob mueller the director of the fbi? >> yes, and i'll tell you something. mark: how did he miss it all? >> i'll tell you something else. there is a gentleman named dara paska who dealt with paul manafort. mueller used dara paska and kept his name out of the manafort ind

i mean, fisa warrants and fisa warrant applications, that kind of information is very, very highly secret. it's never handed over. they never even admit to the existence of fisa warrants in public. but in this case, they caved. they handed over those fisa warrant applications to congress. as far as we know, that is totally unprecedented. why did they do that? they did not have to do that. they've never done it before. they also handed over to congress what's called the electronic communication, which is a very generic-sounding name. in this specific instance, it is a term of art, which means they handed over the initial document, we think it's a two-page-long document, that created the russia investigation at the fbi. the initial document setting out the investigation and setting it in motion. justice department handed that over. all these things were handed over to congress. all this information about an ongoing investigation that the justice department nevertheless decided to share with trump-supporting members of congress in the middle of that investigation. and there's no -- honestly,

isn't he is one that signed one of the fisa renewal applications? by the way, the judge on friday said oh, isn't he recused? he didn't say that by accident, dan bongino. >> sean, rosenstein not only signed one of the fisa warrants against supposed super spy carter page who goes out on cable every night to talk about whatever he wants. he was also the united states attorney on the iranian one precursor case. this is the most conflicted investigative team i have seen in my life. there are two investigators on the mueller team, lawyers that represented people involved with the clinton foundation and the clinton scandal. >> sean: what about the -- i have to ask, congressman chaffetz. >> i heard it was coming in april. i heard it was coming in may. i heard it was coming yesterday. i know he has new evidence. when are we getting this report? how long does it take to investigate the clinton e-mail investigation? then he has to move on to the fisa abuse investigation and corruption there. >> fortunately, he has 450 people working with him so they can walk a

the fisa court failed us. we have national security letters that are used in extreme circumstances being used and a fbi agents that took it upon themselves to investigate a candidate and his campaign and actual spies in the trump campaign. what is it? the soviet union or venezuela or central america? it is the united states of america. once mr. mueller turns over the report to mr. rosenstein. the president should pick favorite united states attorney. not because they are pals. but give him an assignment. i don't care what jeff sessions. and tell him. i want you to investigate the activities that took place in this election and let the chips fall where they may. and the innerferrance by the fbi and cia and national intelligence. and brennan and clapper and comey did. not because i am going to punish them. you am make determination. >> sean: susan rice. >> i would also tell them to fix this. we can't have an election where the federal government is interfering with an election and i think the president needs to

look, fisa abuse is a serious issue. we the people, the congress, have given the executive branch a lot of power in this very important law and it is really important that we conduct the proper oversight of the executive branch to make sure that that power is not or has not or will not be abused. that's ultimately the big picture of what is going on here and so i think it is important that we just let the truth come out on all of these things. >> is it appropriate for some of your members to ask for the identity of an fbi informant to be revealed? doesn't that put him at risk? >> first of all, that was a classified request. and i do believe, look, knowing this issue, the fisa requests are legitimate oversight requests. so it is wholly appropriate for the document requests that our jurisdiction has made because it has been within the entire scope of the investigation from the get-go. frankly, i was a little surprised we didn't get this stuff earlier. i do think it is appropriate in the context of the legitimate intelligen

it will be outlining fisa

what started the investigation -- shannon: did it get you to the fisa warrant? >> it was disclosed political opposition was funded. i don't think it matters that much. shannon: it doesn't matter? >> i have actually signed off on fisa warrants, and to act in good faith in using the broad powers of the foreign intelligence surveillance act in a trustworthy way. i can't believe these two guys, carter paige and george papadopoulos, don't seem like serious characters, if you were going to go after a serious conspiracy, i don't see why the fbi didn't bring in papadopoulos and carter paige. shannon: we could do an hour with you guys. >> he is a good lawyer and i wish we had more time. shannon: would love to have you guys back. we would love to have you back. paul ryan trying to quite a rebellion, growing number of moderate republicans trying to force a vote on different immigration measures saying time to settle the daca issue. a republican from california leading the charge to force ryan's hands on a measure that would give dreamers a pathway to legal status. >> the 1

unfortunately, when they applied for their fisa warrant, they told the fisa judge that they had extra sources in the media that confirmed what steele was saying in the dossier. well, it was steele himself who was the media source. so i don't actually trust, and it pains me to say it, i don't actually trust what the doj is saying now, because they've said things all along the course of this investigation that have turned out to be completely wrong. and again, i disagree with what josh said, very specifically. there is a massive difference between a counterintelligence investigation and a criminal investigation. the standards are completely different. everything -- >> with respect, you just made a charge without any basis. you said a lot of what doj has told us has turned out not to be true. what are you talking about? >> well, i just gave you a great example. when they said to the fisa judged that dossier has been verified by different media sources when it turns out that the dossier offer was the separate media source. >> you're quoting the nunes memo. this is something people are loo

so if the fisa judge is making a decision based on information that is not credible zsh. >> that was part of it. the judge is credible. >> it is part of a valid criticism that the president is making that this steele source was not valid. >> oh, geez. >> the application made was made on fraud information. >> christopher steele was one of the most respected intelligence officials in the entire world, as the head of british intelligence confirmed and has been confirmed by many people. so the idea that christopher steele is not credible is completely untrue. >> all right, guys. that has to be the last word right now. i'm going to thank you all. that was so much fun. don, jonathan, kerry, susan, joyce, guys, thank you so much. >>> short break and we'll be right back with more on just what you were talking about there. hello mom. amanda's mom's appointment just got rescheduled - for today. amanda needs right at home. our customized care plans provide as much - or as little help - as her mom requires. whether it's a ride to the doctor or help around the house. oh, of course! tom, i am real

there were fights over the fisa memo, a two-page document that actually kicked off the investigation itself, and nunes

it's not going to work, a bomb shell report from sarah carter, the fisa memos that the doj is refusing to hand over could hold the key to the obama fbi-trump surveillance. stay with us. this is an important breaking news monologue. brand new tonight after a meeting between trump, the fbi director chris wray, rod rosenstein and other top intel officials, president trump and the department of justice are asking the inspector general to investigate the obama administration and the spying they did on the trump campaign. the white house is also revealing tonight that chief of staff, john kelly, general kelly, is setting up a meeting for congress so they will see the documents that constitutionally they have been asking for and the doj has been obstructing and stone walling. i believe it when i see the documents. this is the same material that rod rosenstein has refused to turn over for months. now, his name, by the way, you

wehi know now, which led to that fisa warrant, broadcasting board of governors, -- >> sean: why are you going to russia and why didn't they just say to the fbi in the spring of 2016, why didn't they go, and say, carter page -- you never met trump? >> never prayed >> sean: why didn't they just say, this guy's going to russia, works for your campaign, we are worried about him. >> because there's nothing to it. >> sean: why were you in russia? >> i gave a speech. >> sean: you didn't get paid for it? >> zero. >> sean: is being reported that you were a former cia operative. >> at all. it's funny.n there's a double standard there as well. i was being given information to the cia -- >> sean: you cooperate with your country when you made these foreign trips? you don't like these questions? >> generally, i tried to be very confidential. >> sean: you are debriefed, you love america. you were trying to help your country by meeting with intel cia people. >> they ask for my help and i did not say no. >> sean: okay. sam clovis. let's start with you. >> yes, sir. >> sean: you were approached -- i knew

fisa abuse is a serious issue. we the people, the congress, have given the executive branch a lot of power in this very important law. it is really important that we conduct the proper oversight of the executive branch to make sure that power is not or has not or will not be abused. >> eric: that is house speaker paul ryan talking about some of the allegations and outrage over the alleged informant and the fisa allegations of abuse during the presidential campaign. this comes as there is a second push on capitol hill today to try and address that to investigate those allegations at the department of justice and f.b.i. during the 2016 race. including both the russian investigation and the trump campaign and the hillary email investigation. what can we expect? one lawmaker who signed that letter joins us now. he is new york republican long island congressman lee zeldin of the first district here in new york. the hillary email probe, how did the investigation into the server end. alleged fisa abuses as well as how did
