Need to go after any abuses is important. what matters to us is the article 1 branch of government conducting oversight of the executive branch is we do get document requested honored. 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 ...

Those who criticize this oversight by the house as they begin from the premise that the investigators are beyond reproach or beyond being looked at. given what is out there already about the fisa abuses, use of a dossier as part of the fisa warrant, who paid for it, the rival campaign, the text back and forth between fbi agents, theres a lot of average americans they dont trust those investigators. thats whats driving this look into it, the department of justice would do well to get it out there...

Im looking back on it, does anything seem odd or -- you know you know something then, maybe that was a little odd, or any other contacts had with any other people that seem now in retrospect given what we know now odd, out of the ordinary or maybe in some way improper? >> i tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. we will see. maybe this individual who we are talking about might have been a little bit nicer than i might otherwise have expected. although, we were talking about all of the abu...

Is the doj capitulating or buying time? >> one of my questions is whether or not democrats are going to be able to see this information as well. typically you would offer classified intelligence to a very select but bipartisan group of people and the details on this are so fuzzy. i think we can anticipate that today. i want to go back to paul ryan for a second. we touched on that, but lets, lets not underestimate the degree to which he is enabling and has enabled devin nunes in all of this and h...
