Court of public opinion thinking there is bias against him and therefore questions of credibility of the whole russia investigation. then you have the fisa issue, theres lots of different titles in the fisa bill. we talked about this the other day, where you have foreign terrorist calling into americans and you get a warrantless wiretaps, thats one part of the fisa program. when i understand is that the concerns about possible abuses or inappropriateness is in a different title, title i, which i...

Capacity are privy to all sorts of sensitive classified information. im sure a lot of times they see things that really kind of wrinkle concerns, raise concerns that there mightve been abuses or overstepping the law enforcement. in some cases, i think it warrants disclosure, to put a spotlight on the abuses. but you cant do it every time you have a concern. if you did come i dont think law enforcement can function. if every time senator wyden or someone on the hill says this doesnt strike me as ...

Yesterday katherine herridge said two fbi officials could not point to any factual inaccuracies and devin nunes said this, having stonewalled congresses demands for information for nearly a year, its no surprise to see the fbi and doj file spurious objectives for the american people to see the abuses at the agencies. the fbi is intimately familiar with the presentations and theyre welcome to make public to the greatest extent possible all the information they have on these abuses. regardless, it...

Potential. >> does anyone have any questions? >> thank you, speaker. what do you think about the fbi memo and it posing grave danger. >> let me tell you what this memo is and what this memo is not. what this memo is, is congress doing its job in conducting legitimate oversight over a very unique law, fisa. and if mistakes were made and if individuals did something wrong, then it is our job, as the legislative branch of government torque conduct oversight over the executive branch if abuses were ...

Implicates an american civil liberties, it is our job to bring people to account so this doesnt happen again. >> this is for senator mcconnell. have you seen the memo? and secondly, do you agree with senator thume that the senate intelligence committee should see the memo before it is released publicly? >> no, i havent. i dont have any suggestions to make to the speaker. i think hes handling this just right. >> do you believe this memo has something that will have no impact on -- [ inaudible ] >...

The memo before he said after the state of the union, 100% will release it is all for making it public. we would see it tomorrow. lets turn to chad day. he works on the investigative team in washington and the lead writer on the memo. how would you describe what it is, this creation of the nunes staff? >> so we dont know a lot about the memo yet. what we do know, the republicans are saying that it alleges that there were abuses of the government surveillance apparatus during the russia probe. in...
