Fisa process and even house speaker ryan uses the word may and makes it conditional. the civil liberties may have been violated. no one is saying this is an absolute direct abuse of power and they have not shown evidence because we dont have the underlying fisa application. and im desperate to hear from the fisa judges about this. that the actual entire process application was based solely on this steele dossier. i hope everyone at home this weekend will read up on how you get a warrant through ...

The fisa court. perhaps will interfere with allies giving us intelligence for fear it goes through this process, and a president who is hell bent on releasing something because it appears to be pishl to his political interests. >> undermining an agency currently investigating his administration. >> thats right. >> lawyera if i could go with you. there are a couple issue with the memo one is the release being unusual. but as the central charge from the fbi, which is involved in the memo, involved...

Unusual. is the central charge from the fbi which is involved in the memo, involved in the process, saying it is just fundamentally misleading. its inaccurate. >> its a huge problem. if the goal here is for the american public in the court of public opinion which is the goal here to get this message out and allow the people to decide for themselves about what they read. wouldnt you want them to have every single piece of the puzzle in front of them? wouldnt you want competing interpretations let...

Et cetera. he was shocked to learn that process. thats the guy who wrote the law. and. >> ken if i can. >> the notion that there arent abuses going on here is really beyond the pale. its important not to lose. >> guys im sorry. >> i have to address one point. >> well id like you to its got to be quick its a big conversation. >> i understand the idea of hyperbole is what people are trying to prevent by having nuness memo out without substantial. the idea of transparency being the goal is if that ...

Those things, if you are missing things about the process to secure the fisa warrant. if you are missing whether or not the dossier was the main and only and perhaps exclusive based on which to file the application which it couldnt have been process it couldnt have been. it would have been a full investigation which would have required them to have greater steps and probably lengthier investigation into the dossier. if you leave out those things what have you given the american public besides a ...

If you what have you given the person public besides a note to self-and your interpretation of what you think the truth will be. thats not the troou. it misleads the fbi. and the american people. >> its bad process. because exactly to your point, if theres a suspicion that theres irregularity in the fisa application process and misleading of the fisa court, thats what the department of justice and the inspector general of those departments are there to do. thats the process. >> its a legitimate ...

Do the collection. and right now we have this process happening over at the house intel committee, run by the republicans there, that seems to disregard all of that. and seems to have a political -- a very strong political agenda. i would say its part of the presidents in my view apparent effort to obstruct justice. and theyre doing it without any regard for very serious national security risks. >> evan mullan within stuart kaplan thanks much. when we come back a ton of breaking news on the russ...

Aide, trying to water down some of its own assertions here. from your perspective, does -- is this fishy to you? is it confusing? if they thought there was wrongdoing why do they backtrack before send going to the white house. >> certainly, yeah -- of course, were operating without the memo. it would be nice to have it in front of us. if what theyre talking about is redactions. that can become a compromise between the house and the white house in terms of whats included in the memo. thats within...

Front of us. if what theyre talking about is redaction. that can bb a compromise between the house and white house in term of whats included in the memo. thats the process theyre utilizing now. if the sub tans of the memo changed then as a technical matter under the house rules, they would probably have to vote again. so and then the house gets five more days. so it does depend on that. the republicans want to at least comply with the process. and this is a touchy one for them. if the memo has s...
