There themselves two cooperating witnesses at the same meeting. some of the others had either flynn or nader. is it more than just a additive result that you get two people cooperating rather than one in meetings like this. >> its important to have more than one. they can become self-corroborating. if you get one story from flynn and separately discuss what happened at the meeting with nader, if they tell you the same story, that makes it more believable. and we also had bannon at one of those m...

Steele. fisa warrant, the credibility of the person is not nearly as important as the credibility of the sources or where the information is coming from. as we have been telling you none of the information from russian sources was ever corroborated. none of it. this modern fact from you the american people. g.o.p. memo details how the fisa application written by article written by carter page what schiff lies about is that steele was the source for isikoff and yahoo news which the fisa judge was...

Be obtained through normal investigative techniques. from what we now know, the fbi didnt get in contact with page again when the bureau apparently got their hands on the phony dossier in the fall of 2016 only months before the election. now, why wouldnt the fbi do that when page had already been corroborating? none of this makes sense. and then again maybe it isnt supposed to because the truth is finally coming out. here is the bottom line, the fbi top echelon not rank and file lied to a fisa j...

Up in arms over this schiff memo, the republican memo, in that it only painted a slice, kind of only gave us a one-sided picture of what tib if he fbi w dealing with. and with this dem memo, it really sought to answer some of these questions about whether the fbi abused its power to obtain these secret court-approved wiretaps, and whether as the republicans were saying whether it was politically motivated. now, the dems memo gives us a fuller picture of what the fbi and the department of justice...

But when you read this newly declassified 10 page counter memo, what you see is they are now making the argument that is in fact not about the memo. that it was about other intelligence that justified the surveillance warrant for this term campaign aide, carter page. i want to draw your attention to a couple sections. on page 4 of the democrats memo you can see it heavily redacted so we dont know what the corroborating intelligence was. it states, the justice department provided additional infor...

Getting a couple of minutes now. >> i want to draw your attention to page number four. it is a critical section of the memo because it makes the argument that the justice department provided additional information obtained through multiple independent sources that corroborated steele reported. in this section you can see the bottom, it is left out or heavily redacted. the reason it has my attention is that in january 2017, when president trump was the incoming president and he was briefed by the...

Rick gates was arrested in october and charged with multiple felonies alongside paul manafort. there have been rumblings there might be something going on. he dumped the first lawyer representing him for a couple weeks now there are intriguing and mostly secret court proceedings that made it seem like maybe he was dropping or getting dropped by his second legal team, as well. cnn caitlyn reported a third legal team led by tom green might be taking over rick gates representation, and potentially ...

>> you would do it under oath? >> i would do it under oath, absolutely. >> i want to bring in our cnn legal analyst, former prosecutor laura coates. so laura, what are the actual risks if the president does decide to answer questions from the special counsel and his investigators? >> well, the biggest risk, of course, is perjury, that he may make an inconsistent statement to the fbi even if hes under oath. the second is he may make corroborating statements. the third thing is donald trump, who i...

Sought the warrant without the dossier information. >> yes. >> sought and information. so when you say dossier information, the implication there is it was corroborated by other research. >> yeah, and the memo points out, you know what they used to corroborate was the story by isikoff where steeles the source. so they used the same information presented as a separate piece of information that corroborates the dossier. >> congressman, do you know thats all that was used? >> i dont. i know what th...
