Page 15 - Fisa Application News Today

Democratic memo was compelling if you were paying attention. its not the same on for the press and the public to see the memo, to see that they were acting in bad faith and being dishonest and the president talking about the application, and has talked about it for months has been dishonest in the way he framed it. in the case, the equities lie on the balance to show the american people what is going on. >> matthew miller, thank you for your analysis and explaining all of it. we appreciate you c...

Over how the fbi sought and continued the warrant. earlier today, president trump used the release of the documents to attack the russia investigation. so, we now find out that it was the unverified and fake dirt dossier that was paid for by the crooked hillary clinton and the dnc that was knowingly and falsing submitted to fisa -- so much there. its important to note that the documents reveal the surveillance applications were authorized and re-authorized by four separate federal judges all fou...

As charlie savage wrote in the "new york times," "in respect after respect, the newly disclosed documents corroborated rebuttals by democrats on the panel who had seen the top secret materials and accused republicans of mischaracterizing them to protect the president." national security experts say the document showed the fbi had probable cause to believe that page had been targeted by the russian government for recruitment and that he established relationships with russian government officials,...

Was justified, the fisa application for carter page? >> listen, ive said before there are things that should never find their way in the public domain. fisa applications are one of those. i think its an awful precedent. if the american people learned anything from it release, it was that there was great justification of the courts as to why the fisa application was approved. >> richard burr. joining me now is minnesota senator amy close into share. thanks for joining us. >> thank you, katy, grea...

Meetings, but, you know, to call me an advisor i think is way over the top. >> except in the 2013 letter you wrote, it says, quote, over the past half year i have had the privilege to serve as an informal advisor to the staff of the kremlin in preparation for the presidency of the g20 summit next month. >> informal, having some conversations with people, i mean, this is really nothing -- >> meanwhile, in the wake of its release, the fisa application has become something of a rorschach test on ca...

Collaborating and conspireing with the russian government among many other charges, the warrant itself has been the subject of a very partisan fight on the house intelligence committee and the president is already claiming victory on twitter. saying that the released documents confirm with little doubt that the department of quote justice and fbi misled the courts, witch hunt, rigged, a scam. in fact the tweet itself is misleading the documents show that the fbi did use material from the steel d...

Zeller. good to see all of you. your reaction of the release of this application and what it says. >> this is an unprecedented moment. no one has ever before had a fisa warrant released. the only reason this probably ever came to light was because of the issuance of the memoranda, controversial as it was. but when the president declassified the nunes memo and the justice department declassified in part the schiff memo it allowed these documents to be published, with these redactions, admittedly....

The unredacted version should be released? >> when the government issued this four month time frame to produce the records in march, we spent a letter to the president, care of don mcgahn, saying dont make the fbi go through this process, declassify the entirety of the applications, you can make specific redactions for very specific sources and methods to protect lives but give the public the full context. he has not done that. and instead he has a piece for his narrative. >> whats the danger or...

This to say about the surveillance of carter page. >> by the trump campaigns admission, carter page was not a big player. i dont think it means they were spying on the campaign, i dont think it proves anything about collusion. i think carter page is one of these guys -- we never would have heard of him before all this. but he was a guy on their screen even before the campaign and when he comes into the kind of near orbit of the campaign they get interested when they put that together when they p...

Meetings, but, you know, to call me an adviser, i think, is way over the top. informal, having some conversations with people. i mean, this is really nothing. and just -- an attempt to distract from the real crimes that are shown in this misleading document. >> all right. so the document that page is referring to is this. the 412-page fisa application. and to related materials released by the justice department. late yesterday, the heavily redacted materials were made public after several news o...
