To issued a contempt order it should be done. its rare for the legislature to hold a member of the executive in contempt but it has been done. then you have to go to court and get the court to enforce it. i think generally its used as a sort thing to hold over the head of justice department officials and in the end they comply. i suspect that will happen here. we may see drama. they may say no. >> bill: these documents the hillary clinton clinton email, fisa application, why would the department...

Over, its just such a mistake for the department to kind of move this line and start turning over records because once they turn these records over, theres no reason to think that thats where theyre going to stop. yes, some of these memos, the content have been made public, but if they turn these over, mark meadows and jim jordan are not going to stop here, just as they didnt stop when any got the carter page fisa application. theyll ask for the next step in investigative materials and thats whe...

Today, carter page, the fisa argument has been around him. was it okay that he was spied on looking for anything let alone collusion, and he says yeah, i want my fisa application out there. >> and carter page, maybe he did something bad, talking to people he shouldnt have. i dont know. i dont care. if hes the means by which we get to see the fisa application, redact it. i understand it. most people understand that. but we deserve to see what is on that application. we deserve to see side by side...
