No, its not true. it wasnt revealed, the partisan funding behind that research. so lets find out. i think whats happened today in part, john, is the seal has been broken on information around this investigation, and now well see more. well see the mccabe interview notes. we might see the application itself. we certainly should see the schiff report, and i think all that is good for the public. >> i think even what you just said, you know, he said that certain parts of it were salacious and unver...

Clinton paid for this. look, they knew that. >> do you have evidence -- hang on one second. do you have evidence that they tried to hide it, or do you have evidence that they just omitted it? >> well, im saying the fact that they said that there was political person behind this clearly shows they were trying to obfuscate. >> how? how is that evidence of intent? >> because they didnt tell them. they knew that hillary clinton -- instead of saying hillary clinton paid for this, the dnc paid for thi...

Court application and do the same thing. >> congressman stewart, your response? >> yes. its just simply not true, and time will show that its not true. we look forward to the democratic response to this memo. we look forward to the fbis response. i hope the fbi does respond. i hope that we can declassify and show more and more of this information, and when we do, just like a couple days ago, john, when you and i talked, we said lets let the memo be judged on its own merits. lets let this memo an...

Ive heard people say that, and im telling you it is not true. their accusations or their supposition that thats not what he said. im telling you its not true. i was there for his testimony. i helped to question him. i asked him that specific question, and i can assure you that the response was, this fisa application would not have been submitted were it not for the dossier and the other supporting material, which was by the way shall a yahoo news report which was another news report based on the...

>> well, because the memo doesnt say what the fbi did in terms of what they actually did report to the court about the sources. it doesnt have an affirmative statement about what they said about those sources. it doesnt talk about what other bases for the probable cause was in the application. there could have been a whole host of other types of intelligence information that formed the basis for that application. it doesnt say -- the memo doesnt say whether or not the fbi and the department of j...

Rosenstein because i believe the intent here is to try and undermine them and see them gone. >> the only evidence released there is again the fisa process on carter page which cnn had reported a year ago, april of 2017. >> also papadopoulos. >> again, that may help the democratic argument there because it says that the russia investigation, the counterintelligence investigation began months before this fisa warrant was even pursued. earlier you claim that as part of the application for the fisa ...

Is incorrect. now, whether individual americans were named specifically is a different question. remember when youre applying for a fisa warrant, you would typically mask the names of u.s. citizens. but the fbi did in fact in that application indicate the context in which this information was developed. so the notion that they hoodwinked the judge, which of course is the core here, is just not supportable by the evidence. >> was the judge informed it was a democratic source or just a political s...

Exclusive part. >> andrew mccabe said but for the dossier, we wouldnt have sought the warrant. the dossier was critical. >> he did not say that. >> im saying what the memo discloses, which is andrew mccabe communicated this was an important reason for seeking the warrant. but for the dossier, they werent going to go for the warrant. >> but for the information in the -- >> what did he say one more time? >> again, what the nunes memo alleges andrew mccabe said is not accurate. it is true that info...

Director wray, show us the application. show us what was put together to go get this warrant to spy on a fellow citizen at a secret court. show us that information. we havent seen it. >> well, he was a suspected foreign agent. that was why they were asking for a warrant to surveil him. >> if you had -- i heard congressman schiff say on the previous segment, if you had other information on carter page, why didnt you use it? why did you rely on the dossier? >> hang on. >> why tell the court -- >> ...

Party. thats the type of stuff that happens in -- >> the new memo details why the fisa court gave permission for the fbi to spy on a former trump campaign advisor carter page. the case against page was based in large part, the memo says, on information collected by former british spy christopher steele. from the memo now, quote, the dossier compiled by steel, the steele dossier on behalf of the democratic national committee and the hilary clinton campaign formed an essential part of the carter p...
