Responsibility as impossibility reaching work done at lower level. chris: then there is, the worst misconduct. in august of 2016, just two weeks into the investigation the cia tells the fbi that it actually has a relationship with carter page. that when he has these meetings with the russians, he actually goes back and tells the cia about it but you never tell the fisa court that. in fact, in 2017, an fbi lawyer doctors a document, the cia said, oh, carter page he is a source and he puts in the ...

That brought it over. doesnt make it part of the broader mosaic, makes it the center peas of the whole fisa application. >> i dont understand it to be saying that. i could be wrong about that. chris: i got his quote here. he says, we concluded the steele reporting played a central and essential role in the decision to seek a fisa warrant, that it pushed the fisa proposal over the line in terms of the establishing probable cause. i mean he says what he says. words mean something. >> yeah. i agree...

E. host of ground game comcast. katie pavlich. let me start with you. democrats are hanging their hat in terms of the i.g. report, in finding investigation of the trump campaign was legitimate i opened. there was no political bias. republicans on repeated abuses or errors in the fisa process. who has the better side of that argument? >> i think republicans do. democrats should be very concerned what the i.g. laid out in his testimony and his report. james comey, former fbi director in his interv...

Allowed you to surveil carter page who was a former foreign policy advisor to the trump campaign. again, here is what you said about the fisa process and what the inspector general horowitz said this week. take a look. >> total confidence that the fisa process was followed and that the entire case was handled in a thoughtful, responsible way by doj and the fbi. >> we identified significant inaccuracies and omissions in each of the four applications. seven in the first application, and a total of...

Reporting played a central and essential role in the decision to seek a fisa order. chris: horowitz says it wasnt part as you told bret baier, it was not part of a broader mosaic. he said it played an essential role in establishing probable cause. he said in fact he says if it hadnt been for the steele dossier the fbi wouldnt even have submitted a fisa application that had been reviewed in april of 2016 or august of 2016. decided not to do it. they get the steele dossier. they do i had. it was n...

With the it fisa application, they wuable to keep examining who he was talking to. thats why they did this, to get the president. >> preposterous. as ive said many times before, we-the predication to open the russia case. we-no idea who. the question is who are candidates who might be interacting with russia. we look at the people we know have established relationships are russian intelligence figures. kabd carter page was on that list. so thats why the case was opened on him. of course the rest...

They knew that information before the first fisa application was provided is crazy and the fact that a lawyer actually doctored an email. i think one of the great things about the horowitz report as it shows the importance of our inspector general. i think think you did an incree job of like loving this entire activity but the one thing that was missing and there is why? by where were there 17 examples of information being withheld. >> we will continue to follow that and i know you well as well,...

>> but more important for mr. barr apparently is to show that investigating this president and his pals for exactly that should be seen as bad. and he hand-picked a prosecutor to investigate just that, and he calls the russia probe thin justification. trump is the victim. all right. that was what was promised from this igs report, 476 pages, no trump as victim. trump even says that thats what this says. it doesnt. hes lying to you about the report. please do yourself the favor, do the homework. ...

Whether he was a source for the september 2016 yahoo news article that cited western intelligence sources, quote, unquote? if not, why not? >> they did not ask that question despite having the opportunity to do so. we got a variety of explanations including as to some of these issues that they didnt want to offend him or jeopardize their relationship with him. >> question two. on october 11th draft of the fisa application stating the fbi believed steel was the source for the yahoo news article b...

Recollection was that mr. page was or is someone who is still, who had a relationship with the entity with the other government agency. but that the lawyer should go look another the report for confirmation. the lawyer then had a conversation with the fbi agent who was going to be the afiant. the person that swore at that final application. fisa application. the agent told us and as detailed in here was concerned about what he had learned about what page said publicly and wanted a definitive ans...
