What they find is that a lawyer supervising the fisa process at the fbi, according to mr. horowitz, doctored an email to the cia and fbi and will be referred for criminal prosecution. why is that important? carter page, who has been on the receiving end of all of this, the foundation to believe he was a foreign agent comes from a dossier that well talk about in a minute, provided by christopher steele, and well talk about him in a minute. they claim carter page meets with three people known to b...

Reasonable that if they didnt -- you cant answer this question -- but to me, it seems like if something is as standard as that process, before you go to a fisa court, to not do it was something they intended not to do. they didntt want to go throug it. i mean, it seems to be a logical conclusion. and then youeebe ask yourself, ? well, because we dont ever want this guy to get elected president. and if he does, sounds like they want to impeach him. i mean, i cant understand anybody working in thi...

This. >> lets run a clip here. this is what comey said in 2018. it would be nice to have sound. do we have sound? never mind. ill read it. director comey, the reporter is asking him, can i ask you a question on fisa abuse. its a major issue for the republicans. do you have the total confidence in the dossier when you used it to secure a surveillance warrant and also in the subsequent renewals? this was asked in december of 2018, about a year ago. comey, i have total confidence that the fisa proc...

Other side of the aisle, when we take up impeachment next month, have that same standard for the weight of evidence that were going to be asked tof look at. thank you, mr. chair. >> senator rona. >> thank you. you r identify significant issu with the fisa application process for conducting surveillance on carter page. before this investigation, were you aware of the use of the fisa process? >> i was not personally. although, we have done reports, as you know, senator, since 9/11 my office. >> we...

Cetera. the director acknowledged your findings. and, in fact, he is moving ahead to make improvements to the fisa process and as he put it to make the fbi a much stronger institution. >> thats correct. >> would you agree that it is a major decision to seek authority from a fisa court to conduct surveillance on ant american? i agree. >> if fbi officials were politically-motivated and wanting to conduct surveillance on a particular american, wouldnt the decision to seek fisaee approval be a point...

Thats how much the republicans really thought this was going to prove everything theyve said about this deep state coup against the president. what we found out there was no deep state, no plants. there was a proper predicate for opening this. what we did have that republicans are seizing on is pretty serious violations of the fisa process. what theyre trying to do is take that and apply it to say that the entire process and the entire report, in fact, itself, is completely tainted and to confus...

Investigation, did you? >> we did not. >> you didnt reprosecute the special counsel report, did you? >>po we did not. >> would you agree that you got a lot of questions today that had nothing to do with what you were here to talk about today? >> i certainly had dseveral. >> yeah. so i also wonder whether or not that was politicallyo motivate. lets focus on this. what i found interesting was that weat do have people who ar using this asav a platform on t other side of the aisle that says, well, n...

Shiny object wehe hear in the weeks ahead. >> thats a strategy they are banking on, the president and his attorney general have made no secret about their deep sadness and disappointment in the fbi director christopher wrayi for not going along. they both contradicted him and horowitz and really been singing offbe a different song sheet. i agree with frank. i worked in a white house that relied very much for controversial national security purposes the fisa court and the fisa process. it is pain...

And threat to the constitution. so you are right to the masterful way in which speaker pelosi has prepped the battlefield. she is presenting this accurately as a clear and present danger to the security of the next election and our national security. thats something the american people should get their hands around. and i think that what they led to saw today in inspector generals horowitzs hearing. why do i say that? you mentioned psychological ops. we are seeing now the republicans bright, shi...

Of missed or recharacterized. the white house already made a statement. >> i worry it will get distorted. i worry it will get missed in the rush of other news. people internalize the lies. good people believe the president. they heard treason and lying for two years. >> the report found serious problems 17 specific incidents about the fisa process. and from the report it says that so many basic and fundamental errors were made by three separate hand picked teams. briefed at the highest level wit...
