Authority, we have to go back to obama who really accelerated this process, and he is simply using it to his own ends. it was terrible when obama did it, its terrible when he does it. do i think its an offense against democracy? not exactly. >> or just the idea that he can fix everything himself, i alone can fix it is something he ran on and that he seems to believe in. thats why i ask the question. >> he wants tariffs. congress is not supportive of tariffs even though republicans are supportive...

House, allowing and in some cases encouraging devin nunes to carry on a concerted and consistent effort to obstruct justice using a house committee. >> and ben wittes, we have to go to break, but its more than just obstructing justice for donald trump. what devin nunes has done with the help of paul ryan through this fisa process has undermined our intelligence community, undermined intelligence gathering, and revealed not only to russians but to members of al qaeda, to members of irans revoluti...

Intelligence, then why werent any democrats invited to this meeting tomorrow to review this intelligence? should they have been? >> yeah, they definitely should have been. we need to be bipartisan about this. and i think that it would be a lot more credible of a process if we were more inclusive. i think more members of congress outside of the intelligence committee ought to be able to determine -- to participate in this discussion and debate about what kind of country we want to have. i will ad...

Wouldnt have been any preparation of the fisa court in the absence of that very dossier and that is not -- dont take my word for it, that is the testimony of andrew mccabe. >> i have talked to people at the justice department and say you keep saying this and you dont know what you are talking about because you are youre not on the -- youre not ount house intelligence -- >> and they are briefing the house judiciary committee and they have oversight over the fisa process. that is not exclusively t...

Counsel. steve: sure, apparently the white house was okay with rod rosensteins suggestion yesterday in oval office looking into any irregularities, the department of justice would, congressman, you know an inspector general for the department of justice can only talk to people who work at the department of justice, people who have left government, off limits. >> no subpoena power and then obviously theyre not prosecutor, so if they uncover evidence of criminal misconduct, inspector general cant ...

Podesta, loretta lynch, the queen to have swamp, hillary clinton, in particular to watch nancy pelosi and chuck schumer stand there announcing drain the swamp message as we are learning about the fbi, obamas fbi spying on trump campaign via the fisa process and via informant, ironic and perhaps democrats should find a good message. >> what happened here is president trump took the democrats message because thats what we ran on in 2006 during midterms so actually it was ours first. do i think its...

Something or exonerate him. steve: fox news has not confirmed the identity of the source, there are stories floating around in major stories -- >> thats why we are not using the name. brian: from what you know about the law and investigation, does anything seem -- does anything seem -- does anything unnerve you about the process? >> yes. brian: tell me what specifically? >> if the fbi and we have the texts from peter strzok and his friend, we know the attitude that some of them had about donald ...

Do doj that permit them to do that. it simply is too unlikely to contemplate. >> not a single person on in panel has actually responded to my very first comment which was about the steele dossier which was funded by the clinton campaign. >> it has nothing to do with anything. >> yes, it does. >> let me respond to that, kerry. >> if i can respond to kerrys concern, i would be happy to talk about this. >> go ahead, joyce. >> i think it is important to note that the fbi doesnt just conduct criminal...

Over the past several months, particularly when it came to the devin nunes memo that inaccurately represented how this fisa or foreign intelligence surveillance act process works. were not in the wild west of data collection or intelligence collection more generally. the fisa process and fisa orders and warrants are governed by a need to show probable cause before anybody goes in from the u.s. government and accesses u.s. telecom data at this juncture. >> so are you confident in the oversight, o...

Or like i say, i love a good cat fight. in seriousness, when comey argues that the committee wrecked the fisa process. lets go into that. does he not realize that he once worked with the fbi and it is a fact that the fbi and the department of justice used a faulty dossier? >> fisa courts are problematic before james comey became director of the fbi. when they were created on george bush, they were problematic to begin with. theyre problematic, took republicans a long time to get to that position...
