Information we didnt have before. we learned about that fbi meeting with carter page, the same month that he signed up with the trump campaign. we learned the exact date of the start of the fbis counterintelligence investigation into the trump campaign. it started on july 31st, 2016. good to know. we learned that for all the republican efforts to make the christopher steele dossier some kind of scandal at the heart of the russia investigation, the justice department presented to a court in its s...

Got this democratic memo is just a whole bunch of straight up new information we didnt have before. we learned about that fbi meeting with carter page, the same month that he signed up with the trump campaign. we learned the exact date of the start of the fbis counterintelligence investigation into the trump campaign. it started on july 31st, 2016. good to know. we learned that for all the republican efforts to make the christopher steele dossier some kind of scandal at the heart of the russia i...

So they called president trump candidate number one but then there was a tiny footnote about where the dossier came from and they said it was hired by politically-motivated u.s. persons. shouldnt they have said candidate number two then? >> a couple of things that i think is very important and i want to direct my friend on one thing. not the fact the memo came out on saturday but the fact that the memo was held for several weeks, unlike the partisan republican memo that came out pretty much imme...

For by the democrats. what they did, they put it in a footnote so people couldnt see it. >> the chairman of house intelligence says he was fine with his release. >> the republicans wanted this out. we believe it proves everything we said in our memo to be true. we talked specifically about fisa abuse and theyre saying its okay for one party to essentially get dirt, use it to spy on another party. and that just is never going to be okay in america. >> chuck schumer said the memo says: a key democ...

Referring to a footnote about who we subsequently find out was under investigation because indictments were issued. but the key point there is that carter page is surveilled after, not during, but after the application to surveil carter page. and the more important point if youll indulge me, there was all sorts of reasons going way back, years before, for the fbi to have an interest in carter pages relationship to the russians. he called himself an adviser to the kremlin. theres a lot more there...

>> and the great news is apparently the presidents bone spurs arent hurting him any more so hes going to -- i agree with all of this. i think its the sense we were just trolled by devin nunes memo. it had nothing to do with anything. as you watch robert mueller walk through this investigation, we dont know what hes got except that it is systematic. there are no leaks on this. it is going higher and higher. so, devin nunes comes out with his jubilant little memo that says lets look at why they we...

Differentiation between specifically saying that the steele dossier was funded by hillary clinton and the dnc. but instead clearly stating that there was some sort of influence in the funding of this document. do you think from what you can tell from these two memos that they properly adhere to the rules when it comes to unmasking, or should they have been more specific about the partisan funding of the dossier? >> i think as a footnote as everyone is reading the footnotes made clear that the fb...

Himself a bad ombre. that democrat memo is a weak and pathetic effort to cover up for the failures of the democrat party to come out honestly on this. the steele document was the driving force hipd tbehind the court awarding those warrants. without those, there would be no case whatsoever. they did not tell the judge it was funded by the administration, it was buried in the footnote that was hard to understand. >> i would assume the fisa judge reads the footnotes. >> i read that thing five times...

Which pieces of evidence are true. clearly the white house position as you just articulated is that despite the fact the president allowed this memo to come out, they dont see it as credible. they believe this memo did not get into or more specifically emphasize the fact that democrats were involved in funding that dossier. the memo does acknowledge and says the fbi acknowledged in its application for that surveillance - - permission for surveillance that the average was politically charged or h...
