But i can tell you that senator grassley has been phenomenal throughout this whole process. i think he deserves a lot of credit. >> sean: this guy, christopher steele, is a guy who has a desperate -- was desperate that donald trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being the president. so he has his own political motivation in all of this. >> and, sean, that also was not presented to the court. >> sean: well, i mean... i know the democrats are putting it out. my sources are tellin...

President must now put our national security and intelligence first. and expeditiously release the democratic memo after review and appropriate redaction of sources and methods by law enforcement officials. bottom line, when is it going to come out? we dont know. but we do know the president has it and he will decide whether or not it does. back to you. >> steve: all right. kevin corke. live in the north lawn of the white house. pretty pink sky over the treasury department back there. ainsley: o...

Christopher steeles bias. >> sean: adam, was the court told this was bought and paid for by clintons and the dnc? thats why schiff is so wrong in so many different levels. sources telling us contrary to what ever fiction schiff is peddling, the fisa court was lied to. they were never told what the fbi was getting and renewing this war and to spy on trump campaign member carter page. schiffs claim that the dossier was politically tainted, it is a minor footnote. it never mentions that hillary and...

For by clintons and the dnc? thats why schiff is so wrong in so many different levels. sources telling us contrary to what ever fiction schiff is peddling, the fisa court was lied to. never told what the fbi was getting and renewing this war and to spy on trump campaign member carter page. schiffs claim that the dossier was politically tainted, it is a minor footnote. it never mention that hillary and her campaign and the dnc paid for it. a pretty important omission, dont you think? we can also ...

Course, made the comment today about the footnote and reacting to it. lets watch. >> a footnote saying that something might be political is a far cry from letting the american people know that the democrats in the hillary campaign paid for dirt, that the fbi then used to get a warrant on an american citizen to spy on another campaign. >> i read the footnote. i know exactly what the footnote says. it took longer to explain it the way they did if they just came right out and said, hillary clinton ...

This, id like a warrant. there is no pushback. >> dana: its a little more difficult than that. >> brian: i would like a warrant. we will take a look. judging by everything i see, im only going to reject 12. its rubber-stamped stamp and put forward. theres two things that are going to be interesting to find out in this memo. they say they are going to put in context andrew mccabes statement when he said wouldnt have gotten this fisa warrant without the dossier. they say its taken out of context b...

Clear the release of it, we sort of already know whats in the mellow. just as we knew what was in the nunes memo. because despite the lip service that congress pays to the rules for dealing with classified information, congress leaks. thats just a rule of politics and a rule of washington and so weve seen some of the very detail pushback against the nunes memo, including push back on the idea that in the fisa application, the original one, there was not a recognition and explicit tracing of the ...

This. >> michael crowley, its been proffered finally that in the world of political water carriers, mr. nunes may be without peer right now. has he been damaged in this whole process? >> well, yes. i mean i think that the memo particularly when you saw him having to walk back today really what was the key assertion in the memo, the key point in that moment was that the fbi did not disclose in its application for a fisa warrant to surveil carter page that the fbi did not disclose that there may h...

The fisa warrant cited. this was the great outrage into the fbi was sitting on this incredibly important piece of information. that one of our key pieces of evidence may have been derived from a democratic money. and nunes came out today and admitted it was in a footnote. i saw somebody point out basically his complaining was the type was too small. the information was in the warrant, but what republicans like nunes and others were reduced to arguing was you didnt put it in big enough letters. i...
