Overlap? >> it doesnt matter. they took place. she was running for office, he was helping her campaign. i was there at the justice department, i know what its like to say i cant do this because it might not look right. if thats what he was supposed to do. now we see with all these texts that he was just involved with peter strzok and lisa page, setting out insurance plans deciding what to do. >> shannon: you are referencing a tweet that talked about a meeting in andys office and a lot of people ...

Uh huh, sure. still yes! xfinity delivers gig speed to more homes than anyone. now you can get it, too. welcome to the party. we have votes today to politicize the intelligence process, to prohibit the fbi and the department of justice from expressing their concerns to our committee, and to the house and to selectively release to the public only the majoritys distorted memo without the full facts. >> house intelligence committee voted along party lines to release a republican memo on surveilla...

Which is to allow the majority to set a narrative before they released a full statement of the facts from the minority. nonetheless, this is where we are. we had votes today to politicize the intelligence process, to prohibit the fbi and department of justice from expressing their concerns to the committee and the house, and to selectively release to the public only the majoritys distorted memo without the full facts. a very sad day i think in the history of this committee. as i said to my commi...

In and reporting on this intelligence area for a long time, james. have you spoken to anyone with credibility currently inside the u.s. intelligence community who disputes this january assessment? >> no, i think its widely considered the truth. the problem that comes from having this meeting between the director of the cia and binney is that it shows the potential for the politicalization of the intelligence process where information is coming from right wing sources to the president. hes then f...

>> sandra: nunes response is he did this at the white house to have a secure environment in which to view these documents? >> i dont know if he was meeting with somebody that would only meet at the white house. i dont know what those particulars are, richard. hell have to explain them in a public forum and make his case. but the question is, it has nothing to do with where he heard the information. it has to do with the information. congress will handle this in a bipartisan way. all this informa...

Called intellink, the oldest and deepest of them and, excuse me, and just typed in the names of anyone that they want in the administration and they would see incidental collection that is part of the national intelligence process. what they wouldnt see is targeted collection against counterintelligence targets like russians and other individuals and terrorists where they would have been in communication with them. that would not have been available to anybody. so for him to bring that out, it i...

Or special committee so is i think this back and forth and what the american people have found out so far, no longer does the congress have credibility to handle this alone. i dont say that lightly. >> david chalian. >> that is a man of authority, obviously, who perhaps can begin to sway his own party. i still think its going to be a tough sell for a lot of republicans who want to protect trump and the white house on this still right now to call for special committee or outside independent inves...

Hes, he just sees things and he reacts to them. this does not, this damages the intelligence process, both of our agencies, you know, agencies that we may have worked at, were having to put, sit there every day, put out high quality product that we think is going to be used to keep the people of the united states protected and then we get this. >> mike, youve been sitting patiently. we talk all the time about this presidency losing credibility, this white house losing credibility, both at home a...

Down isis is so important. stop them overseas. if you cant stop them overseas, have new processes at the border. biometric passports, for example. hardening of cockpit doors. finally, when they get here, you look at programs like the nypd ensure that you have an intelligence process to identify people before they do something. i think securing locations is not going to be efficient. this is not about locations. this is about people. youve got to find people before they do this because you just c...

Come out at the other end. this is where it is bad. i know some of these analysts. let me be clear there is nothing in it for them. these people have devoted their entire lives, some of them have worked 30 to 40 years simply to do what is necessary for the american people and their interest. they are doing it with a great deal of reluctance. >> colonel, what is their main beef that the white house is doing, what? >> the integrity of the intelligence process has been compromised. they do factual ...
