The information that is available. you cannot make material omissions. that is an important distinction and an important difference. >> shannon: which of these things do you think would be most helpful? the democrats memo, the underlying fisa applications, the documents underlying the house intelligence memo -- some of this has to be classified material that we cant get. what do you think we can get and what you think will be most helpful to the whole picture? >> a mostly unredacted democratic m...

Totally vindicates trump. keeping him honest, whatever else you might think of the nunes document, whether you believe as the fbi does that it contains, quote, material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memos accuracy, one thing is plain just from reading it. the memo does not exonerate or vindicate anyone, let alone president trump. it largely deals with applications for fisa surveillance court warrants targeting carter page, the one-time foreign policy adviser to the trump campai...

News article was sufficient and a dossier is all that was used? the material omissions are everything. what else was used to support and substantiate? it may well be that there are lapses in judgment or there are huge areas that were not investigated or vetted. that would belie the entire process of going through a fisa court and a fisa warrant. it has to be a full investigation. its not based on one or two documents but the compilation of context and vetted information and a lot of accurate fac...

Or at least under surveillance. you know, we had been promised a bombshell that was going to make watergate look like a parking ticket. there really wasnt anything there along those lines. when i reached the final page, i kept thinking maybe i hadnt printed out all of the pages. >> you said theres context missing. give us some examples. >> they fundamentally are undermining it. theyre saying you have to discredit any investigation. theres a material misleading of fact. it doesnt -- it leaves out...

Of fact from this memo, if thats the case, then the fbi necessarily has to let those material omissions of fact hang out there. because the application is classified. its going to remain classified in order to correct them, you have to provide all of this evidence that shows how they got this warrant. for the fbi do that, they would need to go to the president and ask the president to approve the declassification of the application, which would basically completely discredit the memo. >> walter,...

Christopher wray, as well as from officials at the department of justice, the memo is in all likelihood going to be released. how will we know this? we know it because the president himself said he wants it out. hes been calling for it. on tuesday night he said the odds of it being released are 100%. >> release the memo? >> dont worry. 100%. could you imagine? >> again, the grave concerns of the republican fbi director, who the president himself chose, have not swayed him. and according to new r...

Intelligence services less likely to provide information for us if they think that the information theyre providing is somehow going to make its way to the public domain here in the united states. but there wasnt anything in the memo that struck me as particularly sensitive. >> dana: have you heard from any of your sources, i know you have a lot of issues, that are concerned about the alleged abuses or concerns about what this could do to impede the current cases. >> yeah. look, i dont think you...

Steele dossier was salacious and unverified. is this pointing to what the fbi said were material -- material -- im forgetting the word, things left out of the dossier. >> omissions. >> material omissions. thank you very much. >> what we dont see in this document is what else was in the affidavit. and what portions of the steele dossier was actually used to bolster an fbi affidavit for a fisa. you know, it is written -- it is pieced together a bunch of different information weve seen already. and...
