Amused that theres a leak about him finding a leak within the fbi. i want to know everything that happened in 2016 and whether andy mccabe was leaking for or against hillary clinton. i think its important for all of us to know. i do find it interesting that you and i work in a town where leaks are so pervasive. we have an inspector general whose not supposed to discuss his report until its made public and yet you and i are having a conversation about what is in his non-public report so i have a ...

>> martha: so obviously the democrat memo of the rebuttal to your memo came out over the weekend and youve had a chance to look it over, no doubt. what did you think about their assertion that there was plenty of other reason to surveil carter page other than the dossier? >> well, my first reaction of that is if had you a bunch of other reasons to get a fisa application on carter page, then why did you need the dossier in the yahoo news article. if you have enough information without using the d...

Is kind of like a big picture you know the force versus the trees. no one is talking about that the fbi went and got a surveillance warrant the quarter page back in 2016 at the height of the presidential election. based on everything we have learned throughout reporting of fox news, even when you look at the other media reporting, it really seems abundantly clear that quarter page is not the focus of robert mueller is special counsel investigation. into russian interference in the us elections. ...

In the republican memo is that christopher steele, his contact was terminated with the fbi after they concluded that he lied about contact with the media. he was directed by fusion gps, the opposition research firm to brief a half-dozen american media outlets. about the findings of the dossier in an effort to supersede that narrative in media reporting here with the democrats version says right here is that once the fbi cut off contact with christopher steele, the british spy, this was shared wi...

To coming out and saying were going to do whatever you need? >> pretty irreconcilable. i think, i think the culture has gotten to a weird place where actually i saw some statistics in media reporting. the last couple big shootings, theres been not much coverage. the one in kentucky we barely heard about it. i heard about it the next day because i wasnt watching my news feed closely. even though i think the church shooting in texas, it was about two days where theyre usually five or six days. and...

Reviewed them all the time. i cant remember one that relied on media reporting for any aspect of this. relying on media seems crazy. the fbi has a lot of resources. they dont need to just read a newspaper and try to include that as a basis for probable cause. they can investigate and interview the people themselves and have much more reliable information. >> dana: howard kurtz is author of "media madness." also host of "media buzz." congratulations on the book. >> thank you very much. >> dana: l...

But i want to ask you about something else, which is this question that john roberts brought up about the corroboration of using the media to corroborate something to then present to the court. what do you think of that? >> thats really kind of a shocking thing. i was a prosecutor for 27 years. i looked at numerous affidavit, reviewed them. i cant remember one that relied on media reporting for any aspect of this. and, frankly, with the leaks that comey made to the media, kind of the wrong perso...

At the f.b.i. sought a surveillance warrant and told the committee, the house intelligence committee it would not have been possible without the use of this dossier. thats important because the dossier was funded by the clinton campaign as well as the dnc. we also understand based on our reporting this morning that this kind of information about the sourcing and financing of the dossier was not shared with the foreign intelligence surveillance court that provides the ability of law enforcement t...

Republican party hasnt been easy to work with. not just democrats throwing up opposition to the plans laid out somewhat. republicans have been doing so. >> julie: all right. we apologize. weve been waiting for this much-anticipated and controversial memo. we have more information on that now. >> jon: lets go to catherine herridge in washington >> thank you, jon. fox news can confirm the four-page memo has been declassified. a letter was sent this morning from the white house. based on intelligen...
