Opposition research. there is a number of in the weeds factual disputes that are underlying this whole argument that the memo goes through and sheds new light upon. >> and that was a great breakdown. no surprise that president trump was out over the weekend saying the democratic memo hasnt disproven anything and he reiterated something that weve heard from him time and time again which there is no collusion between his campaign and the russians. take a listen to what he told fox news over the we...

The weekend titled "five takeaways from the release from the democratic mem o"what do you think people should be taking away from this. >> so a lot of this confirmed what weve been hearing off the record or on background from sources but now we see it in a declassified memo that contains verbatim excerpts from the underlying surveillance application as the heart of this dispute. one piece of it is, yes, the information from the notorious steele dossier was used in this application of a former tr...

There is new fallout today in the wake of that highly anticipated memo released by democrats over the weekend. the ten-page document was a sharp rebuttal to the republican version that came out earlier this month. that memo compiled by house intelligence chairman devin nunes accused the fbi of abusing its powers to conduct surveillance on a former trump campaign adviser. the democrats claim that the memo was full of distortions an part of an effort to discredit the bureau during the russia inves...

2013 has been surveilled as part of our counter intelligence efforts to protect this country. and youve got a memo with basically a trump enemys list, and what makes them all enemies is they found out about it. >> yeah, maybe ill state it in a little plainer way, nicolle. four times a federal court found that donald trumps foreign policy advisor was a russian spy. and so if you just think about that, it shows you how irresponsible the trump campaign was even at vetting its own people. and i just...

Disclosed, it was funded by political opponents of donald trump, just not named hillary clinton or the democrats. under the rules they dont name people. that could be an example of where this is deeply misleading, because analysts have said as long as they said this is information thats coming from people who dont like donald trump, theyre covered there. but just stepping back, look, as a journalist i found this to be deeply disappointing because its essentially a bust. because it does not speak...
