why give them something when there is no legal merit to it. >> the justice department seems to foresee this late in the filing last night. and i am pair fizing wildly here but if the special mast ser appointed their concern ist really thatap it slows this who thing done, and the review, the director of national intelligence review, to make sure that these documents are not actually are threat to national security, but that review continue, without any further slowdowns. sort they've asked for a numberf sort a of pre-conditions if a third party is appointed that both parties mutually agree on this person, that this person has,is you know, special classified information access, and that they only review a limited number of these documents. do you think that, i mean who has the upper hand here, in terms of like the bargaining, in terms of who gets to be the special master and what his or her purview is. >> i think the justice department does something lawyer does all the time which is to argue in the alternative. they cite a number of reasons why they think a special mast ser not appropriate here. not necessary.

that was one of the cardinal rules that agent strzok broke and a that's shared by a numberf law enforcement and intelligence contacts. >> brian: he's to blame it we are in this spot. he wrote this texts no one asked him to end he had a prestigious job. great job, thanks for setting us up. one of the republican lawmakers there was louie gohmert, things pulledbl over with him. he blasted strzok for the impact he had in public trust in his personal behavior. >> the disgrace, what this man has done. >> the gentleman from texas will suspend for a moment. >> it won't be recaptured anytime soon because of the damage you've done to the justice system. i've talked to fbi agents around the country, you've embarrassed yourself and i can't help but wonder when i see you looking there with a little smirk how many times did you look so

they didn't just steal data. they weaponized it. they dumped it during an election with the specific intent of influencing the outcome of that election and sowing discord in the united states. that's not china has done. that's not something russia has ever done here. >> bring in niles and erin. happy new year. as we get started with this and we hear those words, how big of a fight is this going to be against russia? >> it's going to be a very big fight beus of course, the critical point here is that a numberf republican members of congress would agree basically with the point of view put forth there by congressman schiff, a democrat. russia one of the big issues that seems to separate donald trump from the rest of the republican party. mr. trump obviously has sort of enunciate ad a more sympathetic approach. john mccain was just in ukraine
