in how it characterize what s andy mccabe said, in how the application was put together and it is also misleading in so many omission that s would put it into focus can only be seen by the public if the democratic smoim released. let s talk about the andy mccabe thing, now the former deputy director, testified before the house intelligence committee. now the republicans say that he said, quote no, surveillance warrant would have been sought from the fisa court without the steele dossier information. they re paraphrasing. that s not a quote from him. republican members saying that s true and it is on tape. you re saying it is incorrect? if they were willing to be so reckless with classified information, why didn t they release the direct quote from his classified testimony? they didn t do it because he didn t say that. it mischaracterizes what he said. what did he say? well, jake, i m not going two wrongs don t make a right. i m not going to leak classified
its early stages by political bias. specifically the steele dossier paid for by democrats and the clinton campaign. it is xlamd the justice department and justice department omitted the province of it. there are serious questions raised by the memo. that they should make sure it doesn t violate any american civil liberties and not be used to make counter intelligence decisions. but speaker ross caution that had members of congress not use to it impugn the integrity of justice system and the fbi though that is precisely how president trump and his supporters are using this memo as mr. trump escalates his tikes u.s. law enforcement agencies. the justice department and fbi run by the president s own appointees say that the memo is
one of the things that s interesting, there is a factual debate going on. my dad used to say, argue opinions, don t argue facts. facts speak for themselves. did the deputy director say that the fisa warrant would not have been object takened without the steele dossier. some are saying yes, some are saying. no and another said there is a tape of it. i think the solution is, if the transparency is the cause, and i totally agree, let s release everything. let s release the democratic memo. the canctranscripts, the fisa. whatever your dad said about facts being facts, there are alternative facts with this administration and that seems to be, if you look at the four corners of the documents they
release. yes, they should release the democratic one so we have the if you will picture. the four corners of the document defy what republicans are saying. it says in the document itself that yes, preliminary corroboration of the steele dossier was happening. the george papadopoulos information was also part of it. so just in the four corners of the document itself, it goes against what they are saying. so you know, it is just mind-boggling what s happening. this is why these committees operate in a bipartisan way. i don t think the purpose of this document was to clarify. i think the purpose was to muddy. and i think it is to muddy at a particular time when we think the special counsel is moving toward conclusion. at least on the obstruction of justice investigation. we know they re investigating to get, to be able to question president trump. we assumed that would come toward end of it. and that i think may be one reason we re seeing it happen. and one reason it is confusing
