Expert on this, why in the world is the president saying im going to keep it secret? as alfonso pointed out, americans dont like secrets. >> im not shocked by this, chris. its very clear democrats included some sensitive information in this memo to make the point all the information did not come from the christopher steele dossier. and some of it is troubling some law enforcement intelligence officials. they want to work with it so they can change it so it can still be released bleeding out some...

Released make the same points but leaving out more sensitive information. >> do you think thats the presidents reason or his excuse? >> im sure there are things that are embarrassing for them and that theyd also like to u the redaction process to get rid of. but the democrats are going to fight hard. its part of a push and pull. when youre dealing with highly classified information, this is often how it plays out. the senate investigation, the cia torture took two years to declassify that report...

>> i dont have any idea. >> i think you have an idea. do you really not have an idea? ill give you an idea, she didnt do it under oath, but i would do it -- and you know she didnt do it under oath, right? if you didnt know about hillary, then youre not much of a reporter. >> so you would do it under oath? >> i would do it under oath, absolutely. >> that is, congressman, a peek at the push and pull. we track donald trump a lot around here, but i will note, he is accurate about the fact that as is...
