Overstated -- underestimated the zb degree to which the fbi was manipulating the information? >> i would say theres almost total consensus there this and it is an instance where solomon was piling on where it wasnt originating with solomon. thats an important distinction to draw here. he has published 45 articles with "the hill" and he works with "fox news". a lot of the reporting lines up directly with the result of the investigation rudy giuliani ultimately sent to the state department. i sepa...

>> you probably heard his name coming from ranking member devin nunes. his piece served as fodder for the likes of nunes and rudy giuliani in their defense of donald trump. but in this age of trump, one mans source is anothers conspiracy theorist. and media matters this morning has named solomon their misinformer of the year. lets bring in the president and ceo of media matters for america, angelo. and, karine is with us and has the first question. karine. >> hey,ing an know. >> angelo. >> good ...

Id like to remind each element from california mr. solomon also said he had no direct evidence. he presumed that was going on. >> the gentleman is recognized for a minute an and a half. >> on march the 11th of this year, the speaker of the house so the following in an interview in "the washington post" commit impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there is something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan i dont think we should go down that path because it divides the countr...

>> really? i respect mr. raskin but im not sure he got that statement out without stumbling over everything. you cannot say -- talk about metadata and numbers. at some point, somebody with a ranking members phone number have to go and look for the ranking members phone number. they had to go look for mr. solomons phone number. this is what they dont want to deal with. this is how bad it is screwed up. i know they want to gloss over process and how they did the investigation. this is what we are ...

Any investigative resources. oh, thats -- >> really? i mean i respect mr. raskin, but im not sure he got that statement out without stumbling over everything. you cannot say -- talk about numbers, at some point, somebody with the ranking members phone number had to look for the ranking members phone number and look for mr. solo mons phone number. this is what they dont want to deal with how bad it is screwed up. they want to gloss over process and how they did their investigation because the t...

Political vendetta by putting phone records in, naming names. i mean, you talk about getting even. we put names. mr. nunes, mr. solomon, others on those four numbers that we looked at and nobody would own up to it. mr. goldman, mr. schiff of course wasnt here, but even mr. goldman wouldnt own up to who said would do that when they could simply put in the record congressman one, reporter two, no they got their drive by, they got their political smear. thats the record being built in judiciary com...

Here is the problem, sean, and you have not hit on this yet. this is the part where the committee and intelligence actually tapped into phone records. they found phone records and went at it and found nunes and solomon and others. it is either schiff but they would not prove that. they want to smear them. they want to smear them, sean. this is a drive by nothing but a smear category because they have nothing else in the schiffhe report that made sense. what do they do? lets me of the colleagues....

The presidents agent, he was acting on behalf of the president expressing the presidents wishes, desires. >> so what evidence that the committee find that corroborated the quote everyone is in the loop. >> ambassador sondland produced from his public testimony and i think its very important in light of the testimony a minute ago as to how many times mr. solomon did not remember in his deposition because we agree it was egregious. but the advantage of doing that close deposition is that mr. sondl...

Nadler. at the same time, brooke, this comes down to the fact that the white house doesnt want to legitimize this process by participating. as you know, its continually called the impeachment probe and the house a sham, baseless, partisan and so the concern is that if it did participate and accept this invitation from jerry nadler it would legitimize it and democrats say this is a legitimate inquiry, has to do with the constitution and democrats believe the president abused the power of his offi...

News, quote, the committee did not subpoena call records for any member of congress or their staff, including ranking member nunes or for any journalist, including mr. solomon. any questions about the fact that members, congressional staff, or journalists appear in call records released by the committee should be directed at those individuals, who were in contact with individuals of investigative interest to the impeachment inquiry. chairman adam schiff and the committee have still not said exac...
