The fisa warrants . The concern grows out of the fact the failures in information that should have been given wasnt given and the question being what was the intent . What was the motivation and what we have determined was we could not definitively say what the motivation was. Are these pretty smart people come up fairly well educated . Well, well educated. I was going to say. They have law degrees, right . At least some of them do. So for people at this level of the organization . To be clear, the stuff that didnt happen on the view was basic staff. You didnt need to be deeply experienced fbi agent to be able to do with the right way. That is my point. Wouldnt you say that would be Muscle Memory for people going through this process to know that they have an obligation to go through that . They clearly should have. So wouldnt it be reasonable if they didnt call you cant answer this question but to me, it seems have something a standard at that process for you go to fisa court, to not
recognize same-sex marriages, even if obergefell v. hodges, the spring court case that the strength right to same sex marriage in off to states were to fall. it would also re-peel the defense of marriage act, which defines marriage between a man and a woman. it is a significant move that the legislation has limitations. notably, it allows religious organizations to still deny services to lgbtq couples under the guise of their personal beliefs, meaning it still makes members of the lgbtq community second-class citizens in some cases. what s more is that 36 senate republicans voted against the respect for marriage act meaning that 36 senators wanted to make members of the lgbtq community second-class citizens in all cases. today 71% of americans believe same-sex marriages should have the same legal recognitions of marriages between a man and a woman. for the first time, if a number of same-sex households in the

you did not do a russian collusion investigation did you? we did not. you did not do special counsel report? and a lot of questions to date here to do with what you talked about today? certainly. i wonder if that was politically motivated. what i found interesting was that we do have people who are using this as a platform on the other side of the aisle that says, now we need to revise and look at the fisa process. i don t know why you would use this as a platform to do that unless you thought this was a clear case where the fisa process was abused. and then if you look at this information, this ecosystem of smart people, who i think, turned a blind eye to damning evidence to serve as a basis for renewing the fisa reports, it is beyond my comprehension. the weight of this evidence, in your report, i think is pretty strong.
relates to those case agents should be released to other criminal defendants under the department s policy? i think these raises those kind of issues for the department to review and consider what they have to do to remedy anything here. for those folks watching this back at home in iowa, can you talk about the giglio policy? so in criminal cases, for example, when an agent is found to engage in misconduct, whether by a judge or by the department of justice, there is an obligation under spring court case called the giglio case to notify the defendant of the wrongdoing or harm or misconduct, impeachable evidence, those sorts of things. that obligation is taken seriously, has to be taken seriously. and i have done law enforcement corruptions asa and one of the first things we do including now
