Trump dictated the statement himself.

Wrong here. one more piece of a very, very bad mosaic. >> the president claims that even if he colluded, he says collusion is not a crime. so what kind of jeopardy do you think his son donald trump jr. is in after this revelation from the president? >> well, i think you have a conspiracy here. and a conspiracy is a crime. its based upon an illegal act that is obtaining information from a foreign government. opposition research is extro extraordinarily expensive. hillary clinton spent a lot of mo...

Because in the first one, not the fourth one which is the one he signed off on. they say that the steele dossier was used part of the application that was true and they didnt tell the judge, the judges that the steele document was compiled by somebody who was paid for it by an alternative campaign, except that they did tell them specifically and nunes and this point jordan is lying about it. >> paul ryan says he doesnt

Took office. >> they point out that on the third renewal on the fisa application for page, he signed off on the third renewal when he was in office. and it had a lot of material in it that the first three didnt showing that they had hit pay dirt information with respect to being a russian agent. without which he wouldnt have gotten a renewal and saying he shouldnt have signed off on it. because in the first one, not the fourth one which is the one he signed off on. they say that the steele dossi...

Nunes memo was not very long. it was 13 paragraphs long. you can look at it and see is this right, is this right. the most contentious point, the point about whether the fbi told the court that the hillary clinton campaign and the dnc were behind the dossier and the nunes memo said they didnt do that. now we can see that in fact they did not. so it -- the release of the fisa warrant has been very good because its helped settle an argument that has been going on for months now. >> laura: jan, im ...

Analytica, honing in on the clinton voters with all kinds of phony stories, fake news to keep the clinton voters from going to the polls. all it took were 60,000 voters and three states to turn that election. >> malcolm nance, we revisited the steele dossier yesterday. john mccain detailed his trip to nova scotia to a national security conference and talked about when he first received that document from a british official. he said to go to hell for handing that over to the fbi as he did. how sa...

May have a lot of information about about russia is bad and the bad things that russia is trying to do. but you dont have anything that shows that carter page is an agent of a foreign power as that term is defined under fisa law. brian: right. and you talk about they didnt include the wiretaps that show that the russians didnt think much of carter page as a source or a resource dating back from 2013. and how he helped the fbi in 2015 russian bad guys. to the heart of this. what did they actually...

Himself a bad ombre. that democrat memo is a weak and pathetic effort to cover up for the failures of the democrat party to come out honestly on this. the steele document was the driving force hipd tbehind the court awarding those warrants. without those, there would be no case whatsoever. they did not tell the judge it was funded by the administration, it was buried in the footnote that was hard to understand. >> i would assume the fisa judge reads the footnotes. >> i read that thing five times...

Steele dossier was salacious and unverified. is this pointing to what the fbi said were material -- material -- im forgetting the word, things left out of the dossier. >> omissions. >> material omissions. thank you very much. >> what we dont see in this document is what else was in the affidavit. and what portions of the steele dossier was actually used to bolster an fbi affidavit for a fisa. you know, it is written -- it is pieced together a bunch of different information weve seen already. and...

>> john, you were on the air a little earlier today and you said we have the president of the united states now having issue to the american public a memo that the director of the fbi said is false. that is never happened in our democracy. >> yeah, katy, the problem you just highlighted a moment ago is i think the story of this memo. when i read it today, having personally signed warrant requests that are usually 50, 60, 70 pages long, i have to assume and believe that this memo is very selectiv...
