Court application and do the same thing. >> congressman stewart, your response? >> yes. its just simply not true, and time will show that its not true. we look forward to the democratic response to this memo. we look forward to the fbis response. i hope the fbi does respond. i hope that we can declassify and show more and more of this information, and when we do, just like a couple days ago, john, when you and i talked, we said lets let the memo be judged on its own merits. lets let this memo an...

Way to use a dossier to not tell a court where a dossier comes from? any legal questions there? are they legally required to identify the source of the information? >> theyre supposed to allow the judge who is the independent branch of government to have all the facts available. so they can make an unbiassed way a determination as to whether probable cause has met. this is not proof beyond a reasonable doubt in front of a jury trial. this is to start an information. through surveillance. so its ...

Lindsey graham, of course your republican colleague in the senate, he says the following in the statement. mr. steeles work, product was one piece of a larger puzzle as it relates to mr. page and others. i expect the democratic memo in response will likely provide further context. which is it? is -- was the dossier the central reason this warrant was issued? or as republican senator lindsey graham says it was one piece of a larger puzzle? >> well, im reluctant to take andrew mccabes word for thi...

Of fact from this memo, if thats the case, then the fbi necessarily has to let those material omissions of fact hang out there. because the application is classified. its going to remain classified in order to correct them, you have to provide all of this evidence that shows how they got this warrant. for the fbi do that, they would need to go to the president and ask the president to approve the declassification of the application, which would basically completely discredit the memo. >> walter,...

Provided to the court was false, but it was tainted coming from michael -- not michael steele, but -- >> well, it is a copy of the reporting. yes. >> and sorry. it came from the christopher steele dossier. thank you. and yes, the dossier, and so the information in the steele dossier and carter page -- has acknowledged that he did have meetings in moscow, and so it does not prove anything or allege anything in that the memo itself was false or the dossier was false, but everything was politically...

Something that the deputy director of the fbi didnt. furthermore, the deputy director. >> thats not true. >> how do you say the deputy-- read the news. >> testified before the committee in december of 2017 that no surveillance warrant would have been sought, there would have been no warrant from fisa without the steele dossier information. you say theres a mountain of evidence. so far youve cited nothing. theyre citing testimony from the deputy director of the fbi. hes saying he would not have s...
