The department of justice and fbi redact anything from our memo. [ inaudible question ] >> that was not the subject of the motion today. the last thing ill mention is that i also move that the transcript of the open proceeding be made available to the public tomorrow. the chair committed that would happen as soon as possible because i think you need to read the transcript to see my colleagues on the one hand argue for full transparency and then vote down a motion to make public the minority memo...

Departments concerns. the director of the fbi asked for the opportunity to come before the committee and express those concerns, but that request was denied by the chairman today. >> what was the rational of your memo, why its not released publicly as of now? >> they made the request to release it in a statement advocating release saying we need full transparency. so, when i moved to have the minority memo released in the interest of full transparency, they evidently took the view that full tran...

Mike conaway and the people like myself we continue to do interviews and see the importance of getting to the bottom of the russia hack without prejudice. the whole point that the republicans made today was the transparen transparency. lets do full transparency, not republican transparency but they said no. some indicated a llness what they had a chance to review the memo to make it public. well do something the republicans did not do which is well share our memo with the department of justice a...

To give us an answer thats not broken up between democrats and republicans. not on health care or taxation. on a foundational issue, whether russia interfered, we are not get an answer. theres history on how to do this. the most sensitive i have seen the past ten years, the release of a document of al qaeda prisoners and secret prisons, the majority put out a report and the minority did. all three different. they agreed the american people should see the full story. we cant see the full story he...

Direction and we wonuldnt be having this conversation right now. im really glad that senator feinstein did this. what we need most of all is transparen transparency. >> malcolm, you were signaling agreement. >> absolutely. so long as the information were getting -- by the way, the information were getting right now is a fraction of what is in the hands of the special counsel robert mueller. just imagine what he has. when it comes out, whether its in the a report or leaks in the future, this is g...

Spouses or therapist. and a lot of people on capitol hill are starting to say, this process is really stacked. and our producer frank thorpus reached out to democrats and republicans who said they didnt know anything about the settlement with john conyers. theres an incredible lack of transparen transparency. and we have a statement from the house speaker paul ryan. he says, quote, this report is extremely troubles. last month i directed the xheep on house administration to conduct a full review...

All russian-linked ads to congress. special counsel robert mueller only received copies with a search warrant but now facebook is changing. part of the new plan, according to ceo mark zuckerberg. >> we are in a new world. it is a new challenge for internet communities to have to deal with nation states attempting to subvert eelections, but if thats what we must do, we are submitted to rising to the occasion. >> a new strategy after a lot of criticism. they will also beef up how it reviews politi...

Try to clamp down, try to intimidate and threaten. thats one thing an administration can do. they could take away cell phones, i dont think it will help, are the leakers the problem or are the cause of a lot of the leaks, the frustrations in the white house, some of the things the president does to his own party and own white house, maybe if they solve those or dealt with those, some of the leaks would stop. >> how about a just having more transparen transparency. >> we know jared kushner will b...

Rank hypocrisy. that he says things -- >> you dont like him? >> he says things that arent true. i think he is a smart politician. you have a very good point. if he put out his tax returns, lets assume theres nothing nefarious, he is not hiding anything that could be russian ties or something like that. you never know where that might go. the press could have focused on that a lot and the election might have turned out difficultly. it was a smart strategic move. obviously, if you are a journalist...
