This would bolster the efforts of the investigation and escalate a battle with the Justice Department. This is a serious concern to two former National Security offici officials. This is bad all the way around. This is a very negative development for lots of reasons. It represents an assault on the institutions and it is certainly bad for the fbi and the department of justice. I shudder to think of the morale of the organizations. I actually didnt think it would happen because of the affects that jim described. This crosses threshold that we have not done before. Chris wray was allowed to review the memo and raise concerns. One source says the president erupted last week when he learned of the Justice Department efforts to stop the release. Publishing it would be extraordinary reckless. For more we turn to manu raju on capitol hill. Reporter good morning, christine and dave. A house intelligence kmcommitte voting along party lineses to release the memo of fbi and Justice Department abuse. Suggesting that warrants obtained during the Campaign Season over the adviser carter page were improperly obtained and information given to the fisa judge to approve the warrants. The judge not given the full picture of why the Justice Department was seeking the information. This is according to the allegations in the memo drafted by the staff from the House Intelligence Committee devin nunes. Whoever viewed this document. The president will have to decide whether or not to objectobjec object or approve its release. We expect the president to approve its release. Something that democrats yesterday were saying could cause grave harm to National Security. The white house has made it abundantly clear they want the memo published even though they have not read it. That should tell you all you need to know about the president s priorities. Without reading it or without hearing from the agencies or the fbi over the damage it could do with public release. Reporter the republicans running the investigation, mike conroy pushed back, saying they are prepared to release the democratic memo that was drafted by adam schiff. It comes to the different conclusions than the nunes memo. They want to follow the same procedure that the full house has access to the classified memo and read it and later the committee can decide whether or not to allow for public release. The democrats wanted the schiff memo and nunes memo released at the same time. They want the Justice Department and fbi to brief the full house about the memo before agreeing to its release. There are a lot of questions of the future of the russia investigation and if it can proceed among the fury over the two competing memos and apparent focus of the investigation looking into the Justice Department and the fbi actions in 2016. Christine and dave. Manu, thank you. Lets bring in jackie kucinich. Great to have you, jackie. Great to be here. Republicans have a memo. Democrats have a memo. Do you have a memo . No memo. You know, this is fascinating whats going on in terms of the partisan rancor which is at a new level overnight. The russia investigation into the house, what can you say at this point . It is just in tatters in terms of what nunes has done here. It really is. This was a committee that never really or hadnt been touched bipartisanship. At this point, you have to wonder if they can get it together to get the investigation done in any way that anyone in the suppopublic accept. Forget about bipartisanship with this house intel committee. We used to at least take time and patience with such sensitive information. Why the rush to get this memo out there right now . A really good question. Im guessing it has to do with the president. The president , this is something he wants out. He indicated it is something he is going to approve. He really wants this investigation over and done. The fact of the matter is because of the partisanship in the house and senate, muellers investigation is the only game in town and the president really doesnt have any control over that at the moment. Lets talk about state of the union. The president is having a unifying speech. That is what the white house is saying. At least that is what the script will be in the teleprompter. Remember american carnage . We have gone from the president speaking to his base as president of the United States. Now he has to give the state of the union. Who will he be talking to tonight . It depends on the speech. In terms of immigration, it will be the thing that im most listening to and that democrats and republicans are listening to. Democrats are not pleased with the white house proposal. Particularly the changes to family reunification and the visa lottery program. They all made their peace with the wall for letting the d. R. E. A. M. Ers stay. The other pillars will be a problem. The other side of the coin, immigration hard liners are upset with the president and the idea he will have a path to citizenship or amnesty for 1. 8 Million People. So he managed to tick off both sides with that proposal. He will be trying to pressure democrats into buying into this. He has his problem on his right flank as well. He will talk about infrastructure. The infrastructure plan he has been pushing. He will have problems on his own party with spending. Frankly, were in a mid term year. Democrats will be hesitant to give the president any wins going into the 2018 election. You talk about the right flank. There are some who want him to be more of the guy they elected. Not the guy who spoke at davos who made concessions and did not talk about a trade war and the like. You wonder. That guy doesnt get reelected. The daily beast reported they are trying to keep him away from Chuck Schumer who may be inclined to make a deal within terms of immigration. You know. It is always the last person the president talks to is the one he agrees with. See who is in the room last. Chuck schumer has an interesting oped in the post this morning about the state of the union. Suggesting there is Common Ground with infrastructure. He did layout the case with their vision of infrastructure is different than the white house is proposing. I want to ask you about the speech versus the rhetoric and tweets that follow. Ari fletcher says he has little message discipline. Every time he moves the ball down the field, he seems to derail with a tweet days later. How important is the speech versus the 24to48 hours that follow . You know, with a normal presidency, you would not have to worry about the 24to48 hours that follow. It is important that the president stay on message. He has an excellent track record of saying something and getting praise and stepping on it himself by a tweet or something happens and he reacts to it on his twitter feed or verb abally. Whether the president he is not planning on doing the travel sweep that a lot of president s do following a state of the union. Maybe they are hoping that he continues to stay on message. Whatever that message is. And you mention afghanistan. The third president in 17 years of presiding over american troops in afghanistan. Three terrible attacks recently. One wonders the National Security component. Jackie, thank you. Some tickets for the state of the Union Address with a typo. Inviting people to the state of the uniom. Unclear how many teickets had typos. The sergeant in arms reprinted the affected tickets. Those who have not picked up pictu tickets have been swapped out. Senate republicans failing to pass a bill that would criminalize abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. That came up short of the 60 votes needed. The opposition mostly from democrats. The bill passed the house in october. It includes exceptions in cases of rape and incest and when the life of the mother is at risk. The president called the vote disappointing.

The administration taking a different approach. Just before midnight, the Treasury Department released a Russian Oligarch list. It names more than 200 politicians and business men with kremlin ties. For now, the people on the list are on notice. No new sanctions yet. Lets go to moscow and Fred Pleitgen. Fred, what is the reaction there . Reporter christine, the reaction is building up here in moscow. In fact, the spokesman for Vladimir Putin came out with new comments saying the russian government believes the list declaring all of the russian government as enemies of the United States. There was criticism it was more harsh from other senior lawmakers. One saying this jeopardizes relations with the United States and russia if they could get any worse than they already are. One of the reasons why there is a harsh reaction to the list in particular and it seems strange is because it doesnt involve new sanctions. A lot of the oligarchs are the list fear being on the list will make it difficult for them to get create banks and do business internationally and could land them on the sanctions list in the future. Christine, we have to recall all of this is being done by the Treasury Department because of russias alleged meddling in the u. S. Election in 2016. The current director of the cia doesnt believe it is a oneoff. He says the russians are still at it. Here is what mike pompeo had to say with the british broadcaster bbc. The russians have a long history of these information campaigns. That part of it is not new. That technology that enables it is now cheap and plentiful and the capability of transferring information around the world is simpler than it was in world war ii or decades ago. This threat will not go away. The russians have been at this a long time. I expect them to be at it. Reporter as you can see, christine, a lot of friction and distrust with the u. S. And russia. You know one of the things that President Trump has been saying over the past couple weeks and months, basically since he came into office, he wants better relations with russia. Judging by what were seeing today, it seems it is not going in that direction, christine. Thank you, Fred Pleitgen for us if mosct in moscow. A Russian Military jet performed an unsafe intercept of the u. S. Plane over the black sea. The american pilots say the jet came within five feet of their aircraft. Intercept forced the navy plane to end the mission prematurely. This is the latest in the series of unsafe actions. The Russian Military says the crew flew in with international rules.

Im urging the american people, seize these new opportunities to produce, to save, to invest and together well make this economy a mighty engine of freedom, hope and prosperity again. The economy has been a primary focus in states of the union dating back decades. Expect more of the same from President Trump who used the economy to tout his success in the first year. We were fortunate to book our chief correspondent on business. Christine romans. Glad you are ann early riser. Every president wants to take credit for economic gamein. He will brag about it. The American Economy is booming. He will take credit for that. Lets talk about the stats he has to back him up. Stocks and jobs and corporate profits. Gang busters. These were strong when trump took over. His probusiness attitude flipped a switch. Consumer confidence and optimism at alltime highs. The cheerleader in chief bragging his way to an economic boom. There are spots in the strong economy. Unemployment rate at 17year low. That doesnt include the americans not in the labor force. 95 Million People who are not working and not in the labor market. The majority of them are retired and some in school and taking care of a loved one. That leaves 6 million workers unaccounted for here. What about jobs . There were 2 million jobs created during President Trumps first year. That is a great number. 2 million jobs. Lets put it in context. This is important. That pace is the slowest in six years. That is not unusual after years of expansion. You hear employers say they cannot find workers. Jobs are growing. Wages are not. Because of globalization and parttime workers keeping wages in check. Lets talk about the sizzle stock market. Great news for the 401 k . This is good news for anybody in the investor class. That is only about half of americans. The wealthier you are, the more likely you are to benefit. These are all numbers that im sure the president will use. Look, he bragged his way into economic boom. He really has. The one characteristic of donald trump that his detractors hate is his big mouth. His big mouth is good for investors. It forced companies, maybe in cases, make investments in the u. S. Exxonmobil announced 50 billion in additional spending over the next five years. Is that additional or are they advertising . The switch has flipped. Companies want to show how much theyre spending in the u. S. Do you think he will name check individual companies . I think he might. I think he might. Interesting. Christine romans, thank you. We will get results of the state investigation into the false missile alert in hawaii. The probe has now wrapped up weeks after the mishap that sent the islands population running for shelter.
