Comb comey's admissions come just days after michael horowitz stated in his report that there were significant errors and omissions by the fbi's investigation team when it applied for a fisa warrant to monitor trump's former adviser carter page. >> he was right, i was wrong. i was overconfident in the procedures that the fbi and justice had built over 20 years. that's why i'm telling you i was wrong. i was overconfident as director in our procedures, and it's important that a leader be accountable and transparent. if i were still director, i would be saying exactly the same thing chris wray is...

>> all right. jeff lanza and tim natali, thank you for joining me today. >> thank you. with me is brad sherman. he's a democrat from california and a member of the foreign affairs committee. good having you here. >> good to be here. >> let me get your reaction to this admission of comey who said i did mishandle the investigation into the russia investigation. >> first, it was a process that shouldn't have taken place. there is an ex parte hearing where one side goes to the fisa judge and the other side isn't represented, virtually guarantees there will be some exaggeration or omission. lawye...

Into a wire tap situation or a fisa situation. so it surprises me that this happened given the level of importance in this case and the level of management at the fbi and the department of justice going all the way down to the agents who were involved in writing that fisa. >> but it also gives fuel to the critics here. tim, there is no question that comey has been one of the most polarizing figures in politics to date. i'm wondering, are you surprised that comey wasn't as hands on with this as he was with the hillary clinton email server investigation. how do you think history is going to reme...

Seven layers down, as he explains, were writing the fisa application regarding mr. page. i'm surprised that mr. comey wasn't more involved in monitoring the investigation of associates of a campaign. the last time we know of when the fbi investigated the associates of a campaign was 1968. and the leadership of the fbi as well as the president of the united states were very much involved in the decision to investigate an associate of richard nixon's campaign. they certainly had probable cause for doing it, but it was considered so sensitive that it went right up to the top. i'm surprised in oct...

Vindication in that context. he's not talking about vindication in terms of the mistakes that were made and omissions that were made in the fisa application. >> nonetheless, what do you think this does, jeff, as far as comey's credibility? >> i think it definitely hurts his credibility as former director of the fbi. he's ultimately responsible, at that time he was, of the fisa warrants that are sent to the court. now, he has said, and it's very clear to anyone, that you can't oversee in explicit detail every single investigation that's going on. the fbi has thousands of those at any given time...
