department that conspiracy theory is an attack on the judicial process itself wolf, while this hearing is largely about, or supposed to be about the contempt proceeding, republicans want to bring against merrick garland related to his handling of the investigation of joe biden in the interview there where there's an audio recording thing that isn't being released. classified documents case? yes. that resulted in no charges. >> much of the broader conversation is about misleading information, conspiracy theories that are being spread primarily by donald trump's somebody that is being prosecuted by the justice department. >> so a lot there for both garland to push back on and for house republicans to question him about important points. katelyn polantz, thanks very much. lauren fox. thanks to you as well. let's discuss this and more with the former attorney general of the united states, alberto gonzales, attorney general. what's your reaction to hearing? at least so far? what the attorney general merrick garland is saying, his forceful defense of

we'll jeopardize sources and methods. people may lose lives but what it revealed is 17 violations of law by the f.b.i. and what resulted in a felony conviction. the contrary with regard to mar-a-lago, within 48 hours f.b.i. agents, the only ones with access to photographs, top secret documents at that time, those were all over the internet and no talk about protecting sources and methods and lives being in danger. it is using a sword and shield as convenient. what speaker mccarthy is focused on here, dana, i think in backing jamie comer in this contempt proceeding is send a message, a couple of them. send a message to the f.b.i. for the next two years we're not going to let you get away with what is perceived to be a two-party system or approach to these investigations where the f.b.i. is being political. i think he is also sending a message to his both republican base and the american public at large that look, we want an

in 2017 it was director wray when the nunez fisa memo came out we wanted to see those fisa applications he said we would be jeopardizes sources and methods and would cause great damage to our national security. turns out the only thing it was protecting was 17 violations of the law by the fbi according to the inspector general. so, you know, this is kind of more of the same. and i think that director wray has run out of rope with respect to republicans. and from a legal standpoint, he's going to lose this battle. you know, the fbi is created by congress and congress has an oversight role here. no legal or constitutional privilege, and i would expect james, jamie comer to move forward with this contempt proceeding. >> and it feels like sources -- how many times were sources and methods revealed or compromised when, you know, topics with less -- with even more gravity were leaked to the press against donald trump. i mean, they've hid behind that, now they're saying he can't
