The judge would have to make that application. the central claim is that the whole warrant to monitor carter page, and of course the president carries this forward to say really the entire russia investigation is based all on the steele dossier, the nunes memo itself notes that there was also information included in that warrant application from george papadopoulos, former trump campaign adviser, who months earlier told an australian diplomat that he knew russia had damaging information on hillary clinton, information that that australian diplomat considered important enough that he then share...

Heard it, is that they almost always authorize what the fbi and the justice department, as they rarely reject a request. >> so that's really inaccurate. we went through this process and we went through the very careful process, by the way, in the committee a few years ago to bring in a fisa judge not as a witness. this was all negotiated, to come in and talk through how all of that process worked. we kept getting these allegations that as an fbi guy, i know it wasn't true. i sign the application and it gets signed off by a whole bunch of check-offs. agents, the legal department in the fbi, the...
