Basis for continuing this fisa. >> i'm limited on time. an important quick final question. we've all heard about christopher steele. you dealt with him. did he strike you as being motivated bipartisanship, by annimus toward donald trump or concern over security? >> the latter. look, he is a serious guy. he was the mi-6 russia specialist for many years. and we'll have in the forthcoming book some very interesting stories about the role that he played for mi-6. he had this private investigative firm. he was well regarded in the field. he was known as a russia specialist. he had been a source for...
