Chris wray can make it. i don't think anyone else can speculate. >> nick, your reaction to that? >> yeah, my reaction is this is extremely significant. in fact the only party that's going to gain anything out of this memo appears to be the russians. because they're going to have classified information about sources relating to our fisa process, how we go about doing the fisa process, and i agree with the other guests that were speaking before. this really is a dud. it doesn't prove anything. but it is going to help the russians and it is the second time that donald trump has released top-secre...

Okay, so we're back and looking ahead as if this memo does get the green light from president trump and his justice department, what does that mean? because the doj is not happy about this, it does not think this memo should come out. it has grave concerns. and that has former fbi director, james comey, saying this. all should appreciate the fbi speaking up, comey tweeted. i wish more of our leaders would. he says but take heart, american history shows that in the long run, weasels and liars never hold the field, so long as good people stand up. not a lot of streets named for joe mccarthy. i'm...

President and undermine the russia investigation and it may not all add up to that. >> let me bring in nick. nick, i think your mike is back working with us so thank you. talk through a little bit, is it legitimate? because paul ryan, other republicans have raised concerns. they have said, yeah, it's not about the special counsel, it really is about fisa surveillance and this program put in place to basically protect americans here. do they have legitimate concerns that could potentially be addressed by this memo? no, nick's mike is not working again. nick, we will come back to you, i swear. l...
