let's ask him. >> in the big picture, carter page, some say what about papadopoulos. they started looking at him earlier. what do you say to that? >> if papadopoulos was such a major figure, why didn't you get a warrant on him? papadopoulos was such a major figure, you had nothing on him. the guy lied. as far as we can tell, papadopoulos never even knew who trump -- never even had met with the president. >> never even met. well, that's not true exactly. there's actually photographic evidence to prove that papadopoulos met the president. papadopoulos photographed in a march of 2016 meeting in trump's foreign policy advisory staff. he's not that far away from him. two seats away from him. paul butler former prosecutor and clint weiss, msnbc national security contributor. i want to go to clint on this question. would there be reason if carter worked for the russians, was there reason to check him out, surveil him, to bug him, to wire tap him, if you will, if he was known to work with the russians at the time the russians were involved with influencing our elections? >> y

they will make the case there were good reasons to survey carter page. let's find out what facts they specifically dispute in the memo that was released. >> the fisa judge was not told material facts? >> i'm not sure they can. but i'm waiting. i'm saying watch what they disbeauty. we have seen a lot of smoke from both sides. >> has adam schiff disputed this? >> he gets the softest treatment, a featherbed wherever he goes. >> in his multiparagraph statement he said things were not correct. what are the facts you specifically say are not true? then we can assess from there and have a better sense. >> he goes in no harm's way when the questions are asked. thank you del wilber, francesca chambers and eli lake. alright, i brought in high protein to help get us moving. ...and help you feel more strength and energy in just two weeks! i'll take that. -yeeeeeah! ensure high protein. with 16 grams of protein and 4 grams of sugar. ensure. always be you. ♪ >>> welcome back. i'm hugh hewitt. andrew mccarthy is a former senior federal prosecutor. the man who put the

carter page was not an innocent babe in the woods who was being attacked by the fbi. in 2013, this hasn't been mentioned at all. in 2013 russian intelligence agents tried to reprove carter page as an agent for the russians in this country. in 2014, this was years before donald trump ran for president, carter page was the subject of a separate fisa warrant. carter page has a long history and it seems unlikely -- the dossier may have played a role into the degree, that is very troubling and may be corrupt but very unlikely that that was the only evidence that was brought. carter page had a long history and the fbi had him on his radar for fashionable relations with the russians for four or five years. >> harris: all of that being the facts, what does it have to do with the trump campaign? that is such a basic question but it's important. those fisa documents would've been separate. they may have been part of a pool where they look at the sky, we looked at him before. it's my understanding when they look to surveilled, it's an independent request, again based on those cu

it's well before the fisa warrant on carter page which was in october. it refers to then campaign george papadopoulos who according to "the new york times" told a new york diplomate over drinks russians had political dirt on hillary clinton. they said it did not start as a result of papadopoulos whom another trump adviser famously dismissed as a mere, quote, coffee boy. instead they have long said that the steele dossier was the reign for the russian investigation. which they said made the entire investigation a sham since as the nunes memo alleges that was ultimately made for by democrats during the campaign. so the dossier had nothing to do with the launch of the russia investigation. and the gop in this memo intended to discredit the whole thing actually admits that. but the memo will not give up on the dossier being at the core of the russia investigation. ittal ledges dossier was serious abuse at the highest levels of fbi in obtaining the fisa warrant on carter page. it then says then deputy director andrew mccabe quote testified that no surveillanc

carter page has nothing to do with george papadopoulos and carter page has nothing to do with the trump tower meeting that really should be more concerning to everyone. i would almost quit asking questions about the memo until we see the stupid thing and pay more attention until, you know, the trump tower meeting is much more concerning. listen, i wrote a whole article about this. i think it's a huge gas light. a big decoy to get people not to pay attention to the appropriate things. >> hey, maybe you're right on the money. speaking of the stupid thing to quote you, we're now hearing the administration official saying the white house will tell congress that the release of this memo is probably tomorrow and so there you have, probably tomorrow. the president is okay with the memo. doubts there will be redactions. garrett, that flies in the face obviously of what we heard from the public statement from the fbi, the semi-private meeting monday night at the white house. flies in the face of it. >> one of the things that's important to remember in this is that the fbi's objection isn't so mu

bauds carter page had never been charged with a crime. >> okay. one thing that was inclouded which is more than a couple sentences. according to to the memo. was that there was a counter intelligence investigation of george papadopoul george papadopoulos. another trump campaign advisor in july chl the first part

it's not quleesh how carter -- it's not clear how carter page would lift sanctions on russia. but so far those allegations, as far as we know, none have been confirmed. david: another party interested in removing the sanctions on russia, not just mr. putin, but also the fusion gps people who were out to discredit the people who put the sanctions on russia. it points to the fact if there was any collusion at all, fusion gps was paid for by the dnc and the hillary campaign. they were working with people close to putin. if there is any collusion it looks like there was collusion between the democrats and russia than trump and russia. byron: fution was work both sides of the street. we know they were hired by putin-linked the russians to repeal the sanctions. so if you look at the dossier, it quote source starks within source b and source c. one of them is a kremlin official, a former kremlin official, and a businessman connected to the kremlin. you have to wonder if the russians are feeding that information to fusion gps and fuchs is on both sides of this thing. david: clearly th

russian agents said carter page was an idjot. do you think that the russian would offer him a 19% share of the major oil companies in russian. this is crazy. you would think is wild stuff. there was a good chance that the dossier came from russians. there is clear evidence of collusion with the russian but it's about the democratic campaign and the hillary clinton national committee that the news fails to investigation. >> fisa is controversial to begin it. it was challenged. members look for reasons to vote against fisa. civil liberties concerns. was the memo with held before it was voted on by congress? >> no, 702 is different. >> i'm sorry. >> we found no abuses within 702. i made that clear to my colleagues. the fbi stone walled us. we had to subpoena documents in august. at the beginning of january, remember when the fbi director and rod rosenstein tried to do an end run around our committee and attempted to go to the speaker so we would not hold them in contempt? that was not until just a few weeks ago. >> let me ask about

you wonder how many people at the fbi believed that carter page was a russian agent. they don't believe that now. if they did, he would be in handcuffs. yet he still a free man. civil liberties has been violated and his reputation has destroyed. democrats could not care less. they know it's a lie but it's all irrelevant to them. even if he is crushed in the process. ten years ago, donald trump will be gone and the democrats will have forgotten that they once pretended to fear russia as a threat to our democracy. but our law enforcement and intelligence agencies will remain as long as the country stays intact and we have got to trust them. we give them incredible powers, including the power to take human life. we allow them to operate in secrecy because they tell us they must. inha exchange for all of that, e ask them to operate with integrity. to prove to us that they haven't become tools of a political regime because always and everywhere, that is thehe temptation. unfortunately it looked like it happened here. former u.s. attorney from the district of columbia, we h

, and he was carter -- in 1976, and he was carter's arkansas chair. during the time he was running the arkansas carter campaign, hillary actually went to indiana and randy carter campaign there and helped set up campaign offices and things like that. their lives were very much about political campaigns and working on behalf of democrats across the country. generalame the attorney rather ably in 1976, and two years later would become the country's youngest governor in 1978. when bill and hillary were married, hillary kept her maiden name come as would have been unusual in 1975 across the country. she really kept her look. she were glasses and no makeup and natural hair, that kind of thing. after bill lost his second term as governor in 1980, the two of them really regrouped, and you see at the beginning of the 1980's her transformation and his transformation politically, thinking about what the people needed most, and her transformation into what arkansas would have considered an appropriate first lady. she changed her hair, started wearing contacts, s

and the justice department of abusing the surveillance powers to spy on former trump campaign adviser carter page, ab nd as have been reporting, the president saw it as a way to diskrcredit the russian invest gags, and he said it was from the fbi and members of his own justice department and lawmakers from both sides of the aisle. we have live team coverage. boris sanchez is live in palm beach near the president's estate in mar-a-lago, and also, shimon with us from washington. and so, there were warnings not to have the president fire the special prosecutor and assistant attorney general. >> yes, and the president was not tamping it down, because yesterday, the president when asked about the possibility of firing the attorney general rod rosenstein, he said you figure it out. but he did not get into the specifics is of what was in the memo or who he tweeted should be ashamed of themselves, but there are questions if it is directed to rod rosenstein, and we heard from white house officials including raj shah who was on cnn saying that the president does have confidence in the d deputy attorne

carter page, though, denies that. now go to september 2016. that's when carter page left the trump campaign amid the russia reports -- amid reports as well about his ties to russia. and then it was one month later in october 2016 that the fbi got a new warrant to monitor him on the basis of some information from the steele dossier plus other intelligence and evidence that was obtained by the fbi. so the fbi questioned page back in march of last year. that was in the midst of the russia probe, but that was before robert mueller was named as special counsel. so carter page is now at the center of this republican memo, part of a conservative effort to discredit the fbi and the russia investigation. however, it was a much different tune than the past year when trump aides and associates worked to minimize page's role. take a listen. >> carter page is an individual who the president-elect does not know. >> he's not part of our national security or foreign policy briefings that we do now at all. >> to the best of my recollection, i do not know carte

and that was carter page. christopher steele has acknowledged that he came to washington in september of that year and briefed multiple journalists including one from yahoo! news, me. so i am free to talk about that and say yes, in fact, he did. i heard -- i met him and heard when the work he was doing and the concerns he had that he had picked up about carter page's contacts in moscow during that trip in july. i then went when checking out christopher steele, talked to people who had worked with him, talked to others about carter page and how he had been on the radar screen of u.s. officials for some time. and i did confirm what to me was most significant part of what christopher steele had to say, which was that his material had been presented to the fbi, the fbi was very interested in it and following up. and that was in fact the story that we published at the time, that there was a u.s. intelligence investigation into these allegations relating to carter page. we did not say that we had verified with chris

go back to carter page again. there is a theory that rosenstein applied for an extension, a renewal of surveillance of carter page based in part of the dossier. but we don't know that. we haven't seen it. david: it's like the day before christmas, everybody wants to know what's in it. byron: let's keep our heads about us. president trump calling out dem's hypocrisy on immigration. president trump: we want to take care of daca. we need the democrats' support to do it. they talk like they do, but i don't think they do. david: we'll take that up with michelle malkin. high-flying acrobatics. we'll show you the exhilarating clip from dew buy coming up. stay with us. successful people have one thing in common. they read more. how do they find the time? ... with audible. audible has the world's largest selection of audiobooks. for just $14.95 a month... you get a credit good for any audiobook ... and you can roll your credits to the next month if you don't use them. audible members get free no hassle exchanges ... and us

you're talking about carter page. you're saying if an american or if an individual is talking with or perhaps has dealings with an adversarial country, you're saying then that the fbi or any other law enforcement agency should not have the right to look into what that person is doing by way of going to a judge, panel, with fisa court, is that what you're saying? >> it's your show. you can talk as much as you want. but let me finish. >> i'm asking you a question. >> i'm answering your question. i'm not talking about carter page. i'm talking about the premise. you go before a court. the accused has no say in this. i get that. i get that process. but i think it's important that everything be put on the table. i would be curious to know if the judges in every one of these attempts to seek the warrant understood that the dossier was paid for by the democrat national committee and the hillary clinton campaign. and if -- >> isn't the only thing that the judges -- >> you have not let me finish. >> i'm letting you finish. i'm

there sort of the carter bryant in the first trial and then the carter bryant in the second trial picky doesn't want to sit through weeks and weeks of testimony, and basically he is dragged into the court. he again has no interest anymore. he's a witness and he is dragged into the court by a court order because he basically disappeared. he just, you see him not responding, you know, responding very, very short answers. and as you saw when i mentioned when i i read sort of at the beginning, he has health issues with all this. there is also, again, you will have to read the book for all of these interesting details, but there's also a lot of problematic decisions that were made about what he could testify about in the first trial. he's question really about his sexuality, about finding pornography on his computer. and the second judge actually says i can't believe all of this was actually part of the first testimonies. and so the second judge puts order in some of that. but carter bryant is i think an extreme example of how much of this has mattered personally to people, but actually use

sara carter, civil rights defense attorney david chon, fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett. let's start with you, you know robert mueller well, did he pick andrew weissmann by accident? did he not know about the atrocious record and background? >> he knew everything about mr. andrew weissmann, if you would read the 2011 boston globe article, you would see remarkable similarity between mr. mueller's conduct as acting u.s. attorney in boston with respect to a relationship between fbi agent now in prison and the remarkable similarity to andrew weissmann's conduct, later charged with several murderers, and gregory scarborough under the colombo family, but mr. hannity, you are the first person who takes the side of law and order in most cases, so i hope that the viewers recognize for you to be speaking out and demanding an examination of tactics of a prosecutor is remarkable and extraordinary, and very important. and that what you have done is exposed the problems to the tactics being used here. everyone ought to have a graded and full transparency in this process. >> tucker: i w

so carter page wasn't surprised. one of the the things people have said is that democrats might have also overhyped this memo. they might have made it sound like the sky is falling. when you read it, it reads like a goal. or that sort of compelling in terms of harming carter page. you tweeted this. you said if carter page was in any, way, shape or form, the memo cannot put into words how angry this makes me. what were you talking about there? >> look, let's start with president trump last spring. let's nforget he gave the russians one of the most sensitive operations. so when the white house doesn't have a problem with burn. ing assets, it's hard to imagine nunez would either. what i mean is i don't know what carter page is, but we know as you point out he was involved in the 2013 case that resulted in 2015 in an indictment in jail time for russian spy. he walked free. he then shows up in 2016 in another counterintelligence operation. this is pretty remarkable to show up in two operations and to do so without any ind

an initial warrant to surveil carter page during 2016. now, the allegations that republican chairman of the house intelligence committee, devin nunes, makes in his memo is that andrew mccabe, the now former deputy director of the fbi, that he told the house intelligence committee that those warrants, that initial warrant, would not have been issued without the information contained in the steele dossier. something we've reported on before. just for the sake of our viewers, this was prepared by former british intelligence agent christopher steele with money coming from opponents of donald trump and later from the intelligence committee. this was an effect of democratic research that led to this memo. so andrew mccabe told the committee that that warrant on carter page would not have been issued without information contained in that dossier. i'm going to provide context on that, but first let me run through some of the other bullet points. another point the nunes memo claims is that the judge who issued these warrants and renewals of the ap

the first one is that the warrants that were sought for carter page, to surveil carter page, at the time, a former adviser to the trump campaign, nunes argues that those warrants were based largely or principally on this dossier of evidence about president trump that was compiled by the former british agent christopher steele, which was funded by fusion gps, which was paid for by the democratic party. so in effect saying he was surveilled by something that was pushed by democrats. the other argument nunes makes in this memo is the judge who approved the applications, in fact multiple applications, renewals for this warrant, was not told of the origin of the money behind fusion gps, which paid for that dossier. so making a claim that really that warrant, in effect, was based on democratic money and that the judge was not aware of it. >> so, jim, there are parts of this memo that some in congress are disputing and actually other parts which undermine sort of one of the conservatives time line here. >> it does. so let's start on facts in dispute, and they go right to those two issues i just

page to surveil on carter page was improperly obtained. what nadler is saying is he fails to demonstrate nunes in this memo that they lacked evidence beyond the dossier in order to obtain this memo. that the case law supports the idea that there was no improper conduct on the part of the justice department in not disclosing when they sought this warrant that there potentially were political sources that where there was funding behind the work of the dossier. this is of course involving chris fer steele, the british spy who was contracted by fusion gps in order to obtain some information on donald trump. the other points are that steele, this british spy, he had such a reputation and his past work involving russia and organized crime was of such a high standard that even with the potential that he was being funded by -- his work was being funded by democrats involving the clinton campaign would not have been enough to invalidate his claims. and in fact we know from the testimony from glenn simpson, the co-founder of fusion gps that steele h

i don't think it ends with carter page. this was the weaponization of our intelligence tools, of our intelligence apparatus. this needs to be thoroughlyd investigated. it should not end with carter page. sean, one more point. the fbi knew, according to all ofof the sources that i spoke with, they knew that christopher steele lied to them. they kneww that and they didn't pay him. remember, they were going to give him a big bulk payment and may stop that. they knew he was lying, yet they go to the fisa court and they put in this application -- >> sean: they want to pay him but they bought for him. they never mention the fisa court how much steele hates trump. they never mention this is paid for by clinton and her campaign and the dnc. they are purposely lying to a court, gregg jarrett. they are lying to a pfizer cord. fisa means, okay, secret, top-secret, spy on american citizens. on this case, presidential candidate, but all theom information is coming from your opponent, why bother to tell the judge that part freights becau

in their pursuit of the fisa warrant to surveil carter page. the democratic memo says the justice department narrowly used information that was provided in the christopher steele unverified dossier, that that was not the impetus for the whole investigation. the memo says the fisa court wowz informed that politically entities funded steele's research. it made no mention anywhere at all about the dnc or hillary clinton. hear's intelligence committee chairman devin nunes. >> one of the things about the memos is they're all hot to talk about in a fo footnote they put in a complicated answer that was deceivdeceiving of the applicat. about that was politically motivated. wouldn't it have been a lot easier to say, mr. judge, wea want to let you know that the hillary clinton campaign and the democratic party paid a lawyer who hired a firm who hired a foreign agent to go to the russians and get dirt on mr. trump. >> for more we're joined by president of judicial watch. adam schiff says the memo shows there's no unprofessional conduct by the obama admini

one headline is this warrant to surveil carter page in the survival of the trump campaign was issued and renewed three times. i'll add some context to that in a moment. keep in mind we did not know that. let's get to the allegations here. one allegation, the principal one, really, the now former director of the fbi, andrew mccabe, told the intelligence committee that the warrant would not have been issued without the steele dossier, this dossier of information about president trump compiled by a british agent initially paid for by republicans and then by the democratic national committee. the memo also alleges that the judge who issued these warrants was not told that the steele dossier was, one, paid for by democratic money and was not origins as the memo alleges of this information. so those are really the central allegations here. it also goes on to argue that christopher steele had it in for president trump, in effect, that he had an agenda against president trump. but now some context. one, we know, and cnn has previously reported, that the fbi had its own corroborating intellig

>> it's not with carter page, i guess. but that doesn't mean. >> he hasn't been charged. >> sean: hang on. i have got to roll. tko for water and his world tonight.te little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable after just 4 months, ... with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. otezla may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. tell your doctor if these occur. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts, or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. other side effects include upper respiratory tract infection and headache. tell your doctor about all the med

pull up the graphic on carter page. carter page is not jared kushner. he's not in the inner circle. he's pretty far removed but he's been involved in a lot of these critical points and betsy i know you wanted to jump in here. >> carter page's behavior in this situation is indicative of him having some pretty serious issues. people who make responsible decisions for themselves don't go into interviews with the house intelligence committee without a lawyer. that's incredibly irresponsible and any person who had insight on this process would tell carter that. the decisions he's making are self-destructive and indicative of some issues. >> jonathan? >> look, i don't want to entirely endorse michael steele's analysis but i have long believed that the clue to carter page is that hat he wears, that little fishing hat that he walks around in. it's true. it's stunning to sit before the house intelligence committee with no legal representation. that is stunning. >> the other person who did that is eric prince who is a billionaire and who is -- i think we can ascertain significantly more sophi

it alleges fbi misconduct, involving the surveillance of then trump campaign member carter page and the president, according to sources. sees it as a way to discredit special counsel robert mueller and of the russia investigation. i want you to listen to what president trump said a little while ago, when asked about this four-page republican document. >> i think it's terrible, you want to know the truth. i think it's a disgrace, what's going on in this country. i think it's a disgrace. the memo was sent to congress, it was declassified. congress will do whatever they're going to do. but i think it's a disgrace what's happening in our country. and when you look at that and you see that and so many other things, what's going on, a lot of people should be ashamed of themselves and much worse than that. so, i sent it over to congress. they will do what they're going to do, whatever they do is fine. it was declassified. and let's see what happens. but a lot of people should be ashamed. >> let's go to cnn's justice correspondent. evan perez has been carefully monitoring all of these late brea

will be looking at carter page. but they will expand on that case tohe make sure that the foreign intelligence surveillance court wasn't being abused over and over again. they need to look at that. >> sean: we already know it's abused. >>e we do. >> sean: they didn't tell the judgeud that hillary paid for i. they didn't tell them it was unverified, that that it was the same source, right? >> that's right. we have one case, sean. what we need to look out, and i think the inspector general iss going to do that, is how many other cases out there that we don't know about. cases that aren't public. that is what they are going to be looking at. they will be talking to people of the foreign intelligenceen surveillance court, possibly talking to the b judges, they wl be looking at the documents, documents that we aren't privy to because they are classified. look at how difficult it was to get to the bottom of just carter page. i think this is what the attorney general wants to do, he wants to expand this investigation, he w

in 2013, carter page was being recruited by russians. the fbi was tracking him because they were worried about his ties with the russians. we assume there are number of other sources for the fisa application. those are all going to be downplayed in a four-page memo. nermeen: marcy wheeler, can you explain a little more why the republicans and trump want this memo released? >> they're going to find an excuse to fire rod rosenstein, but even there, there's a problem. rod rosenstein, there actually completing reports about when the last of these applications was submitted. it was either march or april. "the new york times" reported it was april after rod rosenstein became deputy attorney general unable 26. but if that is the case, regardless of which it is, it means that two applications using the dossier had already been approved by the fisa court. one of which came after the dossier was made public. so either rod rosenstein, all he did was sign the last application that has already gone through approval processes in march when he came in

they mentioned that they had met carter page. name poppedpage's up again as an advisor for the trump presidential campaign, they get some information about him perhaps continuing to meet with russia, i think that helped animate their feeling of, wow, is there collusion going on? , althoughhese people iosely affiliated with trump, do not believe that carter page .as truly an advisor we have to consider that background when we asked ourselves the question, was the judgment diluted by politics? host: i want to get your reaction to a reaction to the release of the memo from james comey. he treated yesterday, that is it? it destroyed trust within the intelligence community. i have to tell you, that sentiment was sent to me by many intelligence department folks. it has been damaged by this. what do you think? intelligence committee is not your average congressional committee. at least not in the way it was created. remember, there were legitimate fbi of uses in the 70's and 60's. that led to a huge investigation in the late 1970's that
