that said, in this instance, when you have one side, in this case devin nunez and you have him releasing a memo claiming that the fbi was doing something and this document shows they were not doing. they were misleading the court. you have the democrats disputing it and it was compelling for anyone paying attention. it's not the same as being able to see the document and knowing that one side, devin nunez and trey gowdy who put this memo out were actioning in bad faith and being dishonest. the president who talk about this application talked about it for months. he is dishonest in the way he framed it. they lie on the balance to show the american people just what is going on. >> thank you for your analysis and explaining all of it. we appreciate you coming on. coming up for us, are there simply too many bald eagles. are there so many that they threaten to blot out the sun? those are the attempts to explain something new that republicans in congress are pushing through when we come back. ahh... summer is coming. and it's time to get outside. pack in even more adventure with audible. with

the notion that devin nunez that they tried to peddle is that the judges were not adequately informed. you can read the footnote. the judges were told that the steels dossier was not initiat by someone looking to do the campaign and trump harm. so all of these attentiollegati including the one from the president, are wrong. >> it was a full page of footnotes explaining who christopher steele was working for, or what the motivation might have been for that, and look, you work with devin nunez. we have talked about this before. i know on a personal level you're kfriends. >> the problem is that we live in a world today where there are alternative realities. so most people, certainly with any sense of the law, they will look at the nunez memo and say it is just wrong. we said that in the democratic response to it when it came out. devin and the president and the people that support the president are speaking to the percentage of people you were talking about ten minutes ago. the point of all of this and flying in the face of the facts, is when mueller comes out with something, it is to ha

also by devin nunez not looking at the unredacted warn that he subpoenaed and made such a big string abo bigstribig stink about. >> they have over 800,000 documents about hillary clinton. you talk about deflection, the wastes of government resource social security a misdemeanor, if not a crime. >> putting it forward not as a privled privledge. >> thank you, the white house banned an open event in the rose garden, this is something, guys. my mom's pain from moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis was intense. i wondered if she could do the stuff she does for us which is kinda, a lot. and if that pain could mean something worse. joint pain could mean joint damage. enbrel helps relieve joint pain, and helps stop further damage enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders and allergic reactions have occurred. tell your doctor if you've been someplace where fungal infections are common. or if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis

devin nunez, he has a message about this they really want a democrat to win. let's listen. >> they would love to see republicans lose, and i say that, i hate to say that, but i have to believe that the department of justice and fbi, the people in leadership, they are banking on a loss by the republicans in the fall which is why people have to understand how important it is going to be to get out and vote in this election to insure that the members of congress returned actively involved to, because if democrats get controlled, they will drop all of this investigation. they are not going to do anything on this investigation. steve: so you look at what the current president of the united states said regarding the old regime and intel community much. they were out to get him. he feels that is a possibility. devin nunez says the people at the doj and the fbi in the leadership, they want democrats. keep in mind, if the democrats take over, all of these hearings into what happened in run-up to start spying on the trillionp team, that ends. one of the reasons devin nu

nunez' memo, and now the documents fall under the standards and moving forward we could see potentially a lot more of the fisa documents coming out. >> and then, michael, that carter page has spoken, and even though he does not seem to e e l l lab rate on much, and won't even admit to a lot that is already in that fisa application, that he is listed as an agent of a foreign power. him talking today, did he make matters worse or did he clarify anything in your view? >> well, i think that there are truths and unknowns, and i think that in this case, the truth is that carter page, whenever he opens up his mouth on television does not help himself legally. just in the short interview with jake tapper, he refused to the acknowledge what he wrote on paper himself that he was an informal adviser to the kremlin which is in part the basis of acting as an agent. so if you have made a admissions of illegal interest in an interview, and fred, also, you cannot miss the irony of the fact that the fisa warrant process 702 was renewed in january. ron wyden, senator wyden in a bipartisan group had what

trey gowdy on overside, devin nunez on intelligence, and bob goodlet on judiciary requested the records. house staffers viewed records at the justice department thursday because lawmakers were out for the holiday recess,k canning the justice department and fbi are still withholding documents. in april a subpoena was issued for a key set of records, focused on fbi activities before the fbi russia case officially opened on july 31st, 2016. the source of the justice department and fbi have not provided all records or information about this critical time period that will likely show why the russia probe started in the first place. >> what put all of this into motion, and of course was what put all of this into motion, something that was politically motivated or was it in fact based on legitimate law enforcement evidence? based on the hearing, on just the back and forth that we've seen over the last few months, we are in an extremely unusual and in my view disturbing situation where there's been a complete breakdown and fracture of trust. >> fbi director christopher ray and the deputy attorn

vladamir putin, donald trump, and devin nunez. did i miss anybody? >> you can throw in there everybody that voted for trump, because whatever he says goes. and whatever vladamir putin says goes for president trump. you know, this is very disturbing, especially that comment about nsa a little bit earlier. first off, 6 million phone calls and e-mails is about ten seconds of collection of nsa. so that's not very significant. but it just goes to show, they are declaring war on anything credible in america. and it will undermine us. it will damage our national security. and mark my words at some point, it will kill someone. >> that's a chilling thought. matt miller, i feel like we started having this conversation before president trump was sworn in. preinauguration, he was at war with the intelligence community over the same issues. and i know general hayden and people who have worked for democrats and republicans have called this an all-out assault on the truth, an assault on evidence-based sciences, on journalism, on intelligence collection, on law enfo

connell: right in this case you search for chair of the republican party, romney mctan el and devin nunez and they wouldn't come up and they were panning. is there any legal remedy? >> unless there is a contract which prohibits the banning the first amendment does not regulate twitter. the first amendment only regulates the government. if twitter wants to do this, theoretically the remedy, some entity, there is barrier to entry to compete with twitter that would agree as part of your relationship with them they won't ban you no matter what you say. stated differently because twitter is a private entity, they can ban whoever they want, suffer the consequences with shareholders and with consumers. connell: that is the thing. it is a publicly-traded company, right? if people had an issue way they're doing business, they could sell the stock by the way they're doing, not for that reason, twitter share prices down another 8% today. it has other issues besides this. whether it be fake accounts, all rest of it. if you do something in your business as twitter is doing, not keeping track of how ma

. >> devin nunez will write his own report. giuliani is negotiating in public and in private. the terms of whatever engagement happens between robert mueller and donald trump. that is his primary job, a lot of that will happen in public, who knows exactly what's happening in private. this is all part of that dance. eventually, i think there's going to be some kind of agreement between the two, i would hope so, because otherwise we're going to be down to some kind of showdown that might require the courts to intervene. >> related to all this of course, the president again tweeting over the weekend about attacking the russia probe and saying it's a witch hunt again and basically saying that public opinion has strongly turned against it. you see that at the top. he's not wrong about public opinion, there's a new "washington post" poll that say 49% of people disapprove of mueller's handling of this, that's changed 14 points since january. it's obviously working. >> when bill clinton went under impeachment in 1998, that was the one thing that rallied public opinion behind bill clin

nunez and his disclosures of information. what i see in these redacted fisas is that the government revealed things that were already in the public domain thanks to prior activity, but they haven't added new information or not very much that i see. >> the current calls by republicans in congress to unredact more of this application, they are trying to create political pressure and pressure from the white house to expose even more of this application. i just wanted to ask your reaction to that and whether i'm right in reading this as a layman to wonder if if further redactionses would result in more evidence that carter page was a foreign agent. >> you are right that these applications already substantially undermine the president's narrative and that was his proxies. it seems to me very likely if we get below the tip of the iceberg and submerged, it will get worse and not better. it would also potentially be dangerous to disclose additional informs. some of this pertains to ongoing activity and intelligence sources and method

because devin nunez, tray bowed bowed -- trey gowdy, john radcliffe those group of people are investigating what he is is doing. he knows if the democrats get control -- trish: i was talking to gregg yesterday. his conclusion they were trying to frame donald trump and they wanted hillary clinton to get off scott-free. do you have a similar kind of conditionclusion? do you think they were deliberately setting out to actually hurt this president because they wanted to undo the will of the people? >> you have 50,000 texts between the number two person in counterintelligence and the person who is the lawyer, lisa page and peter strzok. you have a 560-page inspector general talks about animus and bias. there is a lot of smoke out there that says congress should look at this. they can't fix it. oversight -- trish: is there a deep state? you have a background there. >> yeah. trish: in d.c., did you ever see examples of this sort of front and center that you can highlight? >> i had the state department, literally spy on me, send people with me when i went into libya. i had 45 secret service agents

as put out there by devin nunez, because if you look at the warrant itself, it's in there only for the purpose of giving carter page's exculpatory statement for his reasons why he wasn't a russian spy. >> trump does the same thing with the cohen. he says it's based on nothing. every time we talk to fbi people or lawyers at the southern district of new york or lawyers like you, you can't just get these warrants for nothing. >> no. you've got to have very specific facts that, in fact, an ongoing crime is underway. it is being committed. you have to have probable cause which is not an easy standard. >> it's not a guess? >> okay, then, but if you really have to have probable cause, why isn't he indicted? >> sometimes you don't come up with enough evidence to prove someone guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. this happens all the time with wiretap warrants. the fact of the matter is i as assistant u.s. attorney, i used to have lots of warrants like this. not necessarily fisa, but the format was the same. you look at different kinds of people. you have informants and various people who give you

also tray gowdy, devin nunez, matt gaetz all of them in congress have been lying how this application came together. there were other -- >> completely not true. >> there were things besides the dossier. >> michael isikoff yahoo! news story? >> i didn't interrupt you. i let you finish, the yahoo! story was not used as cooperating evidence. >> yes it was. >> that is a bold-faced lie. that is what these documents show, is that basically republicans have been lying to us. the president has been lying to us. yes, russians have been meddling for a long time. guess what? in what other situation would we say, well, you know, the russians have been trying to like steal our technology for decades, so it is not that big of a deal. the russians have been trying to bomb us or some country has been trying to bomb us forever. it is not. trish: let me stop you for a second, jehmu. you make a point. where were the questions from the obama administration about our then secretary of state, hillary clinton and the uranium one deal? i mean that boggles my mind. so if you're going to say okay, why is there

point two, this is related to devin nunez, the chairman of the house intelligence committee said the fbi never let the court know some of this information was gleaned from a document, dossier that was being paid for by someone who might be supportive of one of the candidates. not accurate. the fbi speculates the identified u.s. person was likely looking for information that could be used to discredit candidate one's campaign. that's pretty direct that suggests that this was not sort of a benign nonpartisan effort. this might have been a search for information on donaldtrump. there's a lot here. now, again, donald trump saying this all began with the steele dossier. no. this is from the fisa warrant. this a lot of this is redacted. page lived in russia. during this time page he began a relationship with someone. there was concerns about carter page prior to this steele dossier. let's go to the next slide. again, okay, remember, this was authorized once. the fisa warrant was thorsed once and reauthorized three more times, brook, by federally appointed judges. who were they appointed by

nunez's house intelligence committee report laid that out very clearly two months ago. did that affect the election? no. it had no effect on the election. trish: we know that!. >> the president -- obviously trump russia collusion. i've been very outspoken on that. when the president talks about it being a phishing expedition, trying to rope his campaign n i think it would be very good for him to be very firm on the first part, yeah they were involved in cyber activity. they're a malevolent force and be clear they shouldn't be to undermine the legitimacy of president which media and democrats trying to do. two years since having contact with trump campaign, we don't have any evidence of russia trump collusion. the media intermingles those and i think the president intermingled those yesterday. trish: the media does, that is lousy for the media to do that. they are two entirely separate things. russia interfered, our intelligence sources confirmed that that has nothing to do with collusion or legitimacy of the president. unless you tell me they went into the diebold votin

when you look at how devin nunez had treated the information, intelligence, when he wrote his infamous memo, he politicized everything to fit his narrative. i think it's a valid argument that we would be concerned that this group of lawmakers would be doing the same thing. and it's extremely dangerous when lawmakers take intelligence and then use it and spin it to support their own case because what it does, it distorts the facts. it can also expose sources and methods. that's also a very real concern. >> ben, there was a piece in "the new york times" by michael schmidt, focusing on robert mueller's investigation, what he might be looking into, looking at the tweets of the president. this was something that donald trump responded to. we can talk a bit about the way that the president has reacted to reports in the news over the course of the last week. let me read this one tweet in particular, he said, "the only collusion with russia was with the democrats. now they're looking at my tweets along with 53 million other people," whatever that means. "the witch hunt continues. how stupid an

ainsley: you have republicans in congress, devin nunez, trey gowdy, 13 republicans sent a letter in june, we want unredacted application, with declassified key parts. they want footnotes on the third renewal. the third renewal, if you get a fisa application you have to to continuously renewed because time runs out. the third renewal was signed by rod rosenstein in june 2017. steve: i'm glad when this is all over when the people in the fbi and department of justice can explain what they did. todd: can i do a brian toss, never redacts her documents. jillian: i think brian said those words to me before. we have breaking news and sad news to report. get you caught up with the fox news alert. a firefighter is killed overnight battling a massive house fire in maryland. officials say the unidentified hero fell through the floor of a home in clarksville outside of baltimore. the 13-year veteran of the department was critically injured around died at a nearby hospital. officials believe a lightning strike sparked the fire. everyone inside of the home got out safely. >>> today the coast guard will

here which is just really i think just a shame and sort of damning towards the house republicans and nunez and paul ryan. devin nunes tried to create a story that suggested this was all based on the dossier and the fisa application. he knew that was not true when he made the statements. and when the house intelligence committee came out with the report. that to me is -- that is on paul ryan at this stage. if paul ryan could have gotten rid of devin nunes as a head of a house intelligence committee, a committee that wants in my world, you know, the fact that house intel committee is like this is just shocking. you have never seen anything like this. and i think there is going to be political consequences. the legal ones, of course, are harmful to trump. the political consequences are ones that i think paul ryan really, you know, needs to explain it to the american public. why devin nunes lies and then is allowed to be head of what was -- once was a bipartisan committee that looked at intelligence, nonpolitically to defend you and i and everyone else. >> juliet and jim, i have to leave it th

paige is false, which should not come as much of a surprise since deven nunez publically admitted he never read the application for the fisa warrant. >> did you read the actual fisa applications? >> no, i didn't. >> the documents reveal that the four federal judges who granted the initial warrant and renewed it for all appointed by republican presidents and they were all clearly informed that the steel dossier was one of the pieces of information that the fbi was considering and it was paid for by a political opponent of a campaign and devin nunes and other house republicans have repeatedly lied about that. for those lies, the nonpartisan congressional scholar now leaves devin nunes should be expelled from the house of representatives. norm joins us next.
