tv   The Ingraham Angle  FOX News  September 17, 2018 7:00pm-8:00pm PDT

7:00 pm
>> sean: powerful ad. we'll have more on that later in the week. that is all the time we have left. we are not the destroy the trump media, never will be. let not your heart be troubled. laura ingraham standing by at the nation's capitol. laura. >> laura: sean, does it feel like 1991 all over again? i was here during the confirmation hearing for just thomas. >> sean: one of the nation's finest supreme court justices, i'll never forget his testimony, how powerful it was, powerful moment for him. >> laura: yeah, he's a national treasure and sean, fantastic show, huge news. thanks. i'm laura ingraham. this is "the ingraham angle" on important night in washington. in moments, my thoughts on brett kavanaugh, a man i've known for nearly three decades and we'll hear from other women who have known him even longer. plus, why do some accusations matter, while others are ignored.
7:01 pm
bill clinton accuser has questions for diane feinstein about her claims and how they were treated 20 years ago. hear exclusively from house intelechair devin nunes with first reaction to the president's decision late this afternoon to declassify documents related to the russia investigation. but first, 1991, all over again. that is the focus of tonight's angle. by now most of you are familiar with the 11th hour charges of supreme court nominee, brett kavanaugh. christine blasey-ford is claiming when she was 15 and kavanaugh was 17, he made unwanted advances to her at a boozy house party. she claims he tried to force himself upon her. kavanaugh released a statement today emphatically denying the charges for a second time, saying "this is a completely
7:02 pm
false allegation, i've never done anything like what the accuser describes, to her or to anyone," but the 10 democrats on the judiciary committee were unanimous in calls to delay kavanaugh's scheduled thursday vote. some weak-kneed republicans, like flake and corker, join the calls. there are holes in mrs. ford's version of events. 2012 notes from psychotherapist mention four men involved in the assault on ford, now the accuser says it was only two men. nowhere does kavanaugh's name appear in the notes. in both kavanaugh and the only other witness deny the event ever occurred. ford claims she decided to come forwards at this moment out of "civic responsibility," but the timing, sufficed to say, is curious. senator diane feinstein had a letter from ford detailing the allegations back in july. but she chose not to share it
7:03 pm
with the f.b.i. or to raise it in 32 hours of public hearings and of course, one hour of a private meeting with kavanaugh, so why? well, this all has the whiff of a political smear masquerading as sexual assault allegation, one that 36 years later, let's face it, cannot either be proven or disproven. it is impossible to prove a negative and questioning mrs. ford and brett kavanaugh on this matter, it is unlikely to reveal anything new, but still this afternoon, judiciary committee chairman chuck grassley announced he's calling a hearing a week from today, giving both kavanaugh and mrs. ford, an opportunity to be heard. but think about this for a moment. to furnish democrats with another big talk for the divisive circus, may actually be a mistake for republicans.
7:04 pm
democrats have been salivating for another clarence thomas, anita hill spectacle to use against republicans in the fall and maybe get more female voters while they're at it. here is minority leader schumer. >> i think the allegations of professor ford are extremely credible. she took a lie detector test. she talked about this with her therapist, family counseling, because of what happened to her five years ago and told the details and third, to come out and say something like this puts you and your family through incredible scrutiny, people throw brick bats at you and everything else, she didn't do it on a whim, i don't think she did it for political reasons. she has a great deal of credibility. >> laura: oh, well, no one knows anything about this yet apparently, she hasn't testified, but chuck schumer is
7:05 pm
supremely confident. the very idea schumer or anyone else will be able to get to the bottom of a 36-year-old allegation is ludicrous. and chuck, as you know, lie detectors aren't admissible in court for a reason. lindsey graham made a point earlier today, it is odd she decided to take a lie detector test, she wanted to remain anonymous. hmm. the fact is, no way to ensure brett kavanaugh will receive due process here because allegations such as this, they should have been examined in any of the six f.b.i. background checks that brett kavanaugh underwent, but instead, this was dropped less than a week before his committee vote and as such, a lot of reasonable people can conclude that this is all part of a political hit job, a well orchestrated, elinscite trying
7:06 pm
to cause damage to kavanaugh, president trump and the midterm for the republicans, put maximum political pressure, especially people like corker or flake, they are not running for re-election, what are they supposed to do? anita hill this weekend dropped a statement designed to insulate the accuser from criticism and meaningful questioning. in box any male republican questioning ford in an open forum, she wrote the following. given the seriousness of these allegations, the government needs to find a fair and neutral way for complaints to be investigated. i've seen first hand what happens when such a process is weaponized against an accuser and no one should have to endure that again. christine blasey-ford's attorney katz claims her client is willing to appear before the judiciary committee. >> she's willing to cooperate, she is not willing to be part of
7:07 pm
this blood letting that happens in washington, we only need to look at the anita hill hearings to know what that looks like and that is not fair way to get at the truth. >> laura: think about this, fair? what is a fair way? anyone has the freedom, male or female, has freedom to drop damaging allegations, just days before a confirmation vote, when someone has been in public service for years and years and years, undergoing six background checks and then outside the normal procedures, they can drop a letter anonymously, have it leak out a few weeks later and they don't get any criticism? you can't examine motive, you can't examine maybe holes in the allegations, you can't examine political affiliation. this is insanity. this does a disservice to the senate, it does a disservice to the process and it does a disservice to brett kavanaugh, given everything he's given to
7:08 pm
this country in public service. and republicans who buckle to this type of smear and type of frankly intimidation game, they don't deserve to be in the senate for another minute. any senator who would allow this to happen to a nominee of kavanaugh's experience, and integrity, should look at his or her own. i've had the great privilege of knowing kavanaugh for 25 years, socially and in professional circles. and i've known a lot of people in this town, both parties, but few, i can probably count them on two hands, with his character, his intellect and his professionalism. i don't say this because he is someone i support for the court, i say this because i know him f. this can happen to him, i tremble for this country and this process and for any man or woman, who find themselves up for a big job, who didn't spend
7:09 pm
his or her teenage year necessary a convent or monastery. that is the angle. joining us now with reaction are suzanne mat10 and julie, they signed a letter of support vouching for kavanaugh's character last week after the accusation against him first surfaced. we're only joined by jen mascot, former law clerk for the judge and share clerk for justice thomas. everyone, thanks for being here tonight, i know you are busy, lots to do. suzanne, tell us how you knew, we know him as brett, how you knew him. >> i met brett sophomore year in high school, when i attended a private school. we became fast friends from the beginning. we remained friends throughout high school. we were occasional pen pals throughout college. we have daughters that were born a day apart and went on to be on the same lacrosse team, spent
7:10 pm
many hours on the sidelines talking about old times and getting to know his wife ashley. >> laura: when you heard the allegation last week, you all ran around the same circles. suzanne matan, anything when you look back knowing him in high school, anything, ooh, this could have been brett or immediately discounted? >> i immediately discounted it. he's bright. he's honest. he's kind. and he's respectable and so the allegation is something that is completely opposite of the brett i knew then and i know now. >> laura: and julie, you guys are old friends. i know both of you from washington circles. i've known him not as long as you have, but today on political, i think on msnbc, they said the women who signed the letter, they could only get two of them to say they were supporting kavanaugh. is that accurate?
7:11 pm
you know a lot of these young -- you are young women, young women who signed this letter, you know them. is that true? >> not at all. 65 of us all are on the same page. everyone of us is in agreement, we just, there is some people calling everybody and making them nervous and so they chosen not to come on to t.v. shows or to use their name, but every one of us still stands by what we said in the letter. >> laura: that was complete disinformation, people call it fake news. julie devol, why did you decide to come here tonight, you are both mothers, professionally, you decided not to sit on the sidelines, why? >> no, i felt strongly he's got great morals and character and i've known him since 1980, this is not his personality, not anything he would ever do. we used to talk on the phone every night during the weekday, he helped with homework. i used the right person to help with homework. >> laura: you picked the right one, i always had friends that
7:12 pm
were smarter ones, too. i want to play, a moment on msnbc. jen, you worked as law clerk on the dc circuit, exemplary career and clerked for justice thomas, this harkens back on my angle to what happened to him, so blatantly unfair. this is a moment on msnbc today with this woman, symone sanders, cnn, excuse me. watch. >> a lot of youtoo cases, fallen because of behavior n. almost all of them, pattern. you see more than one. what if nobody else comes forward, does that change things for you at all? >> no, i still think dr. ford has credibly come forward in my opinion f. there are other women, i hope they come forward, these women are the most powerful people on the planet right now. >> laura: i mean, your reaction to that? apparently no pattern needs to be established, it could be one
7:13 pm
person saying one thing, 36 years ago. >> laura, i clerked for judge kavanaugh first year on dc circuit, known him and his family for 12 years. i have to tell you, utmost integrity, character, always a career-long mentor to me. you saw throughout the confirmation process, he said women of all walks of life, all sides of the spectrum, come forward and attest to his integrity. mentored women as law clerks. >> laura: someone last week, forgive me for not remembering who it was, someone was saying, oh, now we know why he touted the fact he coached a girl's basketball game and because he hired all these women clerks, because he thought an allegation from high school was going to dog him. i kid you not, that is what they said. >> joe judge kavanaugh has an impeccable record, hired women law clerks over 12 years. >> laura: it was pretext according to some people. >> not a lifetime pretext.
7:14 pm
we've seen people from all walks of life, unimpeachable record, clear record, people from back in his school days attest to his character. i've seen him in every case he's considered during my time clerking for him and years he's mentored me since then, i deeply respect him and he would be excellent supreme court justice. >> laura: how hard do you want him to fight? there is going to be a fight. >> he's categorically denied the allegations, it is important for people to listen to him and stand strong in the truth he knows and defend his character, yes. >> laura: suzanne, when i think, i have two sons, ages 8 and 10. i think about even young women up for a big job or big promotion and none of us knows what happened. you went to, how many parties? i went to a lot of parties, right? i don't remember -- yeah, i was at someone's house. the idea that something that
7:15 pm
happens in high school, 36 years later, can derail a job when you have no pattern. listen what jen just said. i've talked to 13 or 14, of his former clerks and when you -- someone is a creep, you know it. we all knew people who were creepy. we all met people d. he ever have any girlfriend or someone who said, ugh, not a good guy? anyone like that? we know people who are creepy and i've never heard anything like that about him, ever. >> people talk about the speed at which we got the women together for this letter, it is because we were tight-knit community. we talk often. and when we wanted to rally for his character, we did. and if there is been even like the slightest, like you said, inkling of something to the contrary, we would -- >> laura: someone would have heard it. julie, any thoughts from friends or people you know who know the
7:16 pm
accuser, anything about motivation on this? anything? >> i can't talk about it. >> laura: she moved out of town and, you know, people don't seem to know anything. it is the oddest, oddest thing. you guys want him to fight on; correct? >> absolutely. 100% behind him. >> laura: thank you for your insight into his character and the person he is. we thank you and our viewers thank you for coming out, don't let anyone intimidate you from having your truth, that is what they want to do. thank you so much. next guest, how the senate handles this charge is profoundly important to the dignity of the institution itself. we're happy to welcome back to the show judge ken starr, author of "contempt, memoir of the clinton administration," you were on the radio show this morning and tonight on the show. things have changed a lot from 9:30 this morning when you and i talked.
7:17 pm
the senate has now scheduled another hearing for a week from today, this morning you did not think that was a great idea to delay his confirmation hearing. anything charge in the intervening hours? >> ken starr: no, the thing nais changing, huge outpouring and thank you for having these friends of brett kavanaugh on, who have known him for even longer, laura, than you and i have known him. i've known him since 1994. likewise, i can ark test in my interactions with him over the years, including as his supervisor, not once did i see any evidence of this kind of character, moreover, never reported in fact, to the contrary. the outpouring we're seeing now. i know there is a lot of noise, sort of on the other side, but that is politically inspired noise. the people who know brett kavanaugh are saying to a person, he is a person of complete integrity and strong
7:18 pm
character and you're so right in your comment that the character will come out, someone cannot year after year at yale college, yale law school and various courtships and professional life in washington, d.c., be a neighbor and yet be this kind of person who now is being described as a predator. this is just absolutely appalling. >> laura: reprehensible. >> i wish the senate had stood strong. i understand due process, but the process, this is what i said, that the process broke down terribly when diane feinstein allowed then this process to remain what it is. i don't need to rehearse the facts for this to be enshrouded in history and dropped like neutron bomb. >> laura: you are still very judicious.
7:19 pm
i will say it the way it is, i'm more cynical, i've been here to go, got to move somewhere else. this is orchestrated. the idea it came out and i took lie detector in august, why did you take a lie detector in august, if you wanted to be anonymous. i have to play something for you, dying to get your opinion. two legal minds out there today, differing views on whether you can get to the bottom of this factual situation 36 years ago. let's watch. >> it is unlikely that we will be able to conclusively show that someone is lying and someone telling the truth. left to cred iblt judgment. >> there is other evidence out there in the world that we need to hear. why was she in a bathing suit? was this a house with a pool? these are all facts that can be determined -- >> laura: that narrows it down, house with a pool, chevy chase, not many houses there. which side do you come down on?
7:20 pm
factual determination impossible, so it is just the theater and the spectacle of it, which will build all week long. >> ken starr: exactly. it will be drama and this is unfortunate for the culture and our values and the country. it is obviously unfair to the senate itself. this is self-inflicted wound, as i see it, by the senate, this 11th hour process that diane feinstein is totally responsible for. i'm not going to attack the person who is making accusations, but i am going to say the senate should be acting much more ju dishously than it is. it will be a free-for-all circus and that is unfortunate, it is unfair to brett kavanaugh's family. it is also unfair to the supreme court of the united states, when he's confirmed, then he nonetheless carries this memory with him. >> laura: yes, this is about roe
7:21 pm
v. wade, that is what it is about in the end. why do some accusations matter and others do not. juanita broadderick has some questions for senator feinstein. >> i've been friends with brett kavanaugh for 35 years, never thought about doing a t.v. commercial, not involved in politics, i'm a teacher and coach. i believe that we need to have bright, curious, open-minded, thoughtful empathetic people who are judges and i trust that brett is that person, he's dedicated to his work, to his family and the highest integrity as a person and i believe that he would be a great supreme court justice. >> i was up and down with
7:22 pm
the closer you get to home, the more you know the commute is worth it. you and that john deere tractor, you can keep dreaming up projects all the way home. it's a longer drive, but just like a john deere, it's worth it.
7:23 pm
7:24 pm
>> he's an outstanding intellect and judge, respected by everybody. never had even a little blemish on his record. the f.b.i. has gone through the process six times over the years, same time we want to go through a process and make sure everything is perfect, just right. i wish the democrats could have done this a lot sooner because they had this information for many months and they shouldn't have waited until literally the last days. i don't know, depends on the process, if it takes a little delay, it will delay. >> offer to withdraw? >> president trump: next question, ridiculous question. i think he's on track, very much on track. that was president trump commenting on the kavanaugh accusations and signalling he's willing to give democrats time. joining us on the phone is columnist at "wall street journal" and chris hawn radio host and former aide to chuck
7:25 pm
schumer. chris, i want to go to you first on this, there is something just wild about an allegation that can be raised less than a week before a confirmation vote that has been in the possession of diane feinstein since july, i guess early july. she held on to it, the accuser for some reason took a lie detector test. lindsey graham raised a question. then right before the vote, they dropped this thing, i was 15, he was 17. do you have any reservations as a man, i don't know if you have sons or not, but of this happening, stuff that happen necessary high school right before a big promotion or a big job? >> you know, i have daughters. look, i don't like unfounded reservations, but unfounded
7:26 pm
accusations, but look, we're in a situation, a person being elevated to highest court in the land, he will never seek election, never be confirmed by voters and never have to stand before congress again. highest level of scrutiny needs to be applied in this situation and kavanaugh is receiving that scrutiny with peril. the president's comments were as disciplined as i've heard him be, the white house knows this confirmation is in jeopardy and monday's hearing is a huge risk for kavanaugh and the white house and senate republicans f. they try to do what they did to anita hill, they will lose more seats than they could possibly think of in november. >> laura: chris, you think -- let me get this straight, this whole anita hill thing is ridiculous. clerk for justice thomas, i've known him 35 years, longer than i've known kavanaugh. you are saying someone should be able to make an allegation, where no pat esh of such behavior established, someone in public life for decades and that
7:27 pm
person should be able to lob allegations without questions about motivation, political ties, credibility or other contemporaneous comments to others when the act occurred? none can be pursued? that is neat position to be in. >> no, no, i do think all of that should be pursued, i think the f.b.i. should be investigating this claim. >> laura: okay. >> and find out what is truth and not truth. maybe monday is too quick to have a hearing for the f.b.i. to do that. i think everything you just said should be looked at. i don't think you should baselessly throw an allegation out there. >> laura: when it happens to a family member -- >> supreme court for 30 years. >> laura: that gets to the rub of it, kim, i know you are on the phone, i want you to listen to something. this was angela rye, commentator today on cnn, that speaks to the perhaps political implication of all of this and what might be
7:28 pm
really going on here. let's listen. >> need to remember what will be before brett kavanaugh if he were nominate said to the supreme court, women's choice, equal pay, workers rights. if he has a pattern and practice of demonstrateing that he cannot ever side with women or that women are beneath him, i think this is another piece of this. >> laura: kim, pattern and practice of judge kavanaugh doing the exact opposite, elevating women, more than half law clerks have been women, of course his work at the white house, his work as a young lawyer. i've known him socially and professionally for two decades, almost three, just exemplary person and among women. your reaction to that? >> yeah, correct. this is the problem with the argument that -- oh, you should go out and find the truth. as you have been saying on the show, there is no way to verify this.
7:29 pm
in part, because the accuser herself can't recollect key details. what is important here, we can have this hearing, you could have the f.b.i. looking to it, i think that is a terrible idea. it will be he said/she said in the end and what defines part of this, what she's doing is different from other allegations that happened as part of this me too thing and people need to bear that in mind. for starters, she can't provide details, even the year of when it happens, doesn't give judge kavanaugh to say he was there or someone else, nobody to verify this and there is just a lot of that that makes all this a very, very difficult accusation to just hold on its face and say, well, we obviously have to pay more attention than a lifetime of service and everything else he's demonstrated. one other thing, people we know,
7:30 pm
no, people accused of this and admitted to some of this, weinstein, behavior of this behavior and there is nothing to suggest this judge has done this. >> here -- and i agree, you look for patterns and things like this, so far, we haven't seen anything like that from judge kavanaugh. this is not a court of law, it is court of public opinion, about two or three senators on the right who may defect in in nomination, this might be their reason, needs to be full vetting of what happened and since they decided to have a hearing, they should investigate and delay the hearing until they figure it out. >> laura: the democrats want to delay and delay and delay, more they think they can drag it out, more political traction they get with this, it becomes a battering ram in the mid-term elections. the idea this was everybody acting benevolently and democrats want to get to the
7:31 pm
truth, if they wanted to get to the truth, most senior member, diane feinstein, senior woman committee, would have pursued this aggressively and kavanaugh could have testified in the raukus hearing and viewos due process. they didn't do that, why did she not do that? does that bother you, chris? it bothers the hell out of me. >> it does bother me this wasn't pursued immediately, i think perhapss that is why she took the lie detector test. senator diane feinstein and her staff when this came forward and needed that from the lie detector to move forward. that happened in august, not too long ago. here we are, at this point, going to be a hearing and frankly it's dangerous for republicans to even have this hearing. >> laura: damned if they do -- you should pull the nomination? you are saying pull the
7:32 pm
nomination. it is ridiculous. >> if i was advising, if i was advising the president, i would try to get to the truth from the nominee, if i wasn't fully satisfied, pull the nomination. >> i disagree, this is not dangerous for republicans. i wish they were not holding this hearing, the allegation is too old, too unstub stantiated and procedurally flawed. >> laura: i guess everybody in high school, in high school, what did you do? i'm sorry, at 17 years old, you are not accused of a crime. no contemporaneous reporting of this, apparently, maybe someone else can come out of the waterworks. i find this insane and i don't know why anyone live necessary washington after this. thank you so much. straight ahead, juanita broadderick, who accused bill clinton of raping her, calling democrat's hypocrisy, she joins us to sound off next.
7:33 pm
7:34 pm
7:35 pm
7:36 pm
>> laura: christine blasey-ford made a serious allegation against brett kavanaugh and as we said earlier, the accusation should be investigated. democrats, though, are happy to oblige if they don't drown in hypocrisy first. ed henry joins us to explain. ed. >> great to see you, mrs. ford and judge kavanaugh have been invited to testify monday. kavanaugh will testify tomorrow if he wants to, he's eager to clear his name. democrat diane feinstein has known about anonymous allegation since july and not said anything until late last week, president trump noted today, telling reporters, the senator should have had the courage to confront brett kavanaugh face-to-face. philip wingmen writing, chuck schumer, dick durbin were when
7:37 pm
charges of rape were alleged against bill clinton. juanita broadderick. he was not a teenager, he was in arkansas in 1978. the senate was in middle of impeachment trial in 1999, not one democrat called for investigation into broadderick accusation. dick durbin tweeted over the weekend, if the me too movement taught us anything, respect and listen to survivors of sexual assault regardless of the age or when the alleged attack took place. broadderick was not buying it, well, dick, do i have a story for you, once upon a time, bill clinton raped me. you voted not guilty on both accounts and didn't give a dam, you dickie durbin are a fraud. here is what broadderick said recently about a confrontation with hillary clinton. >> she came ahold of me, took my hand and said, i've heard so much about you and i've been dying to meet you, been wanting
7:38 pm
to meet you. i can't, just paraphrasing now. i just want you to know how much that bill and i appreciate what you do for him. she held on to my hand and she said, do you understand everything that you do, i mean cold chills went up my spine. first time i became afraid of that woman. >> democrats, the shoe may be on the other foot now for kavanaugh. during clinton administration, he was on independent counsel of starr's team and talking about bill clinton's personal life. rather than runing from this accusation, kavanaugh has gone on the record to deny it and said he's willing to testify as soon as possible. >> laura: all right, thanks, ed. ed highlighted, democrats saying a different tune when allegations raised about bill clinton. joining us is juanita broadderick, who famously accused former president of
7:39 pm
raping her. juanita, when you watch third degree unfold today with the sanctimonuous comments from chuck schumer, of course to dick durbin, diane feinstein, what ran through your mind? >> oh, it makes me go back to 1999, when diane feinstein, along with every other democrat refused to read my deposition to the independent counsel, they would have nothing to do with it. that shows difference in the double standard that existed back then and still does today. i think it's -- this is astonishing that they can do this to mr. kavanaugh. >> laura: well, if your allegations should have been taken more seriously, why shouldn't this woman's allegations be taken seriously, as well? i mean, the process notwithstanding, should her word
7:40 pm
not be respect? ed just because yours wasn't respected, why not respect her word and give her a chance to be heard? >> oh, i think she should be heard, i have so many reservati reservations about her comments. i can't imagine a young girl going through what mrs. ford said she went through and not tell anyone. you know, what i went through was horrific and of course the lady that found me was the first one that i told. i told four other people, that is just something i can't imagine that you can keep to yourself and not share with one of your closest friends. >> laura: a lot of people have been victims of sexual abuse, serious harassment, say every story were different. a number of women called in today, juanita, who had been victims of rape and sexual assault, this is montage of what some of them said. >> when i was 19, i was sexually
7:41 pm
abused, i've never forgotten the situation and i cannot believe that this woman suddenly remembered now. >> i was raped 40 years ago and i'm absolutely furious and i know that this is a last-minute ploy again, by the left. >> having background myself of being a rape victim, dow not go about this the way this is coming out, this is for attention and that does a horrible service to people that have actually had everything taken from them. i used to be democrat, i will never vote democratic again. >> laura: juanita, quick response. >> oh, yeah, it's -- i still just can't imagine it. you know, people say, why didn't you go to the police, juanita, why didn't you do something? bill clinton was the police. i had no one to go to, like when eric snyderman's victims came forward, the attorney general of new york, what do you do when your sexual abuser is the
7:42 pm
highest law enforcement officer in your state? what do you do? >> laura: well, something that happens in high school is very, very difficult to get to the bottom of 36 years later and obviously she's not -- accusing brett kavanaugh of raping her, but she said she was concerned that might happen if someone wasn't in the room, but again, he said/she said is difficult, no pattern of such behavior. juanita broadderick, thank you for joining us, we preernt appreciate it. president trump ordering declassification from the russia probe. how devin nunes joins us with his exclusive reaction next.
7:43 pm
7:44 pm
7:45 pm
>> laura: president trump taking a bold step in the russia investigation, ordering the declassification of the katrina fisa warrant and other critical documents. the probe, joining us now exclusively with more is republican congressman, devin nunes, chairman of the house intel committee who says the democrats should be frightened about these documents duclassification release. congressman, nunes, couple things viewers need to understand tonight, the documents going to be released are regarding the carter page 2017 fisa application and the bruce ohr justice department official, bruce ohr written report about the fisa
7:46 pm
application; correct? >> devin nunes: yeah, so it will be the 20 pages of the last fisa approved on carter page, which will have basically everything in it from number one, two, three and four, of what we think the american people need to understand that this is actually the insurance policy that was talked about in the strzok page check. people think getting fisa warrant on carter page, we believe it was more than that, we believe it was actually that the insurance policy was specifically what they did that still is redacted, the president said he's going to declassify orders declassified. dozen bruce ohr 302, significant not just because of fisa, but shows interaction between christopher steele, fusion gps and rotten apples within the f.b.i. up to no good. finally, there is exculpatory
7:47 pm
information that the president has ordered declassified that needs to happen and then additionally, i think everybody knows there are text messages between the top leaders at the f.b.i. at the time, the president ordered declassified. great day for the american people. >> laura: okay, so are you concerned that there will be a great lag in time, congressman, with the dni, director of national intelligence has to review this first, correct? then they will be released, no question about it? >> devin nunes: well, no, the president of the united states was clear in a statement he put out today. so 20 pages with no redaction, that is simply going to department of justice, making 20 copies and sending it out to the press, very, very simple. the only thing that could take a little bit of time would be the interviews that are in conjunction with the fisa-carter
