>> sean: powerful ad. we'll have more on that later in the week. that is all the time we have left. we're always fair and balanced. we are not the destroy the trump media, never will be. news you won't get anywhere else. 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: justice thomas as one of the nation's finest supreme court justices. i'll never forget his testimony, how powerful it was, powerful that was. it was a very 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 a very important night here 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.

bill clinton accuser juanita broadry broadry -- broderick is here with questions for dianne feinstein about her claims and how they were treated 20 years ago. hear exclusively from house intel chair 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 against supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh. christine blasey-ford is claiming when she was 15 and kavanaugh was 17, he made unwanted advances toward 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

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, no shock there, like flake and corker, joined those calls. but there are holes in ms. 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, suffice it 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 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 ms. ford an sunt 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.

democrats have been salivating for another clarence thomas, anita hill-like spectacle to use against republicans in the fall and maybe get some more female voters while they're at it. here's minority leader chuck 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, in part because of what happened to her, five years ago, and told all the details. and third, to come out and say something like this that puts you and your family through incredible scrutiny, people through brick bats at you and everything else, she didn't do it on a whim, she didn't do 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

supremely confident. the very idea schumer or anyone is going to 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 by the way, earlier today, he said, it's a little odd that she even decided to take a lie detector test and wanted to remain anonymous. huh. 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 olinski-ite maneuver trying to cause maximum damage to kavanaugh, president trump, and the mid-term election 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 ford's attorney, debra katz claims that her client is willing to appear before the judiciary committee. >> she's willing to cooperate,

she is not willing to be part of this blood letting that happens in washington, we only need to look at the anita hill hearings to know what that's going to look like and that's not a fair way to get at the truth. >> laura: think about this, fair? what is a fair way? so, anyone has the freedom, a male or a female has the 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 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, i've known him 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. and if this can happen to him, i tr tremble for this country and for this process and for any man or

woman who find themselves up for a big job and who didn't spend his or her teenage years in a convent or monastery. that is the angle. joining us now with reaction are suzanne matan and julie, they signed a letter of support vouching for kavanaugh's character last week after the accusation against him first surfaced. we're also joined by jen mascot, a former law clerk for the judge and also -- having clerked for justice thomas. great to see you. everyone, thanks for being here tonight, i know you are busy, lots to do. suzanne, let's start with you. tell us how you knew -- we all know him as brett, but tell us 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 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. anything when you look back at your knowing him in high school, anything stick in your mind like, 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 the brett that 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?

you know a lot of these young women -- you are all 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 tv 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. why did you guys decide to come here tonight? you are both mothers, and busy 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

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. >> in a lot of these #metoo cases, wooiharvey weinstein whoe fallen because of disgusting past behavior, almost all of them, a 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. if 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 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 character and integrity. mentored women as law clerks. >> laura: someone last week, forgive me for not remembering who it was, someone on one of the major shows was saying, oh, now we know why he touted the fact that 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. >> so 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. we've seen people from all walks of life, unimpeachable record, he's had a clear record. you know, 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 admire him and respect him and he'd be an excellent supreme court justice. >> laura: how hard do you want him to fight? this 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 who are up for a big job or a 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 -- you know, yeah, i was at someone's house.

but the idea that something that 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 -- when someone's a creep, you know it. we all knew people who were creepy. we all met people. did 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 had been, like, even the slightest, like you said, inkling of something to the contrary, we would have --

>> laura: someone would have heard it. >> yeah. >> laura: julie, any thoughts from friends or people you know who know the accuser or anything about the 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. and again, we thank you and i know our viewers thank you for coming out. don't let anyone intimidate from having your truth because that's what i think that's what they want you 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 investigation." judge, you were on radio with me this morning and tonight on the show. things have changed a lot from 9:30 this morning when you and i

talked about this. 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 change in the intervening hours? >> ken starr: no, the thing that is 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. i, likewise, can attest 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

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 three decades of professional life in washington, d.c., be a neighbor and yet be this kind of person who is now 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 that the senate -- this is what i said -- that the process broke down terribly when dianne feinstein allowed then, this process to remain what it is. i don't need to rehearse the facts for this to be enshrouded in secrecy and be dropped like a neutron bomb. >> laura: you are still very judicious.

i will say it the way it is, i'm more cynical than you are. i've been here too long, i've 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? why would you do that if you wanted to be anonymous? it doesn't make sense. 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's telling the truth. left to credibility 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? i mean, these are all facts that can be determined. >> laura: that narrows it down, house with a pool, chevy chase, judge, not too many houses there.

judge, what side do you come down on that? factual determination impossible, so it is just the theater and the spectacle of it, which will build all week long. >> ken starr: exactly. it's going to be drama and i think this, again, is very unfortunate for the country, for the culture, and for our values. it's also 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 these accusations. but i am going to say that the senate should be acting much more judiciously than it is. it will be a free-for-all circus and that is unfortunate, it is unfair to brett kavanaugh's family. it's also unfair to the supreme court of the united states. because when he's confirmed, then he nonetheless carries this

memory with him. >> laura: yes, this is about roe 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. give us the work no one else wants to do. we don't just go against the grain. we grow it. give us the frontiers. the places where success is measured in pushed limits. give us the middle of nowhere. where the only map is your buddies' tread marks. this life? no one's born ready for it. ( ♪ ) ( ♪ )

>> he's an >> i've been friends with brett kavanaugh for 35 years, never >> 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? >> next question. what a ridiculous question. >> you think his confirmation is on track? >> oh, he's on track. he's very much on track. >> laura: that was president trump commenting on the kavanaugh accusations and signaling he is 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 schumer. chris, i want to go to you first on this because 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 dianne 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 about that earlier today. it's curious. and then right before the vote, they drop 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 happens in 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

accusations, but look, we're in a situation where a person is being elevated to the highest court in the land. he will never seek election. he will never be confirmed by the 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 i think monday's hearing is a huge risk for both kavanaugh and the white house and senate republicans if 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 just 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 pattern of such behavior established, someone in public life for decades and that

person should be able to lob these allegations without questions about motivation, politic 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 fbi should be investigating this claim and they should find out what is truth and what is not truth. maybe monday is too quick to have a hearing for the fbi to do that. i think everything you just said should be looked at. i don't think you should baselessly throw a political allegation out there. >> laura: when it happens to a family members -- >> 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, which i think

perhaps speaks to some of the political implications of all of this and what might be really going on here. let's listen. >> need to remember what will be before brett kavanaugh if he were nominated to the supreme court. women's choice, equal pay, workers' rights. if he has a pattern and practice of demonstrating 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 more than two decades, almost three. just an exemplary person and among women. your reaction to that? >> yeah, correct. this is the problem with the argument that -- oh, you should

go out there an find the truth. as you have been saying on the show, there is no way to verify this. in part, because the accuser herself can't recollect key details. and i think what's really important here is we can have this hearing. you could even have the fbi look into it. i think that's a terrible idea. it will be he said/she said in the end and what defines part of this, what she's doing is very different from other allegations that have happened as part of this #metoo 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. that's one other thing.

people we know -- by the way, no, people that have been accused of this and admitted to this, like harvey weinstein. they have a pattern of behavior like this. and there is nothing to suggest that this judge has done this. >> and i agree, you look for patterns in things like this and 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 really investigate what happened and maybe delay the hearing until they figure this 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

truth, if they wanted to get to the truth, most senior member, of that committee for the democrats, dianne feinstein, a senior woman on that committee, would have pursued this aggressively and brett kavanaugh could have testified in those three days in that raucous hearing and views on 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 perhaps 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: so what do you think, you pull the nomination?

you are saying pull the 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 unsubstantiated 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 wood work, but my goodness, i find this to be insane and frankly i don't know why anyone lives in 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.

>> laura: christine blasey-ford made a serious allegation >> 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. fox news chief national correspondent ed henry joins us to explain. ed? >> great to see you, mrs. ford and judge kavanaugh have been invited to testify monday. by the senate judiciary committee. 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 kavanaugh face-to-face. philip wegmen writing, chuck schumer, dick durbin were when

in congress when charges of rape were levelled against then bill clinton. juanita broadderick. clinton was not a teenager at the time, in his hotel during his first gubernatorial race in 1978. the senate was in middle of impeachment trial in 1999, not one democrat called for investigation into broadderick accusation. when dur bin tweeted this over the weekend, if the #metoo movement has taught us anything, we have to 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 you didn't give a damn back then, you dick 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 to meet you. i can't, just paraphrasing now. and she said 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. that's the first time i became afraid of that woman. >> democrats, the shoe may be on the other foot now for kavanaugh. remember during the clinton administration, he was working on independent counsel ken starr's team and pushing for as much transparency as possible into bill clinton's personal life. rather than running 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. as ed highlighted, democrats sang a different tune when multiple allegations were raised about bill clinton. joining us is juanita broadderick, who famously accused former president of raping her.

juanita, i know when you watched this unfold today with the sanctimonious comments from everyone from chuck schumer, dick durbin, dianne 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 just shows you the difference in the double standard that existed back then and still does today. i think it's -- i think 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 not be respected?

just because yours wasn't respected years ago, why not respect her word and at least give her a chance to be heard? >> oh, i think she should be heard. but i still have so many 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 is different. there were a number of women who called in to my radio show today who had been victims of rape and sexual assault. this is a montage of what some

of them said. >> when i was 19, i was sexually 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, you do 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 and said, you know, when he was the attorney general of new york, what do you do when

your sexual abuser is the 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 apparently she said she was concerned that might happen if someone was in the room. again, he said/she said is difficult, no pattern of such behavior. juanita broadderick, thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. president trump ordering declassification of key documents from the russia probe. how devin nunes joins us with his exclusive reaction next. we are the tv doctors of america, and we may not know much about medicine, but we know a lot about drama. from scandalous romance, to ridiculous plot twists. (gasping) son? dad! we also know you can avoid drama by getting an annual check-up. so we're partnering with cigna to remind you to go see a real doctor.

go, know, and take control of your health. it could save your life. doctor poses! dad! cigna. together, all the way.

>> laura: president trump >> laura: president trump taking a bold step in the russia investigation, ordering the declassification of the carder page 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 declassification release. congressman, nunes, couple things that our viewers need to understand tonight, the documents that are going to be released are regarding the carter page 2017 fisa application and the bruce ohr justice department official bruce ohr written reports about

the fisa application, correct? >> yeah, so it will be the 20 pages of the last fisa approved on carter page which have basically everything in it from pages one, two, three, and four of what we think the american people need to understand that this is the actual insurance policy in the struyk 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 the carter page fisa but because it shows the interaction between christopher steere, fusion gps and many other rotten apples

within the fbi that were up to no good. finally, there is exculpatory 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 fbi at the time, that the president has ordered declassified. it's going to be a 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? >> well, no, the president of the united states was very clear in the statement that he put out today. so 20 pages with no redaction. that is as simply as going to the department of justice, making 20 copies and sending it out to the press. it's 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, that could be a little problematic. but i would think if the leader of the free world, the president of the united states who has had to deal with the russia nonsense for this long, if he orders it done it shouldn't take longer than a few days. but we're ready for it to take more, we're used to it. >> laura: adam schiff today said that president trump in clear abuse of power has decided to intervene in a pending law enforcement investigation by ordering selective release of materials he believes is helpful to his defense team and he will advance a false narrative, already attempting to set in stone what the documents say congressman, to me it looks very defensive on the part of adam schiff, why so defensive? okay, it was the president's decision and wouldn't the american people like to see this after all this time?

>> the main stream media is also buying the kool-aid that this will endanger national security. it's laughable they are saying it will endanger national security. you've heard me say this, this is full transparency for the american people, all the information i think the american people will need to see because for two years wife been force feeding this russia kool-aid, so much so you have the media involved in it, the mainstream media. the poor american people, the people who are part of this resistance movement who actually believe that the president is under control by the russians and republicans are controlled by the rugssians. this is crazy talk. >> laura: lisa page, in one of the text messages, though, didn't she basically say they had no indication of russian collusion? like, in 2016, they had to basically find something, tried to find something, they needed

the fisa. >> well, this was always an investigation in search of a crime. i supported mueller when he was first appointed because i thought, great, we have a good guy that was there before, he will come in and see there is no evidence of collusion except maybe collusion between the democrats and the russians which there is which the special counsel has done nothing about and nobody has investigated it. now this thing has gone on so long it is scary to see the mainstream media, many americans who have bought into the russia kool-aid is scary. >> laura: they've advocated the whole role of calling balls and strikes at this point. thank you for joining us, exclusive take on this declassification, this is what everybody is asking for and we await these documents. with the mid-terms just 50 days away, a new republican ad
