but also, the investigative work of bruce ohr.en bruce ohr's expertise and his past work in the justice department, are you at all concerned? i certainly am intrigued myself as to why they're singling him out in way that i'm expecting to be designed to destroy his career. >> well, you know, a couple things. number one, there is a reason why police and public officials don't typically talk about what's happening inside an investigation, because inside an investigation, you have law enforcement people, policemen, fbi agents doing things like following hunches and getting to dead ends. until you're actually ready to go to court, nothing's ready so that's why if you just sort of start pell-mell releasing papers you could create an impression that is not true. but i got to tell you, rachel, this is infuriating, right? bruce ohr, by all accounts, and by the way, at some point i hope they release his testimony, because i heard that his testimony last week actually completely rebutted the notion that he was doing anything untoward. but br

bruce ohr. he is the face now of the deep state corruption. rding to a damning investigative report from john solomon, in the summer of 2016, it was ohr, remember he was the fourth highest ranking member of the doj, tampering with an on going fbi investigation into so called russian collusion. why? to destroy then candidate to destroy then candidate we'll break it down step by step, layer by layer. here's what we know. 2016, hillary clinton wanted dirt on her opponent, donald trump.il this is after she got her exoneration without an investigation. that's another part of the story.af her campaign and dnc funneledn. money through a law firm that hired fusion gps a research firm. then, of course, they attempted to literally hire a foreign national, which we thought was a bad thing for america. that was christopher steele, former am i 65. don't forget, nellie ohr is the wife of bruce ohr, working on the phony russian dossier. dirt on donald trump that nobody bothered to verify. not so coincidentally, the fbi was also paying christopher steele. they

. >> i think bruce ohr is a disgrace. >> and why the president and his allies are trying to destroy bruce ohr. >> bruce and nellie ohr are the bonnie and clyde of collusion. >> so far every indictment is unrelated to the president. >> reporter: foreign money traced to the trump inauguration fund and another guilty plea produced by the mueller probe, and donald trump's emergency visit to texas to help ted cruz. >> i call him lying ted. >> "all in" starts right now. >> donald, you're a sniveling coward. >> good evening, i'm chris says. there's a reason the president of the united states has been waging an all out public war against an obscure career civil servant -- because that civil servant reportedly had information in the summer of 2016 that russian intelligence believed "they had trump over a barrel." unless you watch fox news, you probably don't know anything about him. ohr spent a decades long career at doj prosecuting violent gangs and organized crime, developing a special focus on russian organized crime. and for those years since he first became a prosecutor 27 years ago, ohr was

it was bruce ohr. it was steele. it was ohr who spread steele's phoney dossier throughout the government. it was ohr who became a back channel. 70 plus contacts of christopher steele even after he was fired for leading anti-trump leaking it to the press in this country. that means to you. it was bruce ohr who knew steele was completely bias, desperate to stop trump at all costs and that ohr wrote that steele was passionate about donald trump never being president. bruce ohr knew of the dossier was bias, would never hold up in court. he knew it was not verified or corroborated, but pushed it into the hands of strzok and even the pit bull himself andrew weissman. start with hillary clinton, her campaign. it gets to a foreign spy, foreign agent. he hates trump. gets phoney russian information. it's disseminated to you, the american people, and it gets worse from there. none of this should happen in america. yet a political campaign, the doj working together coordinating their efforts, literally to stop one candidate over

bruce ohr was one of the u.s. officials in 2006 who figured out a way to ban a powerful putin-linked oligarch named oleg deripaska from entering the united states. they banned him from getting a visa based on his alleged ties to russian organized crime, and based on fears that deripaska might be coming to the u.s. specifically to launder russian mob money into u.s. real estate. that was 2006. that's when they blocked him from coming to the u.s. 2006. around the time that oleg deripaska was doing lots of business with trump campaign chair paul manafort overseas, was right around the time the ap reports that paul manafort entered into a $10 million a year contract with oleg deripaska to promote the interests of russian president vladimir putin and his government. well we have since learned from further "new york times" reporting that almost a decade later, almost a decade after bruce ohr as the senior justice department official working on russian organized crime, nearly a decade after he participated in this u.s. e

it was bruce ohr. it was steele. it was ohr who spread steele's phoney dossier throughout the government. it was ohr who became a back channel. 70 plus contacts of christopher steele even after he was fired for leading anti-trump leaking it to the press in this country. that means to you. it was bruce ohr who knew steele was completely bias, desperate to stop trump at all costs and that ohr wrote that steele was passionate about donald trump never being president. bruce ohr knew of the dossier was bias, would never hold up in court. he knew it was not verified or corroborated, but pushed it into the hands of strzok and even the pit bull himself andrew weissman. start with hillary clinton, her campaign. it gets to a foreign spy, foreign agent. he hates trump. gets phoney russian information. it's disseminated to you, the american people, and it gets worse from there. none of this should happen in america. yet a political campaign, the doj working together coordinating their efforts, literally to stop one candidate over

how the hell is bruce ohr still employed with the justice department. disgraceful, witch hunt. no one has produced any shred of evidence that ohr did something wrong. nevertheless, he is the key villain in a far right experience theory claiming the russia probe was made up oust thin air and it centers on ohr's relationship with christopher steel who composed. >> his wife nelly hired steel to investigate then candidate trump. that firm was conducting research on behalf of republicans and then on democrats. bruce ohr first met steel over a decade ago when they were both in the business of investigating russian corruption and organized crime. he was the that steel contacted when he started hearing troubling information about a candidate for president. we are learning for the first time about what steel told bruce ohr over a breakfast meeting on july 30, 2016. in a congressional interview earlier this week, he said he learned from steel that an unnamed official communicated that russian intelligence believed they had trump over a barrel. russian intelligence believed they had trump

>> the first guy that bruce ohr talks to after he meets with christopher steele is andy mccabe. called him up and then meets with him an page. all of the key people at the fbi knew what was going on before they take the dossier to the court. they knew ohr's involvement. they knew who paid for the dossier, and they knew the guy who wrote it, christopher steele, had told bruce ohr that he was desperate to stop trump. we don't believe they conveyed any of that critical

>> the first guy that bruce ohr talks to after he meets with christopher steele is andy mccabe. called him up and then meets with him an page. all of the key people at the fbi knew what was going on before they take the dossier to the court. they knew ohr's involvement. they knew the guy who wrote it, christopher steele, had told bruce ohr that was desperate to stop trump. we don't believe they conveyed any of that critical information

at the justice department, we know donald trump has been publicly going after bruce ohr. your reporting is that ohr met in 2016 with christopher steele and concluded from that that russia had trump, quote, over a barrel. what does that mean exactly? >> so bruce ohr, before congress behind closed doors, he described that july 2016 breakfast he had with chris steele, and he said that chris steele had told him that a former russian senior intelligence official had used that language, namely that donald trump was over a barrel by russian intelligence, and bruce ohr was very clear that he actually didn't know what that meant and couldn't vouch for its authenticity or accuracy or what exactly chris steele was talking about. but he also said that chris steele had worked for the fbi as an informant for many years and delivered actionable, credible intelligence, including during an investigation into fifa, which is soccer's global governing body. so we don't know exactly what it meant. one thing that's really interesting is, we've known for a long time obviously what the general pr

the civil servant in question is long-time justice department lawyer named bruce ohr. unless you watch a lot of fox news, you probably don't know anything about him. ohr has spent a decades-long career prosecuting violent gangs and organized crime, developing a special focus on russian organized crime. for all those years since he first became a prosecutor 27 years ago, ohr was basically just a guy who went to work every day doing his job, investigating some pretty dangerous people on behalf of the u.s. government. until he ended up involved in the special counsel's russia probe, and now despite having been accused of no actual wrongdoing, bruce ohr is public enemy number one to the president and his allies. >> tonight we are blowing this case about bruce ohr, fisa abuse wide open. i've been on the phone with sources all day and all night. >> i think that bruce ohr is a disgrace with his wife nellie. for him to be in the justice department and doing what he did, that is a disgrace. >> he gets information, passes it to the fbi. that becomes the basis to spy on the trump

steele and bruce ohr had a number of meetings. we now know that ohr was told by steele that the russians thought they had trump over a barrel. does it surprise you that ohr didn't go back and tell his superiors at the department of justice what he was learning? >> so i don't think we know enough about that exchange right now to make a fair assessment on what bruce ohr was or was not doing. he had a history of being involved and investigating russian organized crime. that's how he first met christopher steele. he was serving as that conduit, possibly for the government to provide this information. what i'm frayed of if we continue to chase these lines from the president where he tries to attack people, undermine their credibility, we're going to lose the forest for the trees here. i think the main focus as we talk about christopher steele is people are trying to make him out to be this boogieman, that he is some partisan who is going to campaign to destroy the president when we stop and think about who he is, this is a former or ret

why do you think there was that communication between steele and bruce ohr? >> steele and ohr had known each other 10 years at this point. it should be noted ohr has experience in investigating russian organized crime. it's something he did at the justice department and as a prosecutor. they kind of bonded over this connection where steele is an ex "mi 6" agent, had type ties in -- had deep ties in to russia and interested in tracking russian crime. he previously provided information to the justice department they found credible and used in bringing other cases and also passing along to other intelligence agencies. >> so at the time this meeting took place, this meeting between bruce ohr and christopher steele where he relayed that information, what was happening with the russia probe at the time? do we have a sense of where the general intelligence community's assessment was with russia's involvement in american elections was or trying to shape it? >> we do. this was right at the beginning of the fbi's counter-intelligence investigation into russian election

josh, in terms of bruce ohr, we know steele and bruce ohr had a number of meetings. we know that ohr was told by steele that the russians had trump over a barrel. does this surprise you that ohr did not go back and tell his superior of what he was learning. >> we don't know of that exchange right now to make a fair assessment. he had a history of being involved in investigating russian organized crimes. he was serving for the government to provide the information. what i am afraid that if we continue to chase these lines from the president where he tries to attack team. the main focus as we talk about steele is people are trying to make him out to be this boogy man that he's going to campaign to destroy the president. what i think is important is we stop and think who he is. this is a former and retired officer with the british security service who was retired and was investigating on behalf of the client, whether or not donald trump had connections with the kremlin. he took that information and he was so concerned of what he found that he first took it through the fb

talking about this reporting, especially when it comes to the associated press that claims from bruce ohr he was told that the russian intelligence had trump over a barrel, according to multiple people familiar with that encounter and what do you take away from that encounter. >> this was not in the dossier, something that christopher steele told bruce ohr over breakfast that a russian intelligence officer had said and one of his sources inside of russia had picked up in his conversations with members of russian intel, and that is significant because that means that members of the gru and the fsu were discussing the fact -- or the notion that they had compromising information about the president that was causing trump to act in certain ways. that was essentially blackmail. and it is something that we had not heard before.

catherine: justice department bruce ohr kept andrew weissmann in the loop on the anti-trump dossier. rlier this week sources say ohr told investigators the contact with weissmann and senior fbi officials occurred before and after the 2016 election. a half dozen justice department officials knew about his back-channel contacts with steele. ohr told investigators he never handled evidence this way before. and the broad circle of contacts indicate senior fbi leadership, weissmann and two other department of justice officials knew about steele and the dossier. on the fbi side, ohr's contact includes peter strzok who ran the russia probe who was recently fired over his anti-trump text and other issues. and his former lover lisa page who also left the bureau. andrew mccabe who was fired over allegations he lied to fbi agents. republicans in the house want the president to declassify fbi records about ohr and the surveillance warrant for campaign aides. president trump: what's happening is a disgrace. at some point i wanted to stay out. but if it doesn't straighten out properly. i will get i

and you have bruce ohr bruce ohr, once the fourth highest ranking official in the doj, feeding the dirtyussian dossier to the man that would then go on to be mueller's pitbull. and remember the exchanges between steele and bruce ohr. i hope the firewall holds. oh, and yeah, did the special counsel get your messages? so was andrew weissmann colluding? was he conspiring? why didn't robert mueller tell the american people about the context with bruce ohr and christopher steele, and why do we have to figure it out? catherine herridge did and we also know that and unearthed handwritten note from bruce ohr after the election, let's see, listing peter strzok, lisa page, and other fbi agent, reading no prosecution yet, push the case ahead on m, which is paul manafort, go back to chris, which is steele. and that's what they believe it means, paul manafort is m, christopher steele is christopher steele. and against what is unfolding here. taxes and et cetera, finally tonight, one sign, the molar investigation could be drawing to a right. we will will talk to jay sekulow. the special counsel will r

with bruce ohr. he iss head of the crime fraud division.e knows everything that's going on and he's relaying that information obviously to somebody else.ha this is why congress wants an investigation. this is why congressman meadows sent a letter to attorney general jeff sessions demanding that john huber, the prosecuting attorney and inspector general michael horowitz investigate bruce ohr and his connections with his wife, that conflict of interest and his communications with andrew weissmann. >> sean: what about the classifying these documents? >> this is even bigger. according to a number of sources and president trump himself actually told this. in an interview yesterday, he said that they are seriously considering the classifying the 20 places of a foreign intelligence surveillance act warrants that have been redacted by the doj. i called these at rosenstein's bicep. why? because he signed off on the last fisa, and that is critical. these are 20 pages of the carter page fisa that they do not want to come out. why? because there is inf

but first we have to cover a new story surrounding bruce ohr. the doj and inspector general investigate his cd ties to christopher steele, right into robert mueller's office and other fbi investigators. big news tonight, catherine herridge we now know and steele and his phony dossier was fed it to andrew muller's pit bull, and we know bruce ohr, once the fourth ranking official, the doj maintained contact with steele even after the fbi fired him for lying and leaking. and his wife nellie, she worked at fusion gps and she they are the ones i got the money. and that he fought failed to disclose any of this. meanwhile according to a breaking report from judicial watch it appears that fbi agent peter strzok author of the first draft of the fbi's letter to congress about the clinton emails found on anthony weiner's laptop which proves his critical role. we will have more on that in just a moment. new reports, sara carter and president trump may classify 20 plus pages of pfizer documents that have been begging to be released. they shouldst shine a ver

you won't believe what we're learning about doj official bruce ohr.o is here with his friday folly segment with how he'll

you have all of these trump-hating deep state actors, peter strzok, lisa page, bruce ohr, nellie ohr, andrew mccabe, christopher steele, they have one thing in common, they all hate president trump. this was about a month before andrew weissmann's boss, robert mueller, started the phony witch hunt. he's still working for mueller, weissmann is. this comes as president trump looks poised to declassify important sections of carter page's fisa documents, everything that was shown to the gang of eight, specifically the pages 10 through 12, 17 through 34, potentially we're told exculpatory information on carter page. now, all of the associated footnotes, the so-called 302s, the reports that say bruce ohr talking about christopher steele in the context, terms of what they talk were. this -- talk about. this declassification can happen any time. i haven't seen them but according to my sources the information will be explosive. we'll ask carter page about that in a moment considering it's about him. and if he's such a danger why hasn't he been charged? joining us you ator of number one "new yo

according to the times, two players in the program effort to bring bruce ohr and president slammed ohr to discredit him for contact with steele to compile the dossier on trump. the "times" met they met with deripaska in 2015 and again in 2016, when fbi agents showed up at deripaska's door investigating ties between russia and the trump campaign and mr. paul manafort was the link for the trump campaign. and joining me is a natasha bertrand and from bloomberg news, kevin cirilli and from the daily beast, francis fluid. so we have a lot of people. manafort and russia. and how are we connecting this dot based on the reporting. >> this underscores how important deripaska is to the entire manafort story. he did business with paul manafort between 2006 and 2015 and he would have been very useful in telling the fbi, for example, what manafort was doing overseas what his connections to oligarchs was. and deripaska and manafort had a falling out and he was in debt by the time he joined the trump campaign so it makes sense that the fbi, especially in september of 2016, would have wanted to ask de

so christopher steele and bruce ohr are communicating some 70 communications, sara, between the two of them and we have to fear that steele will be exposed, the desire to keep the firewall up, and he exposes that he expects ohr to deliver messages to robert mueller's team and now we find out that andrew weissmann was the one getting the messages. in other words, steele's lies. steele's unverified russian, hillary clinton bought and paid for lies being fed to andrew weissman and we never knew about it until now? >> now it makes sense, when we go back to the story, remember april 11th, 2017, he set up, weissmann set up a meeting with the ap. remember that that was all a day before the ap broke their big story on manafort. and because of that meeting, the fbi actually reported, reported that problem to the doj, and said that andrew weissmann set up a meeting with the ap to share information against our wishes and we are afraid that he is going to tear down our case. now the ap said they never shared anything with weissman and that weissman denies sharing anything with the ap but now it ma

actually record when bruce ohr sat down with the f.b.i.er the mueller investigation began and he was still meeting with christopher steele. i think that is valuable information and scheduled to be released as well. i want that as soon as possible. >> lou: that the president ordered to be provided in unredacted form that will be a fascinating few days to an uncertain point in the future. congressman jim jordan as always. it's great to have you with us. thank you so much. >> good to be with you. >> lou: up next the rad dal dimms continue the push -- radical dimms continue the push to reobserve investigation into supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh. >> i would like to see an investigation done. the f.b.i. is equipped to do it. >> they need to have the facts. she has a right to have the facts be developed by a nonpartisan source like the f.b.i. >> i think you can't avoid the appearance of insult if you don't have an investigation. >> guess who is perpeching all the action? it's -- perpeching all the action? it's the men in the country. i wan

it goes deeper into the ties of bruce ohr with christopher steele, who put together that unverified dossier. we had already gotten a taste of this from republican lawmakers who released some of the e-mails and text messages between ohr and steele but the "times" seems to go deeper and are saying basically that ohr was involved in trying to flip this russian oligarch, deripaska. you know, got a lot of money, lot of connections to vladimir putin, and it's interesting that now you have somebody inside the justice department in bruce ohr who was working with a man in deripaska who is known as putin's oligarch. so you hear the president saying there's collusion on the other side, yet it doesn't seem to get any traction. >> that's right. the longer this investigation goes on, the more that we find detrimental information about the doj and fbi in the way they handled the investigation and less detrimental information about the president. bruce ohr created a back channel with christopher steele who of course was compiling this dossier funded by the democrats. when the fbi had already said they didn

bruce ohr revealed to congress, he warned the fbi that his source was incredible.christopher's steel and told the borough that nellie ohr, his wife was working for fusion and contributed to the project. he delivered this information before the first application to be fisa court. against trump eight carter page. he knew that and they went ahead with it anyway and the fbi didn't disclose it. there's a lot to unpack for the american people until we get to the bottom of this. >> pete: maybe they should send her the request in russians and she speaks if you only. >> jessica: is that a problem in another language? >> pete: she works for fusion gps or she can work with christopher steele, pulled out salacious information that is unverified and handed over to the bodies in the fbi who can try to wash their hands and say we told everybody about it but someone higher up in the fbi was in cahoots for hiding it for a fisa application that we now deserve to see. she should be called to answer these questions just like bob miller gets to call whoever he wants to. it's quite clea

and the fbi continued to get briefings about those conversations that bruce ohr was having withim. >> we are out of time but he was forthcoming behind closed doors? >> he actually met with steel more times after he was fired than before. >> laura: oh, my god. i want the text messages to never stop coming. every time we have these two on, the text messages, it's the text messages. congressmen thank you so much for coming in tonight. democrat cory booker violated senate rules today in an attempt to undermine president trump's supreme court pick brett kavanaugh. or did he? to scott bolden next, government by stunts, continues. if this was a real emergency, i'd be freaking out. but thanks to cigna, we can do more than just look heroic. we can help save lives by getting you to a real doctor for a check-up. nurse, this thing's defective. please don't touch that. we are the tv doctors of america. together with cigna reminding you... to go, know, and take control of your health. doctor poses! cigna. together, all the way. >> laura: do you remember when cory booker found himself in troub

do you think the inspector general will investigate bruce ohr? if not for ohr there would not have been a fake dossier. when they cut off communications to be honest for valid reasons christopher steele would have had nowhere to go, or the backdoor conduit and even his own statements be foreclosed session he was doing something he hadn't done before in his entire 27 year career and his lawyers don't to do, becoming an actual fact witness, carrying data from the organization, the active part of planting evidence. heather: mentioned his wife nelly ohr -- >> he has a poor memory of things like how much did he make? we know she received $44,000 for nondescript work she apparently did. heather: fusion gps. >> couldn't give any of this information, a joint tax return or how much he got paid, or any outside income or russian expert but he couldn't name another company worked for before that in that russian area. heather: was any of this included in the materials? >> one thing we got from bruce ohr that was valuable was things he said, he told people whi

, when we look at where bruce ohr is, yet, this is another story lean we are learning he is a part process of understanding how russians may be involved in influencing our election or our, our, our very structures. >> let's think about the profile for recruiting someone with the intent of helping russian intelligence move money. >> that i will look for something potentially sole pro p sole proprietor that takes cash. it would not be surprising russia would have targeted someone like donald trump. the early donald trump, he was a hospitality and business. there is nothing illegal. understanding what the relationship is, how money was moved, would give us an interpretation of where he is going i have a strong suspicion he is looking at perhaps money laundering and perhaps donald trump. >> what is clear as we move on to jeff sessions as we move into this very segment is the president at this moment telling bloomberg news, he doesn't plan to fire sessions before the mid-terms, but it is definitely taking up a lot of mind space still. >> absolutely. you know the president has been very

they had bruce ohr as a conduit.he other amazing thing is, even after the president is elected, after he takes office, and for several months afterwards, they are still using christopher steele as a spy on donald trump, trying to verify the unverifiable dossier. jesse: now the big discussion is about the trump tower meeting. the allegation is that this meeting between don, jr. and this russia woman amounted to some sort of conspiracy. they don't use the word collusion. i guess the legal terminology would be conspiracy. because information is the same thing as money. i am looking at it and no information was ever give to the trump team by russia. but the hoik campaign paid for information from kremlin sources. they just washed it through an intermediary, christopher steele. isn't there a big difference between the trump tower meeting and the way the dossier was obtained? >> there is no possible way the trump tower meeting between don trump jr., manafort and a couple russians who have connections to fusion gps. the mee

you won't believe what we're learning about doj official bruce ohr. raymond arroyo is here with his friday folly segment with how he'll tell us how the funeral of at, music legend at times becama political rally. plus we have updates about nfl players kneeling during the anthem and president trump's's efforts to remake the nafta agreement all coming up. but first, our top story, cnn caught red-handed! as we've been telling you this week,e' cnn's blockbuster story last month about michael cohen was dead wrong! the network went wild with an anonymously-sourced report that claimed cohen was prepared to tell mueller's team that president trump knew in advance about thatt infamous 2016 trump tower meeting between donald trump jr. and a russian lawyer. we now know that cnn lied about cohen's a attorney lanny davis being a source for the piece, andha here is a kicker: davis nw says the story is false, but still, cnn is sticking with its story and business insider is reporting thehe network isn't planning on revealing its alleged second source. huh? the left

bruce ohr matters because of his connection to the trump dossier.fter the former british spy was fired by the fbi november 2016, documents show that the british spy, christopher steele, maintained contact with the fbi and other government officials by using bruce ohr as a back channel. the release also called for the unprecedented, publicly available records. text messages related to russia, clean copies without sections blacked out. former fbi director james comey, andrew mccabe and peter strzok, and former fbi lawyer lisa page. the source of that process may take longer because of the sheer volume of messages. this comes as fox news confirms new details about the russia probes the findings. during her july closed for testimony, a transcript reviewed by fox news shows that paige said the fbi investigation had not yielded hard evidence of russian collusion nine months into the case. special counsel or robert mueller was appointed in may 2017. tonight a justice department spokesperson told fox they are already working on the president's request. the

i don't know that protocol really matters.d what matters here is that in his testimony, bruce ohr saidthe fbi as an informant, bruce ohr continued to talk to him can repeatedly, got information, sent it to the fbi, who then put it in fisa applications. not only that, bruce ohr testified that senior officialss at the justice department, sally yates, loretta lynch, and others, john carlin, the assistant attorney general for national security, were told that he was doing this. what this tells me is that there was -- there's just no doubt that given the falsity of the fisa applications, the material falsehoods that were given by the justice department and the fbi, that the senior officials in the justice department, along with bruce ohr, were lying to a federal court and that all of them should be held accountable. not because of protocols, because they violated federal criminal law.f there ought to be a grand jury doing this. we are told that there that this guy huber is doing this.in he has not even interviewed the most important person, uranium one. god only knows what huber is not doin

bruce ohr was meeting with -- christopher steele.bruce ohr was talking to christopher steele. he was decommissioned. as i understand it, he was operating outside of his lane and meeting with somebody that the fbi had decommissioned. why would you do that? is it inappropriate? he has his own investigation ongoing. remember that in the midst of all this, there is the department of justice inspector general report that is ongoing. in some ways, the president is, i understand he is dropping at the bait and he wants us out there to clear his name. this is getting a little bit ahead of this process. democrats are complaining it's not complete and could be dangerous. i think the fbi doj will be very careful about protecting people's identity. >> juan: jesse, what you are hearing from people like mark warner, senate intelligence committee, democrat, is that the president is essentially using his power to pursue a political vendetta. >> jesse: i think he is counteracting a political vendetta against himself and his campaign. i want to take a

there bruce ohr situation, let's drill down on that a little bit.t are you looking for specifically? >> 302's are going to include all sorts of information that should have been provided and wasn't provided. it's also going to include other information with regards to what was happening behind the scenes. bruce ohr was the fourth ranking person at the doj, the dossier, christopher steele, all sorts of information was getting to the doj and fbi through bruce ohr and a lot of that information wasn't provided. that information we know already wasn't provided as well as the funding source of hillary clinton and the dnc. in that process of getting a spying warrant on in american cities citizen, carter page isn't represented in the court. there is a responsibility of the government to vet the dossier and information, and provide the information, not only the best information in support of their case but also the best information against their case. >> harris: i want to grab another topic if we can really quickly, we have kevin mccarthy on a few minutes ag
