chris stewart is here. you're not supposed to be investigating yourselves. do much good if they don't give you the documents you're subpoenaing. what happens if they don't give you all or just some of what you are looking for? >> this is important issue. we are the people's house. many times we feel like doj, fbi said others, look at those cute little congressman over there and fun little investigation. let's pat them on the head to give them a popsicle, send them on their way. that is completely unacceptable. do you think the department much justice or any organization is going to be responsible if the, if they won't be responsible to the congress? and if they're not responsible to the congress, if they're not responsible to the people's house, then why in the world are we any different than vladmir putin and the way he runs his government? very important. david: even then, we would be different is, vladmir putin would not allow it to happen. the president of the united states, you can gnat president reluctance about his department of justice to give this,

chris stewart said this on national television. i pushed back on him and now we have the fbi saying we have grave worries about releasing this. it's hard not to see this as anything more than politics when you have somebody claiming something that is completely not true. >> seems like this is definitely going to be politics because you have the democrats saying if you're going to release the nunes memo why wouldn't you also release our memo? if all these memos are released it doesn't get to the root of the case and the actually facts that the memos are based off. of course, the statement by the fbi put out today, it really pushes back on christopher stewart's casting or this memo will not portray the full picture and the evidence upon which it's based. there's this idea the fbi is leaving no questions about how they feel about this memo, and i think president trump is really dogged with this idea of the russian investigation and this russian cloud that hangs over the white house. if he thinks releasing the memo is going to make his

chris stewart, republican congressman from utah, has been watching this with me. he sits on the house intelligence committee. and i know you have to run, so let me ask you about one of those things that he said, which was pretty startling, there may have been malfeasance at the fbi? >> yeah, no question about that. that's why we feel it is so important to release this information to the american people. and it doesn't matter who they're targeting, a political figure, private citizen, we all have those -- the expectation of privacy and our civil rights would be defended and, again, that's why we want to share this with the american people. >> what is this malfeasance? >> well, we see the memo, i think it will give you some insight into that. by the way, this memo isn't the last you're going to hear about this. we're going to have to report to the american people more broadly as well. i think this is the first installment of us being able to say to the american people, these are our concerns, these are the individuals that we're concerned with, and this is how we th
