christopher steele? i think i heard the name before. but those kinds of answers that makes you seriously doubt the credibility of comey. >> so he really brings back to ruin the reputation of the fbi is undeniable that these policies using your power to stop trump who hires andrew mccabe? [laughter] how does that cast of characters come together? is that an internal process it is inevitable? how all these people of left-wing politics and animus how do they get into the upper echelon? that can't happen with anything other than purpose. >> comey surrounded himself with sycophants doesn't matter the qualification talking to top officials who say to be deputy fbi director. >> even though i have a spouse involved in politics andot people in 21st century america but even the question to have a spouse so politically active in the commonwealth of virginia they would say the optics of that are not great. >> yes. you should have recused himself and he did but it was too late at the very end. after one - - open chapter four by observing rod rosenst

cooperated, he knew the primary sub source refuted steele's so-called intelligence, he knew christopher steele had serious credibility issues and they lied about that. he knew steele had sketchy ties with russian oligarchs, he knew he was being funded by the rush ohillary campaign, right before the judges. they also knew that, and they hit it just as we have been reporting. and call me would have to be a complete and total -- i don't rule that out, by the way -- not to know that steele was leaking his information to the press. the fbi included circular reporting, conspiracy theorists -- they are fed information they don't cooperated they just run with it. great reporting, christopher steele was the lone source for that yahoo news report by michael isikoff. political hack that he is. he was ultimately fired as the source for the fbi for lincoln, but he had such great ability. guess what, 2018 here is super patriot jim comey calling steele a reliable source. take a look. >> christopher steele is he considered reliable according to your sources? >>> yes. >> what is your assessment of that dossier

part number one is to exploit the dossier penned by christopher steele. the fbi was unable to verify. they tried mightily but you can't verify something that doesn't exist, that is simply a lie but part a of the plan was to leak it to the media and they assumed the media would run crazy with this story, it would damage trump politically and ensure hillary clinton's election in november of 2016 and while it is true that many members of the media did pick up on the story it didn't quite gain traction and resonate with american voters and trump was elected but the insurance policy was plan b. the insurance policy famous from the peter stzrok lisa page text message we have an insurance policy, the insurance policy was the fbi's investigation donald trump won we would kick it into overdrive and really go after him and make our investigation of him, potential or alleged russian asset public. and they did. in fact they did it in january of 2017 before he was even sworn into office. comey, clapper, brennan, concocted a plan to ambush trump at trump tower, selecti

take a look. >> christopher steele, is he considered reliable according to your sources? >> yes. >> what is your assessment of that dossier? >> as it was described to me as ?it came in, it was raw intelligence and a series of reports. from a credible person, with a reliable track record and a known experience and to source network in russia. so it will something to be taken seriously, didn't mean that it was all true but it was to be taken seriously. its core assertion was corroborated by other intelligence, its core assertion being that the russians have a campaign going on to interfere in the american election. >> that was then, and remains today a total lie. one of many for mr. super patriot jim comey, and this isf important, we haven't even discussed the glaring omissions in the fisa applications. that is a big deal too. on multiple occasions, comey's fbi withheld information fromor the fisa court. the omitted carter page who previously assisted a u.s. government agent, in fact an fbi attorney actually altered an email so that it stated the opposite about carter page.

it's meant to gratify the agreement as of the present a tk about christopher steele or james comey or peter strzok or n lisa page. none of those people are responsible for the president's misconduct. only donald trump is responsible for his misconduct, and he must be held to account. thank you. >> will you still pursue john bolton if tomorrow's vote fails? >> hi, guys. most of you not being here at 11:00 last night. >> i was here. >> a few of us were here. >> you all kind of blend together. >> are you talking to chairman burr? he said he didn't -- >> let me just make my opening comments. two things happened yesterday that, even in the realm of current politics, were pretty stunning. we had the president's lawyer say a president of long as they feel like they are acting in their own interest on reelection can virtually do anything. then we had the president's of the attorneys say, as long as it doesn't meet the criteria of a political contribution from bill barr's justice department, foreign interference is fine. i think those are both wrong i think they dramatically weaken american ex

the very people giving us this impeachment show now are the very people with the christopher steele showral came out and told the american public i am independent and i'm telling you the christopher steele dossier was bunk, the adam schiffs and the jerry nadlers, the american public heard that. and i think the sentiments in the country, you saw impeachment go down, the american people are far more perceptive than the democrats are giving them credit for. >> it's amazing. when push comes to shove, americans, and you see this time and time again over history. they make the right choices. i realize a lot of people don't like donald trump and didn't vote for him. but 63 million americans did. and he did win the election. so for them to go from russian agent to ukrainian conspiracy, the latest one last week was war crimes. i don't know. it will change i'm sure within a few more days. they are grasping at straws and trying find anything they can. people see through it, right? >> they do. there are a lot of serious democrats but they are drowned out by the squad and nancy pelosi's antics. they

trish: they didn't ask the obvious questions like who is paying christopher steele?omeone realized it was opposites and research may be the fisa court judge would have signed off on a warrant but then again maybe they didn't want to ask those questions because they knew all along. what is your sense of the bias that went into all of this? >> will look, the left and the democrats and the mainstream media are playing a lot of board games trying to continually repeat this phrase, node duck commander testimonial evidence of bias. only means this. mice didn't find the memo or a 302 the fbi where they wrote oh by the way we are doing this because we hate donald trump. trish: they didn't have the tax back and forth. say they found the text and that's okay. the inspector general did a good job but every other page in that report shows bias and i mean look there are only two options but as we talk about this tonight and future times of people read that report every mistake, 17 errors and inaccuracies and deliberate omissions in front of the fisa court. there only two options

it is not a conspiracy that christopher steele utilized his network of assets, including assets apparently in russia to draft the dossier. it is not a conspiracy that the dossier was shared with the department of justice through bruce ohr, who was the number four ranking member of the department of justice at that time because his wife happened to be working for the organization, fusion gps, that was putting the dossier togeth together. this is also not a conspiracy. it sounds like one, except it's real. it's also not a conspiracy that that dossier, purchased dossier, was taken by the fbi, submitted to the foreign intelligence surveillance court to obtain a foreign intelligence surveillance order on an american citizen. it is also not a conspiracy that that court issued an order, two of them now, condemning the fbi's practice and acknowledging that many of those orders were not properly issued. none of that is a conspiracy theory. that is just the facts. thank you. >> thank you, council. the senator from wisconsin. >> mr. chief justice, i sent a question to the desk for both president's co

to put together a dossier and that christopher steele relied on his network of resources around the globe including russia and other places to put together this dossier, which then james comey said was unverified and salacious, but it was the basis upon which the department of justice and the fbi obtained fisa warrants, this was in 2016 against a rival campaign. so we don't have to do hypotheticals. that is precisely the situation. but to take it an additional step, this idea that any witness will be called if this body decides to go to witnesses, that a witness will be called would be a violation of fundamental fairness. of course, if witnesses are called by the house managers through that motion, well, the president's council would have the opportunity to call witnesses as well, which we would. thank you, mr. chief justice. >> thank you, counsel. senator? >> mr. chief justice, i have a question to the desk. >> the question from senator harris is for the house managers. president nixon said "when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal." before he was elected p
