this letter just released tonight to the attorney general jeff sessions, the house and talk chair, devin nunesviolated the law when surveillig trump campaign associate carter page. in this letter, nunes points out specific doj guidelines when it comes to fisa surveillance. he writes, "under this subsection fisa verification and accuracy procedures, the fbi itself acknowledges this importance, the accuracy of information contained within fisa applications is of the utmost importance, only documented and verified information may be used to support fbi applications, fisa warrants, to the courts. given this new information, chairman nunes is now demanding the doj explain if, in fact, these particles are in place. we know the answer. they never verified this. if they are, the chairman wants to know how officials will be punished for violating this law, lying to a fisa judge. not following protocol. this letter also points out how using this false information in a fisa court could violate several laws. look at them on the screen. 18 usc 242. using color of law to contact t and investigation. then yo

maybe he did, i had devin nunes and he dismissed it, do you think colbert went to devin nunes to do this or the other side? >> i think that colbert -- i say this and i'm going to tick a lot of people. he's a comic genius, the numbers went up after attacking the president. neil: he's very good at it. >> i hope jimmy does it on sunday night, when the president brings everybody together at perfect shooting, neil, he talked to columbine parents, heart wrenching stories and he layered down the people, he went to young black father who got a kid who got shot in inner city of washington, d.c., the press never even talked about that. how did president trump have the ability, the understanding, the empathy as we say in italian -- because we don't talk about that. neil: why did he then -- he went to alec baldwin. [laughter] neil: pushing for darrell to do that? >> if you ask for it and tweet like that you are get it back. jimmy has to watch it because hollywood is guilty of me too movement and all the gun violence. neil: i could be wrong, but that was part of thinking, guys, we are in a big-ole gl

i'll let devin nunes speak to that. he's capable of doing that. but i don't believe that -- again, i don't agree necessarily with the way you've described it or characterized it, but let me make another point if i could. you're saying, well, devin nunes did something we find kind of unusual or we can't understand. therefore, the committee and the work of the committee is irrelevant or biased or somehow flawed. you know, that would be like me saying that some of the things that, look, i could go down a long list of things that the ranking member mr. schiff has said that turned out not to be true or things that he's done. for example, when he was kind joked by a ukrainian radio station to thinking he was talking to investigators and trying to set up meetings with them. i therefore don't say everything he says, then is irrelevant or inaccurate or wrong. i think that would be unfair. you have to look at this in its totality. if you are disagreeing with chairman nunes on some action he took, to be fair, look at this in its totality. by the way, wait un

neil: ellison, thank you very much, devin nunes is asking the justice department to investigate fisa court application that ultimately approved wiretapping to carter page, you know that by now, with that house committee chairman representative devin nunes, congressman, thank you for taking the time. where does this stand right now, the back and forth over who knew what and when as you know the president has serious concerns about the idea of being fair arbitrator, what do you think about that? >> we continue to plot along and do our job under unsurmountable pressure from all sides, we have a a media that refuses to cover the issue at all. we have serious abuses that occurred in the fisa court against trump campaign. we will bring those back forward as we see them and what i sent out a couple of days ago was a letter to attorney general jeff sessions and harowitz, the ig, where we are on the investigation and what they should be looking at as far as fisa abuse. i was taxpayer to see attorney general jeff sessions appoint harowitz because we welcome more people investigating the seriou

sara carter and house intel committee chairman devin nunes will be here tonight and they will explainll of this to you. while we continue to bring information about the deep state forces that are working to take on the president, working to make sure president never got elected, the fbi is stonewalling the american people and congress when it comes to these request for documents related to three important topics including the departments investigation into clinton's email server, information about potential fisa abuses, and the justification behind why andrew mccabe was fired from the fbi. the release of documents has been extraordinarily slow. as a matter of fact, it also sounds like obstruction to me. so slow that the house judiciary committee chairman bob goodlatte was forced to issue a subpoena. the "washington examiner"'s byron york is reporting the attorney generalal jeff sessions is absolutely livid and apoplectic with the fbi director christopher wray and has low compliance with these important requests. give us these documents? in response, as reported last night, director ch

it's not that he's sticking up for devin nunes in public. he's trying to make this go away.ually what, if you see trey gowdy, the oversight committee chairman, one minute he's dee fefending the credibil of bob mueller and everything he's doing, the next minute he's going deep state. he does a straddle if you watch what he's doing. they're trying to keep 1 foot in the land of the trump voter and the other foot in some kind of integrity of yore. i have no idea where this is going to end. when you talk to senators privately, if you ask them, is the president compromised and guilty of potentially financial crimes and bob mueller is going to have him dead to rights with the paper works, what are you going to do? we'll find out when you do. >> paul ryan did defend nunes in that moment when the memo was coming out. he came out and said we have to look at the fbi. -- >> separate from the mueller investigation. >> the fbi needs to be cleansed and purged, those are words that came out of paul ryan's mouth. i will say one thing. one difference, here, why does paul ryan have a spine on

, your driver gave you one star. [ laughter ] he said you kept telling him to call you nunes -- devin nunesght laughter ] now, nunes' four-page memo is about a warrant to surveil a trump campaign foreign policy advisor named carter page, under what's known as the foreign intelligence surveillance act, or fisa. fisa warrants are generally very dense, detailed documents. 50, 60 pages long, and they have to be signed off on by multiple law enforcement officials and approved by a fisa court. so if nunes were going to write an explosive memo accusing the fbi of abusing that authority, you'd think he would have at least read the actual fisa application, right? >> did you read the actual fisa applications? >> no, i didn't. >> seth: oh, my god, these two. [ laughter ] "mr. president, i summarized a 60-page document into 4 pages for you." "did you read it?" "i didn't." "well, i'm not going to read this." "sounds good." "what should we do now?"

congressman devin nunes who is best known for his midnight ride to the white house last year to coordinate his defense of president trump, which itself had the appearance of collusion. in fact, house republicans never even questioned president trump or any other key witnesses in their investigation. it's no surprise that the report appears tailored to protect the president from the credible investigation now under way by the special counsel robert mueller. not only do these house republicans say they have found no evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and russia, but most remarkably that. >> contest the findings of the u.s. intelligence committee community saying that russia did not show a preference for candidate trump. in other words, they're saying there was no evidence at all in their so-called these republicans, that there is no evidence that the russians and putin and company wanted trump to win. as for the new reporting, it suggests the president is clearly concerned about the real investigation led by special counsel robert mueller. "the new york times" is reporting that

instead devin nunes with the cooperation of mr. gowdy are investigating the fbi. and counterintuitive. you would think they would be interested in enforcing the rule of law but that's not the case with this white house. >> congressman, how frustrating is it for a member of congress -- forget the committees you're on, forget your specific interest in specific topics that you've just talked about, how frustrating is it for a member of congress to sit there and you know each and everyday the speaker of the house paul ryan allows devin nunes to conduct himself as head of his committee with the way he is conducting himself? >> it is shameful. there's no other word for it because it's not only reflecting on him but i think it reflects on congress as an institution where it is supposed to be our job to be a check and balance on the white house and yet under mr. nunes especially, running over to the white house after classifies briefings, informing the white house what is going on, he has become a cool for the white house but there is a day of reckoning coming. november i

devin nunes is protected by the constitution, the speech and debate clause. wouldn't worry about that. i think michael is right, you know, congressional oversight is important to making sure the intelligence community is doing the right thing. whether that takes place in a partisan way, and hear about members leaking stuff, if it is true, that's troubling, something we need to be focused on as an american public. at the end of the day, russian interference, in our political system, and if we can't get it together and work together in a bipartisan way, we're going to have real problems as a country. >> appreciate it, thank you, both. >>> coming up, millions across the northeast are bracing for a storm, some of them in it at this point. hurricane force winds, the nor'easter has already led to the cancellation of more than a thousand flights. experts warning this has the potential to create chaos across several states. stay with us. your heart doesn't only belong ♪to you. bye grandpa. and if you have heart failure, entrusting your heart to entresto may help. ent

how did devin nunes unrecuse himself?l, actually, he really functionally practically speaking never really did fully recuse himself. he still kept a very heavy hand in terms of refusing, for example, to issue subpoenas, in directing committee staff to do certain things and communicate with certain people. and he was still very active, himself, behind the scenes. so he never really took himself or stepped away from the process. >> let me ask you, you talked about hoping to put this behind you. i mean, what purpose, what credibility does the house intel committee have as a body if when the sitting fbi director wants to come up and brief your committee, devin nunes blocks it, paul ryan has his block, what credibility does your committee have as any sort of bipartisan check on the executive branch if you can't even bring in trump's appointees to issue grave warnings about the gravity of releasing something like the nunes memo? and with all due respect, how do you sort of project any strength or reassurance to the public that

but the reason for that is because the person who headed it up, devin nunes, from the very beginning,k, injected a complete aura of incredibility and lack of trust because of what he did in terms of running to the white house to tell them what he found and, you know, all of the other things that clearly showed that he was trying to do trump's bidding during the whole process. it's what led to his supposedly being out of this investigation, recusing himself, but then putting himself back into it. so i think that this moving forward is going to have the stench of republicans trying to sweep this under the rug, of the head of the committee trying to do trump's bidding, and politically it's going to be very damaging going into the midterm elections, especially when we know that the russians are still trying to do something and still trying to meddle in these elections, and republicans who head both the house and the senate are doing absolutely nothing about it and not taking it seriously at all. months ago who was saying he believed republicans on the committee were getting pressured from

good riddance to devin nunes and this investigation.en an embarrassment. >> ken, i see you laughing over there. >> erica, yeah, i would -- ana absolving the senate of political gansmanship i don't agree with. look at dianne feinstein making her own unilateral decision to release a transcript out of the one of the senate hearings in a completely to say unusual fashion would be to understate things. and you're right. the republicans are the majority in the house. and ana is also right that the head democrat and republican on senate intel are working together better than they did over in the house. but that is not to say you don't have senators playing games with all of this. i mean, look at some of blumenthal's questioning. you have senator feinstein throwing out a transcript completely unsupported even by her own party by which i mean not voted on. and defying their ordinary procedures. so, there's a lot of politics and in a lot of this. i would say there's the least amount of politics in the mueller investigation, but with respect to th

because when this first started, almost from the beginning, devin nunes has been working to undermine investigation. characterize what his role has been. do you think that he scuttled this investigation? was he the one behind this or was it a group effort? >> well, the short history of this is almost one year ago, march 20th, we had the first open hearing of our investigation. that hearing was with james comey. i laid out in my opening statement all of the allegations that needed to be investigated. and i posed the question, could we do this in a bipartisan way? and i pointed out that the national interests really called upon us to do this in a bipartisan way. in that hearing, james comey dropped the bombshell that the trump campaign had been under investigation since july of the election year for possible collusion with russia, for counterintelligence purposes. and the republicans found that hearing, they told me thereafter, was a -- was a -- was a tragedy for them, was a terrible development for them. and i'm sure the white house came down hard on the chairman of our committee, beca
