devin nunez is upset about this.usive, abusing the fisa court to spy on carter page. your reaction to this story? >> i certainly understand why mr. nunes and mr. meadows are so concerned because you're right about the position mr. kris took. he took it vocally and more broadly, it raises a question of whether or not the fisa court is tone deaf? you know, why would they possibly appoint someone this type of record to look into these issues? it does not make any sense to me at all. liz: devin nunes is saying like the fisa court wants to abolish itself. sam, great to see you. come back soon. liz: thank you very much for having me. same here. we love having you on. next we'll ask texas attorney general ken paxton on the breaking news, house judiciary democrats, now want to probe the trump administration's remain in mexico policy for central americans seeking asylum. remember canada and europe have the same type of policies that debate coming up. it'll ruin your house. so get allstate and be better protected from mayhem,

he purposely went out and suggested that devin nunez was not correct with his analysis, just like helly going out right now, spinning a narrative as it relates to ukrainian aid being held up for some nefarious purpose. it just didn't happen. maria: it is all connected, trey gowdy? >> yeah. four difficult times the united states government went and asked permission to surveil a presidential candidate. at least two of them they lacked the lowest level of evidence needed, the lowest level of evidence needed. this is not the search of some meth lab at a trailer park. it is surveilling a presidential candidate and the fbi and doj struck out at least two out of four times and maybe all four. schiff, comey, mccabe, "the washington post," "new york times," "politico." they were all wrong. those crazy house republicans turned out to be right after all. maria: that is not what you heard from adam schiff in the trial. do you believe the president bill be acquitted very quickly, mark meadows? >> he will be acquitted. we need to get this over with quickly so it doesn't linger into the november el

the same time the new texts show a deeper involvement of devin nunez and his top aide to apparently dig up dirt that the president had been seeking, that the republicans had been seeking on capitol hill against joe biden and to look into this theory, conspiracy theory of sorts that it was ukraine that interfered in the 2016 elections. something that the president himself has pushed to undercut the findings of the u.s. intelligence community that it was russia that interfered to help president trump. but nunez's aide is in frequent kmurkz according to text messages, with lev parnas about trying to set up meetings with various ukrainian officials in an apparent effort to get dirt. now at the same time parnas provided more photographs including photographs of him with president trump and photographs of him with rudy giuliani. and this comes all at the same time as president trump has distanced himself from lev parnas, says he barely knew the guy. saying he was taking pictures with all of these individuals, it's not surprising he took pictures with lev parnas. parnas saying here he's got lo

devin nunez is here with exclusive news. he will break news on the ukraine whistle-blower

they put out a story that congressman devin nunes met with victor shogun in vienna and 2018, making it a horrible thing that devon nunezlev parnas put out that story, lev parnas once again lied. devin nunes was not in vienna at that time, his passport demonstrates that. >> laura: we covered that. >> let me finish, i have to enter it my way. the second part of it is that i interviewed under oath, mr. shogun is prepared to show he hadn't been in vienna for eight years, never talked to devin nunes and that lev parnas lied about him. how many times do i have to prove a man is a liar before he isn't featured any longer as the main witness for all you people in the press? the man is a demonstrated liar. >> laura: so >> i cannot go through every single one of the things he has said, i can assure you as those lies i just demonstrated, he didn't just lie he lied stupidly. >> laura: what is his motivation? >> a stupid lie is when your partner can contradict you. a stupid lie is when there is a tape recording that can contradict you. a stupid lie is when there is a passport that can contradict you. i can't possibly go through all

nunez. they never mention him. isn't that ironic? devinunes, republican representative from that neck of the woods, who has had dealings with lev parnas. people who know lev parnas pronounce his name part us are pretty much everybody else says parnas. if you go back and listen to devin nunes, he said parana spirit he knows him really well. but let's not talk about that if we are from stockton, california paired also, you are an attorney from stockton that is interesting. what are you supposed to do when you have this coming out every single day, coming out drip by drip. the president has been guilty of so much more than this small little query about what everybody wants to know down to a phone call. it was a personal investigation done by a personal attorney to achieve a personal benefit. if he was not seeking a personal benefit, why did he utilize his personal attorney to carry it out, whose sole purpose in life is to look after his personal client, not the president of the united states? if it was to the benefit of the united states, he

devin nunes, the freedom caucus could not have been more right. let's compare schiff's life field 2018 memo to what the ig michael horowitz uncovered which confirmed and vindicated every thing devon nunez, the freedom caucus we have been telling you on the show. for example, fbi, doj did not abuse the fisa process, or subverts this vital tool to spy on the trump campaign. horowitz found the exact opposite, we've identified at least 17 significant errors or omissions in the carter page fisa application and many additional errors in the woods procedures. liar. and it gets even more embarrassing for at the congenital liar schiff, they actually wrote that the doj made only narrow use of information from steele's sources about his specific activities in 2017. they didn't rely on salacious allegations, again, the exact opposite is true. from howard's report, and i quote, we concluded the crossfire hurricane teams were steele's election reporting on 2016 played a central and essential role in the decision by the fbi to support the request for steele fisa's - schf also wrote the court approved surveillance of page allowed fbi to collect valuable intelligence and as horowitz lays out on page 47

devin nunes? >> mr. chairman, i ask unanimous consent to putto in the record the "daily beast" story. nunes, derek harvey participated in the meetings arranged to help nunes' investigative work. >> nunezd at the time, parnas? doesn't ring a bell. then did an about face this week just as parnas threw him under the bus, but still made it sound limited. >> you know now that he had called my cell phone and i didn't know his name, i didn't remember the name. >> the big example of it is take a look today at congressman nunes' interview on fox. he all of a sudden have an epiphany and remembers our phone call exactly. now he remembers speaking to me about nothing. but he remembers exactly. >> it was just a phone call, right? is that that big a deal? it wasn't just a phone call. we now have some of the conversation between nunes' top aide and parnas. what about? setting up meetings, some of which the aide attended. with whom? ukrainian officials and guess who else would be involved? rudy giuliani, clearly things that nunes wouldn't know anything about or forget, right? what does former republican congressman sean duffy think of this? now, my sarcasm is clear because, sean, come on. i know you
