fresh mention of the memo but afterwards speaking to the media republican leadership defended the idea of its release this memo is not an indictment of the f.b.i. of the department of justice it does not impugn the moeller investigation or the deputy attorney general what it is is the congress's legitimate function of oversight democrats have argued the release of the memo over their own objections are all part of a campaign to undermine the investigation into alleged russian meddling in the presidential election in fact the leading democrat in the house has called on the republican chairman of the intelligence committee devon is to be removed in a letter to speaker paul ryan nancy pelosi says congressman is has abused his position to launch a highly unethical and dangerous cover up campaign for the white house congressman nunez deliberately dishonest actions make him unfit to serve as chairman and he must be removed immediately from this position the leading democrat on the committee says the row doesn't serve the american people the memo is seriously misleading because it omits very material information and has deep factual and accuracies knew this was part of the trump

of the house paul ryan discussing the memo yesterday. listen. >> what this is not is an indictment on our institutions, of our justice system. this memo is not an indictment of the f.b.i., of the department of justice. it does not impugn the mueller investigation or the deputy attorney general. >> jon: for more on this the chief editor for dow jones news wires. let's cut through some of the chatter about this. republicans have been anticipating this, democrats are blasting the release of this memo. what do you think is the central issue here? >> getting lost in all of the politics around this is that there is an issue. there is a question about whether authorization to spy on american citizens was done the right way. that's a very grave responsibility that is given to the f.b.i. when it wants to take a look at issues related to domestic investigations that they are doing. it shouldn't be taken lightly. >> jon: it is not supposed to be easy to spy on americans is what you are saying. >> that's right. there is a specific process. evidence and documents that should be based on the f.b.i.'s own investigations. we're told it is pretty unusual for the f.b.i. to use outside research like this o

obstruction of justice, and it would bring downtown administration. >> reporter: house speaker paul ryan denies it's politically motivated. >> this memo is not indictment of the f.b.i., of the departmentjustice. what it is, is the congress' legitimate function of oversight to make sure that the fisa process is being used correctly. >> reporter: whether the f.b.i. director will go to the mat to prevent the memo's release remains an open question. chris swecker say former assistant director of the bureau. >> i'm not sure that this is that die-in-the-ditch moment for chris wray. i think he would resign if this were something that he really, really felt strongly about. >> reporter: tonight, former f.b.i. director james comey, who was fired by the president, weighed in, tweeting, "american history shows that in the long run, weasels and liars never hold the field so long as good people stand up." that is a reflection of how intense this controversy has now become. jeff. >> glor: jeff pegues, thank you very much. as former gymnastics doctor larry nassar awaits a third sentence in michigan for sexually abusing young patients, there are more indications tonight he could have been stopped. her

f.b.i. informant he'd been working with the f.b.i. he was considered to be an f.b.i. source and that apartment of justice knew that the f.b.i. had and the department of justice in the f.b.i. were well aware of the fact that christopher steele had an agenda against tromp was quite biased they still used to report furthermore we know that the deputy attorney general bruce or his wife was actually hired by fusion g.p.s. the firm that the democrats hired in order to get this information on trump so essentially this document points to the fact there was a great deal of what appears to be collusion between the clinton campaign and the f.b.i. and department of justice two entities that are essentially supposed to be bipartisan enforcers of u.s. law it appears according to this document or at least it's purported in this document that they were working to prevent the election of donald trump it wasn't certain old kalib up this memo would actually be released at all was that you had a lot of people a lot of organizations staking their claim saying that it should not be. yes we heard many calls from many prominent figures for this document to remain classified

f.b.i. says the f.b.i. used improper means to convince a secret court to allow surveillance of a trump a campaign aide it says our findings raise concerns with the legitimacy and legality of certain department of justice and f.b.i. interactions with the foreign intelligence surveillance court and represented troubling breakdown of legal processes established to protect the american people trump expressed strong feelings about the agency's conduct as described in the memo i think you know i think. what's going on in this country i think. whatever. country when you look at that and you see that and so many other things with a. lot of people. much worse. but former f.b.i. director james comey who was fired last year by trump had this to say on twitter. that's it dishonest and misleading memo wrecks of the house intel committee destroyed trust with intelligence community damaged relationship with fees or court . it's unclear what trump plans to do now that the memos there's been speculation he might fire senior justice department officials no matter what it points to rocky relations ahead between the white house and the f.b.i. . and with us in the studio is nicholas castle's a political analyst at the joh

the f.b.i. and justice department of poll itizing the process to favor democrats and they say it was edited, the two sides going back and forth. >> this memo is not an indictment of the f.b.i., of the department of justice. it does not impugn the mueller investigation or the deputy attorney general. what it is is the congress's legitimate function of oversight to make sure that the fisa process is being used correctly. >> this memo is really a spin on not just a set of particular documents, but broader classified information than that. that because of serious and material omissions is inaccurate. >> sandra: chief white house correspondent john roberts is live with the latest where anything could happen. good morning, john. >> good morning. the betting appears to be the white house will transfer the memo to the house intelligence committee. whether they can get it out today may be another question. the president other than being caught in an open mic moment tuesday night after the state of the union where he said 100% he would release the memo he has been fairly quiet on this. when he was leaving for the republican retreat in west virginia he refused to answer que

of bias against president donald trump democrats say it's misleading and intended to discredit the ongoing russia investigation this comes after trouble allowed the release of the memo which accuses the f.b.i. and the department of justice of abusing their power to spy on one of his aides during the twenty sixteen election. donald trump has long had of truck relationship with the f.b.i. . and special counsel robert muller's investigation into the trump campaign's possible collusion with russia has also been a constant thorn in the president's side. donald trump has accused the f.b.i. and the justice department of skewing the russia probe in favor of democrats interests and against those of republicans on twitter he said they were politicizing the investigation. and now a controversial memo is the latest salvo in this conflict drawn up by republicans and released over the objections of the f.b.i. and justice department it alleges antitrust bias at the nation's top law enforcement agencies a committee led by republican lawmaker devon una's voted to release the memo which says the f.b.i. used improper means to spy on trump campaign aide carter page. not surprisingly democrats take another view. the top democrat on the comm
