he's now refusing to let the director of the fbi brief his committee about raw fisa intel to help inform them before they vote. can you talk about to us just how plainly corrupted the house intel committee process appears from the outside? >> well, certainly isn't going to build credibility with president trump's critics that it's a party-line vote and a memo written by republicans that the minority doesn't agree with. that's, unfortunately, the state of affairs in congress these days where both parties take the same set of facts then see them through a completely different lens. it makes you wonder, okay, what are these facts, how should we evaluate them? we don't know because we haven't seen the memo yet. but are they presented in a dispassionate and objective fashion or are they presented selectively in a way that's intended to achieve a political goal? is it possible the fbi, in fact, ba acted badly? the inspector general report hinted at in the last 24 hours suggests there may be some issues there that are worth investigating and worth evaluating. the problem is if it becomes a part

and this week and the fbi director and that he went to paul ryan and said don't give devon nunez fisa intel, that he went to the house intel committee, said don't take this vote until i talk to you, all the fbi wanted to do was was to talk to members before he released the memo. if you believe c-span and our friend who said we're going to release it. this speech could have been brilliant, he could have been shakespeare and it doesn't matter one bit. >> gene robinson. >> besides from the beginning of the immigration part, which was very ugly and trumpy, it could have been a normal state of the union speech really. i mean, he went through a lot of areas and policies. i spent a lot time looking at the two men over his shoulders and thinking about them and their role. you know, it was sort of the shadow of donald trump delivering the speech. >> they were like human shields. i couldn't stop looking at them. >> so what was paul ryan thinking? how does he see his next few months? how is he going to react to the mueller investigation when it comes? >> we've seen it. >> right. is this the position h

so he has a history of mishandling fisa intel. rosenstein and wray go up there and ask him not to give this sensitive fisa intelligence to the committee. he's rebuffed by the speaker for reasons that are unknown and inexplicable to me. then chris wray, the fbi director just wants to talk to the committee before they vote to release this information that the doj says is extraordinarily reckless and they say no. so chris wray and rod rosenstein are like the tom cruz character in the firm" where everywhere they look they see haas till enplies from the president to the republicans in congress supposed to have their back. it's stunning like out of a thriller. >> that's a very good point. paul ryan will have a lot to answer for i think for handing over that information to nunes for essentially letting devin nunes destroy the house intelligence committee, the intelligence committees after all, are like bipartisan oasis. >> used to be. >> used to be. that's what they're supposed to be because they handle such sensitive stuff, national sec

expedia know throp is one of the house intel committee members who have read the memo on fisa abuse ande is deeply disturbed. >> i think that we are -- i'll us abraham lincoln's line. we're testing whether this nation or any nation conceived can long endure. if we don't correct our wrongs, if we the people don't have oversight and the people don't get tof oversight with members of congress, that's a problem. keep plugging away. i think that transparency -- how are we ever going to develop trust if we can't be frank with the american people. lou: doesn't sound like now is the time for trust. joining us is a former member and chairman of the house oversight committee, jason chaffetz. you called for republicans to release that memo and i want to get to that. but first i want to get to the shutdown. and start with, do you think nay they're going to hours of mitch mcconnell saying they will try at 10:00 tonight? >> well, i like that they're going to vote. i think it's important that you put people on the record. now that you see people like heidi high camp and joe manchin and others, they're

intensifying showdown tonight between the justice department and the house intel committee over the release of that classified fisa memo. an intel committee member peter king is here to react. plus, as the president's eyes, he is ready to talk with bob mueller under oath. on time from confidant roger stone says speaking with mueller would be a trap for the president. he joins us to explain why. but first, accountability in the special counsel's office and a press that just doesn't care. that's the focus of tonight's angle. as soon as robert mueller was appointed special counsel in the russia investigation, politicians rushed to cover him with a blanket of invincibility. >> have you seen anything in this investigation that would suggest he has a conflict? >> i haven't. i sit on the judiciary committee along with senator , and i have not seen any evidence to suggest that. >> i do not at all believe that mr. mueller has been compromised for his investigation. i think he's beyond reproach. >> i have a lot of admiration and respect for director mueller. >> you've got somebody who, by all accounts, is an independent per

it's time for a republican lawmaker to get a cold like senator feinstein did and leak this house intel fisadoesn't have the thousands of text messages from december 2016 to may 17, 2017. the washington examiner's byron york gave a list of events that took place during that period and results are telling. among the key developments they would have discussed, we presume, the surveillance and resignation of general michael flynn, the dismissal of james comey. the recusal of attorney general jeff sessions in the russia collusion probe. and the final dave those missing text messages robert mueller was appointed special counsel. what co-incidents. joining us to byron york. great to have you with us. what an impressive list that is. we know it could and did add to that list. i can't understand why christopher wray was permitted to suggest with a straight face those had been lost. i can't understand why the u.s. marshals haven't been dispatched to the justice department and fbi to sequester everything and at least take into custody the top people responsible for the operation of those organizations

steve: senator, you just mentioned fisa. inteled the fisa rules and he has not really specified exactly how but nonetheless this is one of the things he is worried about. it is one of the things you're worried about, how our government spies on americans. >> yeah. the fisa program i actually do fav. this is spying on foreigners and in foreign lands. we do this to protect our country. apparently a great deal of value in it, we find out a lot but what also happens millions of americans are caught up in the system accidentally or incidentally. all i ask we don't look at americans information without a warrant american is talking to a terrorist, and they get caught up i have no problem with it. the database has millions and millions of people in it, typing in americans names we shouldn't be able to do that. we shouldn't use it for domestic crime. i think that is a real problem. it is collected without the constitution which is fine for foreigners in foreign lands f you're not using the constitution to collect the data, it shouldn't be

but you have so much experience with this fisa process and this kind of intel.ncerns or no? >> he would be arguing not to release because this memo is classified. with don't know what level it is classified, whether it's secret or top secret, which changes the assessment how much damage can be done by its release. so he has a responsibility to protect that information. what's amazing about the reporting right now is that the president is saying he's going to release this document without having been briefed on it or read it. he should be receiving information not only from the deputy attorney general and the fbi director but his director of national intelligence giving him advice as to what the harm to national security would be if his memo is released at his current format. the justice department is concerned that the memo may be not accurate, that it doesn't reflect the rigor with which they pursued the fisa application. as far as we understand publicly, it makes an allegation they were not truthful or forth coming with the sur say lance court. >> the memo has

ainsley: this as we get closer to learning what's inside that bombshell fisa abuse memo. the house intel this he said the american people need to see that memo. he has been saying this since it first came out and put together by devin nunes and others. he joins us to react. so, first off, mccabe's firing. >> yep. brian: have you seen the memo. you saw chris wray went and saw the memo sunday and mccabe is out on monday. are these events related? >> who knows. i mean, it could be innocent. maybe he just had sick leave, vacation time, whatever, leaving now. it is kind of interesting. the fbi director goes and views the memo the next day. andrew mccabe announces is he leaving. i'm glad he is gone. brian: why. >> this is a guy with his wife jill mccabe run force state senate meets with mcauliff, clinton's biggest supporter when they are investigating clinton the whole clinton investigation. more importantly he meets with terry mcauliff when terry mcauliff is under investigation. this is the fbi. the premier law enforcement agency. you are supposed to be the referee. you are supposed to be imp

minute i heard it, i heard from fbi sources that that is not the case, that a fisa warrant would have been granted with intel that was solely in that initial early draft of the dossier, that that must have been corroborated by -- no one would be protecting the dossier. christopher steele's name has been everywhere. no one would care about protectsing him. but there are other sources and methods that could be compromised if they reveal the corroborating intelligence. >> that's right. now, my sources have told me it's perfectly -- it may well be the case that christopher steele's information was used because he was considered a credible source by the fbi. but we know from other reporting that there was other streams of information. from foreign intelligence agencies. there is a really interesting story on the web right now about how the dutch intelligence agency cooperated and documented some of the russian hacks that are going on. there is a stream of reporting about members of the trump team meeting with foreign officials. that was passed on to the cia and former cia director john brennan has testified that

. >> harris: let's move on to the fisa memo that has gone through the house intel and been voted upon. it goes to the president, he has five working days to review it. talking about the process and where the president is on releasing that memo to the rest of the public. >> absolutely. we received the memo last night, the president will work with his national security team as well as the white house counsel to figure out the best course forward. i don't know that the president has read the memo yet, obviously as you mentioned it takes five days for this memo to become public but it should be noted this is a congressional action. the president doesn't have to sign it to make it declassified, he doesn't have to say a word. in five days because of the vote in congress it becomes public. the only thing the president can do if he reviews it and sees that he needs to stop it from becoming public and the president would never do anything to endanger national security or affect americans lives in that way, put them at risk. but if he does nothing in the next five days it becomes public. if he

ultimately, the six-figure -- sorry, the six-year fisa reauthorization overwhelmingly passed the house 256-164, but not without anger from the top democrat on senate intel mark warner. this is irresponsible, untrue and frankly endangers our national security. fisa is something the president should have known about long before he turned on fox this morning. in a moment sarah huckabee sanders will hold the white house briefing. how is she going to explain this morning's presidential statements? but first senator jeff flake says a bipartisan deal has been reached on daca. nbc's garrett hague is on capitol hill. we also have peter alexander from the white house, whoes reporter for "the washington post" ashley parker and for "the wall street journal." they're both msnbc analysts. what do we know about this daca deal? >> not a lot, katy. the details here are all being closely guarded. we know it will have to do with the dreamers, the daca fix itself and some sort of a wall or infrastructure dealing with family or chain migration and talks about the visa lottery. i talked to john menendez who is part of that same working group with jeff flake. he told me they

detailing fisa surveillance abuses within the fbi and justice department. the house intel committee. fox news maz just acquired a memorandum delivered from the department of justice to the house intel committee. it attacks the very thought that the committee would release that memo to the american public. the letter reads in part, we believe it would be extraordinarily reckless for the committee to discloses such information publicly without giving the department and the fbi the opportunity to review the memorandum. my, my, my. the justice department doesn't want us to read that memo. let's move on if we could, please. harvard law profes fer, a demeanorprofes are, ademocrat w. joining us greg jarrett. thanks for being here. let's start with first the justice department trying to deny the public's right to know. >> well they've lost all credibility having lost integrity and they don't want the public to see their own wrongdoing, which is why they're trying to cover it up. fortunately it's not up to the doj. as long as the intel committee votes in committee to release it, th

so, does the president not understand the fisa surveillance act, or does not listen to his own intel community and national security council and briefings or both? >> i'd say all of the above. obviously we don't really know. he doesn't take that many questions from us. i'd have to bet he doesn't have a deep and intricate understanding of it. >> which many people don't. it's a very complex situation. >> of course many people are not -- >> many people -- and then you have your team that tells you what your stratd angie is, what you're going to do, the president clearly disregarded what the plan was. and let's listen to what adam schiff, congressman adam schiff, a congressman from california said about what the president should be doing in the morning instead of watching fox news. >> if i could make one national security recommendation to the president it would be stop watching judge napolitano on fox. this may be the only time where the country would benefit from a national security point of view if the president of the united states were watching cartoons in the morning instead of som

intel committee. well, we're -- what we're asking for is for the american public to get the facts so that they can form the judgment for themselves. of this fisa abuse. i too applaud the leadership of mr. nunes and the house intel committee for their work to restore faith with the american people. as a former army intelligence officer and j.a.g. officer my sembings i understand the importance of giving our intelligence agencies the critical tools they need to protect our homeland, assist our troops on the front lines, and surveil our enemies. however, it's critical that we strike a balance between national security and civil liberty, to prevent any gross violation of individual liberties under the guise of national security. congress has the responsibility of ensuring an appropriate balance is struck and when it is not, the release of information we feel is in the national interest and of public importance must get out. today congress took an important step in making this possible. americans deserve the truth. to pull the wool over the eyes of the american public insults their intelligence and debases the freedoms and liberties on which our na

"the washington post" is reporting that after clinton related e-mails were found on the laptop of former congressman anthony weiner who is the husband of a top clinton aide, then andrew mccabe appeared not to act for about three weeks when investigators requested to examine those e-mails. should your committee be looking into it? >> i think we let the inspector general do their job and then i think we should investigate

what the congress intel committee is doing with classified info, looking into whether a fisa warrantas approved, how it was approved. what officials were doing it. that's something you expect there to be some division there. if you work with them, it's clearly the white house trying to discredit this investigation or trying to throw a cud yule of them working together. we see now the president is inclined to release it. he's watched i'm told countless hours of tv about this memo. if he worked together with the house intel committee, it could be seen by some, particularly trump critics as a coordinated move to undermine the special counsel's investigation. >> josh dawsey, always great to have you. great reporting as usual. there are a veritable bevy of legal questions to ask about all these developments. when we come back, do the president's lawyers have ground to stand on when they say the special counsel has not met the legal standard. is andy mccabe in trouble by this inspector general report? what more will we learn about the memo? stay with us. treaming network. how long have you
