let's turn to what your committee, the house intelligence committee is working on. day, your committee had a chance to focus in on the russia investigation and you made with the facebook ceo, sheryl sandberg. in light of the facebook sale of political ads to russian troll farms, as they're called, what questions did you raise with her? >> well, we wanted to know when facebook discovered the russian use of the platform. initially, they had thought there wasn't such activity. now, obviously, there is. but we also want to know more than the advertising. there was a lot of organic content on the platform that went well beyond the advertising. so at this point, we only know that one universe of activity, but there was, i think, a lot more engagement by the russians just on that one platform. we also want to know what kind of cooperation they're getting from the intelligence community, how we can have a better flow of information so when we find foreign nation state actors misusing their platform, there's a way to let them know. and we also talked about our desire to show

over the weekend, top democrat on house intelligence committee put a warning in the washington post warningere, quote, growing calls from the white house and outside parties to halt the congressional investigations. that follows another member of the committee who has now call on house speaker paul ryan to step in and put an end to republican efforts to slow down and shut down committee investigations, quote, paul ryan is the only person who can intervene. if he's not willing to, it's just going to continue, and the committee's time report will have an asterisk on it. joining us now, conman, thank you for being here. >> thanks for having me back. >> representing a nice place in california, where my parents live, and where i grew up. let me ask you about why you issued similar warnings, essentially, to me mind, signaling that there's pressures on investigations your committee's doing that might be dangerous? >> yes. russia infected the election this year, but we don't fully know how affected we are. the best antedote is unity. unity in the investigation, complete investigation, setting terms

partisan tensions are growing on the house intelligence committee with key republicans asserting it's almost time to bring the russia investigation to a close. but the top democrat on the committee, adam schiff, contends that republicans are rushing key witnesses through the panel and they need to continue methodically, even if that means through next year. republicans are pushing back. >> i don't know what adam is talking about. >> reporter: they say the panel has interviewed major witnesses, like the president's son-in-law jared kushner, trump's personal attorney, michael cohen and brad and roger stone. all denied any collusion with the russians. >> as far as i'm concerned, all of the questions have been answered. these people come in for two hours and they are willing to stay for three, four, five hours. so far i can tell you now one bit of evidence has come out so if congress wants to carry this on forever, it's a disservice to the country and to congress. >> reporter: but democrats say more information continues to emerge requiring further scrutiny. like president trump son's mee

and the house intelligence committee announcing page would appear before that committee on november 2nd. what can you tell us about that. carter page is a figure. he has denied any collusion with russia. he took that trip to moscow while he was working for the trump campaign and gave a pro russian speech, and it's pretty clear that the senate intelligence committee after spending five hours with him, had some important questions for him. and there's also been reports that to some questions, he's asserted his fifth amendment rights not to answer. where he fits into all of this remains to be seen. he may not be the figure to write off as some have thought for some time. >> absolutely. michael cohen has been interviewed by investigators this week. he was supposedly grilled by investigators. the significance of that? well, as you know, michael cohen sent the e-mail in november of 2015, essentially saying he was aware that russia wanted to work on this project of trump tower in moscow, you know, and the ivanka spa. and that he -- they and he would try to get them elected president of the uni

house intelligence committee devon nunez using an investigation into a u.s.-russia deal handed out under the obama administration while clinton was secretary of state. cnn's jessica snyder has more from washington. >> reporter: dave and christine, house republicans are now launching a probe into the russian purchase of a uranium mining company approved by the obama administration several years ago when hillary clinton was secretary of state. now it's gaining steam now because of new reports that the russian entity approved for the purchase was simultaneously under investigation by the if ib fib for bribery and racketeering, fact, an executive eventually pled guilty and was sentenced. so that coupled with the fact that then secretary of state hillary clinton was involved in the approval of the deal at the same time the clinton foundation was allegedly accepting donations from business entities with an interest in the uranium deal. well that has made this a rallying point for republicans, amid their call for an all out congressional investigation. here's chairm

i mean, whatever is going on in the house intelligence committee looks like a circus, i reported last week they barely have enough staff to do anything they say what they're doing and who knows what's happening. and indictments will concentrate the mind. >> yeah. absolutely. natasha, i think david makes an important minority here. for a lot of people watching this, russ-gate or collusion story, the collusion is sort of a sexy thing people talk about and the actual components of this investigation have involved a lot more sort of straightforward criminal activity, things like foreign agent registration act violations, things like potential money laundering, potential things that this can be. we shouldn't necessarily look for this to be a conclusion or an indictment that has the word collusion somewhere in it. >> no. not necessarily. and again, mueller's -- his mandate is very broad. >> right. >> whatever hi comes over in the course of the investigation, that's remotely related to russia or anything that might have had -- russian funding, et cetera, mueller will have to investigate and

a lot of this is being driven by the house intelligence committee. >> jeanine: you know what, charlie, to them we certainly owe -- they get kudos. on monday, fusion is supposed to be respond to the subpoena. handing over the names of clients. what to think fusion is going to do? >> absolutely. we owe them a total -- gratitude here. democrats aren't circling the wagons around the clintons. when they cosmos like this, the whole party circles around them. now i have the dnc standing back saying hey, man, we didn't know anything about this. talk to them. you even have former seeing cia director -- and where's hillary? she's been hiding out. she's been so talkative and now she has gotten quiet. >> jeanine: what's interesting is once the law firm, perkins coie, once they waive the privilege, i think it will all start crumbling. byron, thanks to you. what can we look forward to next week? >> this is big. the house intel committee has also subpoenaed the fbi for all of its information into the dossier. you have to remember, christopher steele went to the fbi and they kind of took him under th

house intelligence committee chair devin nunes announced his committee, along with the house oversight and government reform committee, will launch a joint investigation into the 2010 approval of the sale of a canadian uranium mining company to a russian state-owned enterprise. according to recent news reports , the fbi had been gathering evidence that russian nuclear industry officials engaged in bribery, extortion, and money-laundering, among other possible crimes, and the u.s. prior to the deal's approval. rep. nunes: thank you. sorry for the short delay. gowdye waiting for mr. because this involves the house oversight committee. however, he cannot be pulled away from the meeting he is currently in. with me i have mr. king from new york, who chairs our subcommittee on emerging threats, and mr. desantis from florida, who chairs the oversight committee subcommittee on national security. what we are here to announce is an inquiry into russia's involvement in the uranium deal done several years ago. this is just the beginning of this probe. we are not going to jump to any conclusions at

the same people that are declining to speak to the house intelligence committee on the theory that becausey're researchers and writers they have the same protection against having to reveal their sources and methods as journalists do, which would be a very good and legitimate argument if accepted by the committee. >> shepard: interesting. >> but they are cooperating with bob mueller. that i have met with fbi agents. that's the reference and the quote you just read with that we will cooperate with legitimate investigations. >> shepard: that was a slap at nunes. it wasn't at the committee, the chairman himself. >> precisely. for reasons you articulated -- >> shepard: not fully. we didn't have time for that. >> yeah. a lot there. he did publicly recuse himself. now he's jumped back in. >> shepard: can you do that? >> no. >> shepard: you can do whatever you want. >> the republicans control congress. i don't know where this is going to go, but we certainly haven't heard the end of out. the dossier is, you know, over the top. the president has denied it. everybody wants to know where it came fro

, opposition on behind alleged dossier invoked their fifth amendment rights before the house intelligence committeeis week also posted a document suggesting that former director james comey began drafting his statement exonerating hillary clinton in the e-mail probe months before his july 2016 announcement. we are back with dan henninger, kim strassel and bill mcgurn, kim, let's start off with fusion gps, why should we care about this company? >> well, look, paul, we have house investigators and special counsel robert mueller looking into allegation that is the trump campaign colluded with the russians. we need the answer. a lot came from this dossier that fusion gps commissioned with the help of former british spook who was working with russians and we need to understand the extent that russia influenced the dossier and whether or not law enforcement relied on a piece of disinformation to conduct its probe into trump. paul: so it caub, kim, and what we are trying to find out is did this american company, commission this document and therefore promote -- included a lot of russian disinformation and

he's the top democrat on the house intelligence committee. we're going to be getting his live perspective on this in just a moment, but we have been following the story in recent weeks as republicans in congress have tried to make a scandal out of the christopher steele dossier, the dossier of alleged russian dirt. published to great controversy by "buzzfeed" in january. republican senator chuck grassley and republican congressman devin nunes and to a certain extent actually senator la g lindsey graham, they've tried to make it into the real russia scandal that christopher steele created that dossier in the first place. that he was hired by an opposition research firm to dig that stuff up. the attacks on the dossier itself, on christopher steele for having produced it, on fusion gps for having commissioned that dossier, the attacks on the republican side have only increased over time as elements of the dossier have been proven true, and as none of its major assertions have been publicly disproven. it had been previously reported that fusion's

that as of last night's show this guy that worked with peter smith had spoken with the house intelligence committeeday, we learn from tasha bertrand at business insider that before that house intelligence interview, matt tait also got interviewed by robert mueller. so now the good news about that in terms of whether or not we're going to ever get to the bottom of this russia scandal this appears to be a concrete instance of a case where there doesn't seem to be a conflict between the mueller investigation and the investigations being run by congress. in this case, matt tait's interview with the special counsel, robert mueller, didn't preclude him from being with the house intelligence committee. that's god news, in some cases, we have worried about each of these investigations stepping on even other's toes or messing up each other's investigatory flow. so it's good news, apartmently, both sides are proceeding as they wish. the bad news, is that the democrats on that committee that talked to matt tait, that i are screaming bloody murder right now about the investigation getting messed up. and it see
