house intelligence committee should look into? should you be looking into her activity? and has it happened? >> well, she was one of 40 witnesses that the democrats on the house select committee on intelligence wanted to call when the republicans shut the investigation down. she's obviously of great interest. allegedly being part of a years' long effort as a covert agent under the direction of the kremlin to infiltrate u.s. political organizations, including the national rifle association. she's an obvious person to bring forward to talk about these issues. >> obviously, we won't get that opportunity under the preseiden or the present administration in the house. >> thanks for coming in tonight, sir. >> thank you. take care. >> you too. >>> breaking news ahead. details of the new forecast just released for hurricane florence. a category 4 storm with millions of americans in its path. and up next, stormy daniels' lawyer, michael avenatti joins us to talk about the sudden reversals in her case against president trump. r a liver trans, it could cost you your life. it's time to get out of line with upmc. at upmc, living-donor transplants put you first. so you don't die

if you're asking me what the priority is of the democrats on the house select committee on intelligence find out exactly what the russians did, who worked with them, who conspired with them and how to prevent it in the future. i'd like to think we'd learn a lotmore. i'd believe the manafort trial told the nation a lot more about people how manafort and others in the trump financial world were laundering money. i think that is the great unknown. we've barely scratched the surface on how money laundering took place and whether it was in cooperation with the russians. there's plenty of clues. deutsche bank was fined over $600 million for illegally laundering money with the russians. there were the loan bank financing the trump financial world for the last decade. >> congressman, if the democrats do retake the house, do you view any negotiations for pardons or potential pardons that are issued by this president pursuant to russia probe as something to investigate? >> i think that pardons have to be taken by anybody, the american public and the intelligence community, as an attempt to blunt

devin nunes, i think, has really abused his powers and authorities of charnl of the house select committee on intelligencetitution and it needs to make sure it carries out its job objectively and gets to the truth and does what it needs to do to protect the american people. >> you look back to the way dianne feinstein worked on that committee. let's hope that chairman bur and mark warner do the same, but that's the way it's supposed to operate. >> mike rodgers is very good, worked and the two of them demonstrated the house intel committee can carry out its work. sure there will be differences of view and i had a lot of issues with from a policy perspective, intelligence perspective, but i never felt as though they were using intelligence and using the institutions as political footballs. >>> and we've got another revealing interview with john brennan straight ahead after a career of keeping quiet at the cia. he explains why he now feels so compelled to speak out. that part of the conversation is next. that part of the conversation is next it's time for the 'biggest sale of the year' on the new sleep numbe

would encourage my colleagues to do just that, but insofar as it relates to the house permanent select committee on intelligencethere were a lot of loose ends associated with our non-investigation because i think at the end of the day it would be hard to legitimately characterize the exercise we went through for over a year as an investigation per se. for example, we never had the opportunity to interview george papadopolous as most people know. i think the ranking member, congressman adam schiff, has also suggested there's background information associated with financial entanglements with russians and people and agents on behalf of russians that were not pursued. but above and beyond that, i would say, as i have so many times, jim, and bob mueller i trust. can anybody ever cite a single example in his sterling career when he gave up, whether it was fighting as a united states marine in the jungles of vietnam or pursuing organized crime in this country or fulfilling his responsibility as special counsel in this investigation? >> and let's turn to the latest on maria butina. does this screw-up in her case with
