remember the name, james mccord was one of the original watergate burglars, after his conviction, he was a minor figure as it were. he sent a letter to the judge saying he was pressured to do a, b, and c and it eventually led to the resignation of president nixon. in this case, carter page is coming forward with a lawsuit which he has said tonight he's going to definitely pursue, if you think as a number of republicans do, that there is a conspiracy, was a conspiracy of the obama administration to look into this -- >> part of carter page's lawsuit is that he is claiming hate crimes against him saying that the hillary clinton campaign was against him because he was a man. we don't know if he has attorneys or can afford attorneys. >> i grant you all that, i'm saying that once you start that -- >> actually, that's not much of a threat, when i read that statement, he's going to run smack dab into military and state secrets privilege, i've litigated that painfully over the years. it's not like a civil case where you can go into discovery and find out who said what to who in an office. all
