and then we have jerry nadler's response today. hear jeff probably not enough time for response from the hill, only 11 minutes in since we had the response, but what did president say earlier today about friday? >> well, earlier today, richard, the president proclaimed his innocence pointing to this partisan nunes memo that he declassified as proof. so here's the tweet, the president says this. this memo totally vindicates trump in probe but the russian witch hunt goes on and on. there was no collusion and there was no obstruction, the word now used because after one year of looking endlessly and finding nothing collusion is dead. this is an meamerican disgrace. as mike and pete have both pointed out there's nothing in the memo that totally does vindicate the president. it in fact perhaps inadvertently confirms the fact that the counterintelligence investigation began in july 2016 after then-trump campaign aide george papadopoulos was bragging one night after too many drinks about how he had access to dirt on hillary clinton by a r

we have jerry nadler saying there's not enough information here to point, if you will, a finger at rosenstein right now and we have both sessions and donald trump saying different things. >> i think that representative n nadler's comments today is a reminder that this is a legal process. not something subject to popular opinion. the focus is going to remain on that legal process. when you look at the memo itself and what it was supposed to allege or accuse or whatever it is their intent was, the fact of the matter was it didn't meet the expectation. what this investigation continues to look like, it's always looked like but continues to look like a legitimate fbi counterintelligence/criminal investigation into wrong doing. >> when we talk about the question of sources and methods and that this declassified memo was going to be seen by the public, that was a concern from the intelligence community. i want to read, first of all, or play first of all, that which was said by former acting ci director on the memo and its impact on the intelligence community. then i'll get your reaction. >> if you'

but what jerry nadler is doing is offering a legal analysis to the memo.s is that the just department held this. there is established case law. this is essential to knowing, you know, vetting the sources of these applications would they have had the application voided. he makes the point that christopher steele, his expertise on russia was so strong it would have outweighed any concerns about politics being involved. >> we haven't seen tom of a response to nadler's memo just yet. it's been striking to watch over the weekend and on some of the news shows. among the rank and file, they say that this is a smoking gun, that this proves that there was too much politics involved in the applications. but trey gowdy, he was among those saying, sort of, let's step back here. there's still a trump tower meeting, there's still george papadopoulos , that the mueller investigation would be going on even if the fought for the dossier and this carter page investigation. >> let me ask you something about devin nunes said on friday. this is how he talked about the next ste

we are covering that and more this hour with our guests, including congressman jerry in addition nadler and our correspondents and specialists are also standing by. first, let's get more on the breaking news. the major developments in special counsel robert mueller's investigation, indictments against 13 russians accused of  waging information warfare against the united states. we have cnn justice correspondent evan perez here for us with the latest. evan, what are you learning? >> this was information warfare, as you said. it was intended to exploit political divisions in the united states. ultimately to elect donald trump and to hurt the candidacy of hillary clinton. it was called operation lockout. it was apparently named for a neighborhood in st. petersburg, russia. this is where the internet research agency, a company based there in st. petersburg was doing its job. essentially people were showing up to work, posing as americans, using fake accounts on social media, fake bank accounts all to sow divisions in this country. evgeni pregoshin is known as putin's chef because he owns a

democratic congressman jerry nadler called russian meddling a new pearl harbor a saw that when thrown around all week senators john mccain jeanne shaheen all called it an act of war it's absolutely ridiculous how much just everyone is crying it's war it's more seriously right a couple a meme some facebook ads war no we've reached that level we're very delicate a person not hear anything bad about certain people and it has to be only. bad certains bad press but only when approved by c.n.n. and sometimes there are some but i accept a bill acceptable vagas so this is the big one of things that are going great while usually a voice of reason. so obviously needs some kind of stooge according to him or not he said if russian election meddling is on par with pearl harbor and nine eleven attacks then should the us response be on par with its response to those attacks by the way that involved two nuclear bombs you know and if you want to know what that whole like getting back at people and like what we should be doing to get back to russia go to her russia run nagasaki and talk to a few people

with me is congressman jerry nadler, a ranking member of the house judiciary committee your reaction to the news today. >> my reaction to the news is this is absolute proof of what we knew all along and what the president has denied, namely that we were attacked. this is a very serious attack against the united states by a hostile foreign power, an attack against our election process. our entire governing process. that we know that the attack is continuing. and that our intelligence agencies tell us that it's going to certainly continue through the next election. and the president and the republicans in the house for that matter refuse, refuse to do anything about protecting us from an attack. imagine if fdr are denied that the japanese attacked us at pearl harbor and didn't react. that's the equivalent. >> it's a bit of a different thing. >> they didn't kill anyone. >> they're destroying our country. >> do you really think it's on par? >> not in the amount of violence but in the seriousness, it is very much on par. this country exists to have a democratic system with a small d. that

let's get to more of this, joining us, the top democrat, jerry nadler of new york. it's a pressure. >> thank you. >> how concerning is it that the white house allowed the staff secretary rob porter to continue in this position, a sensitive position working with the president for more than a year despite allegations of abuse from two ex-wives, allegations that potentially could have opened them up it blackmail. >> very concerning for the reason you said, potentially could have opened him up to blackmail, and he has been working all the months without a security clearance, but this just reminds us that we have the same problem as jared kushner working in the white house without a security clearance. >> they have temporary security clearances, but not full permitted security clearances. >> without being properly vetted, without the information you need for full security clearance. now, maybe if it is necessary and key to the president, that works for a week or two, but not a year. >> why do you think it continued as long as it did? >> because i think this white house d

jerry nadler isn't just a congressman from new york.three, actually, on on capitol hill that's investigating the entire russian meddling thing. now this indictment pointing out that there was no collusion. that his administration and no american for that matter participated knowingly in this. and, yet, he is not only acknowledging the facts laid out in the 13 indictments, but he is playing partisan politics going to an outrageous comparison of hyperbole. rachel: is he signaling look, if you elect a democrat majority house, i'm going to initiate impeachment hearings on this president. that's what i think is he doing right there. todd: look at the language that he used. imagine if fdr denied that japanese attacked us at pearl harbor. the pearl harbor reference is insulting to all the brave men and women. let's take a step back. what did we just say three days ago with the president's tweet, i acknowledge the meddling. like the mainstream media and out democrats don't make that connection. president trump understands there was meddling. an

a six-page memo written by congressman jerry nadler, the ranking member of the judiciary committee, circulating today to house democrats. we should make clear that's not the classified democratic memo but the most detailed response yet to the nunes' memo. what this document says there's no credible basis to remove rod rosenstein. it also accuses the republicans of being part and parcel of the president's effort to obstruct justice. >> david wright for us tonight. david, thank you. >>> george stephanopoulos will have much more on the memo released tomorrow on "this week." with representatives adam schiff. >>> next, a new arrest tied to the las vegas massacre. douglas haig facing charges involving armor-piercing ammunition that he alleged manufactured and sold to stephen paddock. he admitted to selling more than 700 rounds in the weeks before paddock killed 58 people. from his suite. abc's adrienne bankert how police tied him to paddock and what he said about the shooter. >> i'm the guy who sold ammunition to paddock. >> tonight, the man who admitted to selling bullets to stephen paddock, is unde

here's congressman jerry nadler on msnbc last night. >> the president, as far as i can tell, is breaking the law by not imposing the sanctions. the fact is we should impose very heavy sanctions. we should make sure that the russians are hurt in some very serious economic way so that they don't keep doing this. they have all this attempt to depress the black vote. to get people to waste their votes, 7/8. it had an effect. how much of an effect, i don't know. no one knows. whether it affected -- whether it turned the election is unknowable. >> president trump leaves the mueller investigation behind in washington this weekend, for a visit to his florida home, and facing renewed questions about the gun debate in the wake of this week's mass shooting, which happened some 40 miles from mar-a-lago. here's the president's reaction after meeting with the medical staff and victims at the hospital where they're being treated. >> thank you very much. >> do our gun laws need to be changed, mr. president? >> the fbi is under scrutiny for failing to act on a tip about nikolas cruz, the shooter in wedne

jerry nadler released some of his criticisms of the republican memo.ot a shred of evidence that the steele memo was false. he has it totally backwards. it's not up to somebody to prove the steele men he is false. it's up to the fbi to prove that it's true. the onus is on the fbi to judge the sources that fed mr. steele, and they didn't do that. >> if you read the dossier and that which has been published it's incredibly suspicious on its face it's based on no direct evidence. multiple hearsay, speculation, innuendo. it's the kind of thing any trained fbi agent would say we have to examine this and determine whether there is any validity to it. under the law, that's the first duty of an fbi agent before opening an investigation. second duty is to determine if it can be factually proven, is there a crime. in this particular case, they had neither. dave require was up to the fbi to check steele sources. they did not do that. andrew mccarthy of the of "the national review" wrote today, this is the outrageous thing about the steele dossier saga. we don't kn

steve: jerry nadler. >> jerry nadler comparing it to pearl harbor and now to 9/11.al foe. get it out of the way. no one should be apologizing to russia no. one on this set is. comparing a set of facebook ads designed to change people's minds in election. everybody is acknowledge didn't do so effectively, comparing that to the buildings that got knocked down just miles from here is beyond disgraceful. what's sad can you expect this kind of literally insane rhetoric to ratchet up, this is what democrats are pandering too, a base absolutely unsaysed with a farcical hoax story. there is no facts to back it up so hyperbole is all they have. brian: do you realize if we could take a step back and mueller probe backs up the russian dream was to create this derision. they went inside and found out what the issues are divide out. divide us for generations. fine. they jump on those. as soon as we can take a step back and take a deep breath we will realize that the dossier seems to be a set up to lure hillary clinton in. and these facebook ads were set up to lure people who are

joining us, member of the house judiciary committee, jerry nadler of new york.lso, white house correspondent for bloomberg news, shannon pettypiece. good to have you on board as well. congressman, we'll start with you. we want to first talk about the irs shoe of the day which is gun legislati legislation. did anything move you on these issues and do you think republicans will be moved? >> watching these young people talk and watching that young fellow talk about his anguish, of course that's moving. you'd have to be a stone not to be moved by that. do i think the president or republicans were moved? i don't know. we'll find out. actions speak louder than words. we know what to do to decrease gun violence. you look at the statistics, the number of people killed by guns, the united states 33,000 a year and the only real variable is the easy availability of guns in this country. australia had a school shooting a number of years ago, they banned assault weapons, they did a number of other things and they haven't had it since. we know what to do. will we do it? i hav

i would say, there is one democrat making this point, susan glasser interviewed jerry nadler.was head of the judiciary committee. it would be up to him, and he says "my view of impeachment is to be very careful that when tom stier saying i will only give you money if you pledge the you will vote for impeachment, that nadler says it's very premature. the elders of the democratic party are trying to tap the brakes on this. they realize it's not the path to victory. you can't impeach someone because you don't like his twitter account. >> juan: kimberly, to finish up on the dianne feinstein point. she got 37% of support from the democrats in california this weekend. 57%, just below the 60% threshold that would have won him the endorsement went to kevin delong, the senate leader. the key issue that differentiates the two, is daily on's support for immigration. >> kimberly: i know her well. she has been a tireless public advocate. i find her to be one of the more reasonable democrats which is probably why they are not supporting her. she is good about the military, national security

they said jerry nadler gave us a taste of what's in it.uggesting that nothing that the republicans have said has discredited the trump dossier. we learned from fox news that one of the contributors was sit blumenthal, the dirtiest in the -- >> i didn't think that was the -- that was a rumor. >> david: fox news has done due diligence in suggesting this may have happened. nobody is denying it as far as i can tell. the bottom line, if this dossier had as much junk in it as it would emanate from sid blumenthal, the one who called monica lewinsky a predatory monst monster, leading the attack against women going against bill clint clinton, this is what he is about. if the democrats are standing by that let them have it. >> jessica: i already voiced my initial concern. i'm not sure about the confirmation about that. well, either way, we know that there are issues surrounding the dossier to get it. adam schiff is on record saying they only used portions that relate to carter page to turn over to fisa court judges, which we know carter page was und

according to the top democrat on the house judiciary committee, congressman jerry nadler the memo is an attempt to obstruct the russia probe. the u.s. president, donald trump, who approved making that memo public on friday, has a different view. he says that it, quote, totally vindicates him. but, here's the thing, many of his republican colleagues see it differently. as our boris sanchez reports. >> reporter: what we've heard coming from administration officials over the past week regarding the declassification of the nunes memo is that this is strictly about transparency and does not reflect on the substance behind the russia investigation. in fact, here's house speaker paul ryan, reiterating what we've heard from many congressional republicans, as well as officials in the white house. >> this memo is not indictment of the fbi, of the department of justice, it does not impugn the mueller investigation or the deputy attorney general. >> despite that, in a tweet from president trump on saturday, he contradicts what many of those around him have been saying, implying that the nunes me

jerry nadler, you can see him saying what his major concern was. he's not allowed to say what's in it. ron, his biggest concern insofar as he can say it, this might be used as an excuse to fire rod rosenstein which would be a major development in the russia investigation. he is the justice department official overseeing the whole thing. >> right. of course, if he was replaced by someone who is more, quote, a trump loyalist, all sorts of ways in which that can i'm pring on the investigation. including there is no guarantee as many legal scholars have been pointing out that any report the special counsel produces would be released to the general public. that would be the call of the justice department overseeing them. you have the possibility of whatever is found not being shared with the public. i think where the rubber meets the road here politically is with the house because the question has been from the start, would there be any restraint, any limits on the president's willingness to delegitimize these institutions that he views as a threat to h

now, again, just this hour this is coming in from new york congressman jerry nadler, this exclusive i'mking about, top democrat on the house judiciary committee, it is the democrats most detailed

. >> joining us now democratic jerry nadler from new york, also with us tim winer, award winning author. congressman nadler, your reaction to the committee's vote tonight to release the democratic memo? >> i'm glad they did. i think they were forced to do it by public reaction and the fact that the republican nunes memo has been subject to such ridicule and reputation and the fact that people like trey gowdy were knowing the republicans didn't do what they said it would do. i hope the president will allow it to see the light of day. >> let's listen to devin nunes this morning on fox and friends talking about this memo. >> do you have five more memos? >> yes, let me get to that. phase one of our investigation was getting to -- getting at the fisa abuse. what we're looking at now is the state department and irregularities there. phase two we will follow the facts where they lead. when we get enough facts we'll figure out a way to let the american people know. >> tim, the memos will keep coming. >> if devin nunes is determined to go down in history as a mini-joe mccarthy they'll keep comin

let's get right to congressman jerry nadler, his rebuttal focuses on four key points and doesn't show the government lacked evidence aside from the dossier from the christopher steel -- from christopher steel, that steel may not have known who was even funding his work on the dossier, that the gop memo provides no credible basis for moving rod rosenstein and finally it shows republicans are now part of an organized effort to obstruct mueller's probe. so if you look at all of these points, is the republican memo just wrong on the law? >> so, the republican memo produced by nunes is basically the republicans who are so pro trump that they want to make political theater and they want to inject that into the law and want to make it the law but alex, that's not the law. there's an actual legal standard that would have to be met to void out this fisa warrant and order that was issued by the court. they don't meet that legal standard. it is legally irresponsible for nunes to say that. >> to that point, congressman nadler wrote a well established body of law, it says the fisaxts warrant could

it's also one reason i introduced legislation today with ranking member jerry nadler and as well as ranking member cummings of oversight. it would require the white house to provide every three months information on who has security clearances and who's on interim security clearances and if it's over a year they have to explain why. >> what would you expect to, for instance, get information about when it comes to senior white house officials like jared kushner who you mentioned who is working on middle east peace and other important national security issues? >> jared kushner is a unique issue. he is a very important perpendiculperson, right? he's the son-in-law of the president, if he can't get a security clearance by now if after a year, that points to red flag. it's not that they lack resources, it's that they see something in jared's background that makes him susceptible to blackmail or can't be trusted. >> you think it means he's not going to get the clearance or permanent clearance because he should be high priority? >> actually he should have had a permanent clearance last year. there

joining us now is jerry nadler, ranking democrat on the judiciary committee.ead the memo and the underlying intelligence behind it. you are the perfect guest. thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> we will get to the underlying information in a second. you just september a letter to your chairman. you're calling for an emergency meeting with the fbi director chris wray. why? what are you hoping to get out of him? >> well, we have called for wray to come before the committee and hearings. well, he had a rather extraordinary statement. i read the underlying documents. i read the memo. and i said last week the memo was grossly misleading based on the underlying documents. one expects, i'm not surprised the fbi comes out and says this is dangerous, declassifying this information is dangerous and endangers national security. but what is shopping is the fbi chief would come out and say the memo is deeply misleading. >> and you agree? >> i agree. but for the fbi to say that shows how grossly misleading and dangerous they regard it. >> because you've read the unde

. >> the ranking member jerry nadler suggested that house republicans are trying to obstruct the workecial counsel, obstruct the work of an investigation. obstruction of justice would be a crime. do you think republicans are committing a crime? >> well, i don't think the memo is actually saying that. it definitely says the republicans are complicit. and to me all the drama that they produced around this memo i think absolutely demonstrates that. i don't think that there is much to the memo. they said it would be some big huge document. why did they go to this effort? when the president tweets that the day the memo comes out, what more do you need? i think the president was crystal clear and especially chairman nunes is doing his bidding. >> let me read you something the president just said. it's interesting and more on this point that you were just talking about. he said little adam schiff, and talking about the ranking member of the house intelligence committee. he is one of the biggest liars and leakers in washington right up there with comey, warner, brennan and clapper. adam leave

we also heard from jerry nadler, the ranking member of the house judiciary committee where he eviscerated or further eviscerated the nunes memo. i think trey gowdy who is an attorney analyzed what was there and tried to be honest about it. rather than to spin it. i think when you do that there is no there there. this effort was a dud. >> kim, you talked about the application for fisa. can you talk about the level of information that has to be provided to a judge in order to get a warrant? the republicans seem to be alleging in the memo because it's very limited, this memo, that this steele dossier was the reason for the fisa warrant and application. >> we understand from the nunes memo that george papadopolous in june or july of 2016 kicked off the investigation. it's created by congress after watergate in order to provide sufficient oversight of the investigative process. we don't know what's in the application for the warrant. it had a tremendous amount of information besides the dossier. there was probably data relating to information with respect to contacts with a number of people. i

you've got jerry nadler, a westside new york liberal progressive who is going to be chairman of the houseudiciary committee. he's a constitutional lawyer. he knows what he's talking about. it does seem to me the system is ripe for action if this special counsel comes through with basically a charge that this guy broke the law. >> right, chairman nadler is i think a consummate professional, as well. he's not going to seek an impeachment of the president because he didn't like him or something like that. he'll do it based on the constitutional standard, a high crime or misdemeanor. you're absolutely right. if mueller finds a crime has been committed like obstruction of justice, of course it has to trigger impeachment proceedings. that is after all, what our founding principle is, the rule of law. >> thank you. great to have an expert on like you. please come back again. up next, the roundtable is here with a look at winners and losers of the latest negotiation in washington. will either side pay a political price for failing to deliver a deal for the dreamers? you're watching "hardball." us

let's discuss with congressman jerry nadler of new york. congressman, good to see you.ave two what are you going to do about dot dot dot questions. the first one is this, you have oversight over this. what can congress do to make sure that the people working around the highest seat of power in our democracy have the right backgrounds to have clearance? >> there are a number of issues that we asked the chairman bob goodlatte on. we should certainly hold hearings on all these characters who have -- who can't get security clearance. remember, it's just not the jared kushner hanging out for a year with no permanent security clearance because the fbi won't give it to him and porter and also michael flynn national security adviser who couldn't get the security clearance when he was an unregistered foreign agent and others. this is a real threat to national security. >> you don't think it's just bureaucracy, the white house pushback is, it's backlog and bureaucracy, unusual diverse backgrounds and financial portfolios. >> i cannot believe that the president's son-in-law would

clint, jerry nadler, democratic congressman put out rebuttal points on this memo. the nunes memo doesn't provide a single sled of evidence. it shows that house republicans are now part and parcel of an organized effort to obstruct the special counsel's investigation. if the obstruction is now coming from the house of representatives, then how does the fbi continue to conduct this investigation in a way that will be credible, as jennifer just said, 37% of the country is not going to believe anything they said. does this end up hurting the work of the fbi? >> absolutely. if you're an fbi agent or an investigator across the board, imagine running a public corruption case on a title 3 application or a fisa against a foreign intelligence target touching any politician right now. it's a disaster. you would never know something you put forth in one of your applications isn't now or years from now pulled out and used by a politician for a political gain to tar you, destroy the institution or just for simple political gain. i think the biggest thing we'll see over time, the

host: the congressman from new york, jerry nadler. tricia, brooklyn, and educator.hat should be done for school securityaller: upgrade and put scanners in these schools, and check these children's book bags for weapons. so are you, as an educator, practicing these types of situations? to you talk to the children about them? toler: what i do is i speak the inspectors of the education department, the commissioners on education. the superintendents on education , i tell them to upgrade security, put some scanners in e and check these children's book bags. they think it is bad because they are promoting jailism. this is necessary to do. we saw what happened in florida, over in chicago, everywhere. to prevent it, you have to check these children's book bags and put scanners and make it like a state office building when the children enter the school. it has to be like state office buildings, we have to develop police states. host: when nikolas cruz was in school, one of his math teachers was told by school officials not to let him come into your classroom with a backpack.

let's bring in jerry nadler from new york. you rebut it had nunes memo on four points.s to demonstrate the government lacked enough evidence to attain a fisa warrant. >> well, clearly all the nunes memo says is that part of the application for the warrant on page was the steele dossier. it doesn't -- and the steel dossier is tainted it says because of political sponsorship of the funding for it. but it doesn't show, number one, that the steele -- the dossier was a substantial or major part of the support for that. we know there was plenty of other support for that warrant. it doesn't say what that was or that it was insignificant. it doesn't show the steele dossier was a significant part or major part of the -- >> how are we going to know that? how are we going to know all the information we need to know when the fisa process itself is so secretive for good reason? >> well, number one, we should put in the perspective. this question of that particular warrant is really irrelevant to the larger question. remember they have three subsequent warrant renewals, to get a warr

democratic congressman jerry nadler called russian meddling a new pearl harbor a saw that when thrown around all week senator john mccain jeanne shaheen all called it an act of war it's absolutely ridiculous how much just everyone is crying it's war it's war seriously right a couple a meme some facebook ads war hero we've reached that level we're very delicate a person not hear anything bad about certain people and it has to be only bad certain bad press but only when approved by c.n.n. and sometimes there are some but i accept a bill but acceptable of advice is the big one of things that are going great i'm usually a voice of reason. so obviously he's some kind of stooge according to him or not he said if russian election meddling is on par with pearl harbor and nine eleven attacks then should the u.s. response be on par with its response to those attacks by the way that involved two nuclear bombs you know and if you want to know what that whole i get back at people and like what we should be doing to get back to russia go to whole russia and nagasaki and talk to a few people who wer
