kramer told the court he was singled out by the author, former british -- british spy and to lay the the gps. i think they felt a senior republican was better to be the recipient of this rather than democrats because if it were a democrats, the deal was that it would have been dismissed as a political attack. the fbi former counterintelligence chief bill priestap filed with the course with fbi dossier for 33 pages for mccain december 2016. the fbi already receiving the memos from other sources. he also come from president obama on dossier by senior intelligence officials including then the ni james clapper ten days before inauguration and the same time buzzfeed published online, shannon. catherine herridge, thank you very much. does that doj have to turn over information senator graham has requested? let's talk about it with the new podcast terry littman and law professor at john, welcome to you both. >> thank you shannon. >> shannon: to read a broader quote, the committee deeply concerned with discussions and whether indicate that two with the highest ranking law enforcement officia
