mr mr. rosenstein could make that assessment. that's not the job of the prosecutor to do that. i don't know how you can charge 13 individuals posting what they did and at the amount of money they did and you can determine that not a mind was changed. that's something that would congress would do or an independent commission and i wrote legislation with elijah cummings and members of congress to have a commission to look at that issue, but more importantly to look forward at what we can do knowing that they have these capabilities, as well as other adversaries to make sure that we're better equipped the next time we go to the poll. neil: you're not convinced the possibility that enough minds were changed, that the wrong person was elected? >> well, over 100 million people viewed russian propaganda in the last election, that's what twitter and google and facebook told our committee. so, again, i think at this point it's immeasurable until we complete our investigation. i don't think we've seen evidence yet that vote tallies were changed and that's what mr. rosenstein was referring to, but we still have issues with security at the ballot box and i think the reform that we could put in place as jay johnson, former homeland security secretary told congress, to devote more federal resources to the states and counties. neil: i understand that and i know we're going long here and i apologize for that. i want to be very clear, are you saying that you still, still harbor doubts about the legitimacy of donald trump as president of the united states? >> no, i believe that the russians sought to change minds and whether minds were changed or influenced is still has not been determined. i don't think there's any evidence that vote tallies were changed, we should understand that. he's the president of the united states and i want president trump and every other candidate who runs 2020 in the election to have a free and fair election and congress is not doing that right now. neil: the broward county sheriff says, the congressman touched on this, 39

mr. comey and mr. rosenstein? why did he ask mr. comey to drop the investigation of mr. flynn? why is the president so angry at attorney general sessions for recusing himself from the investigation? and why did the president need the attorney general to not recuse to, quote, protect him? the evidence of interference with an ongoing investigation is enough reason to investigate. we all remember president nixon's chief transgression was the cover-up, and despite a constant refrain of denials from the president and his campaign and despite these denials from the president's campaign that they didn't have any connection with russia, we know that there were many connections. former national security advisor michael flynn pled guilty to lying to the f.b.i. about his december 22, 2016, conversation with the russian ambassador about relieving u.s. sanctions imposed for russia's interference. campaign foreign advisor george papadopoulos pled guilty to lying to the f.b.i. about his contacts with people connected to the russian government. former campaign manager paul man a fort -- manafo

trump considered was dismissed the deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein and elevating the number three official to oversee mr. mueller. mr. rosenstein has overseen the investigation since march when attorney general jeff sessions recused himself. yesterday speaker paul ryan said he had confidence in rod rosenstein. today the president said, i'll let you figure that out. what do you think this means for rod rosenstein? >> right. i'm not the one to define the comments of the president because it could change six more times by the time we get off the air. but, look. it's not a shock to think that rod is drawing fire from both the left and right. i know the guy pret pretty well. i know he's a pretty professional, objective person. i suspect there are still fair questions to ask, but i think i know the answers when it comes to rod's motivation and confidence. but he can be the most confident squeaky clean guy to ever set foot in washington. that doesn't mean he gets to hold onto his job. >> dana: that's right. shefrbs at the pleasure of the president. either he will decide that the pressure is so much, he would resign, or the

mr. rosenstein, mr. sessions, attorney general sessions and director wray have work to do. and they can't start doing their work to root out the problems if you don't admit first you have a problem and they have been unwilling to do that. julie: all this unfolding with a another showdown brewing on capitol hill. this one over immigration. border security and the use of your tax dollars. congress is up against a fast approaching deadline to pass a spending bill or risk yet another government shutdown. we have fox team coverage for you on all of this tonight. ellison barber has the latest on the funding battle, but we begin with phil keeting who is not far from the president's palm beach resort. he is joining us from florida. hi, phil. >> good evening, julie. the saturday sun has now set on the trump winter white house, also known as the mar-a-lago property on palm beach island. president trump did spend about five hours nearby at the trump international golf club today before returning back to mar-a-lago where he has been for the past four hours along with first lady melania

rosenstein more. something. well there's no question that if mr miller makes any effort at laying out a criminal case against donald trump that mr trump. will either fire him or fire mr rosenstein and somebody else to fire him i believe that i have no doubt that that is the trump pattern of behavior which he makes abnormal unconstitutional conduct as if it were normal but it will be a constitutional crisis if he does that think. to have a military printk. to have a military parade like the autocrats of the world china or russia do military parades that this man is not somebody who looks at our constitution as the supreme law of our country he more like and himself to putin into autocrats i'm not labeling him and i'm not attacking him it is a simple fact that he mentions putin as a great leader who sits in on may day and looks at all the tanks rolling by that's not america he looks at the justice department as a law firm that should be loyal to him that's not america that's a banana republic our justice department is independent of politics in the white house at least it has been until mr trump so i'm very worried about a constit

mr. roden sign -- mr. rosenstein saying moments ago that there is directly no evidence that any trump campaign official new -- knew they were talking with anyone from russia. according to the sentiments, russians were using false identities both in how they paid for their account on social media platforms, and also in their one-on-one meeting as far back as 2014. so you have that happening, and mr. rosenstein also saying at this press conference that this ,s a warning to americans particularly political folks, that not everyone is who they say they are. i don't really know how else to put it. this is like a political frill or -- thriller russian spy novel run amok. julie: just to be clear, there is nothing in this indictment about actual physical meddling with ballots, for example. it seems like it is difficult to unpacked what effect -- clearly, this could have had an effect on the election, right? difficult to empirically prove one way or another what that affect was. kevin: exactly. there is no evidence that is presented in either of these investigations on capitol hill or by the intelligence community that there were any votes that were impacted by this. mr. rosenstein going out of his way to say that at the press conference, when he laid out these cases. that is point number one. point number two becomes how do we answer your question directly? how to you define this and h

mr. rosenstein and he thought that he would be on his side with loyalty but again as indicated these individuals started following their duty and responsibility. so mrsenstein then hired mr. mueller who obviously is going to continue this investigation. this is not -- this is the trump justice department and trump head of the fbi. but they, too, have steadfast with what their responsibilities are and they will follow this to the end. and sometimes as was was nixon, the cover-up can be worse than the crime. no one is talking about the threat to our democracy that the russians put in with an election and another election is coming up in in 2018. it just seems clear from the facts that this president is nervous about this investigation and fortunately my colleagues on the republican side are trying to help this president cover up this investigation. my head is baffled. why in the world they would do that. >> tim, i watched the mark felt movie. one thing i learned from, it wasn't one of the great movies in history. one thing i liked about about it was the integrity of the fbi. when john dean shows up with the acting head of the fbi, the organization mar

those sources said rosenstein replied, of course we're all on your team, mr. president. mr. rosenstein is the highest justice department official in charge of the russia investigation. since attorney general jeff sessions recused himself. now the second report, joe, concerns the fbi agent that president trump and republican in congress accuse of being biased towards the president. according to cnn, that agent, peter strzok. was involved in drafting the letter that would later be then sent by then-fbi director james comey to members of congress on october 28, 2016 that letter stated that the agency had received new information about hillary clinton's emails and was reopening an investigation it had closed in july of 2016, after finding no criminal wrongdoing. cnn adds that strzok sent a text message expressing reservations about comey making a public announcement just days before the election. and those messages provided to congress, shows strzok grappling with the fallout of making the letter public. strzok reportedly supported reopening the clinton investigation once the new

mr. rosenstein and mr. mueller. there's legislation that would protect bob mueller and require a judge to have oversight if there was any attempt to fire him. but, again, we are so mired in attacks on the process and putting the fbi on trial, rather than going after the people who attacked us and who are still here in our democracy. i hope that, again, this has to be a wake-up call. they're still in our systems and our democracy's threatened if we just continue to be -- to see the disunity you have in congress. >> stay with us, congressman. my colleague evan perez wants to weigh in here. >> i think all of this, the context of all of this, also if you think about the fact that the president and his legal team are considering whether or not he should grant an interview to robert mueller and his team who are doing this investigation. i think all of this now has to be weighed with that in mind. because the indictment that's been returned by the district -- by the grand jury here in washington names individuals that are

mr. rosenstein -- would not tell mr. rosenstein he had any regrets. s books had the word higher loyalty. his loyalty is not to the law, the policy, or the rules. he gets to define what that loyalty is. it caused -- the cost hillary clinton the presidency. host: you reference statistics quite a bit. why do you make that case looking at the polls? guest: i looked at three or four different ways. one is the head-to-head contest before the october 20 letter. i also looked at emotions and impressions that changed between right before the october 20 letter and right after. every measurement -- not just the head-to-head polls. the polls did call the election. hillary clinton one by 3 million votes. that was the prediction. i did more than just polls. if i could show you some charts for your viewers, it would visually prove my case. guest when we tal -- host: why don't talk about the net drop we saw. guest: this would be chart number two. the morning of the 28th of -- the, then effort national average of all polls showed are ahead by 5.9%. the morning of octob

mr. rosenstein, mr. sessions, attorney general sessions and director wray have work to do.nd they can't start doing their work to root off the problems if you don't admit first that off problem and they've been unwilling to do that. host: from friday meaning on special report, the, news handle and the chair committee, republican congressman devin nunes. we're asking you whether you trust the f.b.i. and the justice department. the cover story of "national review" has raging bull, a look at senator cory booker. and some of the 2003s on the topic of our question this morning. north of boston saying trump and the russian mob all hate the f.b.i. and there's this tweet from edward. secret courts no good. who has the authority to overhaul the fisa courts? done is joining us from salinas, california, republican line. good morning. caller: hi. yeah, i wanted to say a few things. first is trump is not going after the rank and file of the d.o.j. or the f.b.i. what he's going out is these politically appointed partisans and their hand picked cronies with the hands on the leavers of pow

mr. mueller's investigation is on the underlying charge of conspiracy between the russians and potentially the trump campaign team to influence this election. what was significant about mr. rosenstein's comments is no american was wittingly involved in this. implicitly within that, no one from the trump team. so this indictment to me does not go to the core of mr. mueller's investigation which is, you know, how far up into the white house does this alleged conspiracy go? but it is significant in and of itself and in the way that mr. rosenstein talked about really specific facts about calling this project latkha and reading from e-mails and as a former federal prosecutor what that tells me is mr. mueller has not just documents or e-mails but probably other people who are witnesses and cooperating with him because, truly, the only way to get inside a conspiracy is to have someone in that conspiracy tell you how it's operating. so while there are 13 people charged at this time, my assumption based on my years of experience is that there are one or more other individuals who were probably a part of that conspiracy that have either plead to an indictment that's under seal or just simply cooperating with the mueller investigation to walk them through how that conspiracy operated. >> seth you. my apology to the other seth waxman here in washington wh

succession behind rod rosenstein who is overseeing the special counsel's inquiry into russian interference. mr. trump who has called the investigation a witch hunt has considered firing mrsenstein, all of this brand-new reporting from the new york times by reporter katie ben ert. jon, you describe this as shocking. >> it is shocking because rachel brand is someone with universal credibility on the right and never trumpers, trumpers, old time hands and all of this. she's a legal intellectual. she's a serious lawyer. and the fact that -- >> she's a bad ass. >> that is not something i would say. >> she's wicked, wicked smart. she's fearless. she's got all of that conservative intellectual force. but she's also an in -- an incredibly professional woman and that she is stepping down and that rod rosenstein and jeff sessions are under constant bullying from the president of the united states under the mueller investigation will destabilize people who think that the mueller probe is in danger. >> i would say you were talking about why people don't walk out of the white house. and when friends of mine on the right have said to me, i'm up at -- for possibly up for a job and i wo

mr. president, talk about the memo, mr. president. on the memo, sir. >> mr. president, are you going to release the memo? >> sir, are you upset with rod rosensteins wray? >> shepard: we believe yes, yes and yes. he has -- we believe that yes, he will authorize the release. we just got word of this. john roberts just reported that. it's widely reported that he's upset with rod rosenstein. as for the fbi director who is being mentioned now, christopher wray, there's multiple reports that chris wray may quit if they release this memo. lots of pressure not to do so. democrats are calling it a p.r. stunt, a distraction action. if that was the case, it's working brilliantly. the fbi is against the release of this thing, which was created by staffers in devin nunes' office in part because they say, well, it's both misleading and accurate. president trump that reportedly had not read the memo or seen the memo before he said after the state of the union, 100% will release it is all for making it public. we would see it tomorrow. let's turn to chad day. he works on the investigative team in washington and the lead writer on the memo. how would you describ

mr. steele was terminated by the fbi and not paid because he was deemed unreliable for leaking information to the media, mr. rosenstein still signed on on the renewals of this warrant. david: i'll tell you what else is outrageous. a bunch of anti-trump officials at the fbi and the justice department, we know that now look at their memos and emails and what their spouses were doing. that they used a partisan smear job that was paid for by the democratic committee to get fisa warrants. and adam schiff claims that revelation in the form of a memo was an overhyped political job. to suggest something that significant, if everything in that memo bears out, do you think it's fair to call it overhyped in any way, shape or form? >> i don't know anyone who is comfortable with the notion that if you hire the spouse of the right official at the department of justice, that you can take a political opposition research document and get that into the political bloodstream. bruce ohr's profile included drug intradiscs. that's something that needs explaining. we have to have legislation so thatter in happens again whether you are a republican or democrat. david: fit all bears out, it's totally repugnant to the rule of law. and it's the rule of law that distinguishes the united states from a banana republic. president trump blasting politicized leadership of the fbi and doj as the explosive fisa memo is released. will the deep state be held accountable? we'll take that up with gregg jarrett and jim jordan. the president issuing a new warning to north korea while hitting his presented saysors or failure to deal with the regime. retail. under pressure like never before. and its connected technology that's moving companies forward fast. e-commerce. real time inventory. virtual changing rooms. that's why retailers rely on comcast business to deliver consistent network speed across multiple locations. every corporate office, warehouse and store near or far covered. leaving every competitor, threat and challenge outmaneuvered. comcast business outmaneuver. david: former fbi director james comey couldn't keep his opinions to himself after the release of the house intel memo. he tweeted, that's it? dishonest and misleading memo wrecked the house intel committee, destroyed trust with intelligence community, damaged relationship with fisa court, and exposed classified investigation. >> he needs to tell us when he learned that the democratic part yaint hillary clinton campaign paid for the dossier. he's welcome to come back and share that information. but i think the american people understand the fbi should not go to fisa courts to get warrants based on information provided by the other political party. david: i thought it was a bombshell. drawing from the memo, the political origins of the dossier were known to senior doj officials paid for by the dnc. they might was political but withheld that information from the fisa judge it was misrepresented as real intel. if it's not illegal, it should be. >> two different crimes, one is perjury and another abuse of power. they signed an affidavit, the department of just tan is fbi people, affirming that to the best of their knowledge these documents, the dossier, is authentic and reliable when now we know that they knew it wasn't authentic and reliable. they knew it came from democratic money. they night was likely fabricated and they knew they couldn't get a fisa warrant it would and it was authored by a guy who hated trump. he said he was desperate to stop trump. when they signed that affidavit under penalty of perjury they were lie together judge. the other is abuse of power. you can't abuse your position in government to interfere with somebody's constitutional rights. carter panel was spied on with a fake document. that's an abuse of power. 10 years behind bars upon conviction. david: if there were laws broken, the department of justice cannot investigate itself. gregg: which is why you need a second special counsel. you can't trust the department of justice to investigate and prosecute itself. david: if trite's a flaw in fisa as well as the department of justice. rand paul has been criticizing the fisa courts saying 99% of applications are approved. and saying this is evidence of what little information is necessary to get permission to spy on americans. gregg: this is a prime example how secrecy begets corruption. with it's a star chamber and only a judge is looking eight, one person. he can be deceived and lied to. you can't have public court hearings for something like this. but there need to be safeguards put in place to make sure people like comey and mccabe and peter strzok and rod rosenstein was involved in this and night was fabricated. you have to be able to stop these people in their tracks. david: you see that statue of lady justice blindfolded. justice is suppose to be blind in this country, not intimidated or infiltrated with political desires. clearly that major rule was violated. >> we entrust the department of justice and the fbi to uphold and pen force the law. but when they put a strong hand on the scales of justice and tip it to undermine electoral democracy and subvert justice. they are the villains and it's tragic event for america. david: do you believe the house intel memo will lead to a major cleanup to corrupt leadership and the dov and fbi?

the grand prize trophy ♪i was born to be somebody david: democrats tried to smear the house intel memo. minority lead eshed nancy pelosi said it was quote a bouquet from the president to vladimir putin. house intel chairman devin nunes dismissed their criticisms on special report. >> these are the same democrats who didn't want to start an investigation. they are democrats who wanted to block our subpoenas. i get tired of playing whack a mole over day on this committee with democrats who never wanted to start the investigation in the first place. david: last night byron york told us carter page would be at the center of this memo. how did you know? byron require was just out there. the two big things out of this them oh are, one, the dossier was a central part of the application to wiretap carter page. and the other thing is when andrew mccabe said without a dossier they wouldn't have applied for a wiretap warrant. david: the committee knew the people putting together this application for the fisa warrant knew this was a dnc financed trump dossier it was financed by them and apparently they withheld that information from the fisa judge. i think that was critical. byron: if they did not make that clear to the judge, that would be a huge thing. david: how can we find out whether it was purposely withheld from the judge, which according to gregg jarrett would be a crime. byron: we would need to find outfit was mentioned in even an oblique way in the application. we need to see the application. if it created the momentum to release more things, the andrew mccabe quote that's being disputed. the reference to what he said, that interview need to be released. and the democrats' memo needs to be released. this may if not open the floodgates at least open the floodgates for things we can see. david: the actual criticism of this memo lend support other suspicions that the focusing on carter page, you didn't need the trump dossier for that because he had went in cross-hairs of the fbi for quite some time. his russian connections were considered very important. but the fact that they brought trump dossier in shows you their target was not carter page, their target was donald trump. am i wrong on that? byron: you are right about the dossier. target of the dossier was donald trump. first installment said there was a long relationship between trump and the crippl -- and then going back for years. the dossier made very, very specific accusations. it said that carter phage when he visited moscow was offered millions of dollars in exchange for lifting united states sanctions on russia. it's not quleesh how carter -- it's not clear how carter page would lift sanctions on russia. but so far those allegations, as far as we know, none have been confirmed. david: another party interested in removing the sanctions on russia, not just mrn, but also the fusion gps people who were out to discredit the people who put the sanctions on russia. it points to the fact if there was any collusion at all, fusion gps was paid for by the dnc and the hillary campaign. they were working with people close to putin. if there is any collusion it looks like there was collusion between the democrats and russia than trump and russia. byron: fution was work both sides of the street. we know they were hired by putin-linked the russians to repeal the sanctions. so if you look at the dossier, it quote source starks within source b and source c. one of them is a kremlin official, a former kremlin official, and a businessman connected to the kremlin. you have to wonder if the russians are feeding that information to fusion gps and fuchs is on both sides of this thing. david: clearly they were on the side of putin and the people trying to smear donald trump. in particular the dnc. byron york, we'll be quite busy. i will see more you in the comin

mr. rosenstein was asked by the president last month whether he was "on my team." according to an official. that comes after reports that mr. trump directly asked the fbi director christopher wray how he voted during an oval office meeting in may. falling in line with former fbi director james comey's sworn testimony last year where he said the president needed and expected loyalty. comey was fired thereafter. >>> meantime, senior administration officials tell nbc news the classified and controversial memo compiled by republicans on the house intel committee will likely be released today. it reportedly shows how the fbi and doj abused their authority to eavesdrop on a former trump campaign adviser. that's despite both democrats and the fbi doing their best to stop the release from happening. overnight the leading democrat on house intel adam schiff claims that the committee's republican chairman devin nunes made "material, that is, substantive changes to the memo he sent to the white house. they are changes not approved by the committee." schiff continues, "the white house, therefore, is reviewing a document the committee

congressman before we get to the issue of rosenstein let's first talk about today's revelations the fact that clinton was actually feeding information to mr. steele. mr. steele of course then put that information into the trump dossier and that was then fed to the fbi and led to the fisa warrant. it just keeps getting dirtier and dirtyier. >> it really does. you remember what the nunes memo showed is what bruce ohr was doing with his wife. he knew he had met with christopher steele during the campaign and his wife nellie worked for fusion gps but what that showed was there was a steady pipeline of information going from steele and the people he was getting information from directly to the justice department via bruce ohr and the revelations about the state department are very similar. it's a pipeline between the clinton campaign, members of the obama administration, and the law enforcement agency. that's a huge problem. that is not the way the government is supposed to operate and to dig up dirt and lander it through the government boroughs give me a break. david: well particularly when that was being graded by a political campaign embroiled right in

mr. president? was it a hoax, mr. president? >> join us for tea? >> moments after deputy attorney general rod rosenstein announced charges against foreign agents for attacking our electoral process, the president was in no mood departing for florida. instead he used twitter to incorrectly intimate he had been cleared of any wrongdoing. "russia starred in 2014 long before i announced i would run for president. the results were not impacted. the campaign did nothing wrong, no collusion." 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's what the country's all about. this is an attempt to destroy that. and the president's core, the presidential oath is to preserve, protect and defend the constitution. this president is refusing to do that. >> you heard people ask questions about sanctions, preet bharara, who is the u.s. attorney for the southern district till he was fired by the president along with every other serving u.s. attorney says how about some sanctions now, mr. president? they were passed over his jokz and there has been nothing from them. >> and there was no waiver. no waiver authority. the president as far as i can tell is breaking the law by not imposing sanctions. fact is we should impose very heavy sanctions and make sure that the russians are hurt in some very serious economic way so they don't keep doing this. this is not an unserious matter. this is not tit-for-tat. you don't expel a few diplomats. they tried to destroy our system. >> so you think that the deterrence has been insufficient so far. >> very much insufficient. >> what would it look like for it to be sufficient? >> i don't know. i'm not an expert in cyber security. maybe things should happen in russia. >> you think so? >> do you worry about excalation? >> yes, i do. but they have to be shown this is not priceless. this is not without a price. there has to be a heavy price. someone attempts to destroy our form of government. there has to be a price sufficient to make sure

dishonest and misleading memo wrecked the house intel committee, destroyed trust with intelligence community, damaged relationship with fisa court, and exposed classified investigation. >> he needs to tell us when he learned that the democratic part yaint hillary clinton campaign paid for the dossier. he's welcome to come back and share that information. but i think the american people understand the fbi should not go to fisa courts to get warrants based on information provided by the other political party. david: i thought it was a bombshell. drawing from the memo, the political origins of the dossier were known to senior doj officials paid for by the dnc. they might was political but withheld that information from the fisa judge it was misrepresented as real intel. if it's not illegal, it should be. >> two different crimes, one is perjury and another abuse of power. they signed an affidavit, the department of just tan is fbi people, affirming that to the best of their knowledge these documents, the dossier, is authentic and reliable when now we know that they knew it wasn't authentic and reliable. they knew it came from democratic money. they night was likely fabricated and they knew they couldn't get a fisa warrant it would and it was authored by a guy who hated trump. he said he was desperate to stop trump. when they signed that affidavit under penalty of perjury they were lie together judge. the other is abuse of power. you can't abuse your position in government to interfere with somebody's constitutional rights. carter panel was spied on with a fake document. that's an abuse of power. 10 years behind bars upon conviction. david: if there were laws broken, the department of justice cannot investigate itself. gregg: which is why you need a second special counsel. you can't trust the department of justice to investigate and prosecute itself. david: if trite's a flaw in fisa as well as the department of justice. rand paul has been criticizing the fisa courts saying 99% of applications are approved. and saying this is evidence of what little information is necessary to get permission to spy on americans. gregg: this is a prime example how secrecy begets corruption. with it's a star chamber and only a judge is looking eight, one person. he can be deceived and lied to. you can't have public court hearings for something like this. but there need to be safeguards put in place to make sure people like comey and mccabe and peter strzok and rod rosenstein was involved in this and night was fabricated. you have to be able to stop these people in their tracks. david: you see that statue of lady justice blindfolded. justice is suppose to be blind in this country, not intimidated or infiltrated with political desires. clearly that major rule was violated. >> we entrust the department of justice and the fbi to uphold and pen force the law. but when they put a strong hand on the scales of justice and tip it to undermine electoral democracy and subvert justice. they are the villains and it's tragic event for america. david: do you believe the house intel memo will lead to a major cleanup to corrupt leadership and the dov and fbi?

byron require was just out there. the two big things out of this them oh are, one, the dossier was a central part of the application to wiretap carter page. and the other thing is when andrew mccabe said without a dossier they wouldn't have applied for a wiretap warrant. david: the committee knew the people putting together this application for the fisa warrant knew this was a dnc financed trump dossier it was financed by them and apparently they withheld that information from the fisa judge. i think that was critical. byron: if they did not make that clear to the judge, that would be a huge thing. david: how can we find out whether it was purposely withheld from the judge, which according to gregg jarrett would be a crime. byron: we would need to find outfit was mentioned in even an oblique way in the application. we need to see the application. if it created the momentum to release more things, the andrew mccabe quote that's being disputed. the reference to what he said, that interview need to be released. and the democrats' memo needs to be released. this may if not open the floodgates at least open the floodgates for things we can see. david: the actual criticism of this memo lend support other suspicions that the focusing on carter page, you didn't need the trump dossier for that because he had went in cross-hairs of the fbi for quite some time. his russian connections were considered very important. but the fact that they brought trump dossier in shows you their target was not carter page, their target was donald trump. am i wrong on that? byron: you are right about the dossier. target of the dossier was donald trump. first installment said there was a long relationship between trump and the crippl -- and then going back for years. the dossier made very, very specific accusations. it said that carter phage when he visited moscow was offered millions of dollars in exchange for lifting united states sanctions on russia. it's not quleesh how carter -- it's not clear how carter page would lift sanctions on russia. but so far those allegations, as far as we know, none have been confirmed. david: another party interested in removing the sanctions on russia, not just mrputin, but also the fusion gps people who were out to discredit the people who put the sanctions on russia. it points to the fact if there was any collusion at all, fusion gps was paid for by the dnc and the hillary campaign. they were working with people close to putin. if there is any collusion it looks like there was collusion between the democrats and russia than trump and russia. byron: fution was work both sides of the street. we know they were hired by putin-linked the russians to repeal the sanctions. so if you look at the dossier, it quote source starks within source b and source c. one of them is a kremlin official, a former kremlin official, and a businessman connected to the kremlin. you have to wonder if the russians are feeding that information to fusion gps and fuchs is on both sides of this thing. david: clearly they were on the side of putin and the people trying to smear donald trump. in particular the dnc. byron york, we'll be quite busy. i will see more you in the c

mr. kushner's level whose process is delayed. no concerns were raised about mr. kushner's application." deputy attorney general rod rosenstein informed the white house three weeks ago that there were still a number of items in kushner's file that require further investigation. not known when the process will be completed or whether kushner will receive his full security clearance. the department of justice weighed in on president trump's request to ban so-called bump stocks used last october by the las vegas shooter. jeff sessions saying he believes it can be done without going through congress. >> our top people in the department of justice have believed for some time that through regulatory process we cannot allow the bump stock to convert a weapon from semiautomatic to fully automatic. >> on the broader issue of gun safety and school shootings, the white house today said it will have some policy proposals to announce later this week. one question, while the president make good on his pledge to raise the minimum age to buy a rifle or shotgun to 21? to do it, he would have to go up against the nra which is stridently opposed to the idea. >> the president said yesterday sometimes you have to fight them. is he willing to take on the nr nra? this idea of raising the minimum age. >> the president still supports raising the age limit to 21 for the purchase of certain firearms. we are meeting with bipartisan members of congress tomorrow. we expected to be a topic of discussion. he knows everybody doesn't necessarily agree. >> other news of the white house that happened today. president trump named his 2020 campaign manager, brad parscale. he will also liaise with the congressional races between now and november, trying to hold on to the house and senate in the midterm elections. the president announcing today he cut a deal for two new air force one aircraft with boeing. $3.9 billion deal. the president says saving 1.4 billion off the initial cost estimate. >> bret: he likes to talk about saving the money on those deals. >> he does. the art of the deal. he bought a couple airframes that well already in existence. >> bret: thank you. the justice department coming under new scrutiny over it surveillance of the term campaign. chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge tells us about an announcement today. >> the justice department internal watchdog knee-deep in the investigation of the clinton email case will take on surveillance abuse. >> it will be investigated. >> taking questions at a news conference on the opioid crisis, the attorney general was pressed on the memos and whether laws were broken when a surveillance warrant which granted the trump campaign aide carter page. will you investigate? >> we believe the department of justice must adhere to the high standards in the fisa court. i think that is the appropriate thing. the inspector general will take that as one of the matters. >> after rescheduling, white house communications director hope hicks testified. >> >> republican source said his answered questions about the campaign but not about her timen the white house. not clear whether she invoked executive privilege. >> i'm not going to comment on the individual's interactions with the committee. we are cooperating. the president has said repeatedly there is no collusion. >> also on capitol hill, director of the national security agency pressed by senate democrats on the administration's commitment to thwarting rough russia's future interference. >> you said president trump has never ordered a cyber comp to defend or thwart russian attempts to meddle in the elections? stick a never given specific direction to take additional steps outside my authority. i have taken steps inside my authority. >> he said punishing the russians could take many forms from diplomacy to sanctions and cyber capabilities. >> there are tools available to us and i think in fairness you can't say nothing has been done. my point would be it hasn't been enough. >> the white house disagreed. >> we are taking a number of steps to prevent it and looking at a variety of other ways we can continue to implement over the coming weeks and months. >> special counsel has moved to dismiss the bank and tax fraud charges in virginia against rick gates. the filing is tied to the agreement friday to plead bill t to conspiracy to defraud the united states and lying to the fbi. >> bret: the effort to stop another parkland or columbine or sandy hook from happening is the top job for congress. chief congressional correspondent mike manual tells us of anything substantial is happening on gun control and school safety. >> students from marjory stoneman douglas high school took to capitol hill their message. a message not lost on speaker paul ryan who seemed conflicted over president trump's push on arming teachers to make american schools safer. >> as a parent and as a citizen, i think it's a good idea but as speaker of the house i need to respect federalism and local jurisdictions. >> democrats backed a proposal targeting firearms like the one used in parkland. >> well over 150 people supporting it. that's pretty clear. overwhelming majority of the house democratic caucus. >> the idea is a nonstarter for republicans. the proposal that has the most bipartisan support tightening of background checks by incentivizing states and federal agencies to send information to the national instant criminal background check system. fact by texas republican john cornyn and connecticut democrat chris murphy. >> i am encouraged that the president seems to be willing to do something on background checks. he has endorsed online conference of background checks. >> chuck schumer wants a full debate on gun issues and says just background checks won't cut it. >> if that's all congress does, we won't have done our job to keep america's families safe. >> senate majority leader mitch mcconnell notes the gun issue brings out passions. >> waved we have been down thih before. there are bipartisan differences about how to address the issue. >> mcconnell says the focus of republican senators was on school safety and not guns. democrats clearly worried republicans will pass the background checks measure and savior done. stay on mike emanuel, thanks. let's talk about guns, school safety and others subjects with kellyanne conway. let's start with the story we lead with, the security clearance issue for jared kushner. downgraded to secret. how is that sitting in the white house and how does it affect his job? >> i have not discussed it directly with jerrod or anyone else. jerrod is in charge of or supports many of the different initiatives by the president. president trump on friday in front of the whole world, the press conference with the australian prime minister. he has great faith in jared kushner senior advisor. working on middle east peace. he's been involved with nafta. he said a great deal to do with china. he's been involved, i don't know the status of other people's security clearances, nor do i want to. i find of the entire process one that should be tightly held and not within the purview of colleagues at the white house. i expect the rest of us will be informed as we need to be. >> bret: intelligence officials say 50% to 75% of the material that goes over the nsc nsc's desk is top-secret. dealing with middle east peace. that's a lot of top secret stuff. i leave that to jared and the nsc and others. i remind you -- >> bret: do you expect the clearances are coming through? >> i have no knowledge about that and it's not for me to comment. >> bret: "washington post" saying officials and at least four countries have privately discussed ways they can manipulate jared kushner by taking advantage of his complex business arrangements, financial difficulties and lack of foreign policy experience. how do you respond to a story like that? >> i haven't had a chance to read it. i haven't had a chance to discuss it with jared and others. i can't really comment on a story that is newly posted. what i will say is i think there's people out there gunning for folks all of the time. that goes beyond doing one's job as a reporter, as a journalist. since the moment we arrived here, they have been throwing logs in our path. it doesn't deter the president from carrying out the agenda. he's had tremendous progress and delivered results again and again despite, really despite unprecedented negativity thrown on his way and in the way of his family and advisors. >> bret: in white house palace intrigue, is there a battle between john kelly and different members, including jared kushner? >> i have not seen that. the general, i can imagine. he has a great deal of respect and support among the staff in the building. not only because he has brought structure and discipline and order and a process and i think it benefits the president. the man is the commander-in-chief and leader of the free world. he ought to have time to get input and ideas. general kelly is oriented differently for many of us. he came from the cabinet. he is a great deal of respect on capitol hill and among cabinet members. here among the senior staff. >> bret: let's talk substance on the gun issue. here senator john cornyn today. >> if our attitude is i want everything in my list or nothing, we are going to end up with nothing. let's do what we can immediately to pass and build from there. things like bump stocks, mental health failures. >> bret: what is realistic? for immigration, you have pillars you had to have. are there pillars when it comes to gun control and safety, school safety? >> the president has spoken extensively. he's been talking to affected families and individuals. obviously public safety officers. yesterday to the governors. i sat in on all three sessions and i can tell you, even in conversations with members on capitol hill, the president supports increasing the age perhaps for possession of some firearms. he certainly supports fixing nics, the background checks. he has talked about mental health, he's talked about how he wants to make it more difficult for people who shouldn't have firearms to have them but easier for those who should and should be allowed to carry them under the second amendment. when i say easier, for law enforcement to do its job also and give resources, tools for the brave men and women in charge of this. it's a complex issue. i think nerves have been raw because we are so moved and saddened and angered by what has happened in parkland and elsewhere. this is a president, like he did on immigration, on energy policy, taxes, he is bringing both parties in both chambers into the white house. he is going to them and working. he is talking to them about what's possible. in the end, congress will need to act and the president will sign into law something that is reasonable common sense that gets us closer to keeping school children safe i can imagine that's not a partisan issue. we have heard really good other ideas, including from the governors yesterday. a single point of entry for some schools. others are arguing for armed guards. others are arguing, as the president said. >> bret: the pillars aren't set. ideas on the table. he said numerous times the nra is going to come around, that they are with us. don't worry. don't be scared of them. is the nra going to come around? so far they are not, raising the age for buying a weapon. >> the nra has spoken clearly for a number of years as to what they support and don't. they have been for stronger background checks for individuals. they talked about making sure. penalties for committing a crime with a firearm illegally. the president has brought them to the table. he said yesterday he met with the democrat and republican governors at the white house. he had lunch with members of the nra, top brass. when he says they will come around, i think the president is saying everybody has an interest in making sure schoolchildren are safe and no parent should kiss their child could buy, you and me included, not see them again. we as a nation need to act and not overreact. >> bret: march 5 right around the corner, the daca deadline. the courts have done what they have done or not done come in the case of the supreme court. what is the sense in the white house about what is necessary to do? >> daca is a great example of the president being opened up a people's ideas and saying okay, that i'm not going to take care of the 600,000. we will do all 1.8 million. he said that in a bicameral, bipartisan meeting in the cabinet room. fox news covered the entire hou hour. yet you can't have the democrats back to the table. they won't come back and fix it. this congress had all of last year to do it. the president gave them another six months to do it and they haven't acted. you have to ask why? do they care about having a blunt instrument against the present and the party or do they care about helping the dreamers? >> bret: is there an executive order coming, something else from this white house? >> if it's not going to happen on capitol hill, i know the president is examining other avenues and options. remember, one body in this town makes the laws. one executes it. the other interprets it. we have three separate but equal branches. this president has taken action through executive order when he thinks others are slow to act or when he is in a position to do it. we've seen them do it with health care, for example, trying to open up health care benefits to others when repealing and replacing obamacare failed on capitol hill. to get coal miner benefits back. regulatory reforms. take us out of tpp, take us out of what he considers to be a bad deal. he will active his authority allows them to. he's made a commitment to resolving the issue. the question is, where are the democrats? >> bret: thank you for the time. first lady melania trump has cut ties with an advisor whose firm was paid $26 million to help plan the president's inauguration. a spokeswoman said mrs. trump has severed the gratuitous service contract with a new york-based events planner. she had been working as an unpaid advisor to the first lady. tennessee republican senator bob corker says he still intends to retire after the end of his term, not run for reelection. corker says he reconsidered for some time at the urging of constituents and colleagues but he says he is taking with his original decision. >> i will miss this. i really do believe that coming up here with a mission purpose is the right way for me to serve in the senate. >> bret: congresswoman marsha blackburn, consider the favorite to replace corker, saying to the senator for his service and called the republicans unify and focus on defeating the democrat in november. local authorities apparently had more reason to keep an eye on the young man charged with the florida school massacre. a live report coming up. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength to stop tough

mr. stewart is sincere that washington this week that he would do all he could to protect bob mueller and mr. rosenstein and support the bipartisan legislation that is out there that would do that. also support releasing the democratic memo that puts into context point by point, the seriousness of this investigation as well as unseen evidence that bolsters the fbi's credibility. >>chris: i promise i will get to the whole memo and get to the controversy about fisa in a moment. here's the issue i don't understand congressman stewart, the house intelligence committee is in the midst of a broad investigation of unprecedented russian interference in an american election in 2016. yet you decide in the midst of that investigation to write a memo on this one particular point. which is what happened or didn't happen in the fisa court. our house republicans more concerned about protecting us from the russians protecting us from the fbi? >> a little of both actually. that's not what we expected when we started this investigation. just a few months before the election i was in moscow and i talked to media and said they are going to mess with our elections. there's no question that was their intention and there's no question that they did. that's the impetus for this house investigation. we want to look at their how they interviewed. and hopefully preclude that from happening in the future. but as a result of that, we became aware of this abuse by the fbi and department of justice officials. we just out like this was so important. it's kind of separate from the russia investigation. it is so important that we advise the american people of that. that's why we wanted to release this memo, that this information out as quickly as possible. we will continue the investigation on both sides. this was a bit of a pause to say this is meaningful information the american people deserve to know. >>reporter: you buy that congressman stalwell? >> no, i don't. i've seen all of the evidence. i have been for every second that the witness has testified there was my republican colleagues would do the same. transcripts have been released and mr. stewart wasn't present or didn't ask a question. >>chris: let's get to the issue. >> the issue here is there is no intention to get to the evidence. no interest or willingness to understand the evidence in this case. the evidence we have seen with the limited subpoena power we have seen is a deep willingness that existed on the trump campaign and family and businesses to work with the russians and receive information on hillary clinton. we've got to do something about it to make sure it doesn't happen again. >> i'd like to respond to that if i could. if you want to convince people, conventional and democratic allies. convince diane feinstein. go convince general clapper. they have said there was no evidence of collusion. it's not just the republicans that are saying that. >>chris: congressman stewart, i want to put up several things .8a full screen. some of the events have nothing to do with the carter page warrant which is why i wondered why you decided to focus just on that. george

mr. stewart is sincere when we go back to washington this week that he would do all the good to protect bob muller and mr. rosenstein. >> for the latest action tonight on the memo we go to molly edinburg in washington. folly. reporter: a key point in this memo is that publicans say the secret courts were not told that the dossier presented as evidence was paid for by democrats. that dossier the memo says help secure a warrant for the fbi to spy on carter page, it's material collected by a former british spy funded by the democratic national committee and the hillary clinton campaign. publicans say that fisa was not important that but there was some disclosure by democrats. >> is relative to what their political actor in court and the court was notified of the political actor and its bad precedent and unprecedented to not tell a court that a source as this level of bias. look at just the disclosure of pay for it. >> they could've said it was the dnc and hillary clinton and that would've been easy. reporter: there is dispute over what now former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe told lawmakers. the memo indicates mccabe said no surveillance warrants would have been sought out the dossier. not true for the democrats. >> i was there a part of the questioning. i promise you that the intent of his answers that we would not have gone forward were it not for this dossier. >> that is not what he said. they have the transcript and i don't understand why they wouldn't pull from the transit. reporter: chuck schumer urged president trump to back democrats effort to get their own a memo out. house intelligence chairman republican devon nunez said his committee will vote on it once democrats memo go through all the normal review procedures. >> molly in washington for more on this list bring kelly jane morrison, editor at the weekly standard thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. the point molly made at the end of the report is into the new week seems to be the question in terms of what is next. there are reports that there may be formed in memos another subject still to come but to molly's point of the question is what about the democratic memo, the so-called rebuttal? to see that at some point? it sounds like the will and there will be dueling memos back and forth over and over. the democrats have the committee has voted to not release it but that committee is controlled by republicans but it does look like there's a very real possibility that they will finally relent and let it go. president trump has to review it and make the call himself whether he will let it stand. the democrats want this memo released in the interest of transparency and fairness and that is great but the question i have is can you really have this transparency and can you say we want the american people to see both memos and judge for themselves. they will not see the underlying material that both of those memos are based on so how can the american people actually judge. >> that would be an argument for releasing either memo. >> one is already out there so it's a good question and people are saying as the reporter just said we've got into mckay's testimony in the first memo didn't close permit and the democrats are going to pull from it but wouldn't it be great if there want to argue about what andrew mccabe said to release his testimony and this is the problem. once he started saying hey i will release the memo based on some classified information this is what you get yourself into. you get yourself into this game where people want to release more and more of that information. it will be hard to pull back all of it. >> in addition to what mccabe billy said is to the president's point on yesterday about whether he was vindicated completely in the russian investigation is as he claims he was. before we talk about it here is cumbersome and will heard, can out of texas. does that memo that has been released to indicate the present. curious. >> i don't. i don't agree with some of my colleagues that say they're using words explosive and i'm not shocked that elected officials are using hyperbole and exaggeration. >> that's republican congressman, not the only one that separated the two issues and that's important about whether or not you can extrapolate out the memo even if you're upset about the way things are handled for the entire russian investigation. >> that's a great question. that's the thing. this thing has to deal with a pretty small one portion of the russian investigation and that focuses on carter page. it doesn't say anything about george topless who is also of course pled guilty to giving the fbi. statements. well, it does tell us the investigation started with papadopoulos. >> yes, and the fact is honestly i'm surprised republicans are going to the mat for carter page. remember, he left the campaign month before the campaign and he wasn't part of the campaign once they started the surveillance. ties are not hearing from either party is the fact that this really shows how much deference courts give governments. this is a wide-ranging problem. courts at all levels and this is a little too willing, in my view, to take any government claims were statements at face value. they treat any claim made by any other party skepticism as they should. when you are making a court and when you have a court making an argument in favor of your client or in favor of prosecution and in this case are not hearing just about really both parties to be talking about the courts are very willing to give deference to the government and perhaps that is the bigger issue and should have that affect more than just this question investigation but legislation and laws of the state level to better level of to the court. >> interesting point and not one that many have been talking about. as a final point here tonight before we let you go, kelly, one of the things people are talking about is what is the real impact of all of this. the scene surveys showing the's trust in law enforcement in particular in the fbi is going down. i had congressman lloyd out of texas earlier addition to the box for tonight talking about all of this and he had the following to say. >> regardless of the issue of whether the president colluded makes pretty clear the worst collusion if there even was any the trump administration in russia the real pollution and the real crime involved the doj and the process they used and abused. >> on that last point you wonder whether the president and the republicans have gotten their so-called victory out of this by either muddying the waters or sowing seeds of doubt when it comes to law enforcement in the fbi. >> it is a reverse because republicans tend to generate law enforcement and to worry the democrats tend to make them look bad and this is not a democratic department of justice. that was the first department that asked for the surveillance but it was renewed and it was viewed by someone that the president himself appointed to be deputy attorney general. i think it is dangerous when you talk about undermined public trust in one of the top 1% agencies and perhaps there are problems there but this is a pretty serious charge and you better be sure about it. you better think about the consequences because as someone in charge of the federal government they want the public to believe that the government is doing its investigation and doing what it is supposed to do fairly and they may be undermining that to their disadvantage

mr. stewart is sincere when we go back to washington this week that he would do all he could to protect bob mueller and mr. rosenstein and support the bipartisan legislation that is out there that would do that. and also that would support that puts into context point by point the seriousness of this n, unseen evidence that bolsters the fbi's crescent dough my i'mg to get to the memo and the whole controversy about fisa and a he. here's the issue i don't understand, congressman the house intelligence committee is in the midst of a broad investigation of un interferencn american election in 2016, and yeat investigation to write a memo on this onepoint, which isr didn't happen in the fisa our house republicans were concerned about protecting us om us from the fbi? >> congressman stewart: a little bly. that's not what we expected when we started this investigation. just a fewin was in moscow and i talked to the media and they said they will mess with our elections. there's no question that that was intentional, there's no question that they did. that's the impetus for this house investigation. we want to look at how they interfered and hopefully preclude that from happening in the future. but as a result of that, we became aware of this abuse by the fbi and department of justice officials. and we just felt like this was so important, it's kind of separate from a russian investigation, but it's so important that we advise the american people of that, and that's why we wanted to release this memo, get this information out there as quickly as possible. we will continue the investigation on both sides, but again this is a bit of a pause for us to say this is information the american people deserve to know. >> chris: do you buy that congressman swalwell? >> congressman swalwell: no, i don't. i've seen all of the evidence. i've sat in for almost every single second that a witness has testified. i wish my republican colleagues would do the same. four public transcripts have been released and mr. stewart was either not present or did not ask a single question. >> chris: if that's kind of inside baseball. let's get to the issue. >> congressman swalwell: sure, but the issue is that there's not a willingness to look at the evidence. they assert that there is no collusion, but there's no interest or willingness to understand the evidence in this case. the evidence that we've seen with a limited subpoena power we have is a deep willingness that exists around the trump campaign in the trump family and the trump businesses to work with the russians and to receive information on hillary clinton. we want to do something about it to make sure it won't happen again. >> congressman stewart: i have to respond to that if i could. mr. swalwell, if you want to convince people, go convince her own democratic allies. go convince dianne feinstein. go convince general klapper. i have said there is no evidence of collusion. it's not just the republicans were saying that. >> chris: congressman ste
