mr. schiff and his colleagues. again, that memo is an important next up to those that think we have not gotten to the bottom of the carter page fisa warrant and the potential scandal that so many things it -- so many think it represents. host: michael in georgia, democrat line. caller: i would like you to ask your guest, how do we know the white house did not conclude with nunes like they did before? in writing the memo? this is something that the democrats at the white house was working with republicans on. guest: there is no longer would prevent at least some kind of back-and-forth cooperation and discussion between senior members of the house intelligence committee and white house. pedro, there are strong norms about it. it is hard to be an effective overseer as the house intelligence committee is supposed to be, if you are running over to those you are overseeing on a regular basis, to plot strategy. the more coordination there was between the white house and mr. the house majority on intelligence committee, th

mr. schiff.hank you for coming on. >> glad to be here, tucker. >> tucker: the intelligence committee, our intelligence committee described him as a key component of the russia propaganda machine. here you have one of the leaders, grand inquisitors of the russia investigation appearing on it willfully being used by the russian government to propagandize our people, to undermine our democracy, to hack our way of life. why should he not recuse himself immediately from the investigation on the basis of that? >> i assume from the whole intro, you are doing that tongue-in-cheek. clearly, as you know, politicians are on many, many networks. i don't think he, as you are trying to describe, saying that rt is trying to undermine american democracy. i got the point. i get the point. i think we all get the point. >> tucker: i'm using the standard that everybody is using, the leaders of your party are using. if you have contact with the russian government and particularly if you willingly participate in russi

mr. schiff had a productive meeting. would you like to make material available to mr. hiff through your embassy?" then she said, "let me know the best way to pick up those materials in washington." she emailed back the next day. "do you know we will have the meeting in washington to pick up the materials"? how is that not adam schiff's'av office coordinating with foreign agents to get damaging material on a political opponent? isn't that exactly what trump is being accused of? >> not even close. but i think you ought to bring him in and ask him that. >> tucker: he accused me working with putin and never would come on again. how is that -- how was that okay? >> what they are significantly different. this is one of the issues -- nobody likes to be politifacted -- the meeting they had at trump tower with the russian individual. i got a mostly true. they came in the back door and we couldn't verify that they came in the back door. it could have been a side door or a window. >> tucker: we talked about that forever. >> it is a completely different situation! are you actually

mr. schiff's memo. the political pressure may of changed. now it would look rather heavy-handed on the part of the republican intelligence committee given all the noise out there to not release the memo. frankly i think it is more likely than not at this point that the democratic memo at least some point sees the light of day. i still think it will be he can-he said until they review the underlying application for themselves. i wish the president and the senior republicans in the house would be more aggressive and more proactive. getting the underlying application that either does or does not vindicate the president and approved this was or was not a scandal. guest: our first call -- host: our first call comes from cedar rapids, iowa -- iowa. go ahead with your question or comment. that in thed read dossier that mr. paige had been offered a 19% share in the russian oil company in return for his influence on trump to lift sanctions. the person that is alleged part of that to steal was a former kgb and fsb intelligence agent and was secretly's

mr. schiff. her shift is just -- mr. schiff is trying to prevent the releaso as soon as tomorrow. >> shannon: new developments with peter strzok, the fbi agent involved with the hillary clinton email investigation, remove from the mueller investigation. today it comes out that cnn reports he was one of the ones who prepared her -- or helped to draft the comey letter. if that's true, then this guy -- "they development potentially throws a wrench in theories that strzok is auto undermined drop in the run-up to the election and that special counsel robert miller's russia investigation is tainted by antidrug bias." >> this is a coordinated leak to try to take the wind out of the big news today which was that the fbi, andrew mccabe, and presumably mr. strzok had information that there were clinton emails on anthony weiner's laptop and they waited almost a month to inform congress. no one doubts strzok was going to the motions and the clinton investigation. judicial watch has sued for the documents. strzok's name is all over th

mr. schiff and his democrats on that committee. they can argue and fuss and fight and at the end of the day the republicans ship that memo across town to the republican white house and they get to decide if we all start reading it tomorrow afternoon. >> no, that's right. and brian, look, you've been around long enough to cover washington and congress. and look, what you're seeing is unprecedented. and we play our partisan games on a lot of the committees. but, you know, when the ethics committee and the intelligence committee -- there's been a long-running idea that these are where you leave partisanship at the door because the integrity of the country and our democracy was too important. you know, it was governor kasich i think on this network yesterday, republican from ohio, who said, speaker ryan should tell nunes to cut it out. right? i think we got to go further. i think it's time for speaker ryan to tell nunes, he's got to stop this and cut it out, because this is fundamentally dangerous and we're going into territory that is

mr. schiff saying this is all a lie, let's get it all public. let's get these fisa warrants and let the public review them themselves. the way they are structured, there is an underlying sworn affidavit from a special david or attorney, fbi attorney or doj attorney, that lays out the case. then there is an enclosure to the warrant application itself, which is executed by a deputy attorney general or higher. even the attorney general himself. saying we need access to this because the subject is either an agent of a foreign power, or is a terrorist, both are applicable , and let see what the case was, what the statements are. because in this case, they have relied upon, deputy director mccabe said they relied on this steele dossier. that one under oath that is true. but if there is more, what is it? when they have or do these ,pplications for the warrants they, meaning the department of justice and fbi, had an affirmative obligation to update and inform the court, each judge, the four judges involved -- this is my understanding -- to perfect the r

mr. schiff to create a memo that is nothing otherwise, but it's got problems to it.barrass him to say, now they're mistreating us. so it's a twofer on their side, but the reality is, i want the democrat memo released. we all do. >> let's bring back ali vitali. where do democrats go from here from republicans in the white house? aren't they already at a disadvantage given the number of factors here? >> i think the congressional committees have become so politicized, that we should note, is very rare. the senate house intelligence, the house intelligence committee, used to be separate from the rest of congress. that's not the case anymore, dara. the bottom line is nobody has any idea when exactly bob mueller will see investigators to put forth the conclusion of their results and make the results of their investigation public. but these congressional committees on the left and the right have so intensely politicized this process that they're trying to make it a factor for when ultimately judgment day does come down. and bob mueller does release his investigation. and i

mr. schiff. it's got some problems to it and then they get to embarrass and say now they're mistreating us. so it's a two-fer on their side. i want the democrat's memo released. we all do. >> arthel: you just called the democratic memo a nothing burger, the gop memo was called a nothing burger. if you're asking the american public to see through the shade cast by the democrats, how do you convince them that the republicans aren't doing the same thing, making decisions that seem to benefit party and not necessarily the american people? >> well, i think you get the democrats' memo out as quickly as possible. i think where redactions have to be made, you ask them to make the redactions. it's going to get to the intelligence comet a commit at . if you they don't want to work to redact it, maybe they have to take out what's confidential. >> arthel: who needs to go through it and take it out? >> the intelligence committee chairman, maybe with the help of the fbi and other intelligence agencies that are

mr. schiff and mr. gowdy have. i have been briefed on the contents by our staff. i've been briefed on the contents of the fisa application by our staff. >> is your committee broken now? >> it's not irreparable yet. but it will be. >> really? >> it's really. >> if he remains it is. if he remains it. >> devin announce just said these guys tell so many lies you can't keep track of them. >> it's irreparable if he remains as chairman. i still believe if a new chairman came on board, mike con know way would be the logical replacement, that we can become harmonious again and check our political beliefs and our partisanship at the door. >> congressman eric swalwell, thank you. >> my pleasure. >> coming up, the man at the center of the discredited memo and why he gave paul ryan a shoutout on this very show months ago. the enduring mystery of carter page next. y beginning ... it was always our singular focus, a distinct determination. to do whatever it takes, use every possible resource. to fight cancer. and never lose sight of the patients we're fighting for. our cancer tr

mr. schiff is including in his memo.hat being said, you are right there will be a difference of approach that the president would be giving towards the nuÑez memo released on friday in the memo that mr. schiff contemplates releasing, which could be sometime this week. that is at least what he is expecting and hoping. neil: thank you very much. i want to read on this from fbi assistant director bill gavin. the market is that a bit of a pre-fall now about 421. you are not to blame for that. just keeping people apprised of that. i'm going to ask you is strange question that the markets could be rattled by this if it means the back-and-forth memo and everything being the outcome of the whole investigation into russian potential ties to the trump campaign in who is wrapped up in what could get dragged out and in other words become a much longer sort of a soap opera that's earlier the case. what are your thoughts? >> there is a nexus with what is going on with the memo's back-and-forth with republican and democratic memos to t

schiff responded firing back, saying this, mr. president, what you call political are actually called facts. your concern for sources and methods would be more convincing if you hadn't decided to release the gop memo 100% before reading it and over the objections of the fbi. this as republicans accuse democrats of playing politics and forces the president to block a memo they knew wasn't reable. >leasable. >releaseable. >> this is a double whammy for the democrats and mr. schiff to create a memo that's a nothing burger otherwise but it's got problems to it. they get to embarrass them and say now they're mistreating us. the reality is i want the democrat memo released it'. it's a nothing burger, it's my favorite. that's not the story. go o ahead, molly. >> reporter: hi, julie. president trump says the democrats' memo needs to be revised and he insists this shouldn't come as a surprise to the memo's authors. the president said, quote, the democrats sent a political and long response memo which they knew, because of sources and metho

mr. schiff knows he is spreading false narrative there. but that's not new for him. he spread false narrative the entire time. the democrats were well aware that i did not leak information. however, for a year they stayed quiet. they continued, they advocated for my removal from the committee. >> president trump backed up nunes in a tweet last hour saying nunes will someday be recognized as a great american hero for what he has exposed and had to endure. as for the republican memo the president claimed exoneration over the weekend and learning about the fact that the fisa warrant was derived from that unverified dossier. the president tweeting this memo totally vindicates trump in quotation marks in probe. talking about the campaign there. the russia hunt goes on and on. there was no collusion or no obstruction. after one year of looking endlessly and finding nothing, collusion is dead. this is an american disgrace. however, south carolina congressman trey gowdy who co-wrote the republican memo said wait a minute here, the memo is not the final word on the russia inv

mr. schiff knows he is spreading false narrative therapy. that's not new for him.se narrative the entire time. >> kimberly: the president calling him a liar and the leaker who must be stopped toda today. >> dana: over the weekend i tried to take a step back and i figured i'm going to let it settle and then read a couple more things on monday to see where people are. i feel like it is -- we are at the same place that we were on friday except that the democrats have sort of advance their agenda by responding to the president the way they had come over there it is punching or counter punching, i have lost count. i think the question of whether the underlying documents are going to be revealed is still an open question. friday night, devin nunes was on bret baier's show for an exclusive interview and bret asked if he had read the underlying documents and he said no but that trey gowdy had become a congressman from south carolina who is overseeing the oversight committee. i'm wondering about if the intelligence committee folks are not read in on what's happening underne

mr. schiff's bill?would make judges subject, fisa judges subject to presidential appointment and senate confirmation as well. so mr. schiff was actually before the bill before he was apparently not interested. ainsley: why isn't he for the bill now? steve: good question. brian: waiting for him to get back to us because he is not shy about being on camera. only person on camera more is the president of the united states. because he has been -- not on this network so to speak but on the others. it's been the adam schiff show. ainsley: in other news, lawsuit, you had something else to say about that. steve: more than the president my pillow guy. brian: he has a great story to say. is there a portion of the my pillow story we have not examined yet? i'm not sure. ainsley: his commercials are long but we are grateful for them. he buys a lot of time on all the networks including ours. steve: he sold i think 90 million pillows. brian: why america is oversleeping. ainsley: california brought up this lawsuit to s

mr. schiff as sleazy and biassed and little, so i would think that we would have someone other than the president make evaluation, and we have sent it to both the department of justice and the fbi. whatever redactions they suggest should stand. >> i want you to listen to the republican chairman of your committee talking with sean hannity. we'll talk about it on the other side. >> part of the reason why we know that we're right is because the relentless attacks on me, trey gowdy. they attack trey gowdy and myself in their memo and come to conclusions. what did they say for ten days? they said our memo came to all sorts of conclusions. our memo just listed facts. and their memo, people will see, they come to conclusions. >> well, that is the republican chair of your committee. what has happened to the house intelligence committee which is one of the repositories, ideally of our nation's secrets in your view is it broken forever now? >> well, i hope it's not broken forever, but it has been deeply wounded by this process, and it has not helped that this memo in particular was dropped on us with no no

mr. schiff knows he is spreading the false narrative but that's not new for him. the democrats were well aware that i did not leak information. however, for a year they stayed quiet. they continued. they advocated for my removal from the committee. why is that? we've been successful at getting to the bottom of a lot of real problems with the institutions in our government. so there's no question they want me gone. >> he is alleging as the president has alleged, that there is a crisis in effect inside us institutions including the fbi. how do you respond? >> this is the same chairman. he said he obtained information, unmasking a conspiracy. the obama administration showed that he got that information from the white house. so i wonder why we would think that this is history repeating himself. when he was asked in committee about work in concert with the white house. but we have seen little interest unfortunately of late. certainly from the chairman who hasn't displayed an interest in the beginning. to get to the bottom of what the russians did. to investigate into w

mr. schiff and the democrats feel that this memo was, quote, politically redacted they do have the power to bring this to a closed door session of the house in order to vote that memo out and in order to override the president's declassification authority. >> jon: why would democrats want to do that? one of their complaints about the then imminent release of the republican version -- the republican memo is that it would reveal sources and methods. if you're saying that your understanding is this one goes into even more depth, why? >> i think that john roberts hit it on the head before me. the fact that the democrats are eager to have the president have to make some redactions here so they can claim there is a political motivation behind these. the fact of the matter is if we look at the republican memo we heard so much about sources and methods, etc., etc., there was absolutely no national security implications to a fully unredacted version of the memo. so there is quite a bit of political theater that goes into this and we also have to understand this memo was constructed as a rebuttal

mr. schiff said at the end he had a lawyerly answer that responded to one small aspect. >> it seemed to be an easy question to answer. >> it is fairly obvious. they have been blocking back for the white house for a long time. and they have coordinated with him when it came to that first nunes trip to the white house. if you witnessed what we have witnessed for almost a year now, with the chairman, refusing to sign subpoenas in key witnesses, going along with the gag order of the white house, it is a pattern of behavior that makes it extraordinarily difficult to do this. it is tough enough. we are investigating a foreign adversary, you are not going to be able to subpoena a russian oligarch. for the independent investigator to block us too, it makes it very difficult. >> do you believe the president is going to allow the democrat's memo to be released? >> i think when he is briefed on it. i can't imagine that he is going to read ten pages of footnoted academic type material, i believe he is not going it want to. i believe he will get pressure from his party or staff. but i can't imagine he

schiff wasn't about to let her let that go unanswered. "mr. president, i see you have had a busy morning of executive time. instead of tweeting false mirrors, the american people would appreciate if you turned off the tv had helped solve the funding crisis, protected dreamers, or really anything else." president trump did take some time to focus on something else, tax reform. not mentioning the huge drop in the stock market despite taking credit for its rise but breaking the growth potential of his tax reform plan. >> you can work hard to put if you don't have the right leader setting the right tone, in all fairness, not even saying. i am nonbraggadocio's. but if i don't set a tone like you are not going to keep taking our jobs. you are not going to keep doing what you're doing. >> president trump said because of tax reform, republicans may book historic trends in the november midterms. >> i think because of what we don't want because of the tremendous success we've had. i had a feeling that we are going to do incredibly well in '18. and i hav

mr. schiff.ames comey, andrew mccade, sally yates, rod rosenstein, they are all complicit in this because they at different points all approved the surveillance. they used this yahoo news article written by michael isikoff to corroborate the former domain phony dossier. the source for the story for isikoff was christopher stele. the fbi never corroborated the information from two different sources and they presented it to the judge like it was two sources corroborating the same thing. that was never the case. as it relates to steele, he was also suspended and terminated as an fbi source for leaking to the media.us the memo also exposes the bruce ohr maintained a close relationship with steele. we know that bruce ohr had an office four doors down from jim comey! we know that his wife was working forr fusion gps. specifically hired to build that trump dossier.t she was kind of paid by the clintons when you look at it logically. as "the daily caller" points out, sure does look like fusion gps was tr

mr. schiff said, at the very end he had a very lawyerly answer.only responded to one small aspect of that. >> back now with the panel. joining us as well is steven more. there's no way to tell whether the president the white house hasn't said whether the president will release this or not. it will go through the same review process. although it seemed like the president decided he was going to release that. >> he made it clear he was going to release it. there's no way the president is not going to release it that would be so bad and make him look bad. i feel like i can totally see him not releasing it. right? i can see him saying no this makes me look like. or having it so redacted it doesn't have meaning. maybe he'll release it. and put it out exactly as it is. there's nothing in the past showing he would be shamed to putting it out. >> i'm sure he doesn't want to. the political pressure will be tough. and i think if he doesn't release it, the temptation for someone just to leak it will be very strong. so my guess would be one way or the other w

mr. schiff just said lewandowski will not reappear before the committee and that he should be subpoenaed.letter. [ inaudible ] >> what's your reaction? >> we will respond. >> he said he would return to answer questions when he was better prepared. is this a violation of that agreement? >> so decidedly not nearly as concerned as adam schiff. and pete king just told me moments ago that he believes that lewandowski should not be subpoenaed because he answered 90% of the questions they had for the committee. another question is when will steve bannon return? he has delayed appearances before the committee after not answering questions about any topics after the campaign season. saying he was trying to preserve the president's right to insert executive privilege. both sides says he needs to come back and answer questions but he wants to talk to bob mueller first before he talks to the house committee. schiff is suggesting that that subpoena be enforced. this comes as hope hicks, her appearance was scrapped by the committee last month after it was unclear whether she would be able to answer que

mr. schiff and gowdy have. i have been briefed on the contents by the staff. i have been relieved -- briefed on the fisa application by the staff. >> is your committee broken now? >> it is not --ir repparable. >> it is not? >> if he remains it is. >> and devin nunes just said these guys tell so many lies you can't believe them. >> and if a new chairman came on board, mike connaway would be the logical replacement, that we can become harmonious again and check our political beliefs and bipartisanship at the door. >> eric swallwell, thank you. >> my pleasure. >>> the man of the center of the memo and why he gave paul ryan a shoutout on this very show months ago. the enduring mystery of carter page, next ve it or lose it" ve it or lose it" and at my age, i'm moving more than ever. because getting older is inevitable. but feeling older? that's something i control. get a coupon at depend.com so, howell...going? we had a vacation early in our marriage that kinda put us in a hole. go someplace exotic? yeah, bermuda. a hospital in bermuda. a hospital in bermuda. what?

mr. schiff but it was a team product. >> well, this is what -- this is what the chief of staff had to sayut the process by which the president is about to decide whether to let it be released. >> i would say, i mean, this is a different memo than the first one. it's lengthier. well, it's different. and so, not leaning towards it, will be done in a responsible way. but, again, the first one was very clean relative to sources, and my initial cut is this one is a lot less clean. >> so at this stage have you heard back to whether the president reviewed it, and whether he, during the five-day period, is going to permit it to go forward? >> we understand it's being reviewed right now. we just ask that it be released free from any political edits. we took a step that the republicans did not take, which was we asked for any sensitive information that's not already been disclosed. if that's in the memo for it to be taken out. we didn't write it that way to disclose anything like that. we just wanted to give full context to the real credibility and seriousness of the investigation, and also the ars

mr. schiff said at the very end, he had a very lawyerly answer that only responded to one small aspect ofck now with the panel. joining us as well is stephen moore. there's no way to tell whether the president -- the white house has not said whether the president is going to release this or not. they say it's going to go through the same review process that the republican memo went through even though it seemed like the president early on decided he was going to release that. >> he made it pretty clear he was ready to release it. i've heard a lot of people saying, oh, there's no way the president's not going to release it because it would make him look so bad. i just feel like i could totally see him not releasing it, right? i could absolutely seeing him saying, no, this makes me look bad, or having it so redacted that it doesn't have any kind of meaning. i mean make he will release it. maybe he'll just put it out exactly as it is, but there's nothing that he's done in the past that would suggest that he would be shamed into putting it out. >> i'm sure he doesn't want to. i think the poli

mr. schiff, the memo -- is the committee going to return to investigating russian collusion and what does that portend for future relations of democrats and republicans on this panel, which has traditionally been a bipartisan one? >> well, i would hope that we can get back in earnest to doing the investigation that we were given the charge to do, and that is the russian interference in our election and the issue of collusion with the trump campaign. obviously there are a whole host of very concerning meetings which initially the administration and the president denied took place. then when it was revealed that they took place, generated false statements to cover up the true intent of those meetings was. you had the national security advisor lie about his contacts with the russians and plead guilty to doing so. you had one of the foreign policy advisers for the campaign also plead guilty to lying to the fbi. that -- those indictments and those convictions took place in record speed, in a matter of months of this investigation. and for my colleagues on the other side of the aisle or in the

mr. schiff, it turns out and this is very embarrassing for him.ear ago he got on the horn, got on the phone with people he believed that they were -- the people speaking to him were from the ukraine. and they had information about donald trump who was, it was very inappropriate what they described. involved with a reality star. turns out these were two comics from russia pranking him but mr. schiff fell for it listen. >> she.com pro-mizeing materials on trump after their short relations. >> okay. and what's the nature of the ko brian: taking notes. a staff followed up, i think, the next day and the next day after that to try to set up a time to get these pictures. let me see, russian operatives, ukrainian operatives claiming to have information on a political opponent and you're going to meet with them and you are going to talk with them to find out what they had? you cannot tell me that adam schiff wasn't thinking he has something very important right there. ainsley: it's just bizarre to me to think they go on to talk about how putin's god daught

mr. schiff and colleagues on the committee of not being able to review what was sent over.ers back home in their district and the letter that the white house sent over included a classified piece to it. so, the only way for to us repeat that is in the capitol. but our staff is doing that. they're working very hard. and, again, we're going to keep plowing through all of the snow that they have put in the way of this investigation and we're going to get the information out. >> you're a former prosecutor, you're a lawyer. i can quote case law to you. there's a case called department of navy versus egan that is the controlling law apparently in this regard. according to professor tribe and professor letterman. nothing in that ruling or any other case suggests let alone that the president has constitutional authority to restrict congress' disclosure of the information, such as information in that memory. therefore no executive orders or presidential actions preclude this piece by letterman to congress. in other words, sir, the only restrictions on your committee to release this

mr. meadows: that's an adam schiff misdirection there. i talked to chairman nunes last night. can tell you from that standpoint any changes were not factual and would have been minor. kevin: why? mr. meadows: in trying to appease adam schiff and the f.b.i. and so i'm ok with releasing the original memo if that's a deterrent. kevin: so republicans saying now just release all versions of this memo. it's unclear whether or not president trump will ultimately decide to do that. just within the past half-hour senior administration officials telling reporters they believe congress has the jurisdiction about whether or not to release that memo. mark: big topic there, kevin, is infrastructure. how can the g.o.p. get the democrats on board? kevin: well, one of the breakout sessions, a key breakout session, mark, is on infrastructure, a plan that the president didn't really go into detail with during his state of the union address, calling for about $1.5 trillion in infrastructure spending. how are they going to pay for it, that's what several lawmakers have said at this retreat. now, a

mr. schiff these days. charles: i want to shift topic as little bit.rongly favors online sales tax. burt fleckinger, resource group managing director. burt, boy, this would obviously hurt amazon, which many people say for years has an unfair advantage to brick and mortar but would it hurt the sort of economic momentum we're seeing for consumers? >> it wouldn't really hurt the economic momentum. what it would to your earlier point, charles, really establish a balance in the competitive playing field. that would end government giveaways. would establish a level playing field tax collection for all businesses regardless of size and then maybe the federal trade commission would go after amazon for section 2 and section 3 violations, predatory pricing anti-competitive practices and we had a record number of bankruptcies, 12 major chains in 2017. we'll have even more in yate. the wealthiest guy in the world, jeff bezos, number two, walton family and walmart doesn't need unfair breaks. we need tax dollars. every time one of the bricks and mortar retailers go

mr. schiff right threw says the democrat memo negates the republican memo.nt said the democrat memo was a total bust. "the wall street journal" has a great headline this morning. it says devin nunes owes adam schiff a thank you for assisting his case because the democrat argument backs up pretty much the republicans say. ainsley: democrats are saying they did tell the fisa court it was political. they didn't give them details about that. but we're wondering did the fisa court ask questions? what do you mean it's political? we can't let you spy on hillary clinton's opponent if it's political. we don't know if they asked that question why would like to seat transcript. brian: many different outlets, the "new york times" says let's see the transcripts. dossier used every single time. we know we have andy mccarthy on a little bit later to break down the details and verbiage key to understanding. this dossier used narrowly. that means directly. and were they direct in saying this was the dnc, hillary clinton-funded investigation? no, they weren't. but they did ha

mr. schiff and the democrats to put out a memo, there's people paying attention and look at that and realizeat's a serious effort when mr. nunes wasn't a serious effort, but this is right along the russian play book. if you get your lie out there first and you stick with it, a lot of people are going to believe it. when they see the other side putting out their own memo, oh one side does it, the other side does it. therefore who am i to believe? that's what mr. putin has done domestically in russia and what he's trying to do here. everybody is corrupt. >> all right, thank you so much for being here this morning. thank you for your service also to the intel communities and to our country. >> thank you. >> we greatly appreciate it. >>> elizabeth, let's statalk ab the hearings yesterday. we are concerned this will turn into an episode of "homeland" where the intel communities start kowtowing to the president of the united states. at least yesterday -- >> it didn't look like it. >> what was your take? >> what was so striking was you have the top intelligence and national security officials in th
