the steele dossier was paid for by the democratic party and fusion gps, mr. christopher steele had associates in russia they could have easily compromised him. we believe the fisa warrant process was abused. the reason we want a special counsel as i think crimes may have been committed. mr. christopher steele was sued in may of 2017 in great britain for libel. someone sued him in british court. in response to the lawsuit he admitted in british court that he had talked to media outlets in september of 2016 about the dossier. the p.i. told the fisa court all through 2016 that mr. christophr steele had no contacts at all with the media when it comes to shopping around the dossier. we have a filing in british court for a lawyer for mr. steele who admits to talking to the worldwide media in september of the same the fbi was using him as a confidential informant. somebody needs to look and see whether or not, who he is lying to. >> we will give him the tools to do it because they cannot be counted on to investigate themselves. it's kind of common sense. if you do so

screwball of from my understanding he there's indications he interface quite a lot with mr steele. during his days as a double agent. man from mine what i've heard recently is potentially still was in connection with him so there may be something in that area and so who's going to benefit from the situation obviously i think the u.k.'s primarily the one that made me see a benefit. of trying to frame russia from this and kind of you know corner them a little bit more i think the u.k. could benefit the maybe the u.s. maybe there's other countries as well that would have if they can shift the blame and actually put it put it you know make russia the bad guys every as they're trying to do with almost everything so it certainly was interesting to see how people were quick to point the finger in this case rasmussen executive vice president of the eurasia center certainly interesting to hear your thoughts glad to have you with us here on r.t. international. thank you sean. all right earlier u.k. prime minister theresa may announce britain would expel twenty three russian diplomats and sus

mr. steele who wrote the thing out didn't believe some of the most of salacious things that were in the trump dossier. >> there is a new book out by two of the journalists who were briefed by christopher steele, two of those journalists have written a book, and as far as we know that steele continues to maintain what he calls the broad assertions of his dossier are correct. but on specifically on one that was salacious and got an enormous amount much attention, this allegations of kinky sex in a moscow hotel room, even christopher steele said he thought the likelihood that being true was maybe 50-50. if you look at circumstantial evidence around that night in moscow you will probably con collided's a lot less than 50-50. david: it was on the basis of that dossier the fisa court ruled it was okay to spy on an american. be sure to vote in tonight's poll. do you have any confidence the corrupt fbi leadership will clear out the deep state colluders at the bureau? cast your vote on twitter @loudobbs. object wall street, stocks closing higher. the s & p up 5. vol on the big board heavy at 5.billion

mr. steele, chris ruddy, c e oh of max media was out this weekend talking about his conversations with president trump. let me play you a little of what mr. ruddy had to say. >> the president told me he's perplexed by all these reports, there's chaos at the white house or mass staff changes. he told me he misses the white house is operating like a smooth machine. his words. >> that remind me, michael something donald trump said himself early on in his election that seem to echo's ruddy's point. listen. >> i turn on the t.v. and open the newspaper and i see stories of chaos yet it is the exact opposite. this administration is running like a fine tuned machine. >> so, is it? >> no it's not. for a guy who professes he loves chaos when there is chaos he sees it as something normal. it is running as a fine tuned machine in his world view of thing. >> if your machine is like the chaos machine? >> yes. if it's the chaos machine. i'm doing good chaos right now so this is all working for me, that's what that's all about. having ruddy come out and say what he says that's the trump whisper. that has been a

mr. steele had associates that could have easily compromised him, and we believe the fisa warrant processas abused, and the reason we want to special counsel, i believe a crime has been committed. >> ed: a crime committed? >> a similar statement to the letter i sent to the attorney general a few weeks ago. i will tell you this, senator grassley and his team have done a great job. i am glad to see the other three senators coming in and helping senator grassley. he deserves to be commended for this. >> ed: yet most of the media has said, mr. chairman, that your republican memo was a dead end it proved nothing. here you have two big republicn senators putting their reputations on the line and saying, actually, no, you helped for crimes were committed. >> also the media has been ignoring the story for a long time and they continue to. we put the memo out, remember that senator grassley and senator graham had already said in a letter that was very, very similar to our memo. that finally, because our memo was declassified, it allowed their letter to be declassified. >> ed: the letter to the jus

mr. steele. hat because the associate deputy attorney general of the united states, mr. rohr, his wife worked for fusion gps. mr. comey knew it, when mr. comey would meet president-elect trump, i believe he called it salacious and something else. they used a salacious document. >> unverified. mark: unverified document, not just to get the first warrant but to extend it several times. do you know, mr. chairman, through the extensions, did they ever tell the fisa court the funding source for the dossier? >> no. they did not. and not only that, they used the word, very bizarre, they used the word in a footnote at the end of the warrant application, they say we speculate that this could be opposition research. i'm paraphrasing it. speculate. nobody was speculating anything. they knew who had paid for it. they knew it, they had the information, and they didn't provide it to the court. this is black and white, that the court was not told everything about this. and look, maybe a judge would say, hey, thi

it follows the eu's promise to retaliate if the us imposes tariffs on steel. mrion. and you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter. i'm @nkemifejika. hello, thanks forjoining me. our latest look at how the weather will pan out in the british isles for the next few days or so. the good news is the forthcoming week looks as though it will be nowhere near as brutal as the weather we have just experienced. having said that, it will tend to stay really rather unsettled. nothing unusual for the time of year. the area of low pressure driving the weather at the moment is in fact going to be with us for the rest of the weekend and on into the start of the forthcoming week. at least while that area of low pressure is around we are looking towards the atlantic, rather than towards the continent, scandinavia and siberia, where all of that cold weather came from that has affected so many so very badly in recent days. and the first signs of something a little milder is already there to be had across parts of the far south. not that much further north though.

after the announcement that donald trump wants impose tariffs on the import of aluminium and steel, mrnown to be in favour of free trade as opposed to protectionism, means there is a difference of opinion here. although he is not saying that in his short statement. from outside, it appears to be because of differences with the president and his inability to dissuade the president from taking this form of action. mr trump seems to be saying he is going ahead with the tariffs and saying a trade war is not such a bad thing. some in his party and the industry are worried. people are worried about it, and some close to the president. senior republicans have expressed grave doubts. bear in mind that this is not an election year and according to many analysts could backfire and result in job losses from affected industries. industries requiring those resources, job losses would hit hard. donald trump campaigned to create blue—collarjobs — they could be affected. if it happens in the next 6—8 months, perhaps people would retaliate at the ballot box. looking at the list of people who left the w

mr. steele and talked about your belief he was credible.ou take any steps to asses the credibility? answer by mr. simpson. i'm not going to get into sourcing information. without getting into naming the sources or anything like that, what steps did you take to verify? i'm going to decline to answer that question. question, why? answer, not by glen simpson, answer by simpson's lawyer, quote, this is a voluntary interview and in addition to that he wants to be careful to protect his sources. somebody has been killed already as a result of the publication of this dossier and no harm should come to anybody related to this honest work. somebody has been killed, that was nine hours into ten hours of testimony from august. that was the transcript that was released to the public in january thanks to diane feinste feinstein. here is jane mayer tonight at the new yorker, quote, in russia there were rumors of a preliminajustice taken place. his lawyer asserted somebody has been killed as a result of the publication of this dossier. mayer continues. wh

mr. steele who invented the trump dossier, he was mentioned, he ends up with a diplomatic passport in thesily wants to know why. that is interesting question. >> grassley is very independent investigator this guy has very shady past. this is valid question what changed, why did you change your mind? when grassley sinks his teeth into investigation he doesn't let go. david: no he doesn't. he is doggish about that. trade tariffs, very quickly the president came out surprised a lot of people with the announcement. is there any chance that he could moderate or tweak his opinion based on the blowblack that he is getting? >> yes, i think so. he is getting blowback from republicans. it is pretty intense. there is a chance he could moderate but there will have to be a lot of lobbying on that. david: bob cusack from "the hill." great to see you. thanks very much. >> thanks, david. melissa: touts an invincible arsenal? the bombshell announcement from vladmir putin and what it means for the rest of the world. hello. - hi. how's it going? - alright, how ya doing? - welcome! so, this is the all-new ch

mr. steele provided false information to the fbi and whether the fbi's representations to the court were in error. if steele lied to the fbi, and the fbi bought it, without seeking a second source, who then investigates the fbi's relationship with steele? >> well, look, i mean, clearly it's not going to end up being robert mueller in this investigation because mueller is someone who is obviously very well connected, at doj, being a former fbi director himself. it is interesting to think if a special counsel were to be appointed, who would be some of the possibilities? julie: that would be a great question. who would be? >> so totally removed from ever being connected to the department of justice that most of the top legal professionals in this country would already be disqualified from being able to hold that position just because, you know, almost everyone with the reputation in law enforcement in this country is connected to the department of justice in some way. someone with a large enough stature that could carry out being a second special counsel. it would be very difficult to try to

mr. steele may have committed a crime here.e told the british court that he shared the dossier with the world press. he told the fbi he never shared the information with media outlets. maria: right. >> what i want to know is did the fbi agents in question who are outliers in terms of the fbi , did they come up with an insurance policy to help guarantee an outcome of an election? if that's true if they were even thinking about doing that, that scares me as much as anything russia whose ever done. maria: well that is an incredible abuse of power do you think we'll see any accountability here senator? >> if we don't it will be a terrible day for the system. the department of justice cannot investigate itself. you're going to have to have somebody come in with fresh view of this, has nobody to reward, nobody to punish, the inspector general is limited institutional ly as to what he can do but i am really intent on having new eyes look at what happened to the department of justice and the fbi because they can't investigate themselve

mr. steele had associates in russia that could have easily compromised him, and we believe the fisa warrant process was abused and the reason we want a special counsel is crimes may have been committed. >> i call on us appointing a special counsel, a second one, to investigate the investigators. >> you're supposed to give the court the whole truth and nothing but the truth. i don't think they gave them the truth so this needs investigating. the only remedy is a second special counsel. >> the fbi and department of justice aren't going to be putting the handcuffs on themselves. >> sources telling us there is a very high probability that sessions in fact will act and appoint a second special counsel. >> well, he did not do that today. do you believe, congressman, the attorney general can survive in light of all that? >> i do. i've looked at a lot of the same evidence that these republicans are alleging, and there's just not a lot there in terms of the scandal, in terms of hillary clinton's e-mails. whether or not anything improper happened, it's been looked at repeatedly. when it comes to the

mr. steele had associates associates in russia that could have easily compromised him. we believe the fisa warrant process was abused. the reason we want a special counsel is i think crimes may have been committed. >> dana: we had the sequencing. run up there might be a call for special counsel. we did that last week. and two house members made a call for a second special counsel and thought senators have come forward with a letter and interviews. sequencing it so we build up to the pressure of getting the attorney general to announce a second special counsel. >> kimberly: special counsel sauce. it's almost boil. it's bubbling up to the top. so i think this looks like this is going somewhere. again. so that's going to be amazing. coming to an a block near you hotioned b hosted by the fi. >> dana: we have so much other good stuff to get to. >> kimberly: right? >> dana: remember the serial illegal immigrant charged with killing kate steinle in california? he is now saying the new charges brought against him are politically motivated. we'll talk about that next ♪ -if you t

we cannot conduct war without steel, and there something at stake here. and mr. cohn who left the administration this week, he was the head of goldman sachs, and that is a finance company. they don't care. and the theory is that they don't care p the steel comes from china or from russia, it is steel. well, those of us who are on the defense committee understand that this nation cannot conduct war without steel. domestically-made steel. so there is a defense industrial agency here, and so we have ratcheted down the steel production in this country to the bare minimum and we can't lose it. >> our guest for a half hour and if you want to ask her about decisions on trade and the trump administration and how it might affect other industries, you can do so along the lines of the democrats line or the republi n republicans line, and independents line as well. and if you want the to tweet us your responses and thoughts, you can do so at c-span wj. does it suggest though that because we do imports so much that the industry cannot produce as much steel as we need. >> well,

mr. steele was colluding with the russians -- >> do you think it's fair game to get incriminating evidence about your opponent from a foreign government? >> the idea that donald trump needed help from the russians to beat hillary clinton is an excuse. it's a conard, a fairy tale. i don't believe it ever happened. >> what did george papadopoulos plead guilty to then? >> well, that's an interesting question. both mr. papadopoulos and carter page appear to me to be volunteers on the trump campaign. i saw in the media reports that papadopoulos urged the campaign to meet with the russians. i also read that the campaign seems to have rejected that advice. >> it's been reported by some who have heard testimony from him and have seen some evidence that he apparently was told that the russians had democratic e-mails. >> i have no knowledge of that. i believe he was indicted for lying to the fbi. as i recall. >> who is randy credico. >> randy was a confirming source on july 12th of 2016, assange said in an interview that he had information on hillary and he would publish it. i knew that credico knew
