namesake stroke i did well done page a media strategy interesting now the attorneys representing peter struck say it's not what it sounds like it's actually simply a strategy for stopping the leaking of an authorized information from the administration but the f.b.i. has been caught leaking information to reporters before they've been caught red handed let's not forget that former f.b.i. director james comey actually made it to the senate intelligence committee that he leaked information about a conversation he had with donald trump to a reporter i understood this to be my recollection recorded of my conversation with the president as a private citizen i felt free to share that sort of very important to get it out and there's james comey is second in command andrew mccabe now he also got the can he was fired for leaking information to the wall street journal about the clinton foundation investigation so is this leaking strategy actually intentional in hurting the administration there's certainly some information that points in that direction you have the worst case scenario where the governme

repeatedly for two years if there were some kind of collusion would have been leaked by now by peter struck at least a page you know well i mean the are you with the trump is crazy i mean i think most of it there was not an impeachable offense i think most of his voters knew he was crazy when they were he elected him and that's part of the reason why they voted for. but. i don't see that there's going to be any immediate against drum because it's already been. proven in fear and in this. deep state or steady state anonymous editorial the new york times that trump is powerless i mean trouble said we're going to pull all of our troops out of syria it was a stupid thing we're supporting terrorists and obama never should have got involved and suddenly we're doubling down we're net we're have an indefinite military presence in syria were openly doing military drills in the last week with rebels on the. changes visit why did he submit because he knows he can't fight them or he has different battles he wants to fight i think partly it's because he could be convinced by the last person he talked to

well he ordered that the texts between lisa page and peter struck be put in the public domain those are not classified documents and you know they were text on government you know handheld devices and computers so hopefully they didn't have any classified documents on them because if they did then those two people involved they would be in a lot of trouble and then he ordered twenty one pages of the files application one particular price affleck application in june of two thousand and seven summer showing the regions of the country that would be negatively impacted if china you know impose tariffs that seem to be political if that's the case it would be a violation of world trade organization rules but i think with this whole tariff issue the new york times had a really interesting piece the headline was that china used to be tough on trade but is basically losing a lot of its leverage china just announced this week that they're going to impose tariffs on sixty billion dollars worth of u.s. goods and basically that maxes out they won't have any more goods to put tariffs on ironically be

you know gregory the thing that you know when i look at you know when these revelations about peter struck in lisa page in the d.o.j. and. komi clapper brennan you know it's not that you can like or dislike these people that's fine if you do but i've been looking at what they've been doing and they're destroying institutions and they're destroying trust in the system that the founders and i think you know go look at that the federalist papers it should be required reading it's an amazing book it's amazing what they thought of and i see these people they're trashing it they're shredding it because of hatred and petty politics go ahead gregory it's more than hatred and petty politics it's about protecting rights bowls. people in areas with their in government on no off tend to want to keep the stated current status quo which is about their jobs and what they what it takes to keep their job they don't care about ideology we have moved because of our wealth into it entirely materialistic society and what you see in the rules of society is actually less materialistic less concerned with the lat

the house republican suggesting that texts between former fbi officials peter struck and lisa page --r strzok and lisa page point to what he calls a media leak strategy. more from washington. >> reporter: good morning. for the past several months, something of a pattern has started to develop here as republican lawmakers uncover a text exchange between these two former officials. the president tweets out a suggestion that the fix is in at the fbi, and this latest controversy appears to be no exception. congressman mark meadows has now seized upon a text exchange from strzok to page in april of 2017 where he says to her, "i want to talk to you about media leak strategy with doj." the timing is something that the congressman finds troubling because it happens to fall during the exact period of time when the "washington post" and other outlets publishing stories about the fbi's surveillance of former trump adviser carter page. strzok's attorney tells me it has nothing to do with that, and instead it was about a department-wide initiative to stop elections to the media. a source close to

messages relating to the russia investigation without redaction of james comey, andrew mccabe, peter strucklisa page and bruce ohr. put another way, this is a way to make public some private issues just days before the election. it comes on the same day we know they are ready to sentence michael flynn. he's been cooperating ever since. with us to talk about all of t daniel goldman, a former assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york. i'll get straight to the point. how big a deal is this? >> brian, i think this is the most egregious and flagrant, obstructive conduct that the president has ever exercised since he became president. i think in many respects, it may be worse than firing jim comey, and here's why. the president is under investigation. he absolutely has the power to declassify documents, but what he is doing here is he is declassifying documents related to an ongoing confidential investigation into himself and his family. so it's kind of a dual-pronged, improper abuse and attack on the rule of law. because, first of all, it would be wrong under any circumstance

in the lead up to the election the sloppiness and what we have seen investigated whether it's peter strucktacks, the behavior of james comey, certainly of mccabe, all of these individuals were behaving in a manner that if you look at that at a glance, it's clearly problematic. for some reason, they felt it wouldn't be an issue. they felt they could behave in this manner probably because i thought hillary was going to win. it tells you they're comfortable with this framework. that tells you it's a deep-seated and long-term way of operating. in a lot of ways it confirms the importance and results of the 2016 election. the nature of how the establishment was handled has to change. we have to change out the individuals running it. more than just the president. it's a long-term framework. the conversation is important, that kimberly can write this article and have it be read and we can have this conversation. this goes to social media aspect which will be addressing as a nation as a larger problem regarding media. i don't think it is going to happen within this context of this investigation. it

wants a number of documents related to the fisa application for carter page, text messages between peter struckas james comey released. and i want to read to you what the president said when he was asked about his long-running feud with the fbi and what some of the motivation might be. he said i hope to put this up as a crowning achievement to expose something that's a cancer in our country. the president clearly wants to be able to show that the russia investigation was all a political hoax and that there are bad actors working in the fbi. we'll see what the documents actually show. >> and the justice department, the fbi are working with the director of national intelligence to prepare new declassified versions of all of this. how heavily redacted will the documents be. we're showing some highly redacted. >> we're wait ing ing to see. it's going to be a back and forth that's between the department of justice and the officer of the director of national intelligence about taking some of the documents already out there. maybe putting up less redacted versions and taking some of the documents and

president trump has ordered everything from had russia investigation from james comey, andrew mccabe, peter struckce ohr. and also 21 additional pages of the secret fisa application. congressman, i don't even know how to -- i don't even know how to form a question almost about this because it's so unprecedented and so strange in the middle of an investigation the fbi is ordered to make public its own information inside an investigation. is this the president trying to help all of the potential witnesses in the investigation and give them ways of getting through any possible interviews with robert mueller? >> well, i think it's first and foremost a way of donald trump helping his own defense, providing materials to his own defense team. he's no doubt conferred to his loan lawyers what information would be youthful to you, confirmed with rudy giuliani and his own allies in congress. yesterday quite unexpectedly out of the blue the chairman of the house intel committee devin nunes says he's going to release the transcript of the interviews. we have pressed them and they have refused despite earlier p

peter struck, obstruction of justice. tampering with evidence, lying to congress. i would be here all night if i started with hillary clinton and what she could be started charged with. all federal crimes, he is the shell. last week i said i was wild. the guy said i stand for justice mr. president. you don't stand for anything. you are preventing people from seeing justice done it's people who disrespect the law so, you say why doesn't donald trump fire him. last week, he said i won't fire him before the midterm. i don't know what it says to you, but it says something to me. but i think we have to win the midterms. these people need to be punished, but they probably won't be. the only way for you to get justice is to vote in 2018. [applause] >> judge, thank you for coming out. >> i'm in the cheap seats. two points, the first, you are a rockstar. [applause] [applause] the second point, if you were attorney general, what would be your battle plan for correcting the injustices? >> it's simple. the first thing i would do is revoke the immunity given to all the dirtbags

officials that he is talking about peter struck lisa page others that donald trump and many of supporters believe certainly have a biased view against the president and some of those attacks were during that that were exchanged between those two f.b.i. officials certainly would indicate that but at the same time when it comes to the russian vest a question where does that leave it well many people scratching their heads and it gets a little bit into some legal language that would make this a difficult one to nail down in terms of who would oversee this of rod rosenstein is fired or whether he resigns but the bottom line is in the chain of command to the partment of justice it would be the solicitor general who would then be the next highest ranking official potentially to oversee that but again what many people fear is that this could be sort of a pivotal turning point much like we saw in the nixon presidency that saturday night massacre where two department of justice officials resigned because they did not want to fire the special prosecutor overseeing the watergate investigation many p

representative: is the one that said peter struck -- peter struck -- should get a purple heart and thats so disgraceful i'm surprised you even have him on anymore. one last thing is on brian's on sundaye had -- night and he touched on something up that i believed in for a long time, that they are no longer journalists, there are people who are commentators and that just seems like it is so prevalent. c-span is the only place where you can get any true information. host: that is bob in texas. host: pedro, just about 15 minutes until that hearing gathers -- dabbles in -- gavels in. hasstine blasey ford arrived and is in the dirksen building. we have been monitoring the twitter feeds of judiciary committee members. hatch tweeting out about his op-ed he wrote in the washington examiner talking about the stakes of this hearing, knowing that without corroborating evidence or witnesses, senators must establish their own threshold between ford's accusations and kavanaugh's denials. this is the democratic ranking member of the committee, dianne nine: 30, just after this morning saying judge kava

if you look at the fbi statements with peter struck and his lover lisa page, if you look at all the things i have done, the things that have gone on in the fbi, if you look at mccabe taking $700,000 from a hillary clinton pac run by her best friend in the world, and he gives them hundreds of thousands in charge, and he is of her campaign and her wife is getting all this money to run -- she lost -- what is going on? if you look at the horrible statements, like, way to go, page. great story you put into a newspaper. now we will go investigate that group. it's terrible. we have caught people doing things that are terrible. i would much prefer keeping rod rosenstein. much prefer. many people say i have the right to absolutely fire him. he says he didn't say it. nobody in this room believes it. i was with mike pompeo before. we were dealing at a very high level with japan. and i was saying things that nobody in the room even understood. i said them a long time ago, and i was right. he said, that is not the 25th amendment i am looking at. i think i can say that. >> so you do not think anyone in

president trump ordered the release odd unredacted text messages of andrew mccabe, peter struck, james commy, as well as orr. the white house said the order was made at the request of a number of committees of congress and for reasons of transparency. the justice department said it has begun. but a u.s. official with direct knowledge told nbc news that the agencies would not be able to conduct a damage assessment because there are too many of them. joe. >> matt, let me bring in right now matt miller. you have, first of all, of course, the fbi not wanting to release, the justice department hasn't wanted it to release. the director of national intelligence didn't want it released. you have sources and methods that are highly likely to be exposed which the president was warned about. and you have one of the more highly classified programs in the united states of america, the courts, that now we're going to allow our enemies to see exactly how we do things as it pertains to the pfizer corp. most fisa judges won't even let you know that they're a fisa judge. it's been that secret all that l

if you recall the text messages to between peter struck and lisa page, who worked on the mueller probe reflects a bias that would taint any evidence collected. within the body of investigations going on, there are various inspector general's. what do you think of their effort looking into it and how much value do you place on that? guest: there are 2 tracks. the first if the fbi had an inappropriate media leaking where instead of collecting evidence and prosecutorial decisions, people at the fbi were influencing public opinion by getting information into press stories. the other is when we look at the applications for intelligence collection, it appears the fbi would leak stories and site those stories to validate other investigative work. that is circular logic setting up a totality where something is merely because it is. the second track is there may have been media companies inappropriately providing tickets to concerts and sporting events, dinners, and gratuities to people who work at the fbi in order to get the leaks, in order to have stories and information. the ecosystem of cor

. >> melissa: is interesting the point you make about trust because as i look at this, what struck me is petertrzok writes well done, paige talking about the two negative articles about carter page. they did this on april 12th and on april 11th is when the story came out. >> marie: a million things could've happened in those 24 hours. >> melissa: they seem to have little faith in the system. maybe you can speak to that, the idea that they felt like it seems that they needed to leak information, the russia probe was going on, you have the special counsel, but they feel so worried about stuff coming out that in spite of their own work on their own departments, they don't feel like their department can get it done, that they have to leak to the press. >> marie: i'm not sure we can read all that from the cryptic text from two years ago that we have no context for. i'm not defending them because i don't know but their attorneys as this was a strategy to stop leaks and lisa page and peter strzok knew much more about the investigation into donald trump and his campaign that never was reported before

mainstream journalism and an example of maybe counter to the peter baker example that ran in the times not too, too long ago that really struck me as really kind of, so you remember the really sad story going on in nigeria about boka haron, trained to become suicide bombers, managed to escape, and new york times reporter met with them and, you know, told their story of -- of, you know, what happened to them in custody and how they escaped and so on, she's writing the story and she says, it's kind of the first-person account of this that i know as reporter i shouldn't take sides but i believe that these young women were heros and i thought, shouldn't take sides? you have to apologize for thinking that these 18 young women victims who managed to escape and avoid blowing themselves up and killing hundreds of people, you need to apologize to thinking that they are better than their captors and to me that crystallized some of what we are saying. i mean, of course, perspective is -- getting everybody's perspective tells a story, tells long form, you know, journalistic story or the book, but i think the kind of norm in journalism dn

what struck me about the story, i was just learning it as i was sitting here, only mccabe? really? lou: well, let's turn to, if we may, the issue of evidence that peter strzok, lisa page, mccabe, wiseman, all knew about bruce orr and his wife nelly who was working at fusion gps. and they knew about it before, before the fisa applications were even filed. does that strike you as surprising or can anything surprise any of us after what we have witnessed here in corruption in washington? >> well, no, lowd it doesn't surprise me at all. it's consistent with what is coming out bit by bit but very slowly. i want to go to the congressman's call for declassification of fisa. let's be very clear about what happened here. carter page was the target of the obama administration wanting to get a leg in to the trump campaign. lou: right. >> and that's what it was all about. and they used carter page -- as they said, power was abused and the fisa court was lied to. they used carter page by lying to the fisa court. and just real quickly, in 2013 carter page was an asset, an fbi asset and helped the fbi indict a russian spy. when they're applying for the surveillance
