monumental liesra from him durig this hearing today on fisa abuse that happened all day long in the senate. so what can we do to make sure this stuff doesn t happen again? and we don t want campaigns of either party targeted by members of the deep state. intel committee member chris stewart, he has a plan, and what punishments tonight we might be finding doled out, now that horowitz says this was back in the hands of the doj and fbi. former attorney general jeff sessions, interesting person to talk to tonight, has intriguing thoughts, and this is great, eric trump, just saw him in the green room, he is ready to go, okay? on how this impeachment struggle could be his father s finest hour, and why nancy pelosi made a colossal mistake with turning this over to schiff. and, okay, you know there s going to be a lot of humor in the show, because raymond arroyo is herein tonight. he will react time s person of the year, and we will offer our
introducing legislation today, congressman, but there were numerous fisa abuses. what do we do now to stop this from going forward? with the fisa courts are essential to our national security, but if so is protecting the constitutional rights of every american citizen, including supporters of presidentri trump there is no question that comey and others have used that power. you are exactly right, we have to fix it. if we don t fix it, don t reform it, conservatives like me won t vote to reauthorize it. my legislation is very simple, actually, and the american people understand it. it is not hard to get, it would reform andly take away some of that power and that potential abuse from director comeys and director brennans of the future. laura: let s talk about exculpatory information. we saw through this process, after this investigation got going, congressman, there were multiple instances where the targets of investigation or
as a judge, you can sanction the attorneys who made these representations before your court. i would like to hear from the fisa judge himself or herself in this instance, but congressman, just one example this is how the media spun one particular finding in the horowitz report. watch. michael horowitz said under oath that he found no political bias. there was no political bias.r no evidence of political bias and how they launched the investigation. no evidence of political bias by the fbi opening this thing. laura: none of them obviously read the report. congressman, someone who did to senator mike lee. heow put horowitz on the spot. you stated several times today you did not find documentary testimonial evidence of bias to influence the fbi s decision to conduct these operations. it s not the lack of evidence t that you are talking about, itself evidence of bias? we weren t in a position with the evidence we had, to
people of interest, whatever you wantre to call them produced themselves information that would have indicated this theory they were somehow working with edthe russians was false. but that was withheld during the process. absolutely. look, there were 17 incidents where the information wasn t given and it should have been. the legislation we are proposing is very simple, it creates an advocate, someone who come if there is a u.s. person for the fisa court,eo it requires the fa court have an advocate that would protect that person s rights. it provides for a transcript. you know, one of the things, when you read the fisa application, it begs so many questions, and he wondered, did the judges ask these very obvious things? i m not an attorney, but i ve read this thing i don t know how many times. even not an attorney, there so many laura: mind-numbing. did the judges actually ask these questions? we don t know because there is no transcript. laura: why aren t the fisa judges i
jumped out at you as the most egregious or important? one of the most shocking things wast that a lawyer there who prepared and was involved in writing the fisa warrant apparently, flatly changed an email to further his agenda. this is unbelievable, and it certainly needs toto be investigatedis thoroughly. it could very well be a crime. laura: you re talking but the carter page information, that hee did work as an intel sourceca for the government? that information was basically excised, not included, deleted. well, it was altered, as i understand it laura: from the email. what i would say about that in my experience, 15 years as a federal prosecutor, i ve never seen anything like that. i think that is a stunning development in the seriousness of a fisa warrant, involving a presidential campaign.
