they ve done something tricky, they embedded into their memo sources and methods. as bad as some of us would want to release that immediately it has to undergo the same process so we don t put people in danger. their claims should be deemed so uncredible. remember days ago when democrats were saying if we release the republican memo people will be in danger, blood will be on the hands of devin nunes and the republicans. i think the american people can see how outrageous those claims were. this is information we need. shannon: i ve read the memo myself. people can do it and decide whether or not there s something in there. it seems like something you would reed in a newspaper article or a first year law class. it wouldn t live up to those claims. that does raise some questions. i want to reed a letter from top democrats in house and senate to the president today saying this: director and the department of
former secretary of state john kerry, i can see vince smiling about this. it says the nunes memo is dangerous, ugly and an assault on the institutions of our country. i lived through watergate, nixon, america pays a steep price: vince, today i thought it was interesting that chairman nunes said this was only phase 1, this memo you got today. our next move is looking at the state department and who role they may have played. you just remember, think back to the conclusion of the election, you had democrats questioning the fbi and the role it played in making hillary clinton lose the election because james comey was going out in public and saying things in an unconventional manner
how much the judge knew about the extent of mr. steele s employment affiliation in terms of who was he working for? now we know he knew some of the information. how much detail was provided is certainly a matter of concern. nothing in the memo truly got into the details because we have a summary, not the full application. shannon: with that in mind, we ve got to go. i want to ask you yes or no do you think the fisa application should object would ever go public? ken? yes, part of it. at least part of it has got to become part of it just to clear the air. shannon: bradley, ken thank you for lending us your legal expertise. former trump campaign carter page is the guy. he s taking yahoo news and the huffington post to court. why he says today s court bolsters those claims against those entities. our legal shawn evans: it s 6 am. 40 million americans are waking up to a gillette shave. and at our factory in boston,
the entire house of representatives for a vote. shannon: loren blanchard live for us tonight in dc. thank you. our next guest says what he s seen proves he s been right all along, it s built on congressman, great to see you tonight. good to see you shannon. let s talk about some of the reaction today. this is from richard house, a tweet from him. the it says: the memo fails to discredit the substance of the case or deal with other justifications for monitoring page. are we only hearing part of the story in this memo? absolutely not. you had a circumstance here where fisa warrants were reauthorized based on faulty information. this dossier was so uncredible they had to have the yahoo news article planted by christopher
whether you agree with most of it or you don t it had to have the fbi wondering what is it with carter page? he keeps coming back up on the radar. now we have the papadopoulos situation. it was a completely valid thing as a law enforcement officer. as a person who has authorized these search warrants and my last point, what amazes me that i love about this story is finally as a former civil rights litigator arguing against police brutality usually with black and brown people, people are finally now concerned about the constitutional rights of individuals and that s a good thing. it s interesting you bring up papadopoulos, it s number five in the memo. papadopoulos had nothing to do with page. there was no association, no conspiracy, and it shouldn t have been used in the warrant against him. they were both working for the trump campaign. shannon: oh boy. volunteers or associated at some point. thank you both. night court is over. time for one of the most important stories of the
