carter page. one step, two-step, page and then the trump campaign transition and as attorney general barr said deep into the trunk presidency, he signed that application purity sign three of them ultimately. he swore that the material provided was true and accurate on the top of a pfizer application it said verify and it was unverifiable, the overwhelming majority of information was hillary clinton dirty dossier. that was the first of many repulsive lies the application we now know relied on a single source, secondhand information from christopher steele paid by the clinton campaign and the dnc. and comey s fisa application admitted what they knew that clinton paid for the material. and it also admitted the material was not verified were cooperated. oh, well, comey fisa application admitted christopher steele political bias against the
ukraine, all of these, maybe australia, all of these other people involved in our elections to try to defeat donald trump. pretty outrageous. sean: que no, jason chaffetz you been right from the beginning. you were the one that told me thahorowitz would do a good jobt how you didn t see the political motives, you got to remember he did refer comey, mccabe, strzok, page, and from horowitz but both durham and ag barr pointed out he can only work in the bubble of the confines of the doj and the fbi. he couldn t go outside of the purview. they have gone outside of that purview and very strongly said that to us, but everything we have been saying dirty dossier, bought and paid for, unverifiable, used as basically the whole fisa application. everything we said is true.
it, bulk of the fisa application deals with the dossier. why? that is not my recollection, brett. i don t know if the fisa application was released. my recollection was it was part of mosaic facts that were laid before the fisa judge to obtain a fisa warrant. there was a lot more than the dossier and fisa application? meant additional material about page and why an age in a foreign power. and the dossier was part of that, but was not a lipid or a critical part of it to my recollection. sean: a critical part, basically it was everything. another lie. the inspector general finding the dirty dossier was that the central and east central essential piece of the fisa application. just like any liar, he comey cannot come to truth. you don t see a difference of a broader mosaic and played an
responsibility as impossibility reaching work done at lower level. chris: then there is, the worst misconduct. in august of 2016, just two weeks into the investigation the cia tells the fbi that it actually has a relationship with carter page. that when he has these meetings with the russians, he actually goes back and tells the cia about it but you never tell the fisa court that. in fact, in 2017, an fbi lawyer doctors a document, the cia said, oh, carter page he is a source and he puts in the application, he is not a source. i take issue, i ll answer the question, one of the predications of your question, the inspector general did not find misconduct by any fbi people. he found mistakes. chris: that is not true. in the case of kevin clients smith he referred it for criminal investigation. that is not been resolved. lawyer changing email to partner on the time. chris: you make it sound like it
allowed you to surveil carter page who was a former foreign policy advisor to the trump campaign. again, here is what you said about the fisa process and what the inspector general horowitz said this week. take a look. total confidence that the fisa process was followed and that the entire case was handled in a thoughtful, responsible way by doj and the fbi. we identified significant inaccuracies and omissions in each of the four applications. seven in the first application, and a total of 17 by the final renewal application. chris: 17 significant errors in the fisa process and you say that it was handled in a thoughtful and appropriate way. he is right. i was wrong. i was overconfident in the procedures that the fbi and justice had built over 20 years. i thought they were robust enough. it is incredible hard to get a nice sat i was overconfident in those. he was right, there was real sloppiness. 17 things that either should have been in the applications or
