administration officials spying on former trump advisor carter page. you were the person who put that on the map, charges that you are doing the bidding of the president, all kinds of attacks, and now today we see big republican senators like lindsey graham and chuck grassley running with it and saying that you helped show that crimes were committed. watch. the steel dossier was paid for by the democratic party, fusion gps, mr. steele had associates that could have easily compromised him, and we believe the fisa warrant process was 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
russian probe. before special counsel, robert mueller got involved. in consult working in a team and a want to emphasize team, giving the inspector general to give him the tools he needs to get all the information and we sent 30 questions we want investigated. we believe the fisa warrant process was abused and the reason we want it is crimes were committed. sandra: and we have tom dupree with us. i m not sure a majority of republican senators are calling for a special second counsel. i think the question is whether the inspector general has the tools he needs to conduct the investigation. a sperl counsel has a far more robust set of tools he can use to talk to former doj employees
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
