government. laura: your reaction. i enjoy it. bring it on. the more they do, the more the attack, the more we know we are over the target. they cannot deny, the major point of the memo was to say the dossier was used in this application. it made up the bulk of the fisa. even with the redactions, you can see that s the case. laura: i want to ask you about that particular part. let s quote from david kris on the warrant application on the website. he said we can see the footnote disclosing steele s possible bias takes up more than a full page in the applications. there is literally no way the fisa court could have missed it. the fbi gave the court enough information to evaluate steele s credibility. and that basic point is being repeated quite often. by the left. one of the things you have to realize now with the press.
laura: and they did not say that why? i believe because that s crazy. can you imagine? do we live in a country today, i guess we do actually live in a country because this actually did happen where we can go hire private former contractors to go out and in this case, a former british agent, to go dig up dirt on your opponent, take it in the fbi and doj that you control, feed it into them so they can open up a counterintelligence investigation without any defense there, without any grand jury, and go get your communications. look, that s why they wanted to have carter page. that s why they wanted all of his electronic communications. i keep hearing the argument that it wasn t until after he was off the campaign. in the fisa application itself it says they believe he is a guy who s running this collusion effort. clearly they think he is still involved in the campaign and clearly this guy had his rights abused. laura: marco rubio made the point. let s watch.
warrant damaged nunes credible. try to sort it all out? let s bring in congressman devin nunes himself. thanks for being here. good to be here. laura: first interview since this came out. what do you think? we are happy it came out. we have been fighting for this for months. the fisa application and the renewals put out for the public to see. there are still a lot of redactions. we would like for those to be unredacted so that the american public has a chance to see this in full transparency. laura: let s watch some this is just a sliver of the criticism you ve received it s nothing new for you but over the weekend, this was released. let s watch. wrote this entire memo to mislead the american public without having read the fisa application. they were lying when they said that the fisa judges were fooled because they were not told that part of the base of the application. devin nunes i think is a useful idiot for the russian
focusing on journalists who go through the facts and account for what happened and what was predicted. i think they might ve been referring to you here. let s watch. there is a whole amen chorus out there arguing with donald trump, and that s what s fueling this. it s not just trump and his tweets. his fox news, the daily caller, there s a whole cadre of journalists. who are essentially don t use that term. they re not journalists if they re doing that. laura: byron. they re even even going after people like you and andy mccarthy. even if they don t name you. i just want to stress here that what i did here is, the nunes memo came out in february and there was a lot of argument about whether it misrepresented what was in the fisa warrant application. now we have the application. a lot of redacted parts. we can t talk about it but we can compare it to what the nunes memo said.
