okay, was this just a series of unfortunate coincidences or is this action by the surveillance state and i will tell you when you look at what has happened, spying on carter page and george papadopoulos, when you look at adam schiff going after devon nunez s phone records and journalists phone records and he is sitting on all these pages of people s phone records people are saying if they can do it to them they can do it to me. a series of unfortunate coincidences, they think this isn t the surveillance state and the swamp at work. what is your question for horwitz? i want to know who it was that steel got the information from. the information to what it was based upon. wednesday, we can t wait, it
i m satisfied it came out. i m also satisfied that durham and barr disagreed with horwitz, they had a much broader protocol and powers to operate under so you can expect them no more than what horwitz would know. martha: it s a broader justification in michael horowitz could look at inspector general and current employees of the department of justice. a lot of them have left and a lot of them work at under different agencies. you re going to be one of the people who questions michael horwitz on wednesday when we watch that. what are you going to ask him? what s on your minds tonight? i m going to follow up on this predicate thing you ve already talked about and durham talked about the find or how exactly how narrow he had to be in that way or was he just trying to be a nice guy or was
astounding to me they thought they could get by with us and were not going to be called into account and no one was going to be prosecuted. shannon: this is what james comey had to say in reaction. the horwitz report is not only moving the goal posts but the stadium and we will focus on durham and when that doesn t produce what they want they will focus on something else. it won t end until this president is out of office. he needs to burn the fbi down because it s culture is committed to the rule of law, the opposite of everything he stands for. they say this report does not outline what the president claims, witchhunt or hoax and if you re looking to put hoax on the durham report which will come out, which has a broader net that he can throw out investigating this, essentially trying to make an excuse but not finding what republicans hope to find. jim comey doesn t understand his people look at this and say
report, committed exculpatory facts from their filing and suppress information negating reliability of their principal source. that isn t the headline we got when this broke today. know it isn t because the opening lines that there was no demonstration of a political motivation is an important conclusion michael horwitz reached but when you take the report as a whole it is extraordinarily damning and troubling. a number of judgments were called seriously into question. one of the things that should disturb everyone is the lack of candor with the court in terms of exculpatory information. the professional duty any officer of the court has, especially the fbi, department of justice and moral and
got caught red-handed. both sides on capitol hill took similar approaches, democrats narrowly focusing on the special issue of political bias inside the fbi against donald trump. this report conclusively debunks the basis conspiracy that the investigation into mister trump s campaign and its ties to russia originated with political bias. republicans say the litany of mistakes and omissions call everything into question. the report shows the fisa should never have been obtained. if you don t have a russia investigation you can t knock out the president at the time. this is far from over. horwitz testifies wednesday, wrapping up his investigation and focusing on the two gentleman on the right-hand side of your screen, john durham continues to look into the
