memo aims to address. nunes memo was frpages, we understand schiff s memo is ten pages. key question now is what are the exact nature of the redactions made. there s some concern on the part of the democrats that white house would make remarks go beyond what was understandable in trying to protect terms and sources we ve never seen these warrant applications in public before. that s not actually included in either memo but the issue is whether the redactions might have been needed made might go beyond what they would be willing to accept. mike, appreciate the time on this saturday afternoon. thanks, david. california will be key in this year s midterm elections as democrats look to take back control of the u.s. house of representatives. currently the golden state is home to 39 democratic held seats and 14 held by republicans with more on democratic efforts to flip the house joined by msnbc s richard lui in san diego at this year s california democratic convention. richard, what

able to catch up here a little bit more on is what the schiff memo outlines is the fisa warrant here on carter page was not an attempt to spy on the trump campaign itself but that they were specifically interested in carter page and learning more about the contacts that he would have had with russian officials. and what s significant as i pointed out what i spoke to just a few moments ago, carter page told the intelligence committee himself that during the time in which the fisa court would have been while this warrant would have been on him, he traveled to russia and admitted to the committee he was meeting with key russian officials. so there certainly would have been evidence to both initially seek this application but also to renew it based on what carter page himself told the committee. mike, i don t know if you were able to hear the sound we ran a second ago from devin nunes. i wanted to get your thoughts about what he said essentially saying he wanted the democrats memo put
