After the release of a disputed memo attacking the fbi, now lawmakers from his own party are pushing back against him and that claim. Al also as the president praises the memo, hes targeting the top democrat of the House Intelligence Committee, accusing him of lies and leaks. As the clock ticks to another Government Shutdown, the president with a new rejection and a new ultimatum over the fate of dreamers. All that coming up, but right now republican lawmakers refuting trumps claim that hes been vindicated in the russian probe. Several gop lawmakers are are pushing back on the president s assertion that a partisan memo vindicates him. Some prominent republicans say the memo does nothing to undermine the special counsel Robert Muellers investigation. The dossier has nothing to do with the meeting at trump tower. The dossier has nothing to do with an email sent by cambridge analytica. The dossier has nothing to do with George Papadopoulos meeting in great britain. It also doesnt have any
Civil liberties of americans and taking sides in the political contests. You cant trust a government that would do that and Many Americans dont. Thats a disaster in a democracy where trust is key. Transparency is the only antidote to that. Release all documents and let us decide what they mean. Maybe that will make us trust the government again. Democrats disagree. Last week Party Leaders and the media were yelling at us about how releasing the nunes memo would constitute a deadly threat to america. Then the memo came out. Whatever you think of the mems conclusions, you have to concede there was not a single thing in there you should not have been allowed to see. No classified weapons discussed or names of secret agents revealed. Democrats didnt want it released because it might embarrass them. We spoke to a california congressman a member of the House Intelligence Committee. None of this should have been secret. Why did you fight to keep it hidden . He didnt answer that. He accused of
That would be Rod Rosenstein. The memo is being used by the president to smear the fbi and Justice Department. I think its terrible. You want to know the truth . I think its a disgrace whats going on in this country. I think its a disgrace. The memo was sent to congress, it was declassified. Congress will do whatever theyre going to do. But i think its a disgrace whats happening in our country. And when you look at that, and you see that and so many other things, whats going on, a lot of people should be ashamed of themselves, and much worse than that. So, i sent it over to congress. They will do what they are going to do, whatever they do is fine. It was declassified. And lets see what happens. But a lot of people should be ashamed. Thank you very much. Are you not concerned the fbi thank you very much. [ inaudible ]. You figure that one out. Well get to that, which is a disgrace later. But a former top intelligence official under democratic and republican president s telling me today
Over the over the top. I dont believe that, you know, them looking into carter page means they were spying on the campaign. If the performance that we had in helsinki took place before those applications were filed, i think that whole interchange with putin would have been a central exhibit in the fisa applications. If you asked the fbi today, how much of the dossier on trump has been verified, almost none of it. But you say mostly, not entirely. Therefore, was the surveillance justified . No, not at all, in my view. If the dossier is the reason you issued the warrant, it is a bunch of garbage. The dossier has proven to be a bunch of garbage. We begin with carter page, the onetime Trump Campaign adviser, denying he was a russian agent, following the release of previously classified documents related to a 2016 fbi wiretap. You did advise the kremlin back in 2013 or 2012, somewhere in there. Jake, thats its really spin. I mean, i i sat in on some meetings, but, you know, to call me an ad
Who ford claims was there a that night. So that is the sum total of what we know and its still a matter of she said, they said. Without a lot more evidence its hard for anyone to prove anything. But that has not stopped leading democrats from reaching a firm conclusion in this case. How do they know for sure what happened 36 years ago . Because Brett Kavanaugh is a man and therefore he is guilty. All men are guilty. Its the y chromosome. Watch as a hawaii and noted geneticist maisie romo describes it. Not only to women like dr. Dr. Ford who come forward, it need to be heard, but they need to be believed. Guess who is perpetuating all of these actions . Bel its the men in this country. And i want to say to the men in this country, just shut up and step up, do the right thing for a change. Tucker did you catch that, its not just Brett Kavanaugh who is guilty, its the men of this country. Every single one of them because they are men. Christine ford meanwhile is telling the truth because
