you had a gop congressman who, you know, brought the witnesses family into it. then you had a democratic congressman that actually offered to get a purple heart for what mr. strzok endured. i m going to stipulate something here. i ve been a cautious skeptic, as you know, of the russia investigation from its onset. but i also desperately, desperately believe that it s not a witch hunt, that the people that are working the investigation, to mr. strzok s point, there are so many layers of redundancies. they re doing their job. let it commence. let it be completed. however, i do believe that the i.g. did a great job in putting together his report. and in his report, he stated that there was no material acts conducted that they could determine throughout the investigation of mr. strzok, mr. mccabe, mr. comey, and all the upper echelon senior exclusives related to the hillary clinton case as well as the russia collusion case and the gop said that s bunk, jimmy, and they ll prove it. did
sir, it is as frustrating to me as it is to you. i can tell you, sir, i would love you know what, agent strzok? mr. chairman, may the witness be permitted to answer? the gentleman will suspend. if it s so frustrating, answer the question. if you ll allow him to, i m sure he will. he has never answered the question. stop interrupting him. we re showing you the highlights, but i have to tell you this was unique what we saw today, the level of disarray, the level of dysfunction on really all sides. a standout moment, though. a republican made trump s case that the probe is a witch hunt by attacking strzok as a philanderer. not a trace of irony on his face. listen to this. i can t help but wonder when i see you looking there with a little smirk, how many times did you look so innocent into your wife s eye and lie to her about oh, mr. chairman. now, i just want to emphasize
let s begin with what donald trump tweeted out on the russia collusion case, they had nothing to do with meddling in the election. where is the dnc server? why didn t james comey and the fbi agents examine it, why isn t hillary russia being looks at? so many questions, so much corruption. as was evidenced yesterday in the hearing with ray and rosenstein, this is taking front and center in the united states. a lot of controversy involving the russia investigation. do you think that will overshadow this particular meeting taking place on july 16th. number one he s not stupid, number 2 he is in new york and put those together and the president knows that his relationship with russia and this investigation are so politically charged and it is a button he can push whenever he
misconduct. we need to correct errors and deter future violations. dana: catherine herridge is live on capitol hill. the. could take the stage at any moment. i might have to cut you off. tell me about congress attempts in trying to get more documents from the doj and the fbi. will it be successful this time? dana, the big development in the last 90 minutes is the house has voted in favor of this nonbinding resolution calling on rod rosenstein, who is testifying at this hour, to provide the remaining documents that are under subpoena, including documents about intelligence activities by the fbi prior to july 2016, which is when the russia collusion case officially opened. that vote was 226 in favor to 183. let s listen to one of the fiery exchanges from earlier today. now, the justice department had previously provided texts from that date. they included the messages we
something significant could come of it. we don t know how this influenced the clinton investigation or how it ultimately influenced the trump investigation in the russia collusion case. you can see where some of his testimony might be formative in what the ultimate conclusions here of this episode will be. marie: melissa, we talked out the fact that there is a closed hearing today. so each side will come out and talk about it in different ways. you have advocated for much more openness on this. let the american people get answers to the questions. and so eventually that what has to happen? melissa: i did hear a report there will be a transcript from this. i wonder how much of that we will be able to see or how much is redacted. we don t want them to disclose the sources and the methods but the things shown so far, before they said it was the sources and meths have been an embarrassment. i think it s just, it s been a frightening time for people in terms of what the f.b.i. and
