It gets to john mccain, john mccain puts it in his safe, gives it to me and i read it. In the first thing i thought was, oh, my god. This could be russian disinformation or they could have this on trump. If you read this information in the first thing you would think it is they got something on donald trump. Its stunning, its end at salacious and its a bunch of. Senator lindsey graham, chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee talking about the steele dossier, the focus of this Inspector Generals report and this hearing in washington. Your risk withere with chris wa. I think there is a lot of damaging information about the fisa warrants on the way was carried out, and it isnt just come up with this name of a
relatively low level fbi what lawyer, i just want to read you one statement in the Opening Statement. If we are deeply concerned of that basic and fundamental errors were made by three separate handpicked Investigative Teams on one of the most sensitive fbi investigations and that
house members are separated just by the east lawn of the capitol building much like a college campus with a central grass area. for members of those two bodies, it usually feels like an ocean separates the house and the senate. very few members outside of the leadership ever speak to members of the other body and house members tend to be left in bewilderment of the senate while senators feel the same way about the house. as congressional careers go, congressman pramila jayapal is still new at the job having been there for five years. by new i mean nancy pelosi has been there 34 years, check schumer first as a house member and then senator has been there for 40 years. senator lahey for example has been there for 47 years. so five years is still

average american citizens have where the government won t array the vast power against them and essentially ruin their lives? to me that the profound concern as a result of your investigation. thank you mr. chairman. picking up on that editorial comment, i ve been joining senator lahey and senator lee for years talking about the fisa court. you now have an ample record here, and in 2002 the fisa court identified more than 75 cases in which it was misled by the fbi. internal fbi in 2006 reveals dozens of inaccuracies and the list goes on and on. so let s have a fulsome conversation after this about the future of the pfizer cord and representations that are made to it. let me try if we can, to go through a few points. the chairman gave an uncharacteristic, flowery,
