will continue to do its work in a fair and impartial manner. according to the law and constitution. the back drop to this drama is on tuesday, sessions told reporters that the inspector general will deal with the allegations outlined in the house intelligence committee republican memo. the so-called nunes memo outlining surveillance abuses by the fbi surveilling carter page. the former trump associate. he said he would make sure that the inspector general would make sure the process was carried out appropriately. that was clearly not good enough for the president who took direct aim at the inspector general. calling him a so-called obama guy. the real question now is what does this statement from the attorney general mean for his future at the department and whether it has any affect on how the president treats him? dave, christine. thank you, laura. the president and attorney
released over the weekend, finally, are you satisfied with that redacted version? did it prove in your estimation that the fbi did not abuse their power by surveilling carter page? it s the memo we never wanted out there in the first place. but when the republicans put out their falsities to undermine the fbi, there was a responsibility to tell the american people the truth. of course we d want everything to be out there that s relevant. but we worked with the department of justice, something that they weren t willing to do. i think the picture is quite clear. the fisa application had a arsenal of evidence on carter page. the actual russia investigation began well before carter page landed their radar because george papadopoulos was in london receiving and being previewed information that russians had on hillary clinton. which would later be anonymously disseminated. so i think it s time to move on. let s start getting witnesses back in the chair. as i mentioned earlier, put reforms
can to avoid being questioned. you think that s what mueller is doing? that s what it appears to be. the democratic response to the nunes medical most mow released over the weekend, finally, are you satisfied with that redacted version? did it prove in your estimation that the fbi did not abuse their power by surveilling carter page? it s the memo we never wanted out there in the first place. but when the republicans put out their falsities to undermine the fbi, there was a responsibility to tell the american people the truth. of course we d want everything to be out there that s relevant. but we worked with the department of justice, something that they weren t willing to do. i think the picture is quite clear. the fisa application had a arsenal of evidence on carter page. the actual russia investigation began well before carter page landed their radar because george papadopoulos was in london receiving and being previewed information that russians had on hillary clinton. whic
grzmcongressman, let me ask about that. the fact this memo responding to the nunes memo would clarify the reason that the fbi looked and surveilled basically, carter page anything we expect to hear as the final version comes out next week, the revised version of the democratic memo, what else can we expect to learn? it was mostly to restore, fairly restore the credibility of the fbi. because they sought to really poison the investigation. this memo of theirs needed an ant dote. the fbi s credibility needed an anticipate dote. and so that s what it did. but, chris, we did something they weren t willing to do. we asked the department to review our memo before it went out. so if this is the department saying they have concerns, then we should be open to addressing them. but i really knowing this president, i have a lot of questions about what his role was in making this decision. there s a big story that
position where we must demand that be displayed to public. devin nunes is the one who moved for this to become public. devin nunes should stand on the house floor on tuesday and say to his colleagues to release it. it s now back in our court. we should hear from the department first, but i do suspect knowing this president he may have tried to put political pressure on the department of justice. can i trick you into telling me what the most important thing we should read or expect to come from this memo, or you can t tell us? i can tell you it shows the arsenal of evidence that went into surveilling carter page nptd of the steele investigation. i think it puts a very accurate time line and it shows or elevates the seriousness of what russia was doing and why we should have been so concerned about who they were working. i think that is what people want to know, that this whole thing that was trumped up, literally trumped up, that somehow the only reason they
