memorandum. our special guest, congressman mark meadows. he says the american people deserve to see the memo. and scary moments for republican lawmakers, 200 of them. a chartered train carrying them to a retreat in west virginia, collided with a trash truck. the driver of the truck was killed, a passenger critically injured. none of the lawmakers were injured. but president obama says they are shaken. president trump: they are doing pretty good. the train accident was a tough one. a tremendous jolt. and they are proceeding to their conference. we don't have a full understanding yet as to what happened. but it was a train hitting a truck going at a pretty good speed. lou: tonight it's unclear why that truck was on the tracks. the presidential himself will be addressing lawmakers at that retreat tomorrow. it will be something of a victory lap for the president who delivered a powerful, impressive, state of the union address. we'll discuss what's next for this president who seems unstoppable. ed rollins, former deputy assistant to the president and sebastian gorka. our top story, the countdown to the house intelligence memo release. president trump has three more days to decide whether to make the fisa abuse memo public. all independentcation he will do so as soon as tomorrow morning. but it has caused a deep rift with the new director of the fbi who decided he's worried about omissions in the document. we are learning the fbi has concerns, despite viewing a white house version of that memorandum. the product of a review of that memorandum. kacatherine:memorandum.her cathe herridge has the latest for us. catherine: the discussion on whether to release the memo was acrimonious. quigley asked if he cord tbhaitd the white house. nunes, would i just answer as far as i know, no. and i would say we are well awear it minority has not wanted to conduct this investigation by the public opposition to the subpoenas we issued in august. the committee's ranging democrat adam schiff highlighted the passage. the feud between the fbi, justice department and capitol hill took a new turn with the bureau issuing a rare public statement saying the four-page memo is misleading and incompleted. it read in part the fbi was offered an opportunities to review the memo. we have grave concerns about material issues of fact. nunes disputed the claim and focused on how long it took the fbi and doj to comply. and he called them spurious objections to allowing the american people to see the information. he continues, it's clear top officials used unverified information during a an american political campaign. christopher wray and rod rosenstein were at the white house earlier this week. the president made his position known after the state of the union. ed the committee is not saying if they have any sense of when the memo will be released. but are getting a better sense of how long the fbi director had to review the memo. we understand that he had 90 minutes along with congressman anyone's and congressman gowdy to read that four-page memo. lou: wouldn't fbi director had taken a look at that memorandum. there was time a plenty to respond. he did not. as you reported, there was no revelation of any concern about a misstatement in that memorandum. and suddenly today we are talking about a director who is concerned about omissions. this is a strange rupture between the fbi, which after all is an executive agency, and the president of the united states. catherine: the bottom line for me is if the fbi director have all had a chance to independently review the memo and voice their concerns. our contact says they did not point to any inaccuracies. today that turned into a statement about omissions creating a document that is misleading. the clock will run out and the memo will be released and the parties can fight anew over what it says. lou: catherine herridge thanks so much. outstanding reporting on events critically important to the nation. devin nunes also putting forward this statement saying the memo contains all of the relevant facts on fisa abuse. saying, if we have this up on full screen, please, after fighting our demand if for these documents for months, the fbi and the department of justice now seem to be going through a series of increasingly ridiculous, increasingly desperate excuses to avoid transparency. this an extraordinary moment. we are look at house oversight committee, the intelligence committee being treated disrespect any by the agency over which it has oversight responsibility. this is stunning, stunning stuff this evening, and it's headed toward taken outright collision. our next guest here tonight has viewed what he says is the disturbing document that the american people deserve to see, and he wants that memorandum released straightaway. joining us from the republican retreat in west virginia, congressman mark meadows, a member of a number of key committees. and he's chairman of the house freedom caucus. these latest developments here, this is getting uglier by the moment when we thought we were on the way to transparency, the release of the memorandum straightforwardly. >> well, it is getting you lire. but the other part -- it is getting uglier. i have been calling on it along with a number of my colleagues. jim gordon has an obligation to inform congress when there has been fisa abuses. he is following his constitutional duty to advise us of that. the fbi had to come under subpoena and threat of contempt to produce the document. now all of a sudden they are saying they are concerned about omissions? let's put all the documents out there. if they are concerned about this four-page memo which truly is revealing and the american people should be concerned about, let them judge for themselves. let's put all documents out there. i don't think they want that either. when we are talking about this tonight, they have grave concerns? i have grave concerns that the kinds of things i have read about cannot continue. and now is the time for transparency, lou. lou: i think nearly every american would agree with you certainly. i would say all americans would, but we don't live in that time and age in which we'll have unanimity of view. it strikes me that this is president trump's director of the fbi now. we are talking about a man put in that job by this president, and he has the effrontery to go against his president, our president? there is in this government as you well know, a head of state and a head government. in our system of government, he's the same fella. i'm stunned what we are witness from the justice department, the ignorance of its as and the ignorance of the words from the head of the fbi. there this is stung, stunning stuff. >> as crafts relationship was -- at catherine was just reporting, they had 90 minutes to go over and say are there any factual continue accuracies in this memo? my understanding is they could not find any factual inacross a is. so now they want to tell the rest of the story so they can spent there way. we even couraged our colleagues to supports -- we eve encourager colleagues. this is not a partisan document. this is a document that truly elevates concerns that all americans should be concerned about. lou: we are just receiving word from our chief correspondent at the white house telling us the new version of the memorandum as it has been in some ways altered by the white house review, by professional members of the fbi, were at the white house to meet with the chief of staff john kelly and to go through that. despite kelly's efforts, john roberts reports, to allay the concerns from the fbi, the fbi released that statement today saying there were omissions and they opposed the memo's release. the statement roberts reports has left the white house scratching their heads as to what the fbi and the department of justice are up to. i can make an interjection and say what they are up to. they are trying to cover themselves and their actions from the view of the american people. >> well, one could draw that conclusion, lou. when you see what this actually is all about is not about divulging any times of sources. this is about transparency and what went on and should have gone on. i can tell you i have been calling for a special prosecutor to investigate this. if they are concerned about anybody putting their hands on the scale or lady justice people from behind that blind fold. let's get a special prosecutor. but they haven't been forthcoming. we have been requesting documents on the over$sight and government reform committee for many many weeks. and we have gotten less than 2,000 documents of 1.2 million documents. if they are concerned about omissions, they have part of that responsibility. lou: a substantial part whenner in telling the committee with oversight, aing long with judiciary and the senate and the house, they are telling congressional oversight to go to hell. and there is in other way to construct this. that is precisely what they are doing. >> that's what they are doing. but, you know, lou, this is not my first rodeo. we'll be tenacious and we'll make sure your viewers and the american people have the right to see this. lou: congressman mark meadows, thank you for being with us. we appreciate everything you are doing for the american public's right to know. we are coming right back with much, much more. the deep state trying to hide the truth and obstruct the release of the house intelligence committee memorandum. but president obama says he's 100% for the release. we take up the fbi and the department of justice web of obstruction and deceit here next. president trump reiterates his firm stance on national security and border security. president trump: my duty and the sacred duty of every elected official in this chamber toys defend americans, to protect their safety, their families, their communities, and their right to the american dream because americans are dreamers too. 237. loulou: much more on the lou: fox news confirmed the president's personal attorneys are questioning whether special counsel robert mueller has met standard to press the president for an interview. they say there is no subject or line of inquiry that hasn't already been answered. staff interviews and 20,000 pages of records have been provide to the special counsel office. joining us now to assess all of that, all of the developments with the house intel memo release and more is fox news legal analyst, gregg jarrett. the reasoning of the president's attorneys is to say to the special counsel, wait a minute, you should have answered all the questions you might have for the president. gregg: it's a smart leg maneuver. it's been used by prior presidents and it's meant to gain some leverage to try to convince the special counsel to limit the scope of the questioning. that's exactly what bill clinton did when was questioned by ken starr. so it was a smart move. it did work out pretty well. they were able to limit the scope. but then the president lied. as president bill clinton and his wife are prone to do, and that led to the impeachment. lou: i am thinking the attorneys must have said that damn president. this -- the effectiveness of this on the part of the trump attorneys to keep the special counsel the hell away from the president. >> when push comes to shove, the special counsel can slap the president with a grand jury subpoena. and the president would have to appear before the grand jury. the best way to deal with it is to negotiate and get a better deal on a legitimate basis the lawyers are alleging. if it's obstruction of justice that requires a corrupt act, only the president knows the motives behind his actions. lou: the president it seems to me there is no potential for corroborating contradiction from any quarter if he's the only one who understands the contradiction. gregg: you don't want to set a perjury trap. lou: i don't want to set a precedent by having anything to do with a special counsel who is conflict as his special counsel is who has a mandate that's so ridiculous to be farcical. why perpetuate if you will, fraud, even upon the concept of special counsel. gregg: as long as the president sticks to what he said earlier, i fired comey, my constitutional right for a legitimate reason that was laid out by rod rosenstein. lou: couldn't the president of the united states say to robert mueller face to face, nose to nose. your buddy, rod rosenstein, the one you have so much association and great conflict sitting here in front of me is the guy who said these are the reasons we should fire him. greg: exactly what i predict the president will do. my only worry is rosenstein might try to contradict the president which is why rosenstein -- lou: he has to contradict his own memorandum first. first. lou: a memorandum that's been sent through the department of justice and the white house? gregg: i would never trust rod rosenstein. ed the fact that he refused to recuse himself when the law demand it tells me he's not a guy to be trusted. lou: so the american people are finding that snakes like rosenstein, robert mueller, james comey, they have set the course of history for this presidency than is no altering the course of events? gregg: my friends at the doj say that rod rosenstein had a nickname. it was frank burns. if you are a fan of the "mash" television show, you know what that means. lou: was he the colonel? gregg: he was one of the doctors everybody despised except for hot lips. lou: gregg, thanks so much. be sure to vote in our poll tonight. do you believe we are about to learn
