We are going to show you a man Drinking Alcohol from a bottle allowing his dog to urinate on the carpet and rifling through cabinets. Its not his house.

Reporter what they found was there landlord, able to brawl and his dogs inside their home while they were away. I couldnt believe it. We have multiple instances caught on tape. Reporter joe tobin now represents the couple. Reporter Drinking Alcohol. After apparently allowing the dog to urinate on the floor, cabral was drinking their alcohol. I thought she was the one drinking it. I think its a perversion on the part of the landlord coming in and Drinking Alcohol with his bare mouth. Its not necessarily alcoholism, its more about a perversion going into their bedroom, reading their things. There is something more here, than just alcoholism. Reporter there was no camera there. At first, the couple says they were afraid to confront cabral or contact police. They live right above us and that door over there is five foot above and five foot from the bathroom. And i went from thinking it was an alcohol problem to a sociopath problem. Did you think you could be in danger . Absolutely. We sent this to the Police Department and they said it was a civil issue and they couldnt do anything about it. Reporter but chp tells us they were never given the video and the landlord was given permission to enter the common area, something the tenants dispute so they are taking cabral to court. The landlord is liable for wrongful eviction, trespass, constructive eviction and breach of the covenant for quiet enjoyment. Reporter the couple says the dog bourbon helped them crack the case. If it wasnt for his dog urinating, he was actually really good at making sure everything was put back in place and we were watching him wiping stuff down, making sure everything was put back in spots. Reporter the Surveillance Video helped mend what was becoming a fractured relationship. When you are seeing bottles go down the slope, and you know people, saying once a Minnesota Unit when someone is saying its not our dog urinating and euro like well its not me.

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle in washington spoke today over the controversial memo drafted by republicans on the House Intelligence Committee alleging senior officials of the fbi abused government surveillance powers during the 2016 president ial campaign. Specifically targeting former Trump Campaign advisor carter page. Now, a key point in this memo is republicans say the secret fisa courts were not told the dossier presented as evidence was paid for by democrats. That dossier, the memo says helped secure a warrant for the fbi to spy on carter page. This is relevant information to alert the fisa court. Was they are political motivation . A political actor . The court was notified a political actor was involved. It really is unprecedented and bad precedent to not tell a court that a source has this level of bias. Just look at the disclosure.
