Good evening. As a result we see a tactic we have seen in criminal cases where when the facts are increasingly incriminating of the defendant, theres an effort to put the government on trial. That was the ranking member, adam schiff. The author speaking out after that unanimous vote. At this moment only President Trump can make the ultimate decision. Does he approve be memos release as he did with the nunes memo or block it. The president will have five days to make a formal decision and hes playing games with it. Thank you. Thank you. Are you going to release the memo . Uncharacteristically silent. Thats coming as the president bragged about the nunes memo saying it totally vindicates trump, putting his own name in quotes. Never mind the memo admitted it began months before the fisa application. The president of the United States is seizing on anything to slam the russia probe itself. Here he is today giving a speech. It was about the economy and he made a reference to the republicans memos claims of wrong doing at the fbi. Did we catch them in the act or what . Oh, did we catch them in the act . They are very embarrassed. They never thought they were going to get caught. We caught them. Its so much fun. Were like great sleuths. A great sleuth doesnt accept one side of the story. A great sleuth collects all sides before making a decision. The president doesnt have a choice here. Listen to trumps own aides arguing for release of the nunes memo. The buzz word wasnt the gop side, tfit was openness, transparency. We want it to be a deliberative process. We have seen all along from day one that we want full transparency in this process. Okay. Theres only one decision the president can make that supports transparency. In light of a unanimous vote in the committee that along party lines refuse to release the democratic memo before the weekend. Hes got to approve the release. The big question is whether he will release it in full or remove key parts of it to neuter its impact. We want to make sure that the white house does not redact our memo for political purposes and thats a deep concern. Pamela brown is out front at the white house. We have all sides of this covered. The breaking vote from the House Intelligence Committee, the big news where you are. What happened in that room . Republicans joined with democrats in voting to release this memo. This after the republicans last week voted to block the democratic memos release saying they just gotten a copy of it and only agree to allow the full house to review it in a classify setting. Today change of course. The yun nan mouse vote in the committee to send this to the president s desk giving him five days to decide. Behind closed doors, there were questions for devin nunes. Whether or not the white house work with him in any way to draft the memo. According to adam schiff who briefed reporters afterward said nunes gave a lawyerly response saying no one in the white house drafted the memo. According to schiffs take away, he did not explain any preparation. Working with the nunes staff and putting together the memo the president has heralded as a vinds indication. He does not believer the white house was involved in any way of putting together this memo but still a lot of back and forth in this committee despite the you nn mouse vote and a big question about what the republicans will do if the president does block its release, whether they will vote to override him at the moment several of the republicans, i talked to, said they didnt want to cross that bridge yet. They hope the president agrees to release it later this week. That seems to be the only option he has. Hes been playing coy and you dont know until you know. Thank you. Pamela brown is at the white house. Its now in the president s hands. What will he do . Well, its still an open question. The white house official saying tonight that the democrats memo will be read and reviewed but stop short of saying that it will be declassified. The official says it will go through the same process as the nunes memo went through with white house lawyers, other National Security officials weighing in. As you recall the president said even for he read it that it would be released 100 . Far from certain if that will happen with the democrats memo and the big question is whether there will be redactions made by the white house. Republicans on the hill said the fbi had given input on changes to be made before it even came here to the white house. You heard adam there, the ranking democrat on the House Intelligence Committee expressing concern that the white house will make redactions for political reasons. Thats one reason why he handed it over to the fbi and department of justice to weigh in. The president does have five days to make a decision on this and it will truly be a test of transparency for the president given the fact that the white house used transparency as a justification for releasing the nunes memo last week. Thank you. Outfront i want to go to a member of the Intelligence Committee. Congressman, thanks for being with me. Unanimous. The release of the democrat memo was voted down on party lines. Were you surprised at a unanimous vote moments ago . I was happy to see it. Its the right thing to do and hopefully the president allows the memo to go to the public free from any political edits. I will say this is a dangerous pr precedent for an Ongoing Investigation to occur and evidence to be put out in the public while investigators are still interviewing witnesses. We believe what the republicans did last week with their false memo was so poisonous that it would be to give the public the full picture. One of my colleagues pointed out the steele dossier was inaccurate because theres questions about where the president s lawyer really traveled. All we did was bring them in and ask him if he had fwoen gone to places. Theres an unwillingness to conduct a serious investigation. We cant rely on bob mueller to be the insurance policy because the president is doing all he can to undermine that investigation. The memo is now in the president s hands. I asked whether the president would release your memo. Heres what he said. I think the president would be inclined to release the democratic memo should it come to us and be reviewed and gone through the same process and if National Security and legal equities review it and say it doesnt challenge, sources and method and be accurate. The president will release it. Doesnt seem like he has any choice rationally. To even suggest they would show a new discretion on being concerned about sources and methods is just not believable. They revealed sources and methods in their memo. Thats whats so unfortunate. We should only review new sources and methods if they put into context what the republicans did. We must get back to work. We spent three weeks seeing them attack the process but not been able to attack the evidence because were not bringing in witnesses and they still have not shown there was anything but a willingness and eagerness by the trump team to work with the russians. I know the ranking member, your colleague, congressman schiff has indicated hooe ed hed the white house will try to heavily redact the memo. I want to read what lee said about your memo. He said friends dont let friends of the House Intel Committee compromise good source and methods. Schiff loaded up his memo with many sources and methods that shouldnt be released and he knows it. Theres zero percent chance this isnt delivered to play games. Does your colleague have a point. Did he load this up with a bunch of stuff so it can get redacted and he can complain about it . No. We voted to not allow the republican memo to go forward. Its our preference to not have any of this out. No investigator would want to show potential witnesses the evidence that they have before they question them. Were setting this precedent were his campaign is suggebjeco a criminal investigation. Youre saying its not loaded up with sources and methods . Thats false . The only sources and methods put into context is the falsities they asserted. We believe it should be a close hold on the evidence. Its straight rebuttal to the points made . Thats right. One of those points is that about uncorroborated information in the dossier being used to support the fisa application for carter page and congressman schiff admits that parts were included in the fisa application. I wanted to play how he put that specifically. Here he is. There were portions of the work that Christopher Steele did that were pertinent to carter page and some were corroborated. The line there is some were corroborated. If only some parts were corroborated no matter what else was put into the fisa application, that would mean other parts were not corroborated. Isnt it fair to say that is a problem . No. This fisa application was to begin an investigation. It was not to present a Closing Argument to a jury. The only way you can get more evidence and start to corroborate what was in that dossier is to launch the initial investigation. I think they are confusing what was being done and what part of the time line we were in this investigation. The president today spoke about democrats reaction during the state of the Union Address. I want to play what he said. You have the other side, even on positive news, really positive news, like that, they were like death and unamerican. Unamerican. Somebody said treasonous. I guess, why not. Can we call that treason . Why not. Death, unamerican and ultimately he says treason. Your response. If the president thinks its treasonous that i did not tax for tax scam policies that dont help people save more then count me in as one of the traitors. If he works to support those, ill stand up and clap. Thank you very much. I appreciate your time. My pleasure. Next, congressman devin nunes says hes looking at the state department for irregularities. More memos to come. The president of the United States hailed devin nunes as the Great American hero. Today was the single biggest one day plunge in dow history. A president who bragged daily about market gains was silent. On this curious trump statement. Im nonbragadocious. Well be back.

House Intelligence Committee voting to release the democratic memo that counters the nunes memo on alleged fbi surveillance abuse. Now its in the president s hand. Hes got five days to approve its release. This comes as chairman devin nunes is not stopping. Hes indicating there may be more memos to come warning that he has targets in his sights. What were looking at now is a state department and some of the irregularities there. We have several other areas that were looking at but i dont want the American People to think were going to have a memo that will go through this p proce process. Well follow the facts where they lead. When we get enough facts well figure out a way to let the American People know. A way to let them know without the memo process. Now former advisor, including four president s. David youre sitting here. Chairman nunes doubling down. Theres more to come but its not going to go through the same process as in a Committee Vote and redactions. Whats going to come here . I think hours after the House Committee did the right thing and voting nor the democratic memo unanimously. Its disheartening now to see another republican go after another institution of government. Just tearing down the system that so many president s have worked hard and their teams have worked so hard to build respect for. Theyre going after Law Enforcement and going to go back to the state department. The morale is already rock bottom. Stude people are leaving in droves. Students in my class arent going to do it anymore. Its not a path way thats good. I dont know why hes doing this. It seems to me totally partisan. I think hes wringing discredit on himself. I do not think this last episode has helped his own reputation. They had to vote for release the democratic memo. That did not happen. They voted against it. The president tweeted and look President Trump been his biggest backer. Representative devin nunes may some day be recognized as a Great American hero for what hes exposed and what hes had to endure. Well, whats clear is that devin nunes has decided to go all in for his patron, President Trump. Hes doubling down the way that President Trump doubles down when he comes under pressure. Why devin nunes is doing this, i havent a clue. I would say we have to take it seriously. Its been a long time since we saw a member of Congress Talk about conspiracies in order to undermine the legitimacy of our intelligence and Law Enforcement community in our state department. The last time it happened on this scale was joseph mccarthy. Im not saying that devin nunes equals joseph mccarthy. People in the early 50s didnt take him seriously and he caused e mor nous damage to this country. Im worried that some people will pass devin nunes off as a b baffoon because trey gowdy, a lot of real Republican Leaders are not towing his line. If he uses the power of congressional investigation to undermine our institutions for the sake of President Trump, hes a threat to the countrys stability. Its worth remembering that President Trump, one of his heroes was ray cohn who was the top lunts ieutenant to mccarthy. Gloria, go ahead. First of all, devin nunes overpromised in this memo. He had a huge roll out for it. It didnt deliver what he said it was going to deliver but it did cause the president to say he was completely vinds indicates. Im wondering how that plays with bob mueller and im wondering if this memo could backfire with the special counsel. He know his team is in negotiations with the president s attorneys about whether the president s going to testify and weve reported that the president s attorneys dont want him to testify. If the president tweets things like he tweeted about being vindicated, bob mueller may have a better case to make to the president s attorneys about what is that mean. We do need to talk to him and i think nunes rather than helping the president , which is im sure, i agree, was his objective but rather than help the president , i think in his own way, hes actually hurting the president because you have to keep your eye on the ball here. Investigation. The memo is misleading and some cases its very simply wrong, inaccurate. Today nunes said something which is also completely inaccurate. Here he is. As far as we can tell he never even had met with the president. Just to point everyone out here, its an official Trump Campaign, march 31st, 2016. You can see that. Then trump bragged about papadopoulos. Here he is. Phd, advisor to the house of representatives caucus and Counter Terrorism expert. Carter page, phd. George papadopoulos, hes an oil and energy consultant, excellent guy. George papadopoulos was the reason the russia investigation, the counter intielligence investigation began. Whats obvious here hes trying to say no relevance. Mr. Nunes is trying to undermine the investigation of russian intervention in the 2016 campaign. Carter page is not the way to do it. The George Papadopoulos case is the way to do it. Not satisfied with having created a lot of gonoise about e carter page warrant. Mr. Nunes is going after the papadopoulos investigation. Why doesnt he care . Why doesnt the congressman care about the intervention and our elections by russia. Why is he so focussed on domestic conspiracies that likely dont exist . This is whats so unfortunate because hes the share of the committee that oversees our intelligence community. I cant imagine how they can take this man seriously when he keeps focusing inward when he should be looking outside at adversaries
