Other side. it wasn t blocked, it has to go through the same vetting process the republicans did. this particular memo is one sided. if you listen to folks who have seen the intelligence like gowdy they indicate it doesn t vindicate the president at all because the don junior happened in trump tower, george papadopoulos is still the person that triggered the investigation and this memo confirms that. melissa: things need to be followed. here is governor radcliffe. i can tell you that i have looked at the underlying source documents which include moore revelations regarding bruce ohr and his wife nelly and connection there was a pipeline from the democratic national committee and more details will come out about that. who at the f.b.i. was aware of that? we re still determining that. ....
jon: we re learning new details about christopher steele, the guy who compiled the trump dossier. fox news obtained the unclassified version of a criminal referral requested by the republican chairman of the senate judiciary committee. catherine herridge is live in washington with the details on that. thank you, jon, the republican chairman of the senate judiciary committee chuck grassley and lindsey graham sent a criminal referral to the justice department last month asking for an investigation of the former british spy who put together the dossier and whether he lied to the f.b.i. about his contacts with the media. fox news obtained the unclassified version of the referral. it is heavily redacted. the senators write about another stream of information that was going to steele. the unclassified criminal referral reads in part it is troubling enough that the clinton campaign funded mr. steele s work but that these ....
jon: i was surprised reading the republican memo. critics said it reveals sources and methods. i did not see anything of the kind in there, did you? i think the question the critics are raising is whether this kind of process information should be put out there at all. so there are questions about that. obviously it didn t put to rest the investigation, either. as you saw the comments from trey gowdy, the investigation continues. it doesn t fully clear the president or anything like that. jon: the investigation continues, he seemed to say, but republicans are also saying that the investigation would not have reached this point had it not been for the perhaps erroneous reliance on the steele dossier. what we know right now is that the investigation began without the dossier but that the dossier has played a part in the fisa process. ....
melissa: brad, you can t really get around this. if it s okay for one political party to go out and create a dossier like this and feed it into the f.b.i. to listen to another campaign i would wonder if the democrats if this is okay are comfortable with president trump doing that in 2018 or 2020. what do you think? this is not america. this is not our justice system to pin one party to sick a government agency on another. the f.b.i. was convinced hillary was going to win. they were trying to help her in the email investigation and this bogus collusion investigation. papadopoulos and page were wanna bes. they had no connection to the level of getting a warrant. this is crazy stuff. the court of public opinion. the american public is fed up with the f.b.i. and i ll tell you one thing, in this town the fact that nothing leaked with ....
I think there is a lot more information we probably need to get to understand the full read on that. jon: the president i mean, despite his protestations, this memo doesn t clear him necessarily. the president said over the weekend this fully vindicates him. i think you saw a lot of republicans gowdy saying not so fast. there is still an investigation, aspects of an investigation that have to be resolved. it does raise the question of poll itization of intelligence. you have democrats and republicans looking at highly classified stuff and sort of reaching their own conclusions about what it means and where it should go. certainly raises questions about intelligence and also raises questions are you setting a precedent in terms of what gets released to the public during an investigation. jon: but the public, it is ....
