which information then was leaked. to the to the media so brennan was the political boy working for the expected hillary clinton. presidency so let's let's expand this investigation let's forget about the russians because this was and what the russians did and let's look at what john brown a did ok steve what we have i agree with that i think feel is absolutely right let me and say on this because mr brown was there with the torture the enhanced interrogation programs the destruction of video interrogation tapes. all under his watch and he should be also investigated for authorizing a participating in a virtual assassination program that is endowing the president authorizing the president to kill american citizens that he unilaterally decides were implicated in national security danger based upon unsubstantiated evidence mr brennan should be

under investigation for assassinations and i would drink to that ok let me go to steve here were given a peculiar situation here do believe jim comi or interim mccabe. that's a dilemma that's a really. sad state of affairs which when you get to believe go ahead you know what i'm getting at steve go ahead well here's here's what yeah well of course commies got the book coming out and he's been tweeting that oh i'm going to tell my story who cares but here's the deal call me testified under oath that he never authorized anyone to talk to the media about the sensitive information that mccabe reportedly or allegedly talked to the media about and mccabe said that you know he was authorized to do it so and they both said this on their oath so one of them committed perjury apparently this is so outrageous and really i mean if we had an honest media in this cut. sheree the new york times will be putting this story on

its front page every single day documenting every single thing we're talking about and more but they couldn't ok let me go to cause you have stormy daniels out there and whatever else i'm going to go to a philip before we go to the break here philip. i'm sure general flynn is watching all of this with great interest so we have a number of people that have lied under oath and lied to the f.b.i. so why should there be a prosecution general flynn if there are going to be prosecutions against other people that lied to the f.b.i. the f.b.i. lying to the f.b.i. go ahead philip you know this is this is really the interesting aspect of the investigations people are being gotten gotten by virtue of the fact that they lied about something and nobody's really looking at what they actually did if we look at what flynn actually accomplished or did there's nothing there but the fact that he lied his way the reason he's being hung out to dry and this seems to be the process

that's being followed by the investigation when you think about it that's pretty scary and it is very very sorry gentlemen to jump in here we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on exposing the deep state stays with r.c. . manufacture consent to the public will. when the ruling classes

project themselves. the financial merry go round lifts only the one person told. to ignore middle of the room signal. relieved. when i was a child's seemed wrong wrong but all were all just all. the way to get to shape out this day to come out ahead and engagement because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers

of all suck but there was one more question by the way was going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge government and the huge amount of pressure you have to the center of the car with you and we'll. get you out of the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the ball going let's go. alone because i want to you know and i'm really happy to join the team for the two thousand and three and world cup in russia. this special one was also appreciate me to just say to redo the aussie team's latest edition to make up a big. welcome back to crossfire where all things considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're

discussing exposing the deep state. ok let me go back to bruce in washington which is let me give you a hypothetical let's say in two or three months the wraps up his investigation and let's say hypothetically there is a damning findings that the report reveals to the public how how will it be received if so much of the things that we've been talking about in this program and i've been talking about across for months now when we don't hear or have any investigation into the clinton foundation about how the f.b.i. was politicized during the campaign how they manipulated the campaign tried to influence it and we have one report that we will probably get we could hypothetically get like i go into finances or something about his son in law but they don't go through. all of the myriad of other things that we've been hearing

about the hour about people that or people that actively search out information like people watching this program in the sense of balance and hypocrisy will be so apparent bruce go ahead well i don't know whether that can be large that a report that would be filed by mr mole or his not charter doesn't include investigating the clinton foundation or the lenten season do anything he won't sessions can investigate on his own he could know it had he not through his charter is quite limited that is not true even if you haven't looked at the charter peter it's quite narrow and in fact if you can't afford it challenging it is it is indictment on certain counts ok all right you're a leon test telling you that lauren foundation i have read i've read the charter numerous occasions even under the wildest delusionary given interpretation of language it cannot include the clinton foundation that doesn't mean the department on its own can investigate crime that's how it ordinarily happens the special prosecutor is an exception and there's no reason why mr sessions couldn't on his

own through the criminal division i knew the criminal division i work with the criminal division began an investigation of that sort the statute of limitations has not run now how should a report be handled there is unlike in the independent counsel era which had lapsed after the clinton impeachment and acquittal at the senate we don't have an obligation of a special prosecutor report to be published moreover unlike in the independent counsel era there's no requirement that anybody who is accused by a special prosecutor port be given an opportunity to file a response to the accusation so the public can hear and see both sides of the of the investigative report so here the department itself could however implement some regulations that kind of open book approach to any report. so if somebody accused has an answer as an opportunity to state and

a response sent in public then can evaluate it then we will have an ability to provide some measure of credibility to the accuracy of the assertions well well said your honor and we go to philip right now but my question stands is that if there is an investigation into these other activities that we have discussed that ad nauseum on this program here. or maybe i should ask why wouldn't sessions not appoint a new counsel because i think it's imperative right now because as you said earlier in the program in russia gate it's so flimsy you can make it in anything you want but a lot of other things are very factual people lying under under oath unmasking leaking all of these things have legal. implications here you know talking to george papadopoulos in a bar you know i don't see the legal jeopardy but i would peter struck talking to

his girlfriend looking for insurance i think we should perk up our ears and look at it more closely go ahead philip. well i hear what you're saying peter but the problem is i think that the the corruption is so broad yeah the united states government that everybody has an interest in not letting it be investigated and we probably need something go like you remember the church commission in the seventy's right basically looking into the intelligence community we need something maybe that has a broader brush but. as bruce has has has correctly said the mandate for from ruler is fairly strictly and narrowly defined and that of course was deliberate to add to to make sure that it doesn't really get into other issues that would expand this this investigation so broadly that it would be. a ten year job to investigate corruption in the u.s. government which we all know is pervasive you know that you're going to see that

would be a career that i that would be ahead this is go ahead go ahead a rush now go ahead right now right now that the the there's nothing that prevents the house dominated by republicans and the senate dominated by republicans sieve fifty one forty nine forming a church committee i mean they have the majority so why have the white roosted why don't they do this why is there sessions why don't they do it because we have a weak and cowardly we have a cowardly system where people do not step up for their own responsibility and we talk about lies as well i'll tell you one the department of justice our prosecutor right now mr james clapper then yes director of national intelligence yes tells a lie to the senate intelligence committee that he is not gathering data on millions of americans i guess there were hundreds of millions of a statute of limitations. that needs to be prosecuted the statute of limitations and all he was promoted you know he got

a pay i would actually be hazardous is passion here steve let me go to steve here could say you know bruce brings up a really good point and i think steve and i agree. on this point here where is the will power i mean the i mean we don't know what's going to happen after the midterms but between now and the midterms just exactly what breaux said is true you know we could get a church committee together but why don't the republicans get their act together go ahead steve the republican the republican leadership is feckless now and it's always been feckless said the worst of group i've ever seen at communicating there should be a press conference held every day with every revelation that comes out ryan and mcconnell should be there with the chairman of the various committees say this is outrageous where are you mr attorney general appoint a special prosecutor i don't know what's up with sessions i've got on many shows on i think even on the last time i was on with you peter and said by the way as anybody seen jeff sessions there very well may be an investigation going on behind the scenes into the whole f.b.i.

investigation process into hillary's e-mails and the clinton foundation but you know what i don't care about behind the scenes say this deserves a special prosecutor and do it now and if it doesn't happen i have to wonder what sessions has to fear because maybe someone's got something on him and he knows it you've got it all these things pop into your head it's that no brainer give us a special prosecutor you know you know philip you know. a really good point here if there isn't transparency you know we're going to continue down this path and i really worry about is that you know we will go through additional election cycles we won't learn from the mistakes of the two thousand and sixteen and will get more and more politicized and then you get a banana republic you know i mean we cia and the f.b.i. were never set up to to work inside of domestic politics in it and there's ample evidence that that's happened in least in the last election here and if there isn't a church a committee like thing i don't see that will be able to avoid

a little disk continue to repeat and probably even intensify go ahead philip. you know i absolutely agree i mean we're you know we're kind of looking at the minutia of what's going on and there's something really big behind it that we're afraid to touch because too many special interests and and too many people in power would be affected by this and again i mean to me the the horrific thing that has has been emerging from all of this is the fact that our national security institutions and organs have been corrupted by this process where essentially they become part of the political system that is this is the kind of thing that occurs in the. tyranny or an autocracy where the national security is basically there to protect the party in power and that's essentially were heading you know you know bruce way you know we have a remedy here though you're getting more peter let me tell you go to bruce right now cedar point here i want to insist yes i what the remedy is right in the oval

office mr trump in the next five minutes could tell mr sessions you appoint a special prosecutor to investigate clinton foundation or i'm firing you if there's nothing that impede to me has that power under article two if his team isn't doing the right thing he can fire them why doesn't that he could also release mr sessions is not going to get over it really in a far as i guess somebody who will go ahead steve steve that he could declassify it all that is right all the press is wives on his own candy class yeah he can declassify it right nice any information he wishes. and that's for sure but i just saw a point here as harry truman said rockwell lighthouse steve go ahead if you like it don't forget the rubber duck don't forget the role talk about the deep state the state department the f.b.i. the cia they're still full of people who don't like never like trump and are loyal

to the democrats and obama and they're still in there and obama has theirs in my opinion this sort of shadow government working where strings are being told there is link after leak after leak of the most confidential conversations the president has and information from the white house and here and there and don't think that's not orchestrated so when we talk about deep state it's holdovers and again yes that's could be trump's fault too he could fire them all and really drain the swamp but it's not been done ok philip you know one of the things you think because you've served in government. former spook yourself do you think that there will ever we'll ever find out. specifically who did all of the leaking in the first hundred days of trump's administration because that's the legal those are felonies people go to jail for that do you think there will be a follow up on that go ahead philip. well i'd like to hope that there will be a follow up on that. the thing that. is notable in all these cases that there's always kind of

a paper trail or there are people that are sitting in the room that basically hear what's going on and later on come out with it we have to hope for that kind of shall we say integrity in the process where the we're picking up on the things that occurred that have been carefully hidden. i'm somewhat optimistic these things have a tendency to come out of ten chile and i think it would be good for the country it would be good for our democracy well also and we're going to finish on this side we have been there on what peter i want to correct one thing really when we don't have an official secrets act in the united states it's not automatically a crime to leak information even classified information there is an effort to get a statute like that but it has to have certain elements of aiding the enemy sabotaging the national diantha under the espionage enemy can you enemy is a day any a single easy enemy is a minute we've got a great pair gentlemen the enemies the media many thanks to my guests and want to

do new york and leesburg and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at r.t.c. unix on remember across. the phone right to britain isn't just on the march it's taking violent my daughter's action i know you might need to read that years you know your i see things we're going to think she's usually split into which we are going to take different names how do you that. complex web which are rushers. around the world there's always a battle going on with the central bankers and the commercial bankers always trying

to repress the population in one way or another recall the global insurrection against banker occupation they've been saying this for years on the shelf so now we're going to look at it from the puerto rican perspective they are similarly being oppressed by the overlords of finance and they are reacting in a very specific puerto rico way. to. their brains for a single purpose. of the supermoon. training very young. eight months of intensive school. rats. and they save lives.

in. russia says it regards the poisoning of former spies said case going to fall in the u.k. as an act of terror and the british government must provide more information. a rocket kills at least forty four people in a damascus shopping district in one of the deadliest rebel attacks on the syrian capital. and leaked documents reveal the extent of the us national security agency's efforts to track down and identifying people calling me names and. this is artie international coming to you live from moscow i'm kate partridge thank you for joining us. the russian foreign ministry says it considers the poisoning of

former double agent surrogates going to pal and his daughter to be an act of terrorism the ministry held a briefing on the case with several ambassadors attending. reports. the foreign ministry spokesperson said a number of things firstly he reiterated that russia could have in no way benefited from the attack moscow says they consider this to be a terror attack secondly they stated that the u.k. refused to cooperate with russia which is against the convention on prohibition of chemical weapons and he mentioned the attack could have been orchestrated by another party but then clarified that russia is not pinning the blame on anyone and asked that his words not be distorted let's take a quick look. we see that the british authorities are becoming ever more nervous and it's clear why the clock is ticking they have backed themselves into a corner they will eventually have to provide an increasing number of unanswered

questions we expect from london and from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons and official account of developments regarding the scruple case we need comprehensive conclusions and detailed confirmations a spokesperson for the defense ministry also spoke out he said that it seems that britain is afraid to conduct an unbiased investigation into the script of case and that the u.k. presented no proof that gas illegibly used to poison scruple was made in russia he went on to say that the formula of the subs and not the child was published by scientists. who is working with the us government the russian foreign ministry went on to talk specifically about britain and said it was and is one of the states that have been implementing a program on the development of new chemical weapons since one thousand nine hundred seventy s. he added that the porton down lap in britain is used to conduct inspiring ment's involving use of chemical weapons now we did have a reaction from a london embassy spokesperson who stated that moscow doesn't have to present

anything in terms of scope or case but is ready for a joint investigation london has proposed russia a dialogue over this case however it doesn't see a constructive approach from moscow now the ambassadors that. not to attend were britain u.s. and france britain and the us sent embassy workers instead a crimp spokesperson reacted to the u.k. decision by saying that it showed unwillingness to hear russia's to its questions that moscow to date has denied any involvement in the attempted murders of so can you list cripple the russian former intelligence officer and his daughter you were allegedly poisoned insults three both of them remain in a critical condition and so this diplomatic spat that has gone on for a while now looks to continue to go on for some time. well meanwhile the u.k. as foreign secretary boris johnson says he believes it's going to be poisoning needs inexorably back to the kremlin he cited a number of allegations but claims he doesn't want

a new cold war. i want to be very clear that we do not wish to engage in a new cold war i deprecate that term i don't want i remember them of the old cold war . they got the rods like to welcome. clinton the option putin's can use it the way he was the monkey thirty's things americans here so i think the comparison with nine hundred thirty six is is certainly right. russians as ever responded with denial distortion and delay and that is their tactic. the cyberwarfare disinclination middling in european election campaigns to say nothing of election campaigns elsewhere a general feeling that russia is going to be moved i think we're past the stage

where we can push down to boris just being boris this is a provocation too far even for him and annoyed disgrace and i studied insult being directed not at the russian government but at the russian people given the election result we just had which proves that the russian people stand rock solid behind their government government and more importantly given the history of the second one was the sacrifice the epic sacrifice made by the russian people to the cost of twenty seven million lives lost in liberating europe from the scourge of see flashes on their says and i know why disgrace and i fear that if someone does not reign in this man sooner rather than later the damage he does and will do will live on after him. a russian foreign ministry spokesperson what is the heart of a says johnson's remarks are unacceptable and an attempt to portray russia as

a common enemy exception was especially taken to him comparing the upcoming world cup as a similar p.r. event to hitler's lympics in one nine hundred thirty six john laughlin from the institute of democracy and cooperation says johnson's comments contradict the caution of the police investigation. britain needs to. relations with russia in order to increase its own worth you know of all the comparisons of all the historical comparisons one could have drawn that really is the most hackneyed and the most frankly stupid and boring he says that the trail of evidence leads to the kremlin but the metropolitan police which is investigating the matter says the affair is very complex and will last weeks or months those two statements cannot both be true scotland yard wasting time why don't they just ask boris for the evidence and he can give it to them and they can go on investigating other crimes instead so this is all a load of absolute nonsense. now u.s.

president donald trump has sparked outrage among some politicians and parts of the media for congratulating that him a person on his victory in the russian election on twitter trying to describe their reaction as crazed and said getting along with russia is a good thing he added that russia could help in dealing with many shared problems what i guess the if picks up the story trumps gone and done it again something completely normal but it struck so what the hell. he called putin and congratulated him despite very clear instructions not to literally his brief said do not congratulate in capital letters according to an anonymous source not that that bothers anyone these days do not say congratulations or capital letters and then the president gets on the phone with them and says congratulations you shouldn't be can graduating president putin for that share my

election but he just did it anyway dangerous strong man who is threatening western democracy that requires a strong response so dark some call of up to say envoy putin's critics in the hague bristled with indignation john mccain's two. her account always hyper sensitive to all things putin blew up it was mccain doff president trump insulted every russian citizen who was denied the right to vote in a free and fair election to determine their country's future probably best not to show mccain the margin by which putin one he's old and frail but twitter o'boy twitter do not congratulate actually trended and they came up with some pretty funny stuff do not stare into the sun followed by a picture of donald trump apparently staring into the sun that silly and not good for you then a picture of mike pence touching something that clearly has

a do not touch sign on it funny because he shouldn't be doing that and this guy has do not congratulate on his organ donor card so if he dies don't congratulate him get it come to think of it i've seen funniest stuff but it's trump they'll take it and force any opportunity to bash him even if he does something normal that's called protocol and there are many countries from around the world that when someone. wins if you well i don't lakshman that you pick up the phone and you place that phone call angle of merkel and emanuel macro also congratulated putin many others did too some got flack for it some didn't it's nothing personal but thing to do with like or dislike just protocol you're going to have to work together anyway but these days not even that flies john claud president of the european commission

he got flak no seating and shameful they call it now a few years ago they called it diplomacy but down with the old let's all behave like angsty teenagers and post funny pictures on twitter. at least forty four people have died in damascus after a series of missile struck a market in a government controlled neighborhood. you saw about of my relatives are injured my wife and daughter are in surgery right now . her only moma and my son told me he wanted to celebrate mother's day with me so i told him let's go to the market she bought a cake i was buying sweets when the explosion happened i saw only a lot of dust and my children under the team.
