edward lin. news broke that mr. lin, a u.s. naval flight officer specializing in electronic signals intelligence faces charges of adultery, prostitution and providing classified intelligence to taiwan and possibly also, china. but this scandal is only the tip of the iceberg. because in 2016, the navy remains roiled by the so-called fat leonard scandal in which a number of enior officers have been charged for accepting kickbacks from a private maritime supply contractor. and note this oddity. a possible target of investigators, current director of naval intelligence, vice admiral ted branch has had his security clearance suspended since late 2013. question -- is the navy in crisis, pat buchanan? pat: i would say no, john, but it is under great stress and the reason that we had about a 600-ship navy under ronald reagan. it's about half that size and after the old cold war, we have the baltic sea and the black sea and the south china sea and all these places to police by the u.s. navy and the challenges to it from both china and r

mr. gray sees officers, goes running. edward nero was one of the officers on a bike patrol along with officer miller. both of them chased mr. gray. miller jumped off his bike, ran after mr. gray, grabbed him at a gate or a fence near the area he was trying to run into. mr. nero then went back to get mr. miller's bicycle which he had left and brought that back. the judge noted that because he said, look, nero wasn't there for the actual arrest, and that was a huge piece of information for the judge in making his decision. so nero shows up a few seconds later, after miller already has him down in cuffs, arrested. then he is put into the van, that famous video of mr. gray being put into the van. they say that mr. nero did have contact with gray later on when he was moved to the area where we see him in that famous video of mr. gray screaming and being put into the van. at the second stop about 20 seconds later, maybe a minute later, right around the corner on mount street, they said that mr. nero helped put mr. gray in leg irons or

edwards: thank you very much, mr. speaker. i rise in strong opposition to the house consideration of the reducing regulatory burdens act, that the house republicans have incorrectly and misleadingly renamed the zika vector control act. in the 113th congress, this exact legislation was -- with a bill number of h.r. 935 failed under suspension of the rules, 253-148. at the time, republicans subsequently rescheduled it two days later and you closed rule to allow pass and. i was the democratic manager of that bill under consideration in 2014. and in fact since my statement laid out a real substantive concern with the legislation, i ask unanimous sconet that a copy of my remarks at the time be made a part of today's record. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. ms. edwards: in this congress, this legislation was marked up early last year in the agriculture committee as the reducing regulatory burdens act. the committee of primary jurisdiction, the house transportation and infrastructure committee, has taken no action on the b

edward snowden. this is what he said. >> the fact is, mr. snowden has been charged with three felonies.elieves what he did was right, then, like every american citizen, he can come here and appear before the court with a lawyer and make his case. if the concern was that somehow this was the only way to get this information out to the public, i signed an executive order well before mr. snowden leaked this information that provided whistleblower protection to the intelligence community. the first time. there were other avenues available for somebody whose conscience was stirred and thought that they needed to question government actions. amy: ok, the president says he signed an executive order that would reject whistleblowers. john crane, you were a top pentagon, in the inspector general's office, there within the whistleblower protection unit. is what president obama is saying true? >> there are fact patterns that he was of course not aware of. the general accountability office, which is the investigative arm of the congress, that they have issued two separate reports on the ig dod whist

mr. desantis: let me ask you this. in the years heading to edward snowden, he made several posts using a consistent user name complaining about government surveillance. these posts may have alerted authorities that he could be an insider threat. has any of the social media pilot programs evaluated to date been capable of detecting that sort of post where the subject is posting that is not explicitly the individual's name? mr. evanina: sir, i'm not specific to the exact nature of the depth of the particular pilot. i can tell you those particular posts from mr. snowden that he did would not have been caught in social media because it's not public facing and there was private chats beyond the password protected. mr. desantis: so if they're using semianonymous names to the extent there are public forums, would requiring the disclosure of any identities on the form be something that would be helpful? mr. evanina: sir, we're currently not providing asking people anyone of emails or nline persona. mr. desantis: so we'll look at social media if john smith a

mr. maxwell: well, it is easy given the lastat two or three years after the edward snowden discussions. that is an externa re-think to have if you want to look at the activities of people and it is the kind of notion of people what they are talking about. if i scoop up enough of this material, sooner or later i'm going to find this thing. all of this material could go soond that original thought, it is not the kind of technology that is employed, it is the notion that you could scoop everything in and then work from that. >> in a little while, we are going to see 40 minutes of of tom houston -- charles huston testifying. but listless and the barry goldwater. let's watch. you, mr.ater: thank chairman. i want to speak first about the internal revenue service, and i am very happy that the chairman has mentioned this. someone on this committee has likened the cia like a bull elephant running rampant or the irs like a rattlesnake slithering along in the grass, probably the greatest threat to american freedom and americans and yet this morning, it is the first public indication that i have he

edward, great to see you again. a lot of eyes will be on this meeting undoubtedly today between mr. trump and representative ryan here so what exactly are people looking for in the outcome? >> i think they are looking for unity in this outcome nancy. donald trump is feeling bolstered going into this meeting because of his large support among voters. he says he has enormous respect for the speaker of the house. trump is meeting with paul ryan and other leaders. and the self prescribed outsider may be making some headway. he has now endorsements from seven house members o who chair very important committees here on capitol hill. donald trump is still working to try to unify the party in hopes that he can get a deal out of this meeting that is going to happen. hillary clinton also criticized donald trump ahead of this meeting like mitt romney about his taxes. donald trump saying again he'd like to release those after the irs audit. bernie sanders also weighing in saying that he's the man who can beat anybody on the republican side. sanders still saying he can win the nomination on the

edward snowden and i have similar contribution histories. my colleague here suggested you should be suspect of anybody that supports me. my question is, mr. evanina, do you take into account political support when you're doing background research in social media? mr. evanina: we do not. it's important for committee to understand the investigators who conduct background investigations are very well-trained and they follow the federal investigative standards and there are plenty f policy they put forth in their rigorous background information and they conduct it on information that's relevant whether or not you're capable of obtaining and holding a security clearance. so a political contribution would not be one of those. mr. massie: if they encountered somebody who in their social media supported a candidate who was strong on the fourth amendment and believed very strongly in the right to privacy and there are different interpretations of the fourth amendment. i'm not saying that people don't believe strongly in the fourth amendment. that wouldn't be a consideration? mr. evanina: absolutely not. it wouldn't have any predication on whether
