and in this case, bob was contracted with the cia analysts. >> brown: to do what? >> to look at corruption, i understand. they tasked him with several different responsibilities to collect information. and he was very good at it. in fact, he was remarkably good at it. and in fact, the analysts were thrilled with his work product. i mean it was both volume i'm news and insightful and you know, they were certainly getting their money's worth under these cia contracts. >> so he disappears in a scenario where many in the cia and in the operations, they don't know that he was working for them in the first place? >> in fact, he goes to iran, kish island in march of 0ee and he disappears. the cia immediately is asked what is our responsibility, what is our sort of exposure here. and the analysts say we have not talked to bob lately. and the reason was because he had been communicating with some of the analysts privately on their personal e-mail accounts. he had not had a live contract because it had not been renewed. but they were in talks about renewing his contract. but

in order to face shaheen, if he gets that far, brown has to get past some interesting primary competition first. former senator bobleft new hampshire, bob smith did, moved to florida, and in 2004 he tried to run for the senate in that state. didn't go through with it, but flirted with doing it all over again in florida, in 2010. and then bob smith moved back to new hampshire, and now he said he's going to run against or try to run against shaheen too, setting up a primary against brown. that is carpetbagging with a twist of boomeranging or something like that. anyway, new hampshire is not the only state with residency issues among candidates this cycle. also liz cheney, who is running in the republican primary against long time wyoming senator mike enzi, yes, it is the state that her -- her very famous father once represented in congress, but she has long made her home in virginia. just outside of washington, d.c. so with all of the pitfalls of running for office in another state, not the state you're identified with, we have come up with five easy steps to succeeding as a carpetbagger. to go through them with us,

scott brown the former senator is ratching up the speck ulthz over interest in in the senate seats. he writes regardless of the race. >> republicans think it looks like a juicy race. bob from florida. they want to run against the democrat and cot brown is making all the moves. his twitter handle changed from scott brown ma to send scott brown. he is jumping on the republicans and obama care issue pointing out ten of the 26 reports would not be available on the exchange that is in that state. he has that dinner coming up and people say well, he is just trying to ramp up speculation and if that's what it's for, he's going through a lot of trouble. >> we will talk to the president of columbia. juan manuel santos. he and president obama may agree on a lot of issues until they start talking about soccer. he joins us next when "morning joe" comes right back. blap before using her new bank of america credit card, which rewards her for responsibly managing her card balance. before receiving $25 toward her balance each quarter for making more than her minimum payment on time each month. tracey got the bankamericard better balance rewards credit card, which fits nicely with eve
