the c.i.a. sends a memo to the f.b.i. headquarters and advised the crossfire hurricane team that page was an operational contact for the c.i.a. for five successful years, 2008 to 2013, and the f.b.i. does nothing. they do nothing wit. the f.b.i. withheld this information from the fisa court, the court approved the warrant and secretly surveilled page. why? he's an american hero until he joins the trump team. and you wonder why people up here feel the f.b.i. cannot be trusted and why we say they have weapon size -- weaponized the f.b.i. to go against the american people specifically with a dissenting point of view like carter page and donald j. trump and they haven't stopped yet. they continue to go up against donald trump whether it's mar-a-lago, whether it's indictments thereupon with the nut job in manhattan. it's just horrible what the f.b.i., we have to rein them in. i will not support the idea of re-authorizing 702 for the f.b.i. until they get their house in order. i yield back. >> thank you. the chair recognizes th

in 2001, therefore, the c.i.a. prepared 16,000 documents for declassification and since then thousands more documents, make it up to 23,000 documents, have been declassified. during the debate on the f.y. 2000 legislation, it was argued that the search f documents related to human rights violations in chile, we're talking about murder, disappearanceses, imprisonment, torture, we're talking -- that's what we're talking about, human rights violations, directed by the national security council, was sufficient. they said, we did that. it's sufficient. they said nothing further was needed and raised the question of how much money will this cost and how much time will it take of the director of central intelligence to produce an adequate report? but mr. hinchy argued, maurice hinchy argued, in these words, it is time that the central intelligence agency accounted for its role in the military coup that toppled the democratically elected government and led to his death. the american people need to know how our government s

a long time employed with the c.i.a.hreats we took on and defeated and the threats still out there today. a top line thought from you today as we look at a war that continues in so many respects. >> yeah, you know, my first thought is to the firefighters and law enforcement and the good samaritans who put their heads to the pillow the night before in new york city and never could have imagined that next day, september 11th, would be a day that would matter more than any other to them. they rushed towards danger to save innocent civilians who had been targeted by ruthless terrorists. on that day they were heroes and inspired me and my colleagues. i was in estonia the day we were attacked. we all knew my c.i.a. colleagues and i that our lives, careers would be transformed. i went on to spend like my colleagues did years in war zones taking the fight to the enemy and doing our best to protect the homeland. >> dana: dan, where do you think we are today in terms of our posture? at the time we were on our back foot when it cam

it was announced today, c.i.a. whistleblowers told the covid select committee that the c.i.a. bribed its own analysts to deny the wuhan lab leak theory. yesterday the f.d.a. approved new covid-19 boosters for children as young as 6 months old, and we haven't even had clinical trials. we're funding a health care system broken by washington and big insurance while average americans foot the bill. energy, we're destroying our ability to have reliable energy, the inflation reduction act's $1.2 trillion handout to unreliable wind and solar, big corporation and rich leftists, and the chinese communist party remain in effect right now. d.o.j. advancing a politicized form of justice, targeting former president trump, targeting dads like scott smith in louden county, which the governor just pardoned. a man in philadelphia, pennsylvania, for defending his son. and perhaps most of all for texans, and particularly for new yorkers these days, perhaps people paying attention to a border that is so devastatingly broken, that americans are dying. how many moms do i have to sit next to in anot

and 20,713 wounded alongside your bereave colleagues from c.i.a. and f.b.i. and department of state and usaid and many others from our government and our allies and partners. hold your head high. you served, you did what your country asked, and each of you serve with honor and courage still, and dignity, and never forget that. [applause] today, our joint force is ready. right now, as we are here, fort myer, on this field, there are 60 to 100 united states navy warships sailing the seven seas to ensure freedom of navigation. and our coast guard has saved countless lives at sea. right now, last 24 hours, we flew other 5,000 sorties and we do that every day to protect our homeland, support our allies and keep the skies safe. our space force is rapidly expanding into that new domain. and our army and marines are currently forward-deployed to maintain peace and stability throughout the world. simultaneously, this join force is preparing for the future, investing in capabilities to sustain our military overmatch and modernize the force. and our pace forward will no

under administrations headed by both parties, the c.i.a. has exploited technology gaps to do the bulk collection program that sweeps up most of american sensitive data. the f.b.i. routinely back-door searches and information collected under 702 and heard the government routinely buys our personal information from third-party data brokers and without a clear statute governing all surveillance congress congress will be playing whackamo. any government access to government communications or other private data should be taken pursuant to a probable cause judicial order. such a warrant or other order provides some assurance that the government has a specific concern that justifies the surveillance. probable cause order requirement should not apply just to direct surveillance but to more indirect forms of surveillance like emp searching in a data base or massive trove of data compiled under section 702. you have heard many examples of overreaching of back-door searchers and i won't repeat them but purchasing data and other protected information i

i listened to the democrat representative today, former c.i.a. officer.aid at the moment the united states is making day-to-day decisions on the strategic alliances because one guy wants to keep his job. he's talking about the house speaker. is she right? is this a lot about the politics of one man? >> the criticism is very much about what kevin mccarthy, the speaker of the house, is prepared to do in an effort for several preservation, in an effort to keep his speakership. i think it's worth zooming out here and reminding our viewers of all t context to this because when mccarthy got his job for speaker of the house it came after vote after vote after vote for it to be septembered and agreed to and it came to calve kratz and coon sessions and those were linked to the bunts and federal spending. we're here, this is crunch time and the moment that kevin mccarthy has to come good on those promises. so in the house, around five lawmakers on the right of the republican party are starting to hold him to account on various different regards, putting him in a ve

reporter: the first woman to lead the powerful senate intelligence committee, feinstein exposed how the c.i.a. tortured terrorism suspects after 9/11, adamant that the findings be made public. she cast her final vote just yesterday, resisting calls to retire, feinstein saying she would step down at the end of this term. >> there are times for all things under the sun, and i think that will be the right time. >> reporter: david, at 90, she was the oldest member of the senate, but working right up until the very end. her friend, former congresswoman jane harman sharing this picture of the two of them last night, saying they spoke for an hour about all the things feinstein said she wished to accomplish for the country. >> david: wow, that image. democrats and republicans coming together on this today. mary, thank you. we're going to turn now to the news out of georgia tonight and what this could mean for president trump. the first plea deal in the election interference case against trump and 18 alleged coconspirators. this was a surprise today, one of the coconspirators pleading guilty. here's a

it cites the former c.i.a. inspector general, john hell inspector general, john hell >> who, in 2005, wrote the following to the then-director of the cia which clearly states the situation with respect to this report years later as well, and i quote: we have found that the agency, over the decades, has continued to get itself into messes related to interrogation programs for one overriding reason. idwe do not document and learn from our experience. each generation of officers is left to improvise anew with problematic results for our officers as individuals and for our agency. i believe that to be true. i agree with mr. halverson. his a comments are true today tt this must change. on march 11, 2009, the committee voted 14-1 to begin a review of the cia's detention and interrogation program. over the past five years, a small team of committee investigators poredded over the more than 6.3 million pages of cia records the leader spoke about to complete this report or what we call the study. it shows that the cia's

so go check out c.i.a. we also have a twitter account as well and you can look at many different artifacts there as well. in the early part of the 1950s, the cia had a real problem. it extremely hard to get into the soviet union to get information out. and so the cia decided, well, if you can't go in, what if you go over and was this period of time incredible creativity to try and figure out the secure ity issue? it first started off with the bomber. the idea that the soviet union had many more nuclear bombers than the us did, and that really worried over here. so president eisenhower came to cia and said, we to know. and so what is cia do in 18 months? they go from the drawing board to operational status of the u-2 airplane. it flies at 70,000 feet and it flies so high that neither missiles nor airplanes from the soviet union get to it and on its very first pass over the soviet union collects information on their military airbases and dispels the bomber gap. in fact, we had many, many more bombers than the

she took on the c.i.a.and asserted congress's oversight authority during the investigation into the united states use of torture. and through all of her accomplishments, this one and all the others, she always displayed the quintessential grace and strength. none of these sons of guns against her ever rattled her. i remember a few years back when a nasty senator tried to put senator feinstein down in a condescending, many would way. she acted with strength and poise and integrity and within three minutes she put this colleague in his place. and by the end of it, everyone in the room on both sides of the aisle were smiling. that was diane to a t, powerful, prepared, unflappable. she had to be. whenever she did something, she was often the first to do it. she was elected as the first woman president of the san francisco board of supervisors. the first woman to serve as mayor of san francisco. the first woman to serve as u.s. senator for california. the first woman to chair both the senate rules and intelligen

this week we learned that c.i.a. whistle blowers told the covid select committee the c.i.a. bribed its analyst to deny the lab leak theory. the whistle blower believed the six analysts pointed towards the lab theory and they were given a monetary incentive to change their position. earlier the f.d.a. approved new covid-19 boosters for children s young as 6 months old. just one panel member argued the new shot should initially be recommended only for older people. c.d.c.'s own data shows giving one million teens the covid vaccine will save between 10-1 o'-- 0-1 life and cause up to 200,000 side effects while pfizr and moderna make thousands on te contract. how about health? we're funding a health care system broken by washington and big insurance and average americans did no long ear ford health care or go to doctors of their choice. obamacare is set to cost you 6% more in 2024. some plans may strike 10%. when i had cancer about 11 years ago, i went to m.d. anderson, to the best of my understanding, under the obamacare plan i'd hae to use as a member of congress,i wouldn't be

leading the charge for an assault weapons ban in 1994, and senate intelligence chair, she took on the c.i.awater boarding of prisoners, holding hearings into the bush administration's harsh interrogation techniques. in later years, colleagues faulted her performance during supreme court confirmations, praising republican lindsey graham for getting trunk nominee amy coney barrett confirmed, just weeks before the 2020 election. >> this has been one of the best senate hearings that i've participated in. >> reporter: but through political and personal trials, dianne feinstein's legacy as a trailblazer endures. she is really extraordinary in so many ways. and she is someone who brought people together, both sides of the aisle. and people feel a lot of attention, today, tonight, and in the future, about the role she played, and she was a very good example that we should follow. >> an important reflection. an important legacy. andrea mitchell for us there, thank you so much. >>> well, the deadline for congress to take action and avoid a government shutdown is coming up pretty quickly, with no real

. >> ignatius the dinner party iiu gatekeeper and c.i.a. butler is turning washington's whispersa bu into a rallying cr. the message is clear. it is now officially acceptablet for the democrat media establishment to respect fullynn urge president biden to gracefully announce he won't be seeking a second term. he's done his job. he beat trump, invested t in america. so why don't they want himheag to run again? >> here's whairey biden is i ste down the barrel of impeachment. the american intelligence community haericanncs to tie up ends, just like they did with the mueller investigation ,durham investigation, and the lab leak bribes, urginbrg biden to step aside is just another cover up and impeachment. >>r exposes the bureau and the agency the american intelligence community was complicit in a decade of biden family business. they have the bidens on firee surveillance wiretaps with chinese agents. the treasury has 150 suspicious activity reports. hunter biden was used . rroundinr overseas that's why everybody surrounding the biden families i

we have since learned that from former acting c.i.a. director mike morel, the infamous spies who lie letter, a letter that impacted a presidential race, was led by no one other than antoney blinken. seen by 51 intelligent experts. intended by morel to give joe biden a way to refute the hunter biden laptop story. ahead of a presidential debate. you think this would be worthy of investigation. if not outright impeachment. but certainly defunding. mr. chairman, i reserve. the chair: the gentleman -- members are reminded to refrain from engaging in permanents toward the president. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from california seek recognition? ms. lee: mr. chairman, i rise in opposition to this amendment. the chair: the gentlewoman is recognized. ms. lee: mr. chairman, this is really despicable to target dedicated public servants and threaten their livelihoods. public servants doing their jobs and carrying out the policy of the administration regardless of which administration it is. they serve and they should be commended not demon
