the fbi and the cia. these were not strangers here, and there's no question we were surprised at the final report. how and why that happened is beyond me. i don't know. but in hindsight, we probably -- when that came out, yes, we should have done that ahead of time. on the off chance because we didn't know what the official final paper was going to look like. we should have written our own. these are our beliefs, rick, blah, and this is the reason, but we didn't. caused lots of problems. >> this is about the tv program. i watched the two episodes that were aired. is there any way to see the other episodes? i would like to see them as well. i will say this, there is hope. and there is -- the reason there is hope is because the president of abc announced to the press that the assets will be shown in some format, whether it's cable, whether it's netflix, whether it's back on abc proper. now, he said that one week after he cancelled us. but -- no, i have hope. i have hope. it's sort of one of these, stay tune

they are psychologist and the cia kept paying them.'s telling the novant it's not working, this is torture, it's illegal. there was a huge civil war within our agencies over this issue. >> so when the sky started interrogating him in a negative manner, or torturing him, that was before they were signed off by the president that they could start this. they started in advance. did those people have repercussions, the interrogators? >> i believe it started a couple dates and events but like co-author please they started right after it was approved. it's really a great area. and how it was approved is totally wrong. i mean, it's still illegal on the books in the u.s. to waterboarding someone pick in 1946 we assassinated japanese soldiers for waterboarding our u.s. soldiers that were captured. it was an offense punishable under death. and it's still on the books but yet there's another law that contradicts it. so it's, the legality on this especially being a law professor just fascinates me to no end. i can't understand how the law got so j

i was going to be a cia liaison officer. rent was working with me and brought a foreign delegation to visit the fbi and to take them to the cia headquarters as well for a briefing on international terrorism. he invited me to join me at the afghani headquarters to join this group. some of whom i knew. and get a two are of the building. to beght since i was good a liaison officer it would be a great opportunity. frank and i go with you a lot operations, we had other dramatic expenses that we went through. got a me outside and we cappuccino. injuring the day. we were just waiting for the delegation. to the fbi headquarters and their operations center. a.m. wehere around 9:00 cannot find the person we were supposed to meet. to escortre asked them out of the operations center. there had been a incident in new york or a plane hit a building. we assumed it was a small plane and went downstairs. we went to the cafeteria and we did not know what to do. that is what we saw the news report for the first time. we saw what was really goi

the syrian army can only focus on one terrorist organization at a time now and a tweet by a former cia operative that haven't mcmullan i want to read you something he said he said my job and if the i.a.e.a. with to go out and convince al qaeda operatives to instead work with us now does this help explain why al qaeda is so strong in syria right now. well i mean it's it's it tells you a lot i mean first of all i mean you know you have to remember that this is the organizational kind of that we spent sixteen years and six trillion dollars and but this was our you know existential enemy and you know now the cia personnel are saying well you know in their apartments so that's that's one good point to remember what house discombobulated this whole thing is to make a statement like that i read that statement of absence remarkable he later tried to say that when of a college professor suggested the same thing he said oh you know do you teach this garbage to your to your students so he's going to figure out what what side he's on but yeah. this is very definitely. these these fighters or you k

did not know i there was looking for a spy. >> do you have a cia badge or fbi -- >> cia badge. >> theym the fbi? >> within the first week, everybody in the building knew i was from the fbi. they didn't particularly care for me being there, but they definitely knew who i was. >> inside the cia headquarters build, people were whining and bitching about all kind of things, the fbi this and that. the fbi has a job to do just like we do. we clearly had a serious problem. >> when i get over there, good night all my briefings -- i get all my briefings and learned i had over 300 cases in the cia where cia employees had failed counterintelligence polygraph. that means you had 300 potential spies in the cia that had never been resolved. at the time, if you fail a cia polygraph, nothing ever happens to you. aldrich ames failed several times, and nothing was done. >> that's a being number, 300. how -- that's a big number, 300. how did this change the way the cia would vet people and assess possible threats? >> what happens is if you fail the polygraph you immediately go into kind of a remediation

in 1970s, ted carter wanted to clean up the cia.so he appointed ted sorensen, kennedy's chief advisor, to be directed. all of the sudden all of the marital history of sorensen with his first wife and that he was a conscientious objector during world war ii, all kinds of crack came out and sorensen had to withdraw his nomination. the deep state taking care of its own and stopping a liberal from taking over that agency who could expose them for they had been doing. now, i believe that there are two key ways to defeat this. the first is i believe that we need a prosecutor of our own to investigate the leaks that are the core of the mueller investigation. where did we get the information that paul manifort made almost $100 million in eastern europe? not from paul manifort, but leaks from the special prosecutor.where did we get the information that after his house was searched, the agents told him you will be indicted? we got that from the investigation. all of these guys are specialists in leaking and they are using leaking to build a c

agent so the cia trying to the russians because presumably one thousand russians originally. for them what's your impression of. well i don't have much respect for the cia on principle the libertarians are very annoyed with and if the very existence of the cia spy agencies have been around for a long time in just about every country and i think one can find out what's going on in other countries without having a secret government that's what i don't like i don't like are being involved in affairs that the congress has no no knowledge about the fact that they're out looking for employees that disturbs me but most of what the cia does disturb so anyway. i'm trying to get to try to make some sense of what appears to be a world of madness around us so the nub of the story today about r.t. was that r.t. has done something wrong by paying for adverts on social media to advertise its company. and something is wrong with that apparently is this not the same thing though that the u.s. government is doing its advertising the belief that russia has done something wrong whether it's dopi

officials in charge of the program said cia actually top cia officials in charge of the program the top general in charge so to speak in charge of the program continue to argue for the program to continue even under mr trump even under foggy but are you saying that didn't happen and i'm saying american never gave any to al qaeda groups regardless of this international degree you know you're right i mean some some of that happened but think about it. but not in any statistically significant point let me put the point to patrick patrick you said earlier that from the very beginning you thought that there was no real chance of the opposition winning a military victory and i thought but what what but what should syrians have done who were opposed to assad who were being killed by such as they've just surrendered because they had no chance they were told by people like yourself that they had no chance no this is this is very difficult to you know this isn't you know this isn't many syrians most syrians i know felt they were choosing between bad and worse. and they did think that the alte

the cia program that you were talking about is something of a very famous and is an effort i was very familiar with i've written about and the program was a joke that the west was never interested in for the in the syrian opposition a military victory they were not interested american officials will tell you they don't want assad to actually be toppled militarily they want to assad to the kind of to come to the negotiating table so they are trying to turn up the heat against assad on the ground a little bit but it was it was very meager it was very small it was never meant to me and they don't that's why the obama administration. how do you think about it you. brought up the saudis revolt and i'm going to go do we have you brought up the saudis in the kind of do we have saudi troops on the ground in syria know do we have iranian troops yes do we have saudi militias like the iraqi militias in syria fighting on the bow on behalf of the cause or an opposite point do you have a power do we have the united states actually fighting look at russians are fighting on behalf of the regime also

the cia, he and the cia saw something in the course of their spying, in the course of their intelligence collection that gave them reason to worry that people associated with the trump campaign might be in league with the russian government as the russians were attacking our election. so the cia last summer saw something that concerned them. that cia concern led to the creation of an inner agency working group and that is what ultimately led to the fbi counterintelligence investigation into whether or not the trump campaign colluded with russia. that is the counter intelligence investigation and now criminal investigation that has today become the robert mueller special inquiry. that's how we got here but it all started last summer and according to this report from cnn tonight, sometime after june of last year, so roughly in the same time frame of when the cia was convening this task force that led to the russia investigation, sometime after june last year even though the fbi had stopped surveying paul manafort about the ukraine stuff, sometime after june last year, the fbi went back to
