other fascinating aspect that sperry points out about clapper want comments, clapper claims that somearts of the dossier were corroborated. all right, the question is, which ones? and how? now, remember, the house intelligence committee memo exposes how in their application for that fisa warrant that the fbi says it verified the dossier with the yahoo news article that was written by michael isikoff and michael isikoff's source was christopher steele. so the fbi never actually independently verified any of this. so is that what clapper is talking about? so it's time now for both breneman and clap tore face congress. they need to go back under oath and talk about what they knew, what they found and when they found it. we did reach out to harry reid, john brennan and james clapper for comments. they didn't get back to us. i'm not going to hold my breath. pressure is mounting on former obama national security advisor susan rice to start answering questions. why did she email herself on president trump's inauguration day about an important meeting that president obama had with former fbi

so is that what clapper is talking about? so it's time for brennan and clapper to face congress. they now need to go back under oath and talk about what they knew, what they found and when they found it. we did reach out to harry reid, john brennan and james clapper for comment, they didn't get back to us. i'm not going to hold my breath. also, tonight, pressure is mounting on suzanne rice to start answering questions. why did she email herself on president trump's inauguration day about an important meeting president obama had with former f.b.i. director comey way back 15 days earlier on january 5th. now senators grassly and graham are out with a letter that rice explain herself. according to senators, they discuss the january 15th email as a national archives request between meetings between president obama, and james comey regarding the bureau's russian investigation. so in the email to self, self, let me send an email to self, which graham is calling disturbing, rice writes president obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every asp

yes james clapper. my good friend clapper brab the best known for lying straight faced to the under oath to congress saying the u.s. government doesn't collect data on millions of americans and. nothing like when martha stewart lied about a stock trade and ended up in the pokey all right this guy. is to congress and good for awarded with a job on prime time. but but i'm sure that just because he did that i'm sure he won't to have cheryl tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth to you me and anderson cooper. of course of course he and handers should have a lot to talk about since anderson cooper was an intern at the cia. i had a crappy crappy let's talk about it we were both in the deep thing. and clapper has made some dough from the private side of the military industrial complex i mean what's the point if you don't question the chips right from two thousand and six to two thousand and seven clapper worked for g.o.i. satellite company in october two thousand and six as chief operating of

one of the biggest liars and leakers in washington right up there with comey, warner, brennan and clapper, notably all the people who have come out and said that this is a violation. adam leaves closed committee hearings to illegally leak

>> you know, i don't know about clapper but we know brennan in mid 2016 was pushing this narrative ofsion. it's hard for me that he didn't know about the dossier. look, i was an intelligence analyst for 19 years. we vacuum up information. we look at everything. brennan had the dossier in mid 2016. i'm sure of that. and i suspect he made representations to both intelligence committees that he did. and if that's the case, he is in a lot of trouble. >> martha: fred fleitz, great to have you here. >> good to be here. >> martha: president trump slaption what he calls unprecedented sanctions on the north koreans, upping the pressure, while send ago new emissary to south korea. then guess who is back. governor john kasich. word is that he thinks there is a real possibility that trump won't run again. and that this could possibly be his time. >> trump got, you know, $1.8 billion worth of free media. i got like none, okay? >> none of the free media was very positive. >> they are starting to hear me and we are starting to rise. (yelling) holy moly, that's a lot of miles! shh-h-h-h! what's in yo

you had my former boss jim clapper on. that would have been his job and under his purview. you know, i'd also point out, ali, it's not just the political system that's under threat. cleared industry is being attacked by russian cyber groups like fancy bear. that's a problem for us as well. >> clapper raises the alarm every time we talk to him about this. i wouldn't have guessed that sort of position is political and the next person doesn't have the same general set of priorities and russian interference in the election wouldn't be priority one, two or three. >> you're absolutely right. the intel community prides itself on being apolitical. it's not our job to take political sides. we do our best to take an honest approach, an honest approach to all issues like that. >> charles, thank you for joining us, former senior adviser to the director of national intelligence. >>> back to the markets. we've improved a little bit. it is a volatile day on wall street. the dow falling about 577 points right now. we are going to keep an eye on this for you. i will tell you, the thing i wa

in may 2016, clapper knowing what he did at that time, said they were targeting the campaign.n july was when the dnc was hacked. if you remember, donald trump's first instinct was to say the dnc hacked itself. it wasn't until september that the entire intelligence community came together and said that they unanimously believe it was russia and they had intelligence that putin himself did it. the next time that obama's putin, he told him to drop it, stop. playing politics is not saying anything because they were so worried about what donald trump would say about the legitimacy of the election. if you remember, he was questioning a great deal that they the white house only wanted to speak publicly if they had paul ryan and mitch mcconnell with them. paul ryan agreed and mitch mcconnell refused. he said, if you do this, i'm going to say you're doing this just to hurt donald trump. >> martha: what they said in my public and what they should have been going behind the scenes are very different things. they apparently did not have the hair on fire and what we would like to see from

it seems this is what the clapper report was referencing. we now have to wait and see what the mueller probe does. >> paul: some of the clinton partisans were saying this was a big enough operation they could have turned 70000 votes in a couple of key states i'm in the election. they're doing that to say that clayton lost not because of her own campaign but because of the russian influence. there's no way to know that. we really don't know how much this would've influenced any votes. >> no. the important point is they reference money amount that was a budget for this operation. the talking millions of dollars. in the context of a presidential campaign, this is not the kind of thing that could have potentially made an enormous difference. a lot of this effort went not to help a campaign or hurting another, but on issues they're trying to show opposition. they're told to gone target people that are unhappy with the social and economic situation and to show discord in the american political system. >> paul: there's no question that there was a

. >> we have james clapper calling out the president's silence earlier today. he says, what is it that we're going to do about the threat posed by the russians? he never talks about that. he never talks about, he only talks about himself. collusion or not. is the president going to be forced to do something because of everybody that's coming out after these indictments? >> the problem is there isn't any mechanism to force him to do it. congress passed the sanctions by a huge margin and he hasn't implemented them because he has the authority to slow roll them or slow them down. it's really all up to him and his administration. great story by peter baker in today's "new york times." we have a foreign adversary who is coming to interfere in our elections and the commander in chief is not at the helm. he's not there to stop it. for the reasons we discussed he does not seem inclined to try to stop it. >> seems the government is going at this alone without a leader. >> that's right. look, you can look at different intelligence agencies, right, so all of the intel chi

with all of this going on what a better time to speak with james clapper, former director of nationalntelligence. all saying releasing this memo is dangerous. do you agree with the assessment? >> without having seen the memo but certainly inferentially yes. and i was struck by the fbi statement today which didn't say anything about sources and methods jeopardy. what it spoke to was errors of facts through omissions. so i am not terribly comforted by news that this memo will be published with redactions because i don't think that is reflective of correcting it for omissions of fact which i think was a concern of the minority, the democrats on the committee. >> which is essentially saying that it is cherry picking information. that if you have pages and pages and dozens of pages underlying intelligence information and you end up with a four page memo that it is possibly cherry picked. >> yes. and you know, i have seen this happen before in the congress particularly when you are into a partisan issue like this where only one side is writing something and you know, staffers are smart and

the former head of the national intelligence agency james clapper said so. they were very successful. and another thing on this indictment, i think part of why this was out now, this was a lot of concern with the intelligence community that this is going to continue. and that is sort of, the reason wy it is my belief that some of this has come out in the way it is. and the other issue and you raised this in the open here about how we had heard nothing about this in terms of the president defending us, our country. and in other situations like this when we had the north korea hack, the sony hack, president obama, there were sanctions and there weren't even charges with that. chinese hackers that we, there were sanctions as a result. when these kinds of nation state you indictment, charges brought against people to believe to be acting against our interest, you usually see something from the white house or some reaction. >> and not only that, congress overwhelmingly passed more sanctions against russia. and that is something that the president has not followed

here to discuss is former director of national intelligence james clapper.h us. your reaction to the president's statement moments ago saying investigators and leaders of the fbi and justice department center politicized the investigative process. >> well, it strikes me as the pot calling the kettle black. i think this is almost amusing if it weren't such a serious subject is. i think the department of justice, and particularly the fbi, have done the right thing by trying to defend themselves. and i was particularly struck by the fbi statement which cited errors of omission of fact rather than jeopardize the sources. >> why? >> transparency is a great thing. but let's be fact al and objective about it. this is clearly a blatant political act. and i hope the fbi particularly takes the opportunity to rebut the memo and include those to the extent that they can. >> there is an implication in the president's statement this morning that it is the leadership politically biased not the rank and file. is there any narrative to that distinction, especially in dealing

james clapper, director of national intelligence, john brennan running the cia, james comey, directoruary 2017 after the election the clapper report comes out saying that we have evidence that there are russian and cyber-attacks going on and we should be paying attention to this. after that, the narrative starts in the press that there was collusion, the word collusion between the trump campaign and the russians. this proves there was meddling, but no collusion. so why didn't they reveal what was going on at the time it was happening? paul: that's a very good question. if they didn't know, why didn't they know because you'll think that they had the ability to know at least a lot of this -- if they did know, why didn't they say anything until after the election, were they going to keep it quiet if hillary clinton had won, that's a very important question and let's talk about the collusion issue. trump is saying no collusion, therefore i am vindicated, but, in fact, we don't really know what else mueller might know regarding contacts between americans and russia. >> well, that's one of

clapper. >> i just pumped into devin on the floor. i don't think the deadline has expired for us to get answers. you know, john brennan and clapper and others have a lot to say when they're on television shows. so i would expect them to have at least enough time to answer some pretty rudimentary but fundamental questions about what they knew about the dossier and when they knew it. we have had -- i interviewed brennan, what, several months ago? >> martha: yeah. we played that the other night. >> i don't think he was aware that that dossier was used in a court proceeding. >> martha: another topic for you. hope hicks is going to testify in front of the house intel committee tomorrow we understand. what is the scope of the questioning with one of the issues that delayed that? what is the scope of the questioning for her tomorrow? >> you know what, martha, i hate to be a bad republican. but i don't think congress ought to be limiting the scope of the -- it has to be relevant, obviously. we can't ask her about something that happened in hi

you know, the former head of the national intelligence agency, james clapper said so. the former cia director said so. they were very successful. and another thing on this indictment. i think part of why this is out now, there's a lot of concern in the intelligence community this is going to continue. and this sends a message to russians, that we're onto you and we're going to know when you're doing it and how you're doing it. and this is sort of my belief why this has come out the way it has. and then you raised it, how we have heard nothing about this in terms of the president defending us, our country. in other situations like this when we have the north korea hack, the sony hack, president obama, there were sanctions and there weren't even charges related to that. the department of justice never announced any charges. there were chinese hackers that there were sanctions as a result. when these kind of nation state indictments, when charges are brought against people believed to be acting against our interest of people associated with that, directed by a nation or a

course the democrats the f.b.i. a whole host of former deep state officials from the liar liar james clapper on down came out and declared that releasing this was a pack of democracy attack on security national security the heavens would fall well. i think the u.s. is still there last time. i checked anyway after that but you know what do you know what the interesting thing was and the flipside of what mark is saying is that you know it was a threat to national security it's an affront to our intelligence agency to have law enforcement you know use it used to be the liberals that used to be very you know worried about law enforcement everything is flipped over right now ok but the interesting thing is immediately after it was released i don't know if anybody these liberals or c.n.n. or m s n b c actually read it but then they decide it's. nothing to see here move along how could they within one news cycle it was a threat to national security then move along exactly to see here i think what we should prevent from happening here is this let's move on attitude prevailing thinking because we und

juliet, i want to start with you and your thoughts on what we heard there from general clapper. >> i think he's exactly right. remember, mueller has been spending a lot of time on various theories of the case. one is what did russia in fact do which was -- we got some sense of that from the indictments yesterday. then there's the whole financial piece which is where was money -- who was it flowing to, and why did the russians so badly want trump to win, and why was trump willing to ask the russians to help him to win. we can't forget that trump -- the trump campaign was spending a lot of time essentially urging a lot of this behavior. i think we're only seeing a piece of it. but one of the reasons why we should remember that these indictments came out was because there's a lot of hints, right. there's various people who might be implicated in the conspiracy who are u.s. citizens or related to the trump campaign, but also we have an election coming up. we know we're not going to arrest anyone in the indictments, they're in russia. but to name and shame, expose russia for what they did

one of the biggest liars and leakers in washington right up there with comey, warner, brennan and clapper, notably all the people who have come out and said that this is a violation. adam leaves closed committee hearings to illegally leak confidential information. must be stopped. there's so much to parse in this. all sorts of as you know the fbi and the doj didn't want the classified information in the memo to come out. >> that's right. >> so the president often picks which leaks he likes. >> that's right. he's also recycling nicknames i see. listen, one thing to understand is whatever the president does and this is to david's point, this investigation will go on. this one fisa is one investigative tool in one case. >> what if fires rod rosenstein? >> he can fire rod rosenstein and fire mueller. this investigation will continue just like it continued after he fired james comey. these balls are rolling legally, the fbi is mandated to continue to investigate any national security threat until it comes to its national conclusion, until its resolved. there are many cases. some are in the jud

reporter: current and former government officials, james comey, john brennan, james clapper have until friday to say when they knew the dossier was funded by dnc . >> if they don't answer though 10 questions truthfully, and fully yes. reporter: responding to republican allegation that fbi, justice department were guilty of surveilling abuses in the campaign. democrat counter memo was released over week end, concluding was there intelligence beyond trump dossier. >> fbi acted appropriately in seeking a war a warrant in cartr page. reporter: democrat say multiple sources that are redacted corroborates do areaal -- dossier allegations, conflicting with comey's testimony. 3 months after the warrant he briefed incoming president at trump tower and considered dossier unverified. democrat emphasis that fisa court whether or no knew it wasl document it was withheld because of fbi city dig to protect sources. >> we can't have a secret court operate like this in american. reporter: republican memo said mccabe testified that bureau would never have -- without dossier, democrat, challenge finding

leipsic extend their own peace and streak to four games against clapper and look man well i want to start to life in germany. without results gave leverkusen the chance to extend their lead in second if they could beat in form freiburg but first let's take a look at bae and the spite a string of injuries munich were expected to make light work of hosts minds a club teetering dangerously close to the dreaded drop zone with fans growing frustrated could they deliver a shock victory. fine sandro wagner started for the first time since his winter move the hose mines have the best of the year the chances alexandra marks in perth and wide by and the pressure of a corner half an hour in front rebury fired them into the lead river e second of the season. minds behind it got worse before half time comments rodriquez with some fine control in the finish to boot doubling byron's advantage. the rampant varians are on the march to another title while minds are very much heading in the wrong direction. so we got to. know in the relegation places but it doesn't change much for us we've got to win games

i want to play one more piece of it with former director clapper on russian interference and how longake a look at that. >> there are historical records that they've attempted to interfere in virtually all of the national elections since the '60s, but never, never this aggressive, direct or multidimensional. >> tell me about the origin of doing these interviews and why you thought it was important for americans to hear specifically from these two gentlemen. >> well, what i felt is that any time our country has been attacked in the past, whether it's 9/11 or pearl harbor, we've always come together as a country, you know, the old adage that partisanship ends at the water's edge, it seems to have disappeared. i mean, here we had an attack by a foreign enemy power and we have remained divided. we are not doing anything to shore up our defenses and to create protocols for what offensively we should be doing. make no mistake. we are in a cyber war with -- annen me power aan enemy power and we need to help people understand the gravity of what is happening. you just played clips who two guy

what about brennan and clapper?did homeland security know and why didn't they do anything about it? why is it more than a year after the election this is finally being illuminated? it clearly -- the russians wanted discord throughout the united states. and people like devin nunes for years have been talking about this. so russia is no fan of the united states of america. we better get used to it. they'll do it again. >> bill: rush limbaugh has a very different theory than most. watch. >> this is all politics and it hasn't changed from the get-go. it is about protecting hillary and obama. obama is the primary person being protected here. all of this spying and all of this collusion to destroy trump happened with his knowledge and probably encouragement. and the reason hillary isn't charged is because that would mean obama would have to be exposed as participating. >> bill: what do you think of his theory there? >> i don't know we've seen anything directly implicating president obama. but there are a lot of questions

before edward snowden exposed the mass collection of american's phone records, then james clapper was by congress if intelligence services gathered, quote, any type of data at all on millions of americans. he answered no, sir. that was a lie. and he admitted it later, describing his answer as quote clearly erroneous. i suppose that's one way of putting it. this is the same james clapper the bur burr cat who secretly sr vealed americans and lied about it the in congress and now announcing donald trump as a threat to our democracy. it turns out that secret surveillance is one of the deep state's favorite activities. the fbi opened over 80,000 assessments between 2009 and '11. with agents allowed to open those assessments proactively without any factual basis. congressman devin nunes has brought all of this into the spotlight with his memo accusing the fbi of abusing its power. but nunez voted to review the surveillance program for another six years. whether it's pushing its own agenda, blockin blocking the agf elected politicians or using big brother surveillance to spy on the rest of u

with cnn national security analyst james clapper the former director of narnl intelligence. thank you for joining us. i laid it out, the facts of what the obama dprgs did and the trump administration did and have done so far. so president trump falsely claiming he is tougher on russia than obama, which is laughable when we won't call out vladimir putin. >> well, don, i think first, that's an excellent and accurate recitation of sequence of events here in terms of dealing with russia, both obama administration and this administration. and increasingly the administration is reminding me of the minister of information in george orwells in request "1984" where up is down, black is white and war is peace. and the assertion that president trump has been tougher on russia than the obama administration is laughable. he has yet to acknowledge the profound threat that russia is posing to our system and the way they undermine still today our political fabric. and what's worse, he has failed to lead the -- what has to be a whole of government approach to thwarting this and stopping it i

. >> james clapper was on earlier. >> a friend of mine was recently going -- >> james clapper mentioned the same thing and explained that to us. i want to move on. i want to you weigh in because you would have knowledge of this. >> right. >> another big topic today is russia. all the intelligence chiefs at the congressional hearing were united in that russia has and keeps trying to disrupt elections. i want you to listen to this and get your reaction. watch this. >> we expect russia to continue using propaganda, social media, false flag personas and other means to influence and build on the wide range of operations and exacerbate social and political fissures in the united states. there should be no doubt that russia perceived the past efforts were successful and views the 2018 u.s. midterm elections as a potential target for russian influence operations. >> so ambassador, how does the intelligence community counter this threat when the president refuses to acknowledge the threat? >> well, whether the president gets personally involved or not, this requires a substantial amount of effor

clapper was saying it's r.t., spu sputnik, very big organizations.hat's interesting about the new case, it's really chump change invested. >> a million dollars, i think. >> in terms of facebook adds, a couple hundred dollars here or there. compare that to the broadcasting board of governs, a u.s. federal agency, funding radio free europe, putting out these defamatory articles about the trump movement, and complete defamation. it's extraordinary. i'm hoping that, you know, as the -- as they're now entering phase two, the house intelligence committee, they'll get to the bottom of all that. >> you're saying they're doing a much more expansive job at trying to sway political opinion, radio free europe, other areas, twitter, all kinds of different places, right? >> absolutely. the defamatory articles against the trump campaign and myself were there's little links on there. you know, you can tweet this out, or send this out via facebook, linkedin. >> taxpayer money going to that? >> over a hundred million dollars was the budget that year for the broadcasti

, he has gone after the justice system of this country and going after comey, he's gone after jim clapper and brennan from the cia. that obviously represents the intelligence community. he's also going after members of congress, of course, adam schiff, and he was also going after the news media praising fox & friends saying its competition were untruthful. so about every corner of life that is subjecting this administration to scrutiny is on the receiving end of the president's broad sides this morning. and wolf, one other thing we should point out, there are republicans really eager to hear the president talk about his state of the union speech. that was completely overshadowed last week. and here's the president in ohio this afternoon. he's supposed to be talking about his tax cuts, something the white house criticizes us for not covering enough, yet the president is stepping on his own economic message and going after these various institutions here in washington that have been subjecting his white house and his administration to scrutiny through this russia investigation. >> it was in

higher office is one of the biggest liars and leakers right up there with comey, warner, brennan, and clapper this should and must be stopped. i actually disagree with president trump. schiff is auditioning. he wants a job on conspiracy tv msnbc.s kind of like comey assistantan just got hired by fake news at cnn. news. sara carter reporting that schiff is leading a media campaign along with former obama administration officials and democrats to attack congressman nunes and the four-page memo. this fierce opposition is not surprising, but everyone involved in this deep state effort to spy on the trump campaign and to damage and destroy a duly electeded president. as of tonight, i can promise you they are all scared out of their minds.d because they are being exposed. here's what democrats and these high-ranking officials -- well, they don't want you to know about that details in the nunes memo, these are the major revelations. this friday, former fbi director andrew mccade testified before congress that without the dossier, the fisa warrant to spy on carter page would have never been approved.

same look on senator biden's face when he asked jim clapper are you guys spying on americans and clappery? they don't. brian: how many times do this months before we get the story he knows the answer and gets it out by putting these people on the record with the questions. judge: yes. brian: he knows when he is not telling the truth. judge: guy so fed up with this that he is leaving the congress with all the positive good that he has done by exposing this. brian: he puts people on the record. judge: yes. brian: it makes you wonder about the candor of this entire thing when you see these guys in these high positions holding so many of our nation's secrets. judge: is this another way for bob nowrl examine? yes. is he? we don't know. we don't know where it's going to go. he is going to rewhat he has. brian: i don't see any indication is he pursuing the other angle, the clinton previous. judge: i'm sorry to say that i agree with you. sorry to say that he should but i don't see any of it. steve: devin nunes is going after the state department. phase 3 is after the intel. judge: bob mueller ca

what did barack obama, lying jim comey know and what did the dni jim clapper on tv every day talking about, this what did they do with the information they had in 2014 to try to stop this from occurring. >> you are right. there was criticism that president obama didn't d. not act quickly or strongly enough when he found out that russians had meddled. i want to add to something you just pointed out what the special counsel's office said the influence campaign lost in 2014 but eventually turned to support, quote: the presidential campaign of then candidate donald j. trump and disparaging hillary clinton. but i want to move on because meanwhile, corey, you have three -- you have got three businesses, russian businesses, 13 russian individuals indicted for waging an information warfare, to meddle in the 2016 election cycle. as you well know, national security advisor mcmaster is saying it's incontrovert tillable and disputable that russia interfered in 2016 election. so, now that president trump feels okay, the books are closed, case over, no collusion, will president trump now focus wit

one of the biggest liars and leakers in washington, right up there with comey, warner, brennan and clapper! adam leaves closed committee hearings to illegally leak confidential information. must be stopped!" schiff wasn't about to let her let that go unanswered. "mr. president, i see you have had a busy morning of executive time. instead of tweeting false mirrors, the american people would appreciate if you turned off the tv had helped solve the funding crisis, protected dreamers, or really anything else." president trump did take some time to focus on something else, tax reform. not mentioning the huge drop in the stock market despite taking credit for its rise but breaking the growth potential of his tax reform plan. >> you can work hard to put if you don't have the right leader setting the right tone, in all fairness, not even saying. i am nonbraggadocio's. but if i don't set a tone like you are not going to keep taking our jobs. you are not going to keep doing what you're doing. >> president trump said because of tax reform, republicans may book historic trends in the november midterms

our reporting is that it does include comey, james clapper, brandon.re could be some state department officials as well. we know that he said that's part of their probe, looking at what people within the state department knew. a number of state department folks under the taft administration have been out there publicly talking about this saying is there any way they could not say -- even though i talked about it publicly, i'm not going to answer your turn questions? >> they would be hard-pressed to make that argument. if on one hand they are out there beating the media drum and appearing in public talk about what they knew and when they knew it, i think it's that much harder for them to then rebuff him. the think the two things he's focusing on, number one, who got this? how far within the bloodstream of american law enforcement and intelligence community for the information and the dossier spread. and number two he's going to want to know when people got this information, did they know its source. where they made aware of the origin, or was it present

. >>> now outfront james clapper. great to have you with me.eciate your time as always. look, jared kushner had top security clearance and he used it. he was the top requester of information in the white house t he had the access to the presidential daily brief. and now that access is stripped. downgraded. what's your reaction, general? >> well, first, i think the chief of staff john kelly did the right thing. and i gather that kushner's clearance was one of perhaps 120 or 130 or so that at least that's whan been reported that were in a similar status that did not have access to tssia highest level of clearance access. so my impression is that john kelly made a decision across the board with everyone that was effect today include jared kushner which is the right judgment. now, as has been stated earlier, the president ultimately is the ultimate clearance granter, and so if he wants to make an exception, and still give his son-in-law access, he can do that. >> now, "the washington post" is reporting a couple of crucial things, general, one of th
