know that after leaving the white house brennan was allowed to keep his security clearance and that clearancencreased his value as an employee once he entered the sector. allowed him access to classified information which he could then selectively leak to his colleagues at msnbc. how does giving classified information to john brennan help american national security? well, it doesn't. it helps only john brennan. keep in mind this is a man who is accused his political enemies of treason, a death penalty offense. >> this is nothing short of treasonous because it is the betrayal of the nation. is he giving aid and comfort to the enemy. >> treasonous is defined as a betrayal of trust as well as aiding and abetting the enemy. that was the word that came to my mind. >> tucker: that was for the crime of holding a press conference with vladimir putin last summer in finland who was talking about the president. what you just saw is not stable behavior. john brennan is exactly the sort of person who should not have a security clearance. close to a year ago on this program we made that point. brennan no l

congressman jim jordan said he was impressed with klein's decisions on security clearances. laura?> laura: trace, thank you so much. so much for that scandal reporting, complete bunk. now onto another question: who was colluding with whom? the left is blame shifting on a story we have covered extensively on "the ingraham angle." the biden family's sketchy ties to ukraine. here is "the new york times" t headline: "biden faces conflict of interest questions that are being promoted by trump and allies." one of president barack obama's most senior advisors dan pfeiffer saying it is a conspiracy theory, "it is happening all over again, trump and his allies bully the doj into investigating, trump claims his opponent is corrupt." here to respond, here is peter t schweitzer, who wrote the book "secret empires," which exposed the biden family's corruption. break this down for our viewersr the ukraine connection, why this is not some pie-in-the-sky theory. >> when the book came out, and even today with "the new york times" confirming my reporting, the left is basically attacking me personall

this is not a man who should have a security clearance.o shortly after that aired, the president announced that he was revoking john brennan's security clearance. w that was, as we said, almost a year ago. it was july of 2018. what happened next? well, pretty much nothing. apparently, as of tonight, john brennan still has a security clearance, amazingly enough, as he works for msnbc. according to the "new york times," the president's order was, "hampered by aides who slow rolled the president and by justice department officials who fought mr. trump on it." keep in mind that paul ryan, then the speaker of the house, mocked the idea publicly when trump said he was going to revokes brennan's security clearance. according to the "new york times," the same thing happened with documents the president wanted declassified. the bureaucracy fought back against the elected president and won. this seems to be happening a lot recently. according to bob woodward's book, on multiple occasions, gary cohn, the national economic council director, prevented

it does take a while to get a security clearance. the i.c. is focused on that, trying to improve that very much so. >> it's a very slow process. >> it can be. >> are you involved in your role in the security clearance process at all? >> i work with human capital, our chief human capital office. we are working closely in that regard, because we do know that it will take a very diverse set of teams to fix that problem. >> do you see anything on the horizon here? this security clearance problem was part of the reason dni was created in the first place to create a transpairent process that everyone can use but it seems like the wait times have gotten longer, not shorter. >> at nga they are piloting a program where once a conditional offer of employment is offered, the candidate does not have to wait for the full duration of the adjudication process to begin work, that they are given work that is not at the top secret level. that way they can at least begin to be gainfully employed while they wait for the full adjudication of their clearance. we t

. >>> last month, with the cia security clearance, the only problem, no one actually did the work toake it happen. a person familiar with the process tells "the new york times" that the white house never followed through with the complicated bureaucratic work it would have taken to strip brennan of this security clearance. at the time, trump was consistently assailing brennan, an outspoken critic of the president for what trump claimed was erratic behavior. >> joining us now from washington, reporter for the hill, julia manchester. julia, let's talk about the stuff we've been covers so far. was this essentially a bluff by president trump in talking about john brennan and revoking his security clearance? what does it say about his administration if it did not follow through with his request? >> in the first part of your question, yasmin, it does seem like a bit of a block. we do know john brennan has made trips to capitol hill to brief democrats on various matters that might involve classified information. that is not known to the public. so that's a bit telling. however, i think it j

trump did not ask him for the clearances.investigated everything and he issued the secured clearances. host: anita kumar, do you want to jump in on that? guest: i'm not sure what he is referring to. therly, as i said before, white house feels like they have dealt with it. they had an internal review. the chief of staff, john kelly put out a memo, not going into great deal -- detail about specific people because it is a personnel issue. the democrats feel it is not over and they should have more information and they are trying to get that information. the white house will not give that information. it is unclear where this is going to go. are they going to get that information or are they going to take a better look? that was a back and forth they have been accused of giving clearances to people that should not have them. that is why the democrats wanted to talk to him. the white house said we will not let him talk. he has spoken privately behind closed doors. house democrats say they are getting some information. inot of what

sitting president after john brennan's outspoken criticism president trump stripped his security clearance phil does the intel community suffer did they lose institutional memory by freezing out somebody with brennan's no. well i would say it depends on the individual. brenna did rise up through the system but he was a senior manager right from the beginning so he didn't have a hands on feel for what was coming on in the intelligence community so i think he was probably the exception to the rule. twenty seven team six months after brennan left the cia he said that officers there had an obligation to in his words refuse to carry out trump orders if the president fired robert muller. the president did not but still what if well that would have been a constitutional crisis i think that britain has crossed that line a number of times and if we remember stories during watergate when nixon was drinking heavily and talking to the portraits that people were told ask me first you think we're that close now could get that close now no because the players have changed. brennan was a unique quantity q

that has turned around on the affordable care act, to references to investigations of security clearances to references to the decisions to tear babies away from their others at the borders. to everything, they are uniformly rejecting subpoenas from congress. this means they have decided to ppose the role of congress representing the american people. they are stonewalling the american people from all information. this cannot be. we cannot have a government where all the information is in the executive branch where the american people vr been stonewalled that they need to make decisions and know what's going on. while this is stonewalling information with respect to the russian attack on our democracy in 2016, with respect to the president's campaign, cooperation with that attack, to the president's obstructions of justice in seeking to stop the investigation of that attack, it goes far broader than that. it is an attack on the ability of the american people to know what the executive branch is doing and to have responsible government. it is an attack on the essence of our democracy and we

can put up on the screen, some of the scope of these investigations, they're things like security clearances, and whether those are being handled properly. these are questions that republicans had when they held the majority. so don't you think there are some investigations here with merit? >> there are some with merit, and if you look at our ranking member -- >> brennan: so you disagree? >> no. if you look at what jim jordan, our ranking member in there, he actually brought in the individual from the white house to talk about it. the problem that i have is something, a situation like chairman nadler is doing. chairman nadler just held the attorney general in contempt because he requested that he break the law, and if you will not vote the law, i'll vote in contempt. >> brennan: in the interest of disclosing grand jury information more publicly? >> exactly. if chairman nadler was that serious about getting to the bottom, he hasn't taken the time to go read, which he's approved to read, the 99.9% of any obstruction inside the mueller report. he hasn't even gone to read it while trying to hold

they are looking into allegations they granted security clearances to some like president trump's son-in-law jared kushner. elijah cummings called the move the latest example of the president's widespreading growing obstruction of congress. white house counsel added fuel to the fire yesterday writing to elijah cummings that his committee appears to be putting public servants at riching as it seeks information on the way in which white house granted security clearances to jared kushner and others. elijah cummings responded saying the american people don't want a king in the white house they want a president who follows the law and recognizes congress legitimate role as a check and balance on the executive branch. >>> still ahead the latest on the violent clashes in venezuela as juan guaido tries to topple nicolas maduro's presidency. we're plus florida lawmakers pass a bill that would allow teachers to arm themselves in the classroom, but will it become a law? >>> those stories and a check on your weather when we come back. ♪ - [woman] with shark's duo clean, i don't just clean, i deep clean

he also put out a whole list of other obama national security officials whose security clearances he might try to yank, right, including the national security advisor at the time of the attack, the deputy attorney general who became the acting attorney general who came to the white house and warned them about their national security advisor being compromised by russia, and puts them all on a list, this enemies list saying they might have their security clearances revoked to, because of, quote, their baseless accusations of improper contact with russia. i don't need to mention there are now 100 pages of a report by none other than robert mueller who say those accusations were far from baseless. all of these people with all of these decades of leadership experience, the people in all the key roles of trying to understand and assess and help the country understand and assess the attack by russia, people trying to understand that attack and thwart it and get to the bottom of it, the people who led that effort are all the ones thus far have paid the price for it, and that includes james b

it is what was called the free clearance requirement. all changes and bodhisattvas and jurisdiction covered by the voting rights act special provision had to be preapproved by one of two factfinders. either three-judge panel in the federal courts here in d.c. or in the department of justice. especially you begin to see some of the things that happened with the passage of voting rights act. i was involved in the charleston county council election. right before the voting rights act, there was an article that interviewed all the council members of charleston, south carolina. he said it is quoted in the paper we really like elections because it gives us contact with the people and we are closer to them. then you have the voting rights act. two years later, charleston goes to at-large elections. blacks begin to register to vote. i looked at the state of south carolina and three force of all counties changed then to at-large elections. is that coincidence? that is what they do in these court cases. it even gets trickier than that in this case

overhead. 10 feet of clearance on the side of the roads. anything that hangs out over the pavement itself will be removed as part of this brand we've been concerned for decades in the fire service about the vegetation encroaching on roadways. it's been a difficult challenge to overcome in the communities they moved here because they love their trees know that the people who live in fairfax the ross kelly. >>it's part of our environment they see it this way. but there's really been a change over generations, those trees are now encroaching on roadways where they work historically we need to cut that back we need to improve the access will be working cooperatively with homeowners as the majority of the work will be on private property in front of people's homes. >>in the public right of way part of the reason there's been so much over growth over the years is because so many homeowners didn't realize they're responsible for maintaining it the work is expected to be finished by the 2020 fire season. maureen kelly kron 4 news. >>let's take a lo

that's part of congress' oversight responsibilities, see if people are getting security clearances theydn't get because they present a national security risk. and if you took his argument and applied it to that, you would say the same thing, he would say you can't have anybody testify from my staff because i don't want you to. that would totally eviscerate article one and duties and constitutional responsibilities of congress. we have to have two co-equal branches, they have to talk to each other, they have to answer questions to each other. i think that it is just a bad argument. i have obviously not had time to see this memo and will be reading it astutely as soon as we're done here so i can comment more in depth on different legal cases, but i would say u.s. v nixon raises the specter that it would not be upheld, this argument would not be upheld by the supreme court. >> for the record, you have been able to give us this informed opinion on the basis of things that you heard in your ear or we read you. >> yes. >> which is how good you are. i know the jill wine-banks at this many year

and basically rather than giving you clearance, will tell you where you can't be so instead of telling the drone where it can go, it will say you can do that, you just can't be here it is the opposite of planes >> these drones will have cameras on them. what about privacy, what are people saying about that >> reporter: it is an issue. the mayor of reno, reno has been very support difference of this, the drones eventually are -- the system is not supposed to allow you to cache, to keep the images, but we asked a couple people what they thought about it, and here's what they said. >> i live downtown at the montage. i can see them flying out like right there when i'm enjoying a glass of wine after work on my deck so that is a little bit weird. but i'm not worried about anything like that >> i mean if it is for the betterment of our community, i'm all for it, but the way things are being taken care of in today's -- i'm a little nervous. >> reporter: i got to tell you, i think that the biggest issue to figure out, battery life. these drones right here can go for about half an hour if they a

for example, security clearances and the question of how the president's son-in-law jared kushner got a top secret security clearance even though white house officials recommended against them but the problem with that investigation is that congress is asking for things that have traditionally been the purview of the executive branch. a lot of this is in the hands of the court. you heard adam schiff in the lead-up that you played talking about contempt and the ability of congress to fine someone $25,000 a day. pete williams and i looked into that on friday. that's a very theoretical concept and never tested. it is true that congress has the power to hold witnesses in contempt on their own but that's not happened since 1935 and no mechanism for a fine on its own, no way to enforce that. generally they have to go through the courts and in the past that's taken years and one case seven years. attorney general eric holder held in con tervtempt. the question really i think is are the federal courts given this extraordinary situation, are they going to speed up, be more willing to referee t
