joining us now is a man who served as a former fbi assistant director, denny colson. many things unfolding. we can look at them discreetly as individual dynamics but it looks like there is rot at the core of this, what is your take? >> the rock is at the top, it started with comey, he didn't follow the rules and violated the constitution of my view. if there is no rules at the top, why would agents at the bottom in the middle follow rules? i don't necessarily agree with you that it's endemic in the fbi, i worked at the fbi a lot in my business and there is still the same guys and women that we were but there's instances going on right now that we need to address. the real problem for me is lack of courage at the fbi to investigate things they should be addressing and addressing problems. >> we can agree to disagree and you have had more experience in the agency but when we think of something like the larry nassar case. for the head of the indianapolis office and another agent we don't know to look away at serial child abuse for at least a year, at least 70 more girls

he's a -- i i love colson whitehead because he tells, he loves words and he knows how to tell complex and jarring story and really just different ways. i'm going to put his lasting but -- the author of the windup bird chronicle 30 does is pentasa go magical storytelling that also grounded in the deepest and most thoughtful questions of history. that's like a range of the readers, the writers i love to read. right now i'm reading black sun by rebecca and i'm reading the coldest winter by david. that gives you a few of the readers come to other writers i like. but i love writers who like people, like to tell stories about them, tell stories to them, and you respect the people who are reading their work. the most annoying writers today are the ones who are so arrogant that they write the story purely for themselves. as a writer you need to love what you do but if you are writing to alienate your audience because they are just not smart enough or clever enough to be a reader of your work, then mauls tough, all find somebody else to read. >> thank you so much for spending this hour with us
