department of justice office of the inspector general and that is. a position in which i investigate f.b.i. agents the agents u.s. attorneys and others. it's difficult to to handle both jobs well and i've been pretty successful of both areas. i believe that it's imperative for me to continue in my career in the federal government because. as a role model in both areas of life so people when they come to our church and they found out that number one i am bi vocational that that's impressive because they can hold it all together and secondly because i am a man. and i treat everyone fairly that. i believe that is our. responsibility. as a god of 2nd chances. i am so pleased that we have so many people. that have been rehabilitated people been formally incarcerated former drug addicts former prostitutes gay members and we accept everyone as they are and we let them know that hey they may have made mistakes in the past but they are god is a forgiving and a merciful god we're here to tell. what happens with so many people the wind up being homeless is that

of them are allowed to serve as an officer of the council who can chair the meetings. currently, all of the officers who are responsible for chairing the reentry meetings are criminal justice department heads and members of the mayor's office. so this would allow one of the formerly incarcerated members to chair the meeting. jose bernal, a formerly incarcerated member, and the other six members, proposed that one of the members be allowed to chair the meetings, and it was supported by the other members. the council decided since they were seeking an amendment to the officer clause, that they should also focus on cleaning up the other language in the ordinance. this is in line with supervisor fewer's resolution to adopt person-first language, which was adopted unanimously by the board of supervisors this year. so if it's okay with you, chair ronen, i'm going to turn it over to joffrey, who can speak a little more about this ordinance and can answer your questions. so thank you for your time, and we hope to have your support. >> chair ronen: thank you so much. >> hello, supervisors. i also wanted to give you one more clause that was added is, like, a conflict of interest clause. so one

established protocols of how the fbi's supposed to interview someone on the white house staff, they are supposed to go through the justice department and the white house counsel's officethey obviously purposely did not do that and that they were clearly trying to make a case on this. for years, a number of us have been arguing that it looked like a perjury trap. that was common sense for for a long time. >> martha: i just want to remind everyone something that james comey said when he was asked about this interview at the white house. let's play this. >> you look at this white house now and you it's hard to imagine two fbi agents hanging out in this room. how does that happen? >> mice sent them something i probably wouldn't have gotten away with in a more organized investigation. the fbi wanted to send agents into the white house itself to interview a senior official. you would work through the white house counsel and there were discussions and approvals and it would be there and i thought, it's early enough. let's ascend a couple guys over. >> martha: yeah, let's just send a couple guys over. it was a big laugh in the room after that. >> one other thing people should

people of the justice department who reviewed the whistle-blower complaint did not think that it deserved to be notified congress. they didn't believe that the inspector general that the officer, the director of national intelligence needed to tell the intelligence committees about this whistle-blower complaint. instead, the intelligence community inspector general, he decided that he did. and so that's one of the reasons why certainly the president, people around him were very, very unhappy with mr. atkinson and believe that essentially he had started a controversy that they believe should never have gotten there, don. so you can see why atkinson's days frankly were numbered from the time this inspector general decided that he needed to tell congress about this whistle-blower complaint. you can see that the president is saying in his letter to the intelligence committees tonight that he has lost confidence in this inspector general. and of course, don, the president, he has this power. he can tell the lawmakers that he has a right to get rid of these people because they serve at his discretion. so that is what he has done tonight. >> john, let me bring you in here. so this i
