edgar hoover liked to impact elections but he did it in private where this is public.u're saying this is political motivation here by comey, some would say he was damned if he did, damned if he didn't because he had come out in this july press conference and said all these things so he would be seen arguably as withholding information if he didn't come out with this. >> i'm not saying that there was political motivation. it may have been just covering his ass, however that phrase goes. in any case, he ought to have a very good explanation of why he did this in the last ten days. i made the assumption and i said it on the air that he wouldn't have done this unless there was some serious information that deserved further investigation, but even then you have to wonder why would he make that disclosure to the congress of the united states. write a memo to himself and put it in the drawer. there are justice department protocols about this kind of thing. you don't get involved in the last 60 days of an election if there is such information, unless it's of the most extraordi

edgar hoover headquarters in washington and outside the building retired fbi agents are screaming and yelling in outrage that james comey said at the news conference in july that hillary clinton had mishandled classified information, and after that said, but i'm not going to press charges because i don't think any prosecutor would move forward. that left every agent baffled. he has been under great pressure since july to do something and maybe reverse it. maybe that's what motivated him. i don't know factually tonight. it's perilous for him if he's doing this largely because he's trying to make up for what he failed to do before. you heard donald trump say he wants justice whether it was done in july or now, let's get the facts, finally get them. lou: peter schweizer points out as well, though, without staring at whatever evidence he's in possession of, he would be in contempt of congress at the very least were he not come forward. there is a personal motivation on the part of the director, and he alludes to it in his letter to the congressman earlier and senators. ed henry, a terrifi

edgar hoover me. john you see the truth in my eyes i want to help me people until they die. the way you see the debate, hillary was cool. she says she's going to be the first and next to lead the west ? he say he going to build the wall have mexico pay for it all ? and there's a ride every week the uniform blue and the people in the streets ? yeah, living on the edge you could be the next one walking with the dead ? yeah. if i wa i'd get elected on friday ? assassinated on saturday and buried on sunday ? then go back to work on monday if i was president it's just an ordinary day ? but i could be the president could be the president ? yeah, yeah, i could be the president ? her t-shirt says black lives matter ? the media screaming all lives matter ? johnny got a gun up in his hand walking into the school and you hear the bang-bang ? suzanna from ambamma can't walk the walk because she lost two legs in the war ? bang if you looking for some peace all you have to do is call up ? they don't want to talk about the secrecy ? they don't want to talk about the conspiracy ? eh, ehupon

we had a major reform when jay edgar hoover was forced out of the fbi and the church committee reined in the cia and the shadow government. they made the point that these operations are not above board and part of what the government should be doing. hoover ran the government by blackmail. he had a file on everybody and got johnson to keep him on the job because he shared all the files with johnson. the tech -- technique johnson used was getting ahold of hoover and finding this guy was gay or had a criminal conviction in the past and he would say it will be a shame for this to come out and don't you want to pas the civil rights bill? i believe if hillary is elected president this will ride again. i believe the woman who kept the file on all the republican opponents, who hired private detectives to investigate the woman her husband was accused of being involved with not for a divorce but to threaten them with stuff in their background to shut them up, i do not think that woman should control the fbi, cia, nsa, irs, and epa and everything else.

have any -- i don't have much faith in the fbi director based on things done in the past by jay edgar hoover. i'm not making any assumptions that what he said has any validity whatsoever or that it is significant. i just don't -- i'm not going to make that assumption. i think that he should have said more, we're all jumping to conclusions. i'm saying it is what it is. he found all we can go with >> one thing is interesting, hillary clinton held a press conference and the quote things like this is true that most people can agree to, she said i think people a long time ago made up their minds about the e-mails. we'll leave it at that. debbie thank you for joining us today. here's a question. are early voters having voter remorse? many people we talked to say their votes can't be swayed no matter what happened. take a listen. one bit. >> at this point in time i have my decision made >> i'm tired of the e-mails. i think we just have to vote predictions. >> well, in several states, including new york, pennsylvania, louisiana, minnesota and wisconsin, absentee can change their votes prior to elect

we have a major reform in america that really protected our democracy in the mid- 1970s when j edgar hoover was forced out of the fbi. and they rained in the cia and the shadow government. they made the point that these operations are not above board hoover ran the government by blackmail he have a file on everybody. and everybody knew he have a file on everybody. he got johnson to keep him on the job because he shared all of the files with him. the techniques used were very different. he would just get a hold of hoover and find out that this guy was gay or that he had beaten his wife or that this guy have a criminal conviction in the past. it would be a shame for this to come out. do you want to pass the civil rights bill. it was very bad. i believe if hillary is elected president this will right against the woman who kept the file on all of them who hired private detectives to investigate the women her husband was accused of being involved with not for divorce and not to get them to stop them but to threaten them with stuff in the background to shut them up so he could get elected preside

one was roy cohn, one was j edgar hoover, and another was jimmy hoffa. the one who he hated more than any of them was lyndon johnson. and from the moment that they met, when bobby was a young staffer with senator joe mccarthy, there was this antagonism there. it was difficult to understand at that early phase. what i think it was is that bobby represented to lyndon johnson all of the things that came from the eastern establishment, especially the kennedys who came with extraordinary resources and never had to really work a day. that was everything that lbj hated. on the other hand, bobby hated that lbj would lie blatantly like he did in that phone conversation. the extraordinary thing about their antagonism is that had they ever been allies, we would've gotten a strong civil rights bill even earlier and they did end up being collaborators on it. and they both desperately believed that we had to do something more aggressive to attack poverty. most importantly, rather than lbj reacting to bobby's antiwar sentiments by fighting even harder in vietnam, they

not in fact violated any american law by going to fight for spain, but this was a period when j edgar hoover was head of the fbi, riding high as he continued to do so for three decades afterwards and harassed these folks mercilessly sending fbi agents to question them, for years, decades, sending fbi agents to question their employers, are you employing a man who once fought in the communist army and so on and under those circumstances it is often hard for people to get or retain jobs so they were treated very badly. of the american veterans who survived the war, of those 2800 americans who went to spain more than 750 were killed, a far higher death rate than the military suffered in either of the world wars. nonetheless when the us entered world war ii, more than 400 american veterans of spain joined the us military. how they got treated their varied, in some cases if commanding officers were very suspicious of them they might have had association with communism and so on. and other cases the commanding officer was smart enough to know there was someone who had what very few americans had w

edgar hoover has an fbi director positioned himself as a player in the political realm. the power to use the state to put someone in jail is an awesome authority. it should not be used against political opponents. it poisons the public arena. it makes politics a life and death affair, and it reminds one of third world banana republics, not an advanced democracy. for more, go to cnn.com/fareed, and let's get started. >>> so just how has the u.s. election looked around the world? what does the rest of the world want out of this election? what to make of russia's alleged interference? i have a great panel of former top diplomats, now free to speak their minds. in new york, david miliband, who was britain's foreign secretary. he now runs the international rescue committee. in london, bernard kushner, he was france's foreign minister, also founder of doctors beyond borders. in warsaw, radek sikorski was poland's foreign minister. he's now at the center for strategic and international studies, and the country's foreign secretary and now dean of the school at the national unive

in the mid-19 70s when j edgar hoover was forced out of the fbi and the church committee reined in the cia and this sort of shadow government. they made the point that these operations are not aboveboard and there are not of what the government should normally be doing. and hoover ran the government by blackmail. he had a file on everybody. everybody knew he had a file on everybody and he got johnson to keep him on the job because he shared all of the files with him. whenever johnson, we talked we talked about how great he was forgetting civil rights past but the techniques were very different. he would just get a hold of hoover and find out this guy was gay, whether, whether this guy had beaten his wife or this guy had a criminal conviction in the past. he would just float the information to him and say would be a shame for this to come out, don't you want to pass the silver rights bill and it was put to good use but it was very bad. i believe is hillary is elected president this will write again. i believe that the woman who kept a file on all of the republican opponents, who hired p

the premise of your column is you say in this incidence, comey went farther than jay edgar hooverer.irector of fbi, founding director. he undermined democracy in many ways. he tried to undermine the civil rights -- >> the tapes and committing suicide. >> one thing that even he would never do was put his finger on the scale of an election. this has never happened before in the history of our democracy. no justice official has ever done anything like this. can you see today this is no longer a partisan question when you have 100 former justice department criticizing him, former attorney general criticizing him saying this is the equivalent of kind of a reality tv of federal criminal investigation. and you have the former ethics lawyer, chief ethics lawyer of the white house saying he has, in fact, violated the hatch act. this is a very bad day for american democracy. >> that's how you see it. you see it differently. tell me how you see it. >> i don't think it's fair to compare him to hoover. everyone prior to this letter thought that james comey was a great guy. >> i never thought jame

edgar hoover or any other former fbi director would have written. it is embarrassment child upon embarrassment. it has a quality to it that is so sad to hear and fbi director talk this way. it is evident to me that what mr. commissioner that at the beginning of this investigation was impanel a grand jury. he did not do that. when you want to investigate crimes involving national security information, classified information, you don't do images. issue subpoenas for witnesses, third parties for documents. you make people come into court and fight them in front of a federal judge and you worry about attorney-client privilege, and to work that out. director comey didn't do that. why did he not do that? because he didn't want to investigate it. he wanted to conclude this investigation before the election. the only thing he could do to conclude it was defined that she did not commit a crime, mrs. clinton. that conclusion again by anyone who has looked at this evidence is absolutely ludicrous. there were multiple crimes committed by her, so the crimes comm
