there is no practical way to adequately secure and protect the j edgar hoover building. the real risk is inadequate physical security and that the fa operations are more vulnerable and can easily be disrupted potentially any time when these capabilities would be most needed. and we are changing the direction here. it is very difficult to understand that. the chairman and ranking member asked for detailed information about the plans. we got this glitzy 22 page, more photographs and details, about the proposal. and me take a look at the cost comparisons, many of the costs are not even included in this! for a 20 percent smaller building, we do not include the swing rental issues of building out the new rental spaces. so, mr. chairman, is difficult for us to understand this. may your browser says she believes the best use of the space where the people of the district of columbia is for this to be in private development hands. so we not even paying attention to the local community. so, there's a lot of questions here. i appreciate our witnesses being here. it's i just would m

this has been set up since the day of edgar hoover who was abusing federal authority.hat process is absolutely critical. i'm all for taking hard look at whether that process was abused. i personally was fine with the investigation. now folks shifted because of this scope issue. because of folks no longer with the d.o.j., no longer with the fbi and maybe with other agencies. i think we definitely have to take a hard look at it. >> i think you can take a hard look at it and inspector general are doing that. so far there has been no evidence that we have seen publicly. there's been accusations there hasn't been hard evidence that the fisa court behaved inappropriately. there's been lot of accusations. these fisa court officials are bipartisan. i think almost all of them were appointed by republicans. they run this process a very stringent way. if there comes out there was something done wrong, let's look that wrong. there's doubt in part for political reasons. it's do undermine the russia investigation. but the inspector general can do this. >> it was manipulation of the

edgar hoover did decades ago. that's his takeaway. you can see how it formals his whole attitude to the u.s. intelligence community, to comey whom he later fires which leads to the appointment of special counsel mueller. more importantly, it shows he's not concerned with the big picture. what happened in 2016 and how to stop it again, it's all about they're out to get me. >> what do you think is the most interesting nugget from this book that people haven't focused on enough in all of the coverage surrounding donald trump and russia since the 2016 election? >> i talked before about how so much dates back to the miss universe pageant. we talk about these two characters, aguilera, the pop singer u and his publicly cyst. and they keep popping up. they were there in las vegas when the whole miss universe pageant is hatched. they're there with trump in moscow. they were the guys that set up the notorious trump tower meeting during the trump campaign. it's gold stone's e-mail to donald trump jr. telling him i've just heard from my buddy emm

think about this, if you are the director of the fbi, at the time of j edgar hoover, and he spent most of the war fighting nazi them, andesting conducting successful operations against nazi espionage inside the united states. how would you react if we said we would bring 1600 -- 1500 exnazis and let them work on military bases. it was opposed initially. as did the it took president truman's executive order authorizing paperclip to allow the bureaucracy to support this effort. even within the state and justice department, there were voices opposed to paperclip. of thoseets into many who opposed this operation for moral reasons, but also because of the danger it posed to the united states to have these acts my combatants running around. paperclipeper clip -- had 700, 800 scientists and their dependents. in operation until 1973, we were still bringing over german scientists and their dependents. they initially went to places ,ike new mexico, texas patterson air force base in ohio had a huge number of them, virginia, boston, long island. werewhere were there existing military bases or secr

edgar hoover calling al capone to congratulate him on bank robbery. neil: what?y a maybe on the president's call to president putin. not one had a problem with the obama administration made a similar call. and leon panetta kind of took note of that, take a look. >> presidents talk to kings and emporers and tyrants regardless of whether or not they were elected with any kind of democratic process or not. s see-- so, i think the president has a right to talk to putin. i would have liked the president in addition to talking about areas where we could work together that there are lines we're not going to let the russians cross. neil: there's only so much time on a congratulatory phone call. if you use that definition of people you found abhorrent or the way they came to power abhorrent. john f. kennedy could have never talked to khrunichev, nixon to setung. he heaped a lot of praise on president xi of china and took to task for not hitting china on trade. well, look what happened last week. the key continuing is what does he do? calling up a guy not calling up a guy

edgar hoover calling al capone to congratulate him on a bank robbery. think our allies start to think, is this president really going to have the kind of relationship with vladimir putin that could undermine us, so there are international consequences here and then domestically as you see the entire senate across both parties condemning this, it's a bad morning in america. >> so would you have rather seen no phone call at all or just a stronger phone call to putin? >> i think in the immediate aftermath of the election, no phone call and then a week from now, give that some space, sort of accept the fact that he is the president of russia, then call him and read him the riot act about the poisoning. that's a big deal. chemical weapons against a nato ally, that crosses every red line you want to think about. >> and we know because it's splashed on the front page of the woug post that his national security team did tell him to confront him about the poisoning. you know a lot of the players involved here. what does it say to you that within a couple of hour
