j edgar hoover responded and said the fact that you have indicated in your previous note that two chapters of sts exist in the state, means you need to develop a plan to neutralize them. i look forward to neutralizing -- i look forward to hearing your plans. part of the story in oklahoma and a national context, three thatembers were there and merited an fbi counterintelligence plan to try to neutralize it? or that the fbi felt the need to invest in finding informants, which they did at the university of oklahoma to try to get rid of sds, and it is kind of mind-boggling that they would be that level of national insistence by j edgar hoover that sds had to cease to exist. that it was a matter of national security that you completely obliterate this organization. organization, except the black panthers, gets more attention than the sds. so it is quite staggering in terms of surveillance culture. on,e all of that is going it still was not enough to satisfy the governor of the state. , in march oft 1968, following a student protest against the general of selective service, a small demonstration

of mind boggling at a certain level, that there would be that level of national insistence by j edgar hoover that it had to cease to exist, that it was a matter of national security that you completely obliterate this organization. no organization, say maybe the black panthers in the 1960s gets more attention from the fbi then students for democratic, it's quite staggering what happens in terms of the surveillance culture and while all of that is going on is still wasn't enough to satisfy the governor of the state, so governor dewey bartlett in march, 1968, following a student protest against general luis b hershey the director of social service, the small demonstration in oklahoma city and that convinces governor bartlett to create a secret agency to spy on suspected radicals in the state and these are students that are arrested and quickly released, zero violence takes place and when governor bartlett creates the office of interagency corporation he doesn't stop-- doesn't help a legislature or asked for their approval so they housed in the department of military and diverted national guard

edgar hoover did less damage to the fbi than james comey is doing right now.ll of the appearance of exactly that. the comey memos, congress again, the three chairman, nunes, goodlatte and gowdy, giving rod rosenstein, the deputy attorney general another day or two, midweek, whatever that means, to deliver the comey memos to congress. and again, stone walling with a smirk on his face rod rosenstein. the only question is where is the attorney general jeff sessions, why isn't he making these decisions, why isn't he talking about those memos. and it's his responsibility to submit to the oversight of congress constitutionally. what in the world is going on? >> not only that, lou, also the director of the fbi. director wray is missing in action. so i'm not going to sit here and make excuses for the ag. but what about director wray. this is his agency. he's the new director. he could release those instantly. and my friends inside the agency tell me he is hiding in his office, lou. lou: so it raidses the question. why doesn't the president order his attorney general t

edgar hoover? >> congressman, this is an important question because i think people often ask what the difference is between surveillance and what we do. the difference is extremely clear, which is that on facebook you have control over your information. the content that you share you put there. you can take it down at any time. the information that we collect you can choose to have us not collect, you can delete any of it and of course you can leave facebook if you want. i know of no surveillance organization that gives people the option to delete the data that they have or even know what they're collecting. >> mr. zuckerberg, you should be commended that facebook has grown so big so fast. it is no longer the company that you started in your dorm room. instead, it is one of the great american success stories. that much influence comes with enormous social responsibility of which you have failed to act and to consider. shouldn't facebook protect user's information? why is the onus on the user to opt

that there would be this level of national insistence by j edgar hoover that sps had to cease to exist, that it was a matter of national security that you completely obliterate this organization and organization save maybe the black panthers gets more attention from the fbi and students for a democratic society so it's really quite staggering whathappens in terms of the surveillance culture . and while all of that is going on, it still wasn't enough to satisfy the governor of the state so governor dewey bartlett in march 1968 following a student protest against general lewis hirschi who is the director of selective service, there's a demonstration in oklahoma city and that convinces governor bartlett to create a secret agency to spy on suspected radicals in the state. these are students that are arrested and quickly released , zero violence takes place and when governor bartlett creates the office of interagency formation, they held in the department of military and i funding to pay for this secret agency and over the next two years math files on over 6000 suspected radicals thestate o

. >> he cut his teeth in the era of prohibition, and he was ap or -- a peer of j edgar hoover. in fact, he ran the bureau of narcotics for almost the same amount of time as j edgar hoover ran the fbi. and he was a teetotaler. he was in about our mission is to develop cannabis to be the product that he could sell -- you could say, to the american public is something that is a problem. you see him writing in newspapers and academic journals, testifying before congress about all the terrible things that cannabis does, and this should seem familiar to any cannabis users because you experienced the same problems. you've committed rapes and murders, you have gone psychotic. for the white women in the audience, you have done the terrible thing of having sex with a man of color, if you used cannabis. these are things this man literally said to congress, in newspapers. it scared white america and people about what it meant to the fabric of society. he was a master manipulator who turned this nation against a drug that had been part of society since before the founding. >> thank you. nei

and finally, jim, you've done more damage to the fbi as an institution than jay edgar hoover becauseour mission was to change the course of american presidential history. the only difference between you hoover is that he wore dresses and even if you wanted to, you probably couldn't get one to fit you at 6'8". and that's my open. tell me what you think on my facebook, twitter and instagram hashtag judge jeanine. according to to his own words comey says on several occasions that they were not investigating the president. here with reaction to my opening state -- opening statement and all other developing stories, white house press secretary is joining me now. good evening. how are you? >>i'm great. >> long awaited memos come out. the democrats say that it proves that donald trump was colluding with the russians. and yet the president in james comey's words and his own memo is saying i want you to look into this collusion thing, i want you to look into leaking. i want you to look into this dossier. he says it repeatedly. what's going on with this guy? >> james comey is a disgrace, disgr

edgar hoover, by the office of war investigation. they're looking to see if they can be charged with treason. also we're going to see a stifling of free speech. a stifling of dissent during the war years. and the other thing that black newspapers all across the nation are going to do is they're going to highlight -- they're going to turn local stories about segregation and inequality, they're going to turn those local stories into national stories. right? into national stories. 1942, an african-american soldier is wounded. he loses his leg in a major battle in europe. and he gets on a boat home and gets off this boat in los angeles. he's supposed to be picked up by his wife and his in-laws. he is not picked up by his wife and in-laws because they're in jail. the reason that they are in jail is because his wife tried to buy a home in a white neighborhood. the white neighborhood had a restrictive covenant. and so the neighborhood took the wife to court. said, look, we don't want you in our neighborhood. she said, i don't understand. wh

. >> back to j edgar hoover, that features in mr. comey's book, we should engage on this point about bullying, this is in the style of russo's confession that i always hated boules, i let myself down the most when i was in college and was part of a scene where we were basically ridiculing and harassing a kid on the floor. he raises that himself, to say this is something i hate and ashamed about, you don't present that is a revelation that you are puncturing his hypocrisy. he did raise that himself that all of us can be thrown into bullying and what we need to counter his political systems or bureaucracy that are based on a bullying principle. he does advance that point and strikes me as someone who is an anti-bully. he is impressed by his own moral stature. and invested in his morality, not the worst thing you can say about somebody. i prefer sanctimonious in this to criminality or viciousness or cruelty or betrayal of your wife, it is worse than sanctimony. >> i'm a product of the department of justice and when i hear comey say lore

hoover days. --we can get back to j edgar j edgar hoover. maybe we should engage in the point about bullying, you are right that he identified in this story, which comey tells where he dishes in the style of rousseau's concessions. he says i always hated bullies, and i let myself down the most when i was in college and i was part of a scene where we were basically ridiculing and harassing a kid on our floor. the kid in the dorm. he raises that himself to say this is something that i hate and i am ashamed about the i was ever a part of it. i assume he the present that as -- i assume you don't present that as a revelation that somehow you are puncturing his hypocrisy. he raised that himself that he said all of us can be drawn into bullying and what we need to counter is the political systems -- it bureaucracies that bureaucracies and presidencies that are based on a bullying principle. he strikes me as an anti-bully. he is a bit impressed by his own moral stature. >> more than that, not a bit. >> as much as you like. he is very invested in his

manhunt first had to find out who he was because he used so many pseudonyms and was very clever so j edgar hoover the fbi would go down in infamy if they did not find the killer so strangely at the time the fbi did a great job to talk him down because they knew they had to do it. >> i love how you describe the early csi of fingerprints or the prison to find out james earl raise name. >> so much of that was legwork before the computer age the agents just took to the field and said he must have come to birmingham go to the gunshots@the customers canvassed the entire neighborhood we don't know where he stayed we will go to every boardinghouse every motel people will remember him so they did a lot of leg work in chicago missouri california mexico the cia did an excellent job to track james earl ray. >> he had so many chances to banish after he left atlanta and canada and england you feel like the world was conspiring against him he. >> he did not have money or a plan which all evidence shows it was not a well-planned conspiracy he starts doing research on getting a passport he starts calling them to
