as f.b.i. director i'm laser focused on ensuring that our folks get to continue that great work and do it with the fidelity, bravery and integrity we've always had. as i've been saying since as far back as my confirmation hear, i'm a huge believer in the importance of process. doing this job by the books in every respect and i expect all our employees to do the same. try to emphasize that at every opportunity. in my view, the f.b.i.'s brand over the past 110 years is based less on all of our many, many successes than it is on the way in which we've earned those successes. following our rules, following the law, following our guidelines, staying faithful to our core values and our best traditions, trying to make sure we're doing the right thing but doing it in the right way, treating everybody with respect, following the facts independently and objectively no matter who likes it. that is the best way that in my view is the only way, to maintain trust and credibility with the people we serve. i a

the f.b.i. but i know about manna for deals that were twelve years old this is how desperate it's become in order to try to get some indictments i think it's pretty pathetic at this point and it's good for us to know the truth ok and that's what we all want on this panel in our viewers we want the truth so let's continue down the path i'm interested in what mr struck will have to say many thanks and i guess in washington and in new york and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at r.t. see you next time and remember stumbles. like the many flips over the gay. yes so i know the game inside guides. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman to just kill you narrowness and spending through the twenty million one player. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy but great so well paul chimes with. and makes this point it's.

f.b.i.'s standards. the report makes clear that we have significant work to do and we are going to learn from the report and be better as a result. at the same time, this report is focused on a specific set of events back in 2016 and a small number of f.b.i. employees connected with those events. mistakes made by those employees do not define our 37,000 men and women and the great work they do every day. nothing in this report impugns the integrity of our workforce as a whole. i want to be very clear with the f.b.i. that i have been able to see up close every day in the 10 months since my confirmation hearing before you all. i have been meeting with employees from over 0 field offices and offices from overseas and headquarters division and over and over again, i hear remarkable stories about the work our men and women are doing to uphold the institution. we have rescued over 1,300 children from child predators. and arrested more than 4,600 violent gang members. in the past several months, we

one of the f.b.i. agents said on election day you should know that i am with her, her was clinton, right? >> correct. >> how do you feel about that? >> very concerned. >> eventually very concerned is enough already. i am glad you found what you found mr. horowitz. i am not buying that the clinton e-mail investigation was on the up and up. >> sean: i don't either. in the center of all of this is trump hating agent peter strzok. he will be subpened to determine why the f.b.i. and doj with held many of the anti- trump tex. he is the lead agent and vowed to stop a trump presidency in a text with lisa page, his girlfriend. and page was a high ranking f.b.i. attorney that was used by an true mccabe. yeah, that andrew mccabe. to bypass the f.b.i. chain of command. we have long reported about mccabe's democratic bias. peter strzok and jenny wray and those names sound familiar? and they all tapped the same people to finish the exxoneration of hillary and tap in for robert mueller for the trump russia witch hunt

. >> f.b.i. agent peter strzok was on capitol hill answering questions for 11 hours the last 90 minutes in the classified section. he was giving a transcribed interview. there are the same penalties if you lie to lawmakers and congressional investigators. republicans remain convinced that bias were in the russia and email investigations. a lawyer advised strzok not to answer questions about an ongoing investigation. >> probably more times that they didn't want to talk about an john going investigation than i would find appropriate. >> it is not acceptable. it is not in statute. certainly not something that the american people would find acceptable and i certainly don't find it acceptable, either. >> throughout the 11-hour deposition yesterday we had the impromptu briefings from republicans and democrats. democrats believe the interviews and the requests for records are really an effort to taint the mueller russia investigations. >> basically what we have here, a republican spending quite a bit of

not the f.b.i. but i know about manna for deals that were twelve years old this is how desperate it's become in order to try to get some indictments i think it's pretty pathetic at this point and it's good for us to know the truth ok that and that's what we all want on this panel and our viewers we want the truth so let's continue down the path i'm interested in what mr struck will have to say many thanks and i guess in washington and in new york and thanks to our viewers for watching us here darkie see you next time and remember topples. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter us is over one trillion dollars and. more than ten point zero or timestamping. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be old for the rich eight point six percent. markets saw a thirty percent rise one is pure film with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit first second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial plant but don't

the f.b.i.'s decisions or actions, the appearance of bias is disconcerting and potentially damaging to the f.b.i.'s ability to perform its mission. law enforcement must not only avoid actual bias, but also the appearance of bias. mr. schumer: thank you, senator feinstein. senator warner. mr. warner: thank you, senator schumer. let me just -- two or three quick points. one, i think this is an example where the system worked. there were concerns raised. the inspector general did a thorough and lengthy review. pointed out mistakes were made. so that the white house and its allies that continue to make attacks against the integrity of virtually everyone who works at the department of justice, and at the f.b.i., i hope would go on to a bit of a pause. here was an example where the system worked and there are two conclusions i draw from the report. one, no political bias. and two, the actions of the then-f.b.i. director more than one time actually benefited mr. trump's campaign and his election chances

fired f.b.i. director james comey is now under investigation for leaking. >> bill: the trump administration refusing to bow to the mounting pressure over the separation of illegal immigrant families. >> president trump: the united states will not be a migrant camp and it will not be a refugee holding facility. if the democrats would sit down instead of obstructing, we could have something done very quickly. >> we're enforcing the laws as they exist on the books. as long as illegal entry remains a criminal offense, dhs will not look the other way. >> we're doing the right thing and taking care of these children. they aren't being abused. >> give us an example? >> comprehensive immigration. it does not include ripping children out of the arms of the parents. give them a bath and take them away in a car. catherine herridge is live outside the hearing room. andrew mccarthy with analysis. we begin in san diego with william la jeunesse. what are republicans saying away from the white house? >> most agre

nothing wrong with the f.b.i. informant.he f.b.i. did exactly what the f.b.i. was supposed to do the american people agree. trey gowdy knows that the american people agree. >> did they have an informant aka spy at the dnc to chase down the russians who were hacking the dnc's e-mails? no. if they're trying to protect us and the candidates in the election from the russians as we pointed out last week, why weren't there informants in hillary clintonst campaign's or bernie sanders' campaign? >> you know him as gregg jarrett. i've got an important question for you. let me start with dan bongino responding to the great one. and trey gowdy why weren't there spies in anyone else's campaign? great question! how is it the interrogatories by great britain. maybe 50/50, used to get fisa warrants on american citizens, one that happened to be in the trumpp campaign? >> there weren't spies in other campaign, sean, because they were spying on trump. they weren't spying on the russians. you know, listen, this is -- i don't know if trey gowdy wofted a little of the swamp air? >>

f.b.i. be investigator peter strzok writing to f.b.i. attorney lisa page, you get all our lures approved? in particular smiley face. that refers to outside of the continental united states. and lures which the f.b.i. redacted refers to f.b.i. recruited spies. our nt guest has experience running double agent operations and joining us is the director of investigations and research for judicial watch chris farrell. great to have you with us. this sort of lays out does it not in succinct form what they were all about. >> it was an intelligence operation directed against then candidate trump and a mrieped all of the trade craft they could and they launched a double agent operation overseas. hence of term oconnuous and the counter intelligence operations, and double agent operation and the lures, plural. that is important. those are the persons that are dangled out in front in the hopes that interested parties will take a bite at them and the f.b.i. would reel them in and run them against the trump campaign. this is deliberate and thought out

as f.b.i. director james comey was always pretty well known but when donald trump fired him last year it boosted his footprint pre-measured a plane this week he's my guest here in berlin where he's promoting a book even as he faces a new challenge it's supporting nation and violating procedures in the run up to the twenty sixteen presidential election so what's the truth. james comey welcome to conference and thank you for having me while you are touring europe something your book there's a stall of criticism in washington over actions that you and the f.b.i. took in the run up to the presidential election in twenty six the most from the inspector general of the justice department who you politely very politely told to get lost you didn't miss anything in the public i think are you white or the way. that i'm a flawed human i hope like we all recognize that we are and i i meant what i said about the inspector general i respect their work i respect their criticism you just don't agree that any we

and then f.b.i.arah carter to come forward and tell on the record the impropriety. i don't think that trey gowdy were right about this. and i have respect for him. but if he were right they would not have protected hillary clinton. if it was neutral sfieing they would have briefed trump. >> sean: their time line is off, greg. they changed the rules in the obama administration and if you remember they shared the intel with agencies 16 or 17 of them and the whom papadopoulos issue is just blown out of the water. >> yeah. the f.b.i. with the help of the new york times perpetuated a myth it was papadopoulos. that is it an outright lie. why did they lie about papadopoulos having e-mails when all he said why all of these suspicious lies if they were not trying to set up trump? >> these are all falling apart. also the north korea summit and great news on the economy. and the deep state crumbling and out rage of the people on the left. stay with us. for twenty years over two million customers have trusted bl

this internal f.b.i. report was completely unknown to us until an investigative reporter from the washington post contacted us about that report in november two thousand and eleven . a series of articles in the washington post revealed that flawed forensic work by f.b.i. experts may have led to the conviction of innocent people and the u.s. department of justice knew about these flood practices for a long time. those reports that were generated from that were now. may be may readily available not not just to the public but just to the tourney's in the news the cases that were involved and if it wasn't for the washington post we were known today. they looked at seventy cases in particular the age of michael malone was involved they were just looking for background because he had been involved in my case and we did know they had the f.b.i. files so you know that was just you know you know. it's a matter. of you want to tell you right here ok and it was. twelve years ago in my case it could fix to. fifty one

and an f.b.i. agent can't go out and open up the source gather information willie- nilly and they have to abide by the guidelines and particularly the counter intelligence investigations and even more particularly when you direct your source toward an american citizen. >> laura: what has to be in place? this is where the importance much john solomon's article comes into play. if the f.b.i. opened a source, or tasked a source to gathser information, particularly from a u.s. person, before opening a formal investigation, then that would be in violation of the guidelines. i am not saying that is what happened here but we don't know all of the facts. >> laura: if you had to guess and you are being diplomatic, what is your gut here? you have seen a lot in your career and history. we are missing documents and keep months of missing here in the document trail here. >> right to get to the source documents is important for congress. they should be asking for the identity of the source. but when did you open

we identified instances where f.b.i. employees improperly receive benefits from reports is including tickets to sporting events sings drinks and meals and admittance to nonpublic social events we will separate you reports and those investigations as the concluded now the report shows pretty extensive contact between the f.b.i. and reporters and furthermore it shows that agents were incentivized to provide inside information. we have profound concerns about the volume and extent of on all three media contacts by f.b.i. press no the we have uncovered during our. seven reporters in direct contact with the f.b.i. over one hundred phone calls and you've got officials as high up as the assistant director taking time to hobnob with reporters if you read this report you would think that at this point leaking classified information is just not a big deal to the highest law enforcement agency in the land but the f.b.i. had no problem busting james wolf for doing it himself james wall former congressional aide was a rested for alle

what about when f.b.i. agents themselves are the ones providing a steady trickle of information to the press they say it's not a big deal it's just simply a matter of a few bad apples. the report makes clear that we have got some work to do but let's also be clear in the scope of this report it's focused on a specific set of events back in twenty sixteen and a small number of f.b.i. employees connected with those events so what now well i guess another investigation and the possibility of punitive measures it would be shocking to me if the f.b.i. did not act on the inspector general's report and fire some of those officials who are singled out so many not just mistakes from top to bottom but corruption and if there aren't firings the public and it's cynicism towards government and towards business as usual in washington. once again we see confirmation of the kind of collusion this really is collusion between the f.b.i. and the mainstream journalistic class journalists simply act as megaphones for different

we identified instances where f.b.i. employees improperly receive benefits from reports is including tickets to sporting events golf now things drinks and meals and admittance to nonpublic social events we will separate you reports from those investigations as they are concluded now the report shows pretty extensive contact between the f.b.i. and reporters and furthermore it shows that agents were incentivized to provide inside information. we have profound concerns about the volume and extent of on all three media contacts by f.b.i. personnel the we have uncovered during our review seven reporters in direct contact with the f.b.i. over one hundred phone calls you've got officials as high up as the assistant director taking time to hobnob with reporters if you read this report you would think that at this point leaking classified information is just not a big deal to the highest law enforcement agency in the land but the f.b.i. had no problem busting james wolf for doing it himself james wall former congressional aide wa

and f.b.i.fficials confirming they did not give anyone from the legal team access to the same classified information on the russia probe briefed to the congressional leader last month. democrats stating in a letter that the president's attorneys and the congressional republicans will ultimately attempt to use the information against the agency. adding, "we respectfully request that the department of justice confirm going forward d.o.j. and the f.b.i. will not brief additional members of congress who are not part of the gang of eight on the matters." we should note that the house oversight chairman trey gowdy was the only lawmaker present at the briefings not part of the bipartisan gang of eight. so mr. speaker, this is part of this backdrop of the russia investigation. the kerfuffle or who went to what briefing. i think the white house landed in a good place to brief the gang of eight. but then the white house had an attorney for part of the meeting. they got criticism for that. was the criticis

the new f.b.i.ey. >> lou: did you hear that smug self rightous. >> how do you investigate hillary who violated the law and took government documents. and they are all doing the same thing. >> lou: they are contacting government business doing what she did without regard for what was cssified a confidential or top secret information. and commie did the same thing. >> including grand jury tell, all of which are against the law. >> lou: and the grand jury in >> and the documents. >> lou: none. witnesses in the clinton e-mail investigation or as they use the quaint term "the midterm investigation" rather than the clinton e-mail scandal. they didn't take any word of it >> the bottom line they have one appointed by obama. over charging somewhere and spending too much for lunch or living up to the budget. it is not meant to investigate something like this. and they put aside the hillary thing that is the important thing. and the evidence that came out of this, they thought hillary was going to win early on

late this afternoon the current f.b.i. director christopher wray reacted to the inspector general's report. >> the report does identify errors of judgment, violations of or even disregard for policy, and decisions that at the very least-- with the benefit of hindsight-- were not the best choices. >> reporter: comey tweeted today that he believes the report was reasonable, even if he didn't agree all of its conclusion. now former secretary of state hillary clinton also weighed in on the report. the report found that comey sometimes used personal email to conduct official f.b.i. business. in response to that clinton sarcastically tweeted, "but my emails." jeff. >> glor: we are joined now by "face the nation" moderator nation" moderator margaret brennan. itrgaret, there is a lot here. eiat's the political fallout? an reporter: well, neither republicans nor democrats can claim total vindication, because the current f.b.i. director chris wray said there is no evidence of political bias that biuld have hindered the investigation

the f.b.i.fficially opened the russia collusion investigation. a house intelligence committee source told fox news no physical records have been provide and briefing the congressional leadership known as "the gang of quit -- does not satisfy the subpoena. and they said the larger issue is the alleged abuse in the campaign by the f.b.i. and the justice departments. >> when do the investigations start? what did you do with president trump's campaign? why can't you answer that question? what money did you spend on it? why didn't you advise the president when running you had concerns or not or was it derived by another reason? in my belief this is a fundamental question. >> facebook agent peter strozk who gives a closed door deposition on capitol hill shifted from the clinton e-mail to the russian investigation. he wrote e.c. that opened the probe. the republican chairman of the house judiciary committee who has direct oversight for the f.b.i. spoke to fox about investigating the f.b.i. investigator

>> yeah, the f.b.i. with the help of new york times perpetiated a myth that was papadopoulos. >> and why. >> why did they lie about papadopoulos having e-mails when all he said he had heard they had dirt on him. why the suspicious lies. >> and great news on the economy and deep state crumbling and all of the people on the left, samantha bee about ivanka trump and we have breaks out, i will braining in. i upon trace gallinger. back to sean hannity. >> sean: samantha bee launched a vile disgusting attack against ivanka trump. watch this. >> ivanka trump who workings at the white house posted the second most oblivous tweet. that is a beauty photo of you and your child. let me say one mother to another, do something about your dad's immigration practice you feckless [bleep]. he listens to you. put something on something tight and low caught and tell your [bleep] and tell him it was an obama thing. see how it goes. >> sean: samantha bee aologyized but she is facing it is back lash and they feel there is a dou

fox news is learning demoted f.b.i.agent peter strozk may have had a larger role in the clinton and russia investigation than previously known. this is as republicans press top f.b.i. officials for more information about the probe. let's bring in ari fleischer, the former press secretary for george w. bush and fox news contributor. peter strozk was dumped from theller investigation team when it turned out he had a romantic relationship with another person who worked at the f.b.i. e didn't play a hugestion role in either investigation. now we're finding out he was fairly central to the e-mail prnd russia investigation. ari? >> that is one of the reasons i think that bob mueller got of him. he gotend put down under the personnel desk at the f.b.i. we need to figure this out. that is my bottom line. it's so hard to know all the facts of this, particularly through the congressional investigation. the inspector general at the f.b.i. is the one we are waiting f he will have the full report of what went right and wrong in the

that's the f.b.i. and justice department we know, and these guidelines should help us get them back in the mix in the future. >> woodruff: quickly, how much damage dite? >> i think significant damage, but i think it can be eare paired. i implore my fellow republicans to have faith in our lat enforcemencies. everyone out there, there are bad apples to be sure, but by in large f.b.i. is an agency of great integrity and it deserves our rpghtd. >> woodruff: thomas dupree, john carlin, we thank you both. >> woodruff: and now, we continue our series on "the end of aids." tonight, we turn back tohe u.s. and to the epidemic that continues in the south. the ste of florida accounts for 10% of all h.i.v. cases in america, and it is home to four of the top ten cities in the u.s. for new h.i.v. diagnoses. while the state has begun an ambitious plan to tackle the crisis, it has also cut health spending for years andhose not to expand medicaid. william brangham and producer jason kane report from miami, where the pro
