director wray: it's absolutely the f.b.i.'s view, the f.b.i.'s choice, the f.b.i.'s preference to build a new building, a bigger building, not a smaller building, at our current location, which would allow us to, as i said, improve security, build a state-of-the-art facility, add the number of people in terms of consolidating our footprint, and be more accessible or remain accessible to all of our partners and to the public. mr. crist: was it contemplated that the campus location is something that had been embraced by your predecessors or is that not the case? director wray: i can't speak for my predecessors. i know when i came in and i asked the question, tell me why we are not building a building here in this location. it appeared to me that people had thought that that was not and option available to us. if given the choice, i'm not sure the predecessors would have made the same choice i'm making. mrs. roby: thank you for being here. and echo the sentiments of the expanding footprint that f.b.i. has in alabama and we are grateful for those efforts and want to con

wow, f.b.i. made 11 payments to fake dossier discredited author, christopher steele, total fraud on the president and the american people. it was brought to you by dirty cops, crooked hillary and the d.n.c. then this, new information on the eight criminal referrals sent to d.o.j. by republican devin nunes. congressman nunes probing the originin of the russia investigation. his referrals could implicate two dozen people, including current and former government officials. jerry, do you think anybody will get swept up into this in terms of accountability? >> gerard: i am sure there will be an investigation of the investigation, as it were and further down the an investigation of the investigation of the investigation, this is like a continuous process. you can go on forever. there are serious questions about how this investigation came about, no question that there were people politically motivated people, including republican. if you remember, the original steele work began during the republican pr

guy in hillary clinton's nightmares the f.b.i. found almost fifteen thousand and released e-mails into a year long investigation of her private server the head of the f.b.i. called you out for careless handling of classified documents said she believed the seaver confidential and some documents actually stood for the order of paragraphs some three years on when everyone thought it was all over and gone new f.b.i. documents reveal more juicy details like what happened to our half of the e-mails that were raised clean by the clinton team we're not talking just a few dozen or hundred or even a thousand e-mails here we're talking some thirty thousand all private according to clinton she did provide a detailed and meticulous explanation of how she picked which e-mails to delete how and who exactly wiped her server that potentially stored top state secrets except clinton did none of that instead she felt like joking about it. to do what the service well like with a cloth or something that i know you do but i don't know how it works digi

and there were police course all over the bush f.b.i. a sheriff's office. they the f.b.i. said they had forty five people go through their apartment oh my dad team. and an f.b.i. vehicle followed up. to my dad would point out how i just knew that i had to lead them to chill and. crazy he was serious terrified. he said don't kill me it's a casual he asked me if i would see about trying to get his passport back they could have very well have said no we are not giving the passport back and that would have been the end of it however they say they gave it back to me when i heard mark was over in russia i decided i needed a new way to escape. and i went to my attorney's place and i gave him a package sent to my children. in the old going to happen to me to be honest with you in the package with the letter and a new tablet that i had gotten because you know the f.b.i. they took the took everything they took bunny tablet the the cook every computer that was in my home. you know if my kids didn't have any way to do homework so i bought them a tablet as a gift. that i had to leave.

the f.b.i. and the concern in our committee which was focused on the counterintelligence issues about whether individuals around the president or the candidate himself were acting as agents of a foreign power wittingly or unwittingly. and one of the ways that russia exercises its flunse is financially. the most graphic i will us lation is moscow trump tower, where unbe noneses to the american people and this was something that the president was deseffing, the president was seeking to build a tower in moscow, perhaps the most lucrative in his life and seeking the help of krim lynn and you realize how deeply compromising that could be. we want to toll the money and determine if there is some other form of compromise. we don't know what the results of the counterintelligence investigation are. we are seeking that from the justice department and the intelligence committee. what happened to that probe, is it still ongoing and did it come to an end, what conclusions did they reach. >> what about the b

suing the f.b.i. to open up the records that have come to a lawsuit why is this lawsuit important and why do we need why is the public do we need to see these records and how long horseman is using this term in their investigations. while this lawsuit is important for those of us who have been targeted or who might be targeted in the future for engaging in nonviolent demonstrations to know how far the u.s. government has gone in terms of conducting surveillance upon african americans we have seen this in the past during the nineteen fifties and sixties dr martin luther king jr and other civil rights leaders were constantly under surveillance by our u.s. government and we are just now in the twenty first century getting a glimpse into the scope of the surveillance that was conducted during that time we know that tremendous law enforcement resources have been devoted to conducting surveillance on african-americans again who are simply standing up for freedom justice and equality and engaging in nonviole

they believed cha pell, the f.b.i. liaison with intell and the f.b.i.'s head of counterintelligence, peter strzok and he tells him, look, we now have proof positive, hillary clinton private server was hacked. we found this in here. and as i dug in to figure out what is this thing, it was an embedded placement in the server that directed every email coming in and every email going out of hillary clinton's private server which we know contained classified information, directed to go to a known front organization for the chinese government. . and peter strzok, after all the protection he tried to afford, he's going to sit there and -- afford hillary clinton, he's going so to sit there and lie -- he's going to sit there and lie? he remembered very well what frank rucker said. that was a lie. and since he has said previously , he told the truth, then any time he had ever told a lie it would have been admissible in front of a jury. even with the more restricted rules of evidence. you could have asked about every time he ever lied. i just chose to make one blan

how the f.b.i.ame to unmask them is a great detective story, and a rare window into this marriage made in hell. >> john carlin: what you're seeing is one of the world's most sophisticated intelligence operations when it comes to cyber espionage, using the criminal groups for their intelligence ends and protecting them from law enforcement. >> stahl: john carlin, the assistant attorney general for national security during the obama administration, echoes what current u.s. officials have confirmed to us about the russians. so, the intelligence agencies are what, piggybacking on the criminal enterprise? >> carlin: increasingly, you cannot tell which is which, when it comes to the criminal and the intelligence agency. so one day, the same crook may be doing something purely to make a buck. but that same crook may be directed by a trained intelligence operative using the sa tools and techniques to steal information from them for the goals of the state. >> stahl: why would the government rely on crooks? t

we also concur with your 12 recommendations for the f.b.i. report said the f.b.i. plans to replace the cyber guardian program later this year with a new system that is currently under development, bret. >> bret: thank you. up next we'll tell you who is feeling left behind by u.s. peace talks with the taliban. first here is some of our fox affiliates around the country. fox 2 in san francisco, the f.b.i. is assisting california officials in the investigation of a motorist who appeared to deliberately plow into a group of people in sunnyvale. the driver of the car was arrested. his name isn't being made public. fox 32 in chicago as authorities say they have found what they believe is the body of a 5-year-old boy who disappeared last week and that his parents have been charged with murder. police dug up what they think is the boy's body in a field and it was wrapped in plastic. that's a live look. we think. no, it's not. it was of dallas. our affiliate there. it is blue in the blue skies of dallas. one of the big stories parts of a train carrying a dangerous liquid de

but the f.b.i. agents or maybe mueller or one of his minions, they leaked to the media, they're all out there. and they were in position to cover the story. within hours, democratic protests -- protesters were waving caught red-handed signs outside curt weldon's district office. but it turns out there was no follow-up, there was no questions -- there were no questions, no gra jury investigation, noing. that's why they later called the curt weldon family and said, hey, all the stuff we got in our raid, you can come get it. apparently we didn't use it in the grand jury investigation. no, they just used it to defeat curt weldon. so it shouldn't be a surprise when mueller's report says, yeah, you know, we didn't have evidence of a crime by the trump administration or trump campaign regarding collusion, a of that. but we didn't exonerate him. well, no, that's not your job. of course you don't exonerate somebody. , it sure cial counsel seemed like -- just like comey, these guys that were all in tight, you

individuals here is some of what the indictment says in online posts and in conversations with an f.b.i. source to express support for violent jihad a desire to seek retribution for attacks against muslims and their willingness to become a mosque according to the affidavit following an attack on a mosque in new zealand on march thirteenth domingo posted the must be rich now the f.b.i. says it used confidential human sources to acquire information about domingo essentially began when he was posting on internet forums calling for revenge and retribution for the new zealand attacks and from what i understand federal officials first began talking with him on the internet then they set up in person meetings in those meetings he expressed a desire to attack a white nationalist rally that was set to take place in california he purchased hundreds of nails and these nails were apparently to be used in an improvised explosive device they were to be shrapnel that would then be detonated in an improvised explosive device at this white nationalist rally and kill everyone in attendance if possible no

and f.b.i.wever he was described by mueller was fake and i think it was intentional to make me look like somebody i wasn't and to harm president trump. the information that's come out about this person, mifsud, just last week he was outed in rome living two blocks away from the embassy and still on the payroll of this c.i.a. school. it was very interesting to see that. when i went public with the information last week, that the president called the italian minister three days ago and i'm sure joseph was brought up. that's the first thing. the other questions, stepan was never even brought up during my interrogation, because if i had known. >> shannon: they didn't ask? >> no, they never asked anything about him and the only thing they asked me about alex was if i remembered anything about my meeting with him. >> shannon: he's the second one in this chain? >> yes. he's somebody who i told bob mueller and the f.b.i. and i even testified to congress about this that i felt like he was recording and s

well i had seven f.b.i. agents essentially rushing me off of a shuttle bus at an airport after i hadn't slept in thirty hours i'm thrown into the back seat of a tinted black s.u.v. thrown in a prison cell without understanding why i was being arrested so i get there eyesore negotiating with the special counsel i have no idea what's going on you know they're talking in circles they're describing this character joseph smith sort of some sort of russian spy but he never was obviously that's what the big scandal is today and i basically plead guilty without understanding exactly what the real case was against me you want to pardon my i have no legal counsel no hope for a reason because those other lawyers i had obviously weren't up to par with this insane situation and they formally have applied for a pardon now they think there's a just reason and basis for that i don't expect it but if i'm obviously granted one i'd honorably accept where you heard one trump kind of dismissed you you know what will a nonentity

endemic to the f.b.i. was probably a failure among a group of leaders there at the upper echelon. so i don't like to hear attacks about the f.b.i. because i think the f.b.i. is an outstanding organization and i think chris wray is a great partner for me and i'm very pleased he is there as the director. if it becomes necessary to look over some former officials' activities, i expect i will be relying heavily on chris and relying on him and that's what i'm doing. i feel i have an obligation to make sure government power is not abused. i think that's one of the principle roles of the attorney general. >> i certainly agree. i think we all have on an obligation to insure government power is not abused. the question i have is what happens when the executive is potentially playing that role and that's where it doesn't seem to me there has been adequate oversight. thank you, mr. chairman. >> senator collins. >> thank you, mr. chairman. welcome, mr. attorney general. last june your predecessor announced that the de

cell broward sheriff's office miami police and f.b.i. . probably is the day when it's a felony published to the public i'm against only because i don't want to endanger their lives or anybody else by a little bit and as nasty and as disrespectful unprofessional. as look let's. get our i'm not going to stoop to the level to deal with the reason i did it right . for me. or. wonder you know why. aren't. there no longer. normal for some of the you know monitoring going anywhere in the. morning detective kenneth mark lewis he's a twenty year twenty five year veteran of the palm beach county sheriff's office. he retired back i think in two thousand and five but they brought him back on a part time basis specifically to start a unit. to investigate the sheriff's. political enemies so he was sort of like. harvey keitel in pulp fiction. for this year and. i don't think it worked out a way because he admitted to everything when. the male voice called him on the phone so if someone attacks. you might have given. can life. you want to know how i got m

while the f.b.i.elieves domingo was working alone, they do worry about how quickly he went from talking about violence to trying to kill people. jeff, it's what's known as the flash to bang effect, the f.b.i. this evening calling on anyone who sees any violent chatter online to report it. >> glor: jonathan vigliotti in long beach. jonathan, thank you very much. also in southern california we're following several developments after a deadly shooting at a synagogue. the 19-year-old suspect was charged today with one count of murder and three of attempted murder. a funeral was held today for the woman killed. david begnaud is there. >> reporter: the mourners packed the chabad of poway synagogue, somber, grief stricken. the wounded included rabbi yisroel goldstein. they came to honor the memory of lori kaye. >> lori was cut down because of who she is. >> reporter: today, the f.b.i. acknowledged that at least one tip came in five minutes before the attack about a threatening post on social media but there

interview that got me in trouble i told the f.b.i. when they're asking me have you been in talks with the russians or about hacked e-mails or anything like that after they had been talking to me about my contacts with the israelis for two hours i said no but there was this man joseph smith this maltese man who told me that the russians have e-mails you should look into him i noticed something very strange about the f.b.i. agents responses there was no response it's as if i told them the sky is blue and two plus two equals four when i told them this information about this man who had a parent information about russians in hillary clinton's e-mails and now what's been revealed and what's unfortunately after i pled guilty and i couldn't take my guilty plea back that this guy looked like he was working with western intelligence operatives and the possibly the cia itself why did you plead guilty well look at the time i pled guilty i had been violently arrested at an airport ok i was under sealed i got well i had seven f.b.i. agents essenti

and the f.b.i. we're adding 47 new f.b.i. agents to the f.b.i. for a variety of new initiatives. and among them is the f.b.i.'s work on violent extremism. chairman serrano: it's important for this committee to know at a certain point how many folks will be assigned to this, or how many dollars will be assigned to it, because it is an issue that concerns all americans, i believe. need to deal with it in a proper way. attorney general barr: yes, mr. chairman. the people who are on the watch for this kind of thing, whether they be f.b.i. agents or u.s. attorneys pursuing potential cases are the same people that would also look at other forms of terrorism potentially. it's hard to allocate exactly he dollars by that category. obviously it is a serious issue and one that the f.b.i. devotes a lot of effort to. chairman serrano: as long as we know the agency is looking at it, is dealing with it, is taking it seriously we can then work together on it. that's the easier part. >> mr. chairman, if i could add a bit more. we do have in the f.b.i.'s budget this year, we have the $16 million f

the f.b.i.'s preliminary data for the first six-months of 2018 show a 4.3% decline in violent crime over all, and a 6.7% decline in murders and a 12% decline in robbery and burglary, compared to the first six-months of 2017. in order to continue this momentum, president trump has requested an additional $137 million for violent crime and transnational organized crime prosecutions, as well as an additional 100 million for the project safe neighborhood grants to state and local law enforcement. the department also requests $5.8 million to enhance violent crime and firearms prosecutions. over the first two-years of the trump administration, we have a also gained ground against the opioid epidemic, which is by far the deadliest drug crisis this country has ever faced. the department increased the number of defendants charges with federal opioid-related crimes by 28% in fiscal year 2017 to fiscal year 2018. prescriptions of the seven most frequently abused prescription opioids are down more than 23% s

and that's why they created this so yeah and it was a while decades later the f.b.i.even at that time they raided us they knew who was the source of the new york times material and they knew we weren't because they had all the material from the stellar wind which is a domestic collection of data on phone calls e-mails and so on they knew we had no contact with anybody in the new york times they already knew that so and they knew who did it that was thomas tamm from the department of justice the lawyer who is writing the request for warrants to the fai's a court for the d.o.j. he could see in there they already had wiretaps and were reading their e-mails and phone calls and everything and they raided you anyway and they raided us anyway william binney thank you for your time tonight and for your service thank you to our country coming off the hawks are circling venezuela is war imminent this is the big picture on our. mats geysers financial survival guide liquid assets not those that you can convert into this quite easily. to keep in mind no assets into place. for. the

but the f.b.i. said today a d.n.a. test shows his story was a lie. adriana diaz has more on a false lead that provided false hope for investigators and a grief- stricken family. >> yeah. >> it's like reliving that day all over again. theamily of timmothy pitzen, who vanished when he was six years old in 2011, is broken after the f.b.i.'s stunning announcement that the claim he'd been found was a hoax. >> unfortunately, this child is not our beloved timmothy. we know that you are out there somewhere, tim, and we will never stop looking for you. >> reporter: in a statement late today, the f.b.i. said d.n.a. results have been returned indicating that the person in question is not timmothy pitzen. cbs news has learned the person is actually 23-year-old brian michael rini of medina, ohio, who has a long criminal history. the claim came from this person who appeared in this quiet kentucky neighborhood early yesterday startling neighbors who ed pole.>>or aapoli rt,he mn ed himse-y old timmothy pitzen and said he'd "escaped two kidnappers that had been holdi

recently released testimony from the f.b.i. says top lawyer suggests that high ranking clinton supporters gave the bureau conspiratorial information on alleged trump russia collusion it was during the twenty sixteen presidential campaign as well as after trump became president according to james baker's testimony clinton linked officials discussed wiretapping trump as it talked about the possibility of the f.b.i. using the twenty fifth amendment seen as a way for congress and the cabinet to remove the president for the new york times allegedly also involved like you said that he felt extremely uncomfortable about developments from the very beginning. i had a jaundiced eye about everything i had skepticism about all this stuff and was concerned about all of this this whole situation was horrible and was not will and who were trying to figure out what to do and was highly unusual political commentator who you know rivera told us that the story raises questions about some prominent democrats. when you have that many people who are

well because first of all the intelligence agencies and the f.b.i. are elected bodies they have and there are laws against them and to fearing a domestic politics we shouldn't be naive to think that that hasn't happened before j. edgar hoover was the f.b.i. director for forty eight years and he had a file. on everybody so the idea that this would happen shouldn't shock anyone but we know that an opposition research paper that the clinton campaign and the d.n.c. paid for became the basis for an investigation of the candidate and then the president who was elected and this is not something that this permanent power in which intelligence agencies are there who can ministrations come and go and intelligence agents are always there they are power in many ways more powerful than the elected officials you could listen to j.f.k. wanted to break up the cia to a thousand pieces and then even harry truman interestingly a month after the assassination to the day of j.f.k. wrote a piece in the washington post in which he said he created the cia just to collect in

nd f.b.i. informant, a revelation that led president donald trump to accuse the f.b.i. of planning a spy in -- planting a spy in his campaign. the republican coined the time spygate to designate the alleged scandal. after halper's links to american intelligence were revealed, "the new york times" and "the washington post" reported he and another cambridge luminary, former mi-6 chief richard dearlove, raised concerns about lakova's contacts with flynn. that were subsequently passed to american and british intelligence. far bigger than watergate because watergate concerned people hired by the committee to re-elect richard nixon. and this involves the spies former spies of the british government working in collusion with the f.b.i., the clinton mpaign, fusion g.p.s. -- g.p.s. says lakova blames halper for distorting his brief interaction with flynn into, quote, an international espionage scandal in which she wound up as collateral damage. what halper staged, she said, is a textbook black op to dirt upthe reputation of a political -- dirty up the reputation of a political o
