you could be investigated by the f.b.i. i mean, the f.b.i. has a lot of other things that they should be focusing on and the f.b.i. should be there looking at issues like china. now the knoxville f.b.i. has been very concerned about china. give me a little update, what is status of the china initiative at doj. >> senator, we regard people's republic of china extraordinarily serious threat to our universities and -- >> you are stonewalling me on that, we know they are an aggressive threat. >> we continue to investigate -- >> okay. >> prc efforts to -- >> do you see them as an adversary? >> i see them as adversarial with respect to our ransomware, respect to hacking, respect to counter intelligence and counter espionage. >> over the last several months, last nine months, several espionage researchers have been dropped, charges dismissed, including those of a ut professor at ut knoxville and the waway case is there. director wray testified the f.b.i. opens a new chinese espionage investigation every 12 hours. so are this apparent failures of the

if the f.b.i. is paying attention to school board meetings they're not paying attention to other things like international terrorism, violent crime and those types of things. this is something the attorney general does not need to stake out this position where federal law enforcement is going to stand shoulder to shoulder with local law enforcement policing these school board meetings. >> harris: it is hard to believe he would go there when they've already circumvented law enforcement on the ground. they've already said -- look, it was approached during this hearing and we'll be getting back in a moment when they come back to break for those of you just joining "the faulkner focus", we're going back to that senate judiciary hearing and you'll see senator tom cotton and ted cruz coming up. matt whitaker, it was talked about that not every violent threat or crime is actually reaching to the federal level. so why call in the feds? what was law enforcement on the ground doing or not doing with what was

the f.b.i. has confirmed that they have found human remains and right alongside those remains are personal items that belong to brian laundrie. they include a notebook and knapsack. many people consider it odd the five-week search which had no sign of life at all suddenly in one day with the parents along with investigators go right to the spot where there is a body and where there are personal items. the attorney for the laundrie family says it's because this park was closed and also in part because large sections of this area were under water for weeks at a time. the family attorney says brian laundrie, the remains are his. >> the probability is strong that it is brian's remains but we'll wait until forensic results come in and verify that. >> the f.b.i. is not going that far yet. they're waiting for forensic identification. they shut down the park now and f.b.i. is likely to be processing this scene for several days ahead. dana, back to you. >> dana: thank you, steve. trace, this happened a l

weaponize the f.b.i. to intimidate and threaten them against exercising their constitutional rights. this is an overreach on the part of the democrats that they are going to rue. these school board moms will turn around and vote the democrats out of office if they keep this up. >> harris: so marc, i want to try to understand the dynamic here. i remember not too long ago during the pandemic when everybody was on virtual, my kids included, we were a central workers in the home -- essential workers in the home. they needed parents to navigate spaghetti of what was coming through with homework assignments and the rest, and balancing jobs and everything else across the country. parents were seen as heroes at that point. leak zooms that they gossiped about us in certain municipalities. how did we get to this point that we're seen as the enemy? >> exactly. and look, they depended on parents. the parents needed the kids to be in school. we know there was no reason for them not to be in school for most of that per

i think the f.b.i. trying to do exactly what you are suggesting and from the clinton campaign's perspective i'm sure they would have been delighted to be able to show that. but what they wanted was the cloud of suspicion around trump for political purposes. and as far as that's concerned, it didn't matter if the allegations were true or not. what mattered did they have a story they could sell to the public that trump might be in cahoots with the russians. what durham is looking at. it this is a three-stage thing. they are looking at the hacking of the dnc, the steele dossier, and this alpha bank angle. and every place where you see that you find perkins law firm involved. the outfit that got crowd strike to analyze the dnc servers. what we didn't find out until years later is that crowd strike has a theory that russia was responsible for the hack but they can't prove it. that was something that was kept under wraps. with the steele dossier perkins is the one who got fusion gps and steele to put it toget
