. >> we watch the su's go in for air support. >> when i was on a higgins boat, someone yelled hey farkus the guy took your picture? >> i don't know who it was. i looked to see a who was calling me, and that's when the picture was taken. >> this is like i landed at inchon. >> when you were going on, were naval bombardments going on is this. >> yes. >> what about this ramp? >> when we were going in, this was leaking. >> how many marines in here? >> a squad, 13. >> you had 13 guys on this, got the engine roaring away. >> yep. >> are you talking to each other? >> no. you're not saying nothing. you're waiting to get in and get out of here. >> were the guys in the boat nervous? >> we were all too young. i was 19 years old. we didn't know what death was or anything like that. we were eager for a fight. >> landing along side the marines were republic. >> they provided clothing, rifles and other things because we were part of the u.n. troops. >> you looked just like u.s. marines? >> private first class san. >> the battleships were firing and planes were bombing. after that we landed. >> now we co

farkus, evelyn farkus, deputy assistant secretary for defense for russian affairs said very publiclyis was part of an attempt of the obama administration to spread classified information, then you see the developments that have happened today, i will just say, again, i'm somewhat more from a media standpoint somewhat intrigued by the lack of interest that we've seen in some of these public revelations and reportings that have gone in that direction than we've seen in some of the other directions. that being said, i'm not going to get into -- >> as it relates to neil gorsuch. >> yeah. >> is the white house comfortable with the nuclear option potentially being invokeed? >> the president said several that this was something that he would support. we're comfortable in the sense that, obviously, that decision is up to leader mcconnell to make, how he wants the senate to deal with this. i think majority leader's comments are very clear and the direction he's headed in. i think this is -- we have entered a whole new league if this goes forward, in terms of democrats really going and saying

liz: evelyn farkus later became an visor to the hillary clinton campaign similarly susan rice advised hillary clinton. she said she advised obama officials to seek as much information as they can about trump and his team, parade that information around, get it to capitol hill where leaks geometrically rise. >> i was urging my fellow colleagues. it was telling the hill people, get as much intelligence you can before president trump leaves the administration. >> if there was anything extremely bad having to do with anything of the president's staff, it would have come out because it was their goal to get those leaks out there. this is not the case. this is far more sinister. the fact that the mainstream media is not even covering this and disclosing the journalists who used to work for the administration. liz: let's switch gears and get to the neil gorsuch vote. we have senator jeff merks rkley going on a marathon diatribe. tweeting quote dems and merrick garland ship has sailed. let it go. cher is referring to the block of the obama pick merrick garland. even cher is saying enough is e

deputy assistant secretary of defense and now nbc analyst evelyn farkus. >> i urged my colleagues andh intelligence as you can before president obama leaves the administration, i had a fear that somehow it would disappear. the trump folks if they found out how we knew what we knew about the trump staff dealing with russian and they would try to compromise those sources and methods. >> lou: joining me to discuss, is michael mucasy under president bush and judge, it is great to have you with us. this is an extraordinary moment on live television. it happened on march 2nd. no one picked it up until today. what is your reaction to what a former defense department official is saying? >> i would have to go over it. it sounds as if she is saying that there was surveillance conducted of the incoming team and that is may not have been unlawful surveillance. it may have been in the normal course, but the focus was on the incoming team and disseminate as widely to the people on the hill and elsewhere. you just heard it for the first time. >> lou: that urgency that attaches to preserving the inte

evelyn farkus served in the obama administration only until 2015, encouraging her former colleagues and people on the hill, get as much intelligence as they can about the trump team before they leave office. watch this. >> i was urging my former colleagues and frankly speaking the people on the hill. it was more actually aimed at telling the hill people, get as much information as you can. get as much intelligence as you can before president obama leaves the administration because i had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior people who left. it would be hidden away in the bureaucracy that the trump folk, if they found out how we knew what we knew ab the trump staff dealing with russians, that they would try to compromise those sources, meaning we would no longer have access to that intelligence. so i became very worried because not enough was coming out into the open and i knew that there was more. we have very good intelligence on russia. so then i had talked to some of my former colleagues and i knew they were trying to help get information to the hill. >

farkus's add mamissions e are devastating. >> she says her comments are wildly misinterpreted. and the week before that devin nunes got wrapped up in the white house's diversion. >> the president needs to know these intelligence reports are out there. >> briefing the commander and chief and the media before his own committee about classified information on the president and his associates. >> i appreciated the fact they found what they found. >> trump calling nunes's announcement vindication. later it turns out that officials inside trump's white house were the source of the documents shown to nunes. >> we believe this is nothing more than an effort to roll more smoke bombs into an investigation that was making process. >> unmasking cannot happen on the order of one official. that official has to make a question to the intelligence communities, who have to make a decision on whether there is appropriate to unmask that and a paper trail that is not done in the dark. one former senior intelligence official described it to me like irish baptismal records. it cannot happen secretly

farkus who made that blundering omission to participating in a conspiracy on msnbc that we talked aboutator for congress, this is right. this is ripe for a congressional investigation. i kind of wish i was back in my old spot because i would be issuing a lot of subpoenas over this last few days, i can assure you. ainsley: how does it make you feel on a personal level? do you feel violated at all knowing over the last year you were part of the trump team when he was running? do you feel like you were listening to or you were surveilled? >> you know, i don't put a lot of time into it because it's obviously not about me. if i sell into that pool of folks, you know, it will be a shame because we were doing the right thing for president trump at the time during the campaign, and we were doing the right thing for america during the transition. trying to build the government from scratch. and it will be a real shame if the obama administration was using that for political advantage, which is what president trump has said from the beginning. steve: sure, and it would be tragic because you weren

whys has evelyn farkus?, paul manafort, kushner, why isn't susan being brought in? let's look at the facts. steve: why did you need a spreadsheet? >> yeah. what were you doing with that? and susan rice unmasked some names. if that's been leaked out, the law could have been broken. could have been. ainsley: and, to me, that sounds like a lot of information. >> absolutely. ainsley: so if you just listen for a week or so when you learn that there's nothing wrong going on, do you really need the separate sheets? how long did this go on? >> and if there's nothing wrong, then you can testify, and it will all be better. brian: before you say chairman nunez, this is what he was talking about, he said it had nothing to do with russia. so that's different. so this might be something else. or it might be about -- >> if it's not russia related, was it not general flynn? was it not some other adviser if you're a baseball fan, you're going to love this opening day. obviously has been here. you also had the 70th anniversar
