organization or the fbi as a crime-fighting organization. my second question will deal with the whole counterterrorism issue and the role the fbi should most effectively play, the crime-fighting piece versus the intelligence piece, an issue that i know you are very comely with and have been very involved in examining and considering. so to the first question, for my own experience, which is of course in the corporate sector. i find that there is certain organizations i culture, by orientation and by training are better at prevention and detection. i would say that's true of the auditing profession, in my view. the fbi has a great and well-earned reputation as a crime-fighting organization. one of the issues i would pose to you is who is going to own the responsibility -- i know there are taskforces and there are committees which are inherently difficult to manage, but look looking at the tarp funds, but alfons and what will be taking place in the disposition of many so-called toxic assets there is going to be a huge sum of money and opportun

, where the fbi as a crime-fighting association. my second question will deal with the counter terrorism issue, and the role the fbi should most effectively play in crime fighting vs intelligence. this is an issue i know you are very familiar with and have been involved in examining. the first question, from my own experience in the corporate sector, i find there are certain organizations by culture, orientation and training are better at prevention and detection. i would say that is true of the auditing profession. the fbi has a great and well- earned reputation as a crime- fighting organization. one of the issues i would pose to you is, who will own the responsibility? i know there are task forces, committees which are inherently difficult to manage. just looking at the tarp funds, what will be taking place in the disposition of toxic assets, there will be a huge sum of money moving around and opportunities for fraud. why is the fbi focused on the preventive part, when we have many organizations private and public, who in my view,

somebody gave me a book of the fbi's 10 most wanted from 1921, j. over -- j. edgar hoover invented it as a young man, the ictuent. everybody gets one page with their wanted picture and at the bottom, when they were captured. at the time that i was on the 10 most wanted list, angela davis, 2 young women, we had six of the ten most wanted, you go from bank robber to bank robber, then you have these students and young activists, then you go back to bank robbers. >> host: paul in princeton, new jersey, you are on with bernardine dohrn and bill ayers. >> defense spending is 19% of the federal budget, not 57%. but for mr. ayers, the bomb that went off in the town house, that was intended for for dicks, it was un mail bomb meant to go off at a dance at fort dix. why not come clean about it to dlly? leat did you have to do with that bomb? y wthe book discusses that's length. the fact is that the people who hatw the whistle on what they were up to in the town house was a loss and it was something we peod very hard to work away from. that was a terrible, terrible decisi

the fbi was treated just one year later. today, i want to talk about the fbi role in combating white- collar crime. we talk about the need for integrity in the marketplace and board room, in government, and touch upon our unique roles in this fiscal calculus.

he turns out to be a paid informer for the fbi. according to some reports and interviews from other newspapermen, he says that he was paid $8,000 a month to survey all -- to surveil white supremacist organizations. we get into the periphery of behavior and comments that would be an attractive for other races and other people's heritage. he was the one recommending all of this. we find he is actually a paid informant of the fbi. i go back and i looked at my list i have different lists of members. there are other fbi people here. they decided to be a sustaining member. [laughter] i see all these people connected with it we get up and have a member -- president obama was asked to send something to the national set -- cemetery because of the connection to these people. president obama decided to balance it by sending it to a black unit in washington i noted that, and these people are all involved with the arlington cemetery funding. that action taken 400,000 out of an account and laundered it back and forth of accounts that we were wor

somebody gave me a book of the fbi's most wanted from 1921 when j. hoover invested it to the present and everybody gets one page with the wanted picture and at the bottom it says when they were capturedded and at the time i was on the list, angela davis, h. rap brown, two young women from bran dies, and six of the ten most wanted so you go through bank robber, bank robber, thick-nicked guy and have all that's students and young activityists and then you go back to bank robber. >> host: paul in new jersey, your on with bernadine and bail bill ayers. >> caller: to straighten out, defense spending little 19% but not 57% of the federal budget. mr. aer, the bomb went went off, mail bomb meant to go off at a dance. come clean about it. what did you have to do with the book? >> guest: the question of coming clean. the book discusses that at length. >> guest: new morning discusses it. >> guest: the fact is that the people who blew the whistle on what they were up to in the townhouse was us. and it was something that we tried very hard to -- you know, to work

my father was an fbi. >> really, really? >> in fact, his first post was in sioux falls, south dakota. long before i was born, by the way. i might have been raised there. over the years. thank you. we are joined by mark warner, senator warner of virginia. mark, do you have any opening comments you'd like to make? >> senator tester told me since i was late i had to reserve my comments. >> well, john runs the show around here, so we appreciate it. let me start with some questions. i'm going to leave the clock off. i'll invite my colleagues sings there are three or four of us here to have a more informal conversation. if i start a line of questioning and you have a thought along the same line, jump right in here, so we make this in a way more cohesive in that sense. so many places to start. let me start with this. since t.a.r.p.'s inception the program's scope, size and complexity have dramatically increased. i made note of this in my opening comments when i noted the 12 separate initiatives under t.a.r.p. today. some of these i

>> if there is a reason for the fbi to investigate and the fbi has a right to investigate we wouldn't stand a way of an appropriate investigation. >> um contracts has the fed assigned to handle freddie mac paper and fannie mae mortgage securities under your purview and how much will black rock be paid for those services? >> we have hired for asset managers to manage the mortgage-backed securities portfolio. black rock is one of them. i don't know how much we are paying them. >> will black rock be handling freddie mac paper? >> they will be managing gse guaranteed papers that would include freddie, fannie and johnny. >> i would urge your staff to go back and look at black rock and operations at first boston before he founded black rock in relation to what they transacted with freddie mac and when they did that. >> the gentleman's time is expired. >> thank you. that we thank the chairman for his time and at the outset of this hearing, bayh said that it's time to shine some light on the events surrounding bank of america's acquisition of merrill lynch. at this point i would say we have g

the fbi and the department have made some reforms in this area.the ig is following up to see how effectively they've been implemented. we're following up as well. we're expecting a report reasonably soon by the ig on exigent letters, a particularly abusive method being used for awhile and discontinued, and we expect to continue to monitor this. there's actually been legislation proposed by congressman nadlor to reform the use of nsls. we continue to be very active, i think n that area. eighth, the issue of state secrets. again, something that we began in the prior congress. serious issues about the abuse by the justice department of the so-called state secrets doctrine not just to restrict information, but literally to throw out of court completely allegations of serious abuse by intelligence, by other agencies with respect to issues like the warrantless wiretapping rendition and many others. i think this is the area where most of our members would agree we've seen the greatest disappointment from the new administration, because the new administra

the fbi was at the height of its power. he so enraged j.gar hoover that he wrote an open letter to howard which he released to the press which he called howard's charges baseless. this letter was the topic of editorials and nearly every black newspaper in the country which praised dr. howard and was a topic in virtually all the leading white newspapers in the south which condemned him. he was public enemy number one. 1956 dr. howard moved to chicago where he made his mark as a prominent surgeon on the south side. he had a ready medical practice from a lot of people he had known in mississippi and knew of him. played an important role in the emerging independent movement against the the daily machine. he was one of the organizers and donors to the chicago league of negro voters in the late 1950s. it wasn't always successful. he ran for congress as a republican in 1958 against dawson. and it did not turn out well for him but it was a campaign where a lot of people who were involved, later became quite prominent in the independent movement wer

we are, of course, honored as a club today to hear from robert mueller, the director of the fbi. he is the sixth director of the agency and nominated by president george w. bush, he was sworn in as director on september 4th, 2001. just a week before 9/11. after receiving his undergraduate degree at princeton university and his master's degree in international relations from the york university, the director joined the marine corps, he served as a marine officer for three years and led a rifle platoon of a third of marine division in vietnam for one year. for his service you received the bronze star, two navy commendation medals, the purple heart, and of the vietnamese cross of gallantry. following his career in the marines, the director went on to earn his law degree from the university of virginia law school, he served as a litigator, the u.s. attorney, and acting deputy attorney general for the department of justice. he will speak to us today about a very important topic in the economy generally and to this city in particular, financial crime. director mueller, you have the flo

after a two-year investigation, the fbi in cooperation with the part of justice arrested 19 people in utah trafficking in indian artifacts from federal lands. i'm extremely concerned by the manner in which sees once were executed. they came in in full combat gear like they were going after the worst drug dealers in the world. in the process, i don't believe anybody should be taking indian artifacts, but in the process, one of the leading figures in the whole county down there was a leading doctor had delivered almost everybody who lives in the county as a doctor, he committed suicide. he was by all intents and purposes and that standing member of the community and a decent man. critical to the community. from health and welfare standpoint. the way they came in there -- i have no problem going after people and violate the law, but they came in like they were the worst criminals on earth and in the process, this man -- a very strong individual and good person, decided to commit suicide. this bothers me. media reports state that over 100 federal agents were used in this operation. explai

former attorney general ashcroft and the director of the fbi were both named defense. they sought threshold dismissal on grounds of qualified immunity. disagreeing with the district court and the court of appeals, the supreme court held ikthal's pleadings insufficient to stay the claim for relief against ashcroft and the fbi director. the majority opinion on justice sutor's dissent variously interpreted the court's 2000 decision in bell atlantic corporation v.tromley. under tromley, a plaintiff must allege facts that if taken as true state a plausible -- plausible basis for relief. the district judge [indiscernible] with us. jerry didn't create the applausibility standard, but he did begin the whole business. [laughter] >> so perhaps he can tell us which side got it right in ikthal. [laughter] >> in my personal view, the court messed up the federal rules. justice breyer dissented separately in ikthal to underscore a key point the circuit had made. when a government defendant asserts qualified immunity, the trial court responsible for managing the case constructs a disc

you might see fbi and think it is air marshal, but it is not. host: this is yellow springs, ohio on our democrats on. caller: a couple of years ago i travelled to florida and was going to see my sick sister. as i went through security i was singled out. i was told to step aside. i did. but what was so humiliating about the experiences that everyone was going by, looking at you, think you did something wrong. my only crime was that i bought a 1-way ticket because my husband was going to come later, at a later date to get me. my suggestion is, why couldn't you have somewhere where you can pull the person aside like a little screen area, rather than having the whole world looking at you thinking you did something wrong? until this day i still have that humiliation. i really do not understand why you must be got at for the whole world to think uh oh, what did she do? guest: i am sorry you had that experience. everycheck point does have a private screening area, so if that happens again you can ask to be screened privately. they have places out of si

who are not air marshals and sometimes they acquire them the courtesy of reporting so if you are an fbi agent or secret service and you are flying armed they will give them a little bit of special courtesy so you may be seeing fbi and the air marshal were as the air marshal in those cases were not able to identify. >> host: yellow springs, ohio, good morning on our democrats line. >> caller: yes, sir i have a question. a couple of years ago i travelled to florida. i was going to see my sick sister and after i went to security i was singled out, i was pulled and told to step aside, and i.com but what was so humiliating about the experience is everyone is going by, they are looking at you thinking you did something wrong my only crime was that i bought a one-way ticket because my husband was going to come later at a later date to get me. my suggestion is, why couldn't you have somewhere where you can pull the person assigned like a low screen area and rather than have the whole world looking at you thinking you did something wrong and until this day i still have that humiliation. i really

or deal with the bombing in saudi arabia that they blocked the fbi from going and finding out what happened. they couldn't take charge of the two embassies bombed in africa. -- or yemen where the ambassador blocked the fbi from looking for people. therefore during the entire period of the clinton administration the ability of al-qaeda to plan 9/11 was never stopped, and the people who were doing it were never stopped, and as a result we were left in enormous danger. again and again the legalisms and self-deceptions of treating enemies as criminals led to more and more disastrous results. today many of the same civil libertarians defend the accused terrorists, follow criminal proceedings in a war, ideal ogs are now in the obama justice department. it's amazing how many of them come from law firms which were eagerly giving pro bono representation to alleged terrorists in guantanemo. the challenge for the obama administration is simple: americans know better. this isn't the first issue in which the president's clearly and devicively on the wrong side and the american people have begun to get i

there, our law enforcement to become fbi, state and local police, have their hands full. let's make no mistake about it. part of the infrastructure is american owned, american operated, and we're spending a lot of time focusing on the southern border, and forcing the law there against the cartels. the question remains whether the same emphasis is being placed on that priority within law enforcement this country. you are absolutely right that we cannot and ignore the reality. i said a long time ago we worry about weapons of mass destruction and we often talk about radiological nuclear, biological, and chemical. chemical warfare has been waged a long time in this country. it is called drugs, and we have been losing that war for a long time as well. that is why the president's renewed focus, and hopefully the mexican government for the first time moving police and guards to the border, is a sign that we will sustain a aggressive posture down there until we clean the area up. we have an infrastructure in the united states that require similar attention as well. host: our conv

it was a meeting of top officials of all the departments, fbi, dea, the d.a., etc.. i learned something surprising and that like to say what is and ask you to take a good look. that is that virtually all the narcotics traffic in this country, but routes that drugs travel and the people to control those drugs, the hits that are ordered are essentially controlled by certain gangs in federal prisons and some state prisons today. they even gave me the names of the prisons. i spoke to bob miller and i spoke to him about this. it is not acceptable that narcotics trafficking directions be given out of federal or state prisons. i would like to ask you to make a thorough investigation and i would be happy to give you the information i have i will not discuss here. what i am asking you for is a commitment to take a strong, in- depth look at this. >> i will certainly do that. there are measures in place, the monitoring of telephone calls, the monitoring of people who visit with people detained, certainly in federal system. but i will look at the of permission you have expressed

that is an fbi conclusion. the national health care anti-fraud association estimates that 3% of all health standings is lost to fraud. whether it's 8% or 10%, it's a significant amount. some suggest fraud and abuse is only a problem in the public sector. senators sar bain -- senator sanders, i think, answered that clearly. how well these programs are managed is very important. i authentic your analogy to use the suggestion where fraud and abuse is occurring is misplaced. department of labor is a key enforcement agent. as of may 2009, a month ago, they initiated 768 and 207 criminal investigations obtaining monetary penalties of more than $205 million. they currently have 73 civil and 60 criminal investigations that are ongoing. criminal activities often organized crime operations result in employers and individuals losing millions. organized crime is not employees of medicare or medicaid, it's the people taking advantage of the system and scamming it at the disadvantage of people who count on these programs. th

. >> and one of the things that came out in the fbi's financial crimes report for 2007 was that they're actually seeing some cases and i care about this because i come from a state where we value high quality healthcare. we haven't had a lot of issues with this but there have been recent healthcare fraud cases which included medical professionals risking patient harm with unnecessary surgeries and things like that. what are you doing to combat this particular kind of fraud? >> i mean, that's a very good point. there's not only an economic consequence to some of the fraud that we see. there are healthcare outcomes that get affected in a negative way by at least some of the things we've seen. and that i found to be very honest with you very surprising when i became attorney general and saw the results of some of these fbi efforts. and so we are going to be looking not only at the financial aspect of this but the -- in some ways the ultimate fraud whether or not patients are getting the care or the government is getting the care for which it is paid and whether or not people's lives are be

one of things mentioned at the fbi security is their top priority. you going to cyber and something else and again and you can't really understand this field unless you stay and play in it and the developments are too fast to go away and that isn't just true in the law enforcement field, it's true across-the-board. they've developed a career path within the fbi where if someone comes in the stay with it their whole career and get more advanced training. that's happening in the network security field and other places but we need to accelerate that and i think phil is right we need to make the school for kids so that it's something they want to do. >> i would say on this point i think there are a lot of aspects insider security were there will be controversy in congress i think on work force of allied and training. it's something there can be congressional encouragement for scholarships and training programs and it's all so easily something that we can work with private sector on that's already bought its own training. goebel has its own and training i

and it's something the fbi director testified in the house of representatives about. is there anything that you would like to offer us today on that question about how we could prevent that from occurring or if you'd like to respond in the same way, i'm happy to receive that. >> i mean, i understand the concern but i think there are measures taken to minimize that possibility. terrorists -- people who are considered terrorists are generally held out of the general population so there's not the ability to interact with other prisoners in the way that some might and have an ability to radicalize them. and what we tried to put in place are programs to deal with -- to occupy the time of the people who are in these facilities so that they have alternatives. they have the ability to think of a life outside the prison and if they have options, if they think they have a life that they can lead on the right side of the law, they are far less susceptible to these radicalization efforts. >> guantanamo was constructed into such a way to accommodate this particular requirement. it

in the former attorney general and director of the fbi were both named defendants. they saw a threshold dismissal on grounds of qualified immunity. disagreeing with the district court and court of appeals, the supreme court held the big leagues were insufficient -- held the plebes -- deeply beans -- pleadings were insufficient. a plant this must -- a plaintiff must allege a fax -- alleged fa facts. jerry did not create the plausibility standard, but he did began the whole business. [laughter] perhaps he can tell us which side got it right. in my personal view, the court messed up the federal rules. justice briar dissented separately to underscore a seat -- a key point the court had made. one government defendant asserts qualified immunity, the trial court that is responsible for managing the case can structure discovery in ways that diminish the risk of

. >> bob: brought to you fbi -- to you by the world's most refreshing beer. top 6, patterson, gonzalez and bard for the nats. patterson has pulled the ball grounding out to 1st. he advanced a runner from 2nd to 3rd in the 2nd. he scored on the gonzalez base hit. he checks that one. it's cut off by pena, one out. >> rob: good reaction by the left-handed throwing 1st baseman. >> bob: how about alberto gonzalez day at that time -- day at the ball park? >> rob: he gets better and better. there's a double that will bring in two runs. dukes and dunn. what a day for the kids. three of the four runs, he's driven. >> bob: first pitch swinging pops up to short. two down. [cheering and applause] gonzalez interesting, he only hit 1.73 last year with the yankees in 28 games before they sent him down. 250 at berry. july 31st they got him. he came up and hit .347 for the nats. here's josh bard with two great swings. one that stung the rays for a base hit rbi. bard's batting average on the steady rise. he's getting more confidence. he's the one guy i see walking around the t

from the united states citizens brought by an without warrants, caused by the abuses discovered by the fbi in national security letters. how do we justify continuing these expansive authorities? even with these expand authorities, they're being abused. what is the justice department doing looking into these reports of abuse. >> they are insuring that national security is conducted in a way consistent with authorities designed to protect privacy and civil liberties. there is a framework that really struck a follow. the department of justice and intelligence agency follows strict regulation, whether we do surveillance. there are strict articles and guidelines. >> the problem i have is that more and more we find about -- find out about this not from the intelligence agencies, not from our government, by picking up the newspaper. it is reaching the point where "the new york times" gets us the information quicker and more detailed, plus we get the crossword puzzle. if this continues, i do not know how we will reauthorize any of these or they will be views that way. >> the requirements that we'r

we had attorney general holder and fbi director robert mueller not too long ago and there were quite serious questions on all of the issues raised here and many others that were asked by members and we will continue to follow up on the issue. it's hard to tell me in abstract what we'll do because we have to see what happens, but our strong hope is that this justice department will be willing to cooperate with congressional oversight and we will continue to push it, as need be. yes? >> i'm afraid we have to end this part of the program, but elliott is available, and can you be here for another minute or two in. >> well, not much longer. unfortunately, i need to get back for an oversight meeting, and in a few minutes on capitol hill, but i'll try to be here for at least a few minutes off to the side. >> thank you very much for an enlightening presentation, and we look forward to our next speaker. thank you so much, elliott. [ applause ] >> that was fantastic. thank you so much, elliott, and nan. without much further adieu, i could talk a lot about this, but in the interests of time i'm

. >> the has the fbi looking into where the money went from how rodney gillery used his money, did they the sickle cell charity money last year so there's a lot of sort of issues at hand here, and also if you remember the ncaa combined the two investigations, football and basketball, to really kind of speed up the process. the reggie bush investigation going on, and now this is my opinion here. that usc had to do something to show the ncaa they were acting in good faith and they were going to do something so that they weren't going to get hammered. i'm not saying i know with 100% certainty they were going to serve up basketball, but be hard to see them doing much to football. pete carroll has never been linked directly to the ceilings that's the big difference here with the allegations directed at tim floyd. >> andy, as far as the timing is going down, the ncaa -- do you get the sense that there's a possibility that because o steven fstrays, stephen strasburg, dustin ackley, ackley, donovan take it, donovan take it, jorge sanchez, wh are involved, the ncaa waited to see what was going t

the fbi has put together a new intelligence capability along the southwest border. we are trying to stop the floor -- flow of materials and drugs into our country. this is a priority for us. >> thank you. >> welcome and thank you for your service. at her confirmation hearing we talked about civil rights crimes. you made a commitment to me that you would do whatever you could in your power to make sure that was funded. my first question is, have you been successful? the group that motivated the response for that bill would like to have a meeting with the justice department and has been turned away. can you answer would you have done to get the funding for the bill? would you agree to meet with the principles of the organization so we can get these crimes resolved? >> i will have to look and see where we stand with regard to the budget for next year. i cannot remember how much money was dedicated to the product you talk about. i will check it and get back to you. i would be glad to meet with the people you are talking about. >> i will communicate that to them. it is i

fbi tried to pack the courts and take over the supreme court, american people snapped back at him so hard, he tried to pass the law anyway. >> would you do during the john edwards campaign? >> i am a national -- i was at the center for american progress in washington, i have been a long time, part of the book comes from a dissertation, i have a doctorate in political science and a law degree, i have been a long time political activist and an activist on social justice issues including electoral reform, issues dealing with democracy. that partly explains the fascination of the book. i was john edwards's foreign policy adviser on his presidential campaign, issues of how to restore america's moral authority which is rooted not in military strength but the power of our ideas, we work the lot on this issue. i was proud of the work we did on promotion of democracy, expansion of some of the ideas i proposed in the broadcast. it is a multilayer book, has a layer of political fury, and american history and foreign policy and national security.

one of the agencies that he mentioned, the fbi, cyber is one of their top priorities. you'd do a little bit of cyber, you do something else, and you do it again. you cannot really understand this field of the sea stay in it. the developments are too fast to go away. it is true across the board. they have developed a career path where somebody comes in and they stay with it throughout their whole career. that is happening in the security field of government. we need to make the school for kids so that it is something that they -- it cool for kids so that it is something that they want to do. >> on workforce development and training, there could be professional encouragement of sisters scholarships. this has its own training. google has its own training. that is a place where we could come together and put more resources so that we are prepared for the future and we would not run into any of the controversies. >> gould does have training on this for our engineers. -- google does have trading on this for our engineers. we have this conversation and the waiting room. i fou

israel and crates marked oranges but decibels or fruits and they were putting arms in the crates and the fbi busted and hoover said let it go through. and looked the other way. we're not going to stop them. we know it is illegal but let them go through. >> i believe eleanor roosevelt was very sympathetic to the jews and even tried to influence franklin roosevelt. did she have any role in this era of with truman? >> she was a u.n. delegate and one of two or three delegates who were against what was going on in the u.n. is was described with the state department. i would say she did play a very important role and also was close to truman. he really did listen to her and was influenced by her. her position is if you want a new u.n. to succeed how can you turn against partition when that was what the world voted for? that was our position. >> on the other hand publicly she was supposed to be chairman, during this period that the state department is engineering a big conspiracy to destroy partition, freda put together a huge dinner, rally with prominent speakers to protest the efforts of the stat

intelligence committee and also my hands as they a proofreader for commerce justice and the funding for the fbi. we are in a tremendous risk coming into this country of counterfeit drugs and we know from a variety of sources including the mafia run over of exploiting yes. this is real and serious. i'm not showing any of the drug companies so i really have to insist on a certification from the secretary on a safety. i can only do as a matter of really good conscience. i wonder consumers to get the best deal. out of love for them to be able to imports inexpensive prices, but everything i know from both classified and unclassified briefing this i really would have enormous amount of anxiety over voting for this month as constructed. >> mr. chairman senator roberts can back out like to echo an associate with remarks by the distinguished senator from maryland. i was chairman when she was most helpful on the committee when this first came up. i don't think we are repeating anything classified here when we say we have a hot spot or we did have hotspot hearings and basically would focus on the threats

german citizen, and a suit against a private services, and then -- company, and a case on behalf of an fbi translator accused of misconduct. he was a clerk to the u.s. court of appeals. he is a graduate of harvard college. i have a fondness of the new york student -- school of law since my son is a student there. i welcome all of you. it is -- each of your statements will be made a part of the record. i would ask you to summarize your testimony in five minutes or less. before we begin, it is custom mini for committee to swear in their witnesses. do you swear under penalty of perjury the testimony you will give is correct to the best of your knowledge? let the record reflect that the witness's answer it in the affirmative. you may be seated. the first when this is the hon. judge. [unintelligible] could use the microphone, please? [unintelligible] >> i would like to make five brief points. the first is that the free was -- frequent use of the privilege to the night all relief to civil plaintiffs who have been injured by government action has become a matter of concern to lawyers and legal sc
