now, the fbi wanted a confession.and they had leverage-- they knew his history of mental problems, and in his basement, they had discovered his darkest personal secrets. >> what we did find were kind of some unusual things, like he was conducting a shooting range in his basement. he had numerous stun guns and things like that. >> there's women's underwear found. there's guns found. there's all kinds of strange stuff. there's lyrics dedicated to christa mcauliffe, the astronaut who died on the space shuttle. so all kinds of strange little stuff. >> narrator: they called ivins to washington for a formal interview. >> i think that he was nervous. understandably, i think anybody, when they're brought into a room full of fbi agents and prosecutors-- it's not the most comfortable experience. >> he wanted to help them because he thought, by helping them, it could bring this misery to an end. and he was convinced that they wanted to do the right thing. i was not. >> narrator: they began by digging into ivins' interest in kapp

fbi. i know many of them, not all by any means, but i know they do better work every day to keep us safe and the director, please give accomplice to the men and women of the fbi. >> thank you, mr. chair move for this very important, and i want to inform you that i wasn't supposed to be here until 1030 thymic because us because us posted on the floor. when i got over there they said it wouldn't start 10:25 pics i had to come back and get my statement and then i'll go back over there and i'll come back for questions. >> in fact if i buy, i told the director when the first votes start, i will stay until almost the end of it and go over, keep hearing going. the senators can go over and vote, and come back, and we will keep it. >> obviously, mr. mueller, and you know there's questions i want to ask you. it's been five months since congress passed an president obama signed into law an unprecedented two-year extension of director mueller's term as director of fbi, given the historical problems wi

i mean, that's where you wanted to be if you were an fbi agent. so it's only natural that john o'neill, who's-- you know, his whole life was the fbi, from what i could see-- would want to be in new york. >> narrator: in the new york office, they were still piecing together the evidence in the 1993 world trade center bombing. they'd also had new information that bin laden had been involved in the shooting down of two american black hawk helicopters in somalia. the confession of captured al qaeda member jamal ahmed al fadl told of osama bin laden's efforts to develop chemical weapons, buy weapons-grade uranium, and to spread the al qaeda network into europe. o'neill was becoming obsessed, haunted by the specter of bin laden. >> my dad had a lot of video of osama bin laden. whatever was out there was actually in his apartment. he studied him several times. watched the videos, i know, several times. >> he would watch videotapes. he would read whatever material he could get his hands on. we had a fax in the house. people would fax him information all t

we in the fbi cannot merely react to computer intrusions. hackers will seek to exploit every vulnerability, and we must be able to anticipate their moves. i share one example which he appeared in april, the fbi brought down an international network of fibers-infected computers controlled remotely by an attacker. the bureau took control of 5 servers the hackers had used to effect some 200 computers with malware, which allowed them to steal personal and financial information by recording user keystrokes. we not only shut down the servers, we took another unprecedented step. with court approval, the fbi responded to signals sent from infected computers in the united states. we sent those computers a command that stopped teh malw -- stopped the malware. you will see the surveying today's threats is somewhat like peering into a kaleidoscope with even the slightest rotation presents new patterns of color and light and just when it seems you understand a threat, the world turns and the threat has changed. as tom friedman has described in his book,

if the fbi did not address the priorities, they often would not be addressed. transnational, international organized crime because organized crime cuts across various jurisdictions and became the third criminal priority. white collar crime. that is number four. five was violent crime. you will see left off that list are a number of things, including the drug cases we have traditionally done previously. but when we say priority, we meant priority. you have to address priorities in order. i moved almost 2000 agents from the criminal programs to counter terrorism and national security because that was the priority. we have, since september 11, then run according to a set of priorities that we continuously review, but precludes us from doing things we have traditionally done, we all enjoyed doing, but is not as necessary as the priorities we have identified, and we were fairly rigorous when it comes to budget, when it comes to personnel. we adhere to those priorities. in a tighter budget, those are the things that save you because you go down the priorities and are

i would note that the fbi is in a very interesting position in our government. it is undoubtedly an executive agency in article two of the constitution. on the other hand, it is designed to be somewhat insulated from day-to-day interference from people engaged in the political affairs of the nation. how would you describe the relationship or what you would say is the ideal relationship between the president and an agency like the fbi? >> it is an interesting question. i would say that one of the great things about my job is i have to be aggressively apolitical, which is wonderful. as an agency, we need to trust the american people in the work that we do an understanding that whatever we do in terms of investigations, whatever we do as the bureau is done without regard to party or politics or what have you, that we are independent. it was somewhat easier prior to september 11 where you had a criminal cases on the one hand and national security was something that was handled elsewhere by the cia, duty, and state department -- the cia, dod, and state department her

what is the fbi or our security doing to prevent something like that from happening again? >> regrettably i think our national policy response to the attack has exponentially grown the threat of another insider with his or her unique position in the knowledge and access to resources to do something affordable that creates panic in this country and kills people. so that's a reality out there. i think it is also true that law enforcement and the fbi in particular is better positioned to investigate these crimes i wouldn't say they are better positioned to prevent them, but the fbi now has a lot more scientific power in the house than existed in the fall of 2001. i think there were to microbiologists in 2001 but that's changed dramatically. >> dui with bruce had a close personal relationships with the high-profile government >> about to my knowledge. i know that he was a real student of what was in the newspapers every day, he was always sort of latching onto the big stories of the day. he wrote scores of letters to leave the newspapers but to members of congress and was very

gaona knows about the cartels and he is cooperating with the fbi. feeding the fbi information. that's the scenario? >> that's the scenario. when i asked, here is a man who sexually assaulted was arrested for sexually assaulting his estranged wife. is he in jail. you know, is he a violent offender at this point. you know, why would he be released back out into the streets and, according to the federal law enforcement officials that i spoke to they said there was no evidence because those charges were dropped. there was no evidence that he would commit this act of violence. they did say that they regretted this decision and this case is now under review at the fbi, the d.e.a. and ice. sure it is more than that the the charges weren't dropped when they let him out. they let him go. do whatever he wants. nobody watching them. you have got to report in every day or you have to do this or do that. the guy has got a gun. the guy armed. >> and an innocent man lost his life because of this. this is the strategy. this is not just an anomaly. we see things like this happening off and on w

the fbi laboratory engaged. and escambia performed the most far-reaching analysis of the material that has been done today and conclusively established that material was not treated within the chemical. >> other questions? >> was there a final piece of evidence that allowed them to catch him or was it just a buildup of things? >> as he said in his introduction of rest some the conventional law enforcement evidence and then cutting edge scientist a lot of cutting its work with so those two things march. the fbi determined the material used in the attacks came from this one that he will on march 10th, 2019. he was to read it was provided to one other research facility in the west the fbi through the forces was to check out the potential ally of any and all people who have access and the narrow down to a group of slightly more than 40 people who had only access to the expertise to do something with it and bruce who was the only one who didn't have an alibi was the only one working for these extraordinary hours in t

i wouldn't say he are better positioned to necessary prevent them, but the fbi, dr. adams can attest, now has a lot more scientific firepower in house than existed in the fall of 2001. i think there were two microbiologists employed by the fbi in the fall 2001, and that has changed dramatically. >> do you know if bruce had any close personal relationships with any high profile government officials? >> not to my knowledge. i know that he was a real student of what was the newspapers every day. he was always sort of latching onto the big story of the day. he wrote scores of letters do not our newspapers but to members of congress, and was very animated and agitated about any number of issues. sometimes you have to wonder if you're to believe it. he wrote one letter to the frederick news post that appear to defend the civil rights of the national man boy love association. this provoked a dozen or more frothing, angry letters. then after this brushfire had been lit, bruce ivins came back in with another letter and said welcome everybody must have misunderstood i wasn't t

part of my fbi early warning system. on september 28, 1992, walking into the office early, i've put in the code and keep hearing this be, what did they do? change the code? as our walked into my office the beating is getting louder and it is coming from the office and someone has a tracking device in my office. i go to my computer and is actually -- detected an fbi cellphone within the area two hours ago. i figured out the fbi did not come to arrest me. they came to search my apartment. i wanted to help the mouth so i bought a big box after cleaning my apartment out, making sure there is nothing interesting. i got a big box and put fbi doughnuts on the box and put them in the refrigerator and they came to search and got irritated when they found a box but i was in this insane cat and mouse game with the federal government. eventually as always the fbi always get their man. i was arrested in 1995. they threw the book at me. i went through a long process dealing with the federal government. finally settled the case. three

the fbi was aware. they had been monitoring and for whatever reason, the monitoring was pulled back or something was allowed to happen unintentionally. rather than go through an embarrassing case and prosecution, it was deferred to the state. i find it very unusual in a case where you as someone who was trained overseas, sent back here, carrying out a political jihad is murder is not treated as a terrorist. can you tell us what you have learned from your investigation as to why this was not prosecuted by the federal government as a terrorist of fans? >> i really can't tell you why. rational people could not tell you what. we looked at what happened to my son. they said he just does not read a purple heart. muhammed as many entries on the internet. this is what i submitted to the secretary of the army. it was to get the army to go through the regulation mentioned in here that comes from army regulations. go down to paragraph 8 and it says in the case of international terrorism that the secretary of the a

another item is the real story of how the fbi saw the spy robert hansen who was the fbi agent which is quite different from the movie, the real story. there are a lot of secrets about marilyn monroe, about vince foster, and even the killing of osama bin laden because the fbi was actually involved in that. >> well you obviously have a lot of inside sources. do you get rashard in any way to reveal those sources? >> do i get what? >> pressure to reveal those sources? >> no why don't people ask me how do i get them to talk? usually i will waterboard them. that works pretty well but after a while you develop some trust. they feel that i will tell in on a story but at the same time if there is something negative, i will report that. for example one of my books, the dismissal of william sessions as fbi director over his abuses and this book takes louis freeh to task and says he was even worse than sessions for the same time when the fbi does something right. for example that is why we have not been attacked since 9/11. the fbi every few months and worlds of terrorist. it's a meth that the fbi

so we took this tape to the fbi to have it enhanced. was enhanced, we provided that to the media. very shortly afterwards a woman came forward and said, that's my tattoo. that's me. >> that tattoo i have is unique. nobody else has it. >> kelly van cleve was a 25-year-old childcare worker who knew ray's daughter, jessi, but she had no recollections of ever going to ray's house and no idea why the fbi had a picture of her tattoo. >> they told me that it came off of a video they found in david's house. "toy box" as they called it. it was weird. and i was scared. >> initially, it was clear that she was having difficulty remembering everything that had happened to her in the utility trailer and in her experience with david. >> before the fbi contacted me, i used to have nightmares of being tied to a table or handcuffs, or duct tape scared me. but i could never put any of it together. then when the fbi called, then i knew they weren't just dreams, nightmares. they were real. >> kelly was struggling to remember what ray had done to her. but th

so, the fbi goes in. it's a federal investigation. congressman leo ryan is the first congressman killed in the line of duty in u.s. history. the fbi goes into jonestown after they clear the body and they just are collecting documents as evidence, trying to figure out what the happened. with their conspiracy to kill the congressman? and they go through, literally, picking from letters never sent home, diaries, beating us. they collect 50,000 pieces of paper. and that would be like -- i don't know, i figured 150, 300 page novels are you so that's basically the material i was working on it. and a lot of it when i started working with the base, have labored to it, couldn't read anything. and then as i was about to turn the book in, they released a redacted versions of the document. so i took another six months to read through and i can finally see who is doing what, who was ordering cyanide, who is planning to kill everyone. so that was kind of interesting. so i'm going to just read here -- well first, i guess i should assign the structur

another is how the story of the fbi robert hansen who was the fbi agent is different than what you see in the movie grease. it is a real story but there are a lot of secrets about marilyn monroe, vince foster and even the killing of osama bin laden because the fbi was actively involved in that. >> you obviously have a love inside sources. you get pressured in any way to reveal those sources? pressure to reveal the sources? >> guest: the light of and people ask me how do i get them to talk. usually on water board then. that works pretty well. but after awhile you develop some trust and they feel i will tell on the story but at the same time if there is something - i will report that. for example, one of my books what's the dismissal of the fbi director over his abuses and this book takes even worse in the same time when the fbi does something i say that for example that's why we have not been attacked since 9/11. every few months they say it is a myth that the fbi cannot function as the intelligence agency that develops and leads to the future that is now the main priority of the fbi. >
