all of this on the fbi reports. in 1956 the fbi goes on the offensive. with the creation of cpp usa. counter intelligence program, specifically designed to target the communist party. of the united states of america. it is specifically, counterintelligence rather than prosecutorial, so he's not to not trying to drum up evidence to go to court, but a counter intelligence operation to destroy a political enemy of the government. a couple of reasons, one legal proceedings against the communist party leaders, they have been very successful in sending numbers of persons to prison the laws are favorable to doing this at this period of time. it also explode soft fbi informants you had to go through in front of a judge. so they were revealed as part of the court hearings. and in 1956 and 57 the, court begins to roll back laws and illegal measures that will put in place against dissidents, and they had free rein to round up anybody who was member of a group who might espouse overthrowing the united states government. which the court terms was used loosely interpr

they all rely on fbi reports. in 1956, the fbi goes on the offensive. with the creation of coal intel pro, seep usa. a counter intelligence program, specifically designed to target the communist party of the united states of america. it is specifically counterintelligence rather than prosecutorial. they are not trying to dig up evidence to go before a court but instead it is a counter intelligence operation to destroy political enemies of the government. for a couple reasons, one, legal proceedings against communist party leaders have been very successful in sending a number of them to prison. the laws are very favorable for doing that in this period of time. but it had also exposed fbi informants, they had to go before a judge, reveal that information and so well-placed informants within reveals as part of the court hearings. hoover was knocking on that. and in 1956, 57, the court begins to roll back the legal measures that were available to attack political dissidence. laws have been put in place in late thirties in early forties. that had given kind

here's what the fbi says. with respect to the above letter, it is a fact that three leaders of the communist party were in hungry in february and march of 1968 to attend an international meeting of communist and worker parties and accounts of their schedule attendance appeared in newspaper articles. two of these three leaders have since returned to the united states, but it came up again about how his party is going to clean up the gangsters, has no basis in fact. a few typing errors would also be inserted into this letter. should the bureau approve this letter for anonymous mailing, it will be typed on commercial stationary. blah, blah, blah, and sent out. all a plot, right, to create dissent. i mean, the fbi knows what the sicilian mafia does if they believe someone is coming after them. the effort is to provoke the mafia to retaliate violently against members of the cpus arb. there's no evidence this actually works, by the way. it's not for lack of trying. cointelpro is also used to attack nonparty opponent

fbi to the progressive movement. it was very active at that period of time. the progressive movement says that the federal government must intervene to foster justice in an industrial society. that fostered that unrest and terrible working conditions and so forth. so the progressive movement inspires things like the fda, to ensure the food you're getting has labels and what you are eating is actually what you think you are eating. it will eventually lead to child labor laws, but it also creates this nationwide law enforcement body that is able to keep tabs on criminals throughout the country that did not exist prior to this time. the fbi's history explains the creation in the face of the rise of crime and corruption in politics and big business, all of it accompanying the turn of the century as well as national security concerns, particularly with regard to anarchism. as well as threats of war times. subversion and espionage that we talk about the other week when we talk about free speech. the fbi in 1939 makes its f

the fbi knew it. a 40 page memo but the fbi continued to lie to the court getting new warrants based on the dossier in april and june of 2017 after they knew it was a bunch of garbage, they continued to use it anyway. somebody needs to go to jail. maria: sew tell me about the criminality because if that subsource told the fbi agent this this is all bar talk, this is all hearsay, why did the fbi stop renewing warrants to spy on carter page? >> that is the central accusation i'm trying to find out. doing oversight. durham is doing a criminal investigation. here is what i can tell you that peter strzok new that the sub source was not reliable. in the notes that we declassified where strzok is commenting on the february 14th, "new york times" article he indicates in there that steele does not have insight into the reliability of the subsource. that tells me that struck strzok knew about the interview with the subsource that it is all bar talk and hear kay say. he has a duty to notify his superiors that a

steele was misleading the fbi but the fbi used christopher steele's information against trump anyway.> the russian was on christopher steele's payroll. he wasn't a contractor. but after you talk to the guy who put the memo together and you got a 40-page document explaining why it is not reliable, and you use it after that, you're really in trouble. i want that mem me out to the public so they can read it for themselves. i think we're days away from having it declassified, not weeks. here is my point. anybody that read that memo or was briefed about the memo and continued to use the dossier to get a warrant against carter page in april and june of 2017, they're in big-time trouble. elizabeth: okay. let's break it down with former california republican gubernatorial candidate john cox. john, i want to break this down. >> hey, liz. elizabeth: what is striking a number of things. it is good to see you. it was a russian source by christopher steele. this guy says steele is not reliable. it is 40 pages of details. it's a january 2017 fbi interview memo way before mueller was appointed. so t

he wanted the fbi to say he was hiding out in canada as opposed to southern california. very crafty smart gangster. >> always always thinking. should we take some questions? we only have a few minutes left. >> the first question could whitey bulger have lasted as long as he did without a certain part of the culture embracing and protecting him? >> he couldn't have and that was the frustration for the fbi agents that took over the case. they were beside themselves that every door they knocked on there was total silence in here was a guy accused of 19 murders including the murders of two women. the fact that whitey bulger invested in the community, always brought meals for needy families, with the community to protect him and they did. >> to illustrate that, whenever the fbi would show up or tried to interview one of the family members they would get a call back from whitey bulger's family attorney. they stonewalled the investigation. none of them would cooperate. >> the next question, did you speak to the tipster? a very distant place. >> did not get a chance to speak to

of the fbi just gone down there and that they were in an episode of true detective. it's that rural. it's that unusual and people can hide for years there, but once bulger was made he had to move on and catherine greg certainly was his accomplice and allowed him to crisscross the country like they did. >> one thing, bob, with teresa stanley i think one mistake that was made in the original manhunt before this new group of agents was brought into the case that ultimately tracked him was they went into interview stanley after she came home. had they done that sooner perhaps this flight from justice would have been cut dramatically if not stopped right there in grand island. charlie got that break in the case that casey described but the calgary didn't come. charlie was down in grand island and ready to make a move on bulger and he got pulled out of their here to there is a quantum-- a lot of questions about why that happened and we get into that and i think that's an interesting part of the story, the key to the early mistakes made was not really putting teresa stanley

we have a lot of information about that on the fbi website. >> how would they find their local fbi field office? mr. wray: it is pretty easy to find online. been aaid there has trend of increasing cooperation between different countries on this. one of the things that i found most encouraging in the middle of everything ice -- i finished talking about is the degree of alignment and consensus that seems to be growing between the u.s. and our foreign partners on this threat, on the severity of the threat, priority of the threat, the importance of working together to combat the threat. when i sit down with my foreign chinese threat is one of the first things they want to talk about, even when it would not necessarily be on my agenda. i see the same thing happening with the business community, academia and elsewhere. country wherehis , peopleeem so divisive cannot even agree what day of the week it is. , on thehinese threat priority of it and the need to come together to tackle the threat, i am seeing a level of alignment and consensus. , across the public and private sector, and as you that

we have a whole bunch of information about that thing on the american on the fbi -- on the fbi website. >> how would they find their local fbi field office? dir. wray: it's pretty easy to find online. 1 he said that -- >> you said that there has been a trend of increasing cooperation among other countries on this. can you talk about that? dir. wray: one thing i have found most encouraging in the middle of everything i just finished talking about is the degree of alignment and consensus that seems to be growing between the united states and our foreign partners on this threat. threat,everity of the the priority of the threat, in terms of working together to combat the threat. i find when i sit down with my foreign partners which i do all the time that this threat, the chinese threat is one of the first things they want to talk about even when it would not necessarily be on my agenda. happeningsame thing with the business community, with academia, both here in the u.s. and elsewhere. a communist, in country where things often seem so divisive it feels like sometimes people in this countr

scenes going on at the fbi.ow they knew in early 2017 that their information they were using to get fisa wiretaps to spy on the trump team, flawed and dubious. they went ahead any way. house republican guy rest enthaller, on house judiciary. he will talk about it next. did fbi officials commit perjury? republicans say yes. >> i will be shocked if somebody doesn't go to jail for defrauding the fisa court. here is what i think durham is looking at this. so what are you waiting for? dj khaled to be your motivational coach? yo devin! remember to brush in a circle motion. thank you... dj... khaled. tiny circles, devin. do another one. another one. is this good? put in that work, devin. don't give up. geico. save an extra 15% when you switch by october 7th. save an extra 15% when you switch find your get-up-and-go. find pants that aren't sweats. find your friends. find your sense of wander. find the world is new, again. at chevy we'd like to take you there. now during the chevy open road sales event, get up to 15% of

this source told the fbi he was surprised that steele gave the fbi thirdhand and secondhand rumor andke it was fact. and then the fbi used that information to get wiretaps. this person was not russian, again, steele was paying the source. and the source could not recall how steele got the information that he put into his dossier that the fbi used to wiretap the trump team. so this, steele's own source is undercutting to the fbi what steele was saying. your reaction? >> the reaction is that when they were going for renewals on these fisa applications, they should have hit the pause button, they should have stopped. we could have a whole discussion as to the to whether or not they should been able to get the fisa warrants in the first place against carter page. but as they continued to see the narrative get destroyed, the decision should be made through proper vet aring, there's something called the woods procedures. it's also important to be providing the fisa judges not just with the best information in favor of your application, but also the best information that you have against you

that he could glean from the fbi. that kept whitey bulger one step ahead of law enforcement. there's a huge winter nor'easter brewing, finds out all of his gang members and his partner in crime are about to get indicted. so he takes teresa and takes her for an odyssey that lasts for about a month and a half. teresa is on the run with her husband, so to speak, but she's got kids at home. she's got grandchildren at home. she's not cut out for the fugitive life, and there's a lot of anger and resentment during that time between the couple. teresa stilley was in fear for her life and it many times during that brief treatment where whitey bulger would be very violent towards her. finally whitey bulger says all right, you're not cut out for. i'm going to take you back to chelsea and i'll pick up my mistress, catherine greg to hiss being in love with me for 20 years now, and we will see how far this fugitive odyssey takes us. it took them 16 years. >> when whitey took off you can get an idea you would be gone for that length

and fbi new.again, the fbi was still doing surveillance on the trump team going into 2017 after the president took office. here is the second declassified document, former fbi official peter strzok disagreeing with the new york times article on vibrate 2017. the times was reporting that russian intelligence did have ties to the trump team but peter strzok said we have not seen evidence of that and unaware of any trump advisors engaging conversation with russian intelligence. but the fbi told the fisa court believes russian intelligence was working with trump team members and here's the other thing, is this perjury with the fisa court and who was leaking to the media that the russian intelligence was working with the trump team, who was leaking at? >> first off on the first question if there absolutely has been false statements that have been made throughout the entire process, we know many have said and been made publicly and hopefully this is part of durham's investigation and durham takes action

this russian source told the fbi way before the probe started that the fbi was being misled and it'steele. this russian source, remember, he is working for christopher steele, said he was giving unreliable information. he was misleading the fbi. using that information against trump anyway. let's listen to senator graham. >> he was not a contractor. after you talk to the guy that put the memo together and you got a 40 page document explaining and then you use it after that, you are really in trouble. i want that memo out to the public so they can use it themselves. we are days away from having it declassified, not weeks. here is my point, anyone that read that memo or was briefed about that memo and continue to use a dossier to get a warrant against carter page in april and june of 2017, they are in big time trouble. liz: okay. let's break it down with john cox. i want to break this down. it's good to see you. this guy says steel is not reliable. it is 40 pages of details. january 2017 memo. the fbi knew early on that this was hogwash. your reaction? >> think about the corruption. the

solving these murders. 800 --line number is one 800-call-fbi. federal law enforcement agencies will be committing fbi agent, dea, atf, u.s. marshals, and the department of homeland security, hsi teams. to date, we have sent over 200 federal agents kansas city. we are directing a comparable number of agents to augment chicago's existing taskforces and we are providing an additional 35 agents to albuquerque. forunited states attorneys chicago, albuquerque, and kansas city are here today. these u.s. attorneys and the chief federal law enforcement officials in each of these cities are ultimately responsible for coordinating the ensuringffort and prosecutions from this initiative are effective. linked to this increase in federal law enforcement agents, we are also providing additional financial assistance to the state and local enforcement agent to permit them to provide more cops, more members of our task force. worksaid, federal agents hand in glove with state and local enforce -- law enforcement every day. we supplement and provide support to loca

i mean, how dumb are these fbi agents, right?briefing, they're there under a different purpose. i mean, a defensive briefing tells you things like, look, here's how people might try to recruit you to be spieds. don't give -- spies. don't give your dog walker a key to your apartment. there are all sorts of things they show you and teach you on how to protect yourself and classified information. so in the middle of these briefings, they've got their own spy. so here they are supposedly telling the trump administration people here's how you've got to watch out for russian and chinese spies, and the whole time they were spying themselves, and then they were taking notes and putting notes in the file. these guys are caught, i mean, red handed. elizabeth: you know, kt, let's break it down. let's put it in the context of what else was going on in march 2016, peter strzok and lisa page text that trump loathsome, that hillary should win. august 8th, lisa page texts, trump's not ever going to be president, right in and strzok says, no, he'

by >> newly declassified fbi documents show the fbi leadership under james comey new by 2017 the fbi have any proof of collusion and the information they wereua using on the trump russia plot probe with the dossier his own sources say it was warmed over gossip and rumor the fbi enforcement was the head on this senator lindsey graham now says they should have stopped the probe in the tracks but they didn't they got the wiretaps of people like carter page great to see you congressman did they perjure themselves because the christopher steele own sources are telling the fbi we don't have the network of sources inside russia or the russian government this is a social circle of drinking buddies and warmed over gossip they had no sources whatsoever this is on his own payroll and contract worker. he's not a russian.. >> somebody would have to commit perjury during all of this because they knew after they interviewed steel source like they said was on his payroll and there was no corroborating evidence they took that information from that source and went to the fisa judges while at the same

the fbi does not and will not police ideology." that is coming from the fbi. should we hear something similar to that from the department of homeland security and other departments out on the streets now? guest: as you read that, i has been doing this for our whole lives. and they know, generally, what to emphasize, where to set the legal authority, what to promise not to do. and it is a better statement than we have heard from the department of homeland security. and a suggestion that may be if they let the fbi organize it in the first place, they would not have some of the problems that they have now. i would like to hear the same language out of the department of homeland security, but remember, we need them to behave professionally if they are going to be there. those are the questions that remain open. of thetouches on one things that i think they department of homeland security did not do well, which is when the press began asking why are you there, why did you send put out a timeline of everything. and 80% of the different items were, people spray-paint

so steals source told the fbi that information was putting into the fbi in rumor gossip but somehow hillarylinton opposition research made its way intopo the fbi and the fisa wiretap to spy on the trump team. your reaction to that. >> i cannot put any clearer than that, they didn't influence the american election and use the most terrifying power to our justice and intelligence agencies to spy on americans, invade their privacy, to threaten their families as they did with michael flynn, to take away their livelihoods, to take away their earnings, to take away their freedom. this is being employed for political purposes, if that is allowed to stand and no one is held accountable, we have taken eia giant leap from being a constitutional republic and becoming a banana republic. liz: congressman, great to see you, come backoo soon. >> thanks liz. liz: nancy pelosi now facing major blowback for calling the federal officers in a tweet, storm troopers top mob violence, 188 of the officers have been injured, speaker pelosi now trained to claim i did not say that but we have her tweets to say she di

so the fbi used this fake research to wiretap a political opponent but the fbi hid that from the court the country? when does this mean for u.s. attorney john durham's criminal probe? do we want to turn into east germany, where we turn our intelligence community as a nation of snitches that spy on political opponents? that is dangerous course for our country. >> that is a dangerous course of our country. number one question i'm asked by constituents in indjanna regular basis, how can no one be held accountable for the biggest political scandal in american history? using christopher steele's own words, that the fbi fell for it, it was designed to help hillary clinton she was right in the middle of it. others in the obama administration were involved in the scandal. no one is held accountable for it, that is the biggest shame for the last four years, since i've been in washington going on four years now. i still can't believe it, no one has ever been held accountable for any of this. hopefully what steele is telling the british courts now used as evidence in the american courts to hold t

fbi won that fight.he shockwaves from the sham dossier to take down the trump team still reverberating today. tom mcclintock from house judiciary breaks down that fight for us next. >> october 2016 they use the dossier to spy on carter page. salacious, unverified dossier, jim comey's words, not mine. they took it to the fisa court. didn't tell the courts that the clintons paid for it. didn't tell the court that the guy who wrote the document, christopher steele already communicated to the justice department that he was quote, desperate to stop trump from getting elected. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ some companies still have hr stuck between employeesentering data.a. changing data. more and more sensitive, personal data. and it doesn't just drag hr down. it drags the entire business down -- with inefficiency, errors and waste. it's ridiculous. so ridiculous. with paycom, employees enter and manage their own data in a single, easy to use software. visit paycom.com, a

this is a new mission for the fbi. long overdue.istic guy, but this isn't about my mood, this is about the intelligence of smart government, a whole-of-government approach. and i'm really tired of hearing these, you know, i mean, the fbi is a rancid organization still in part, top of that organization. it is. and the agents who were -- i mean, this is -- we are facing an incredible enemy in communist china, and we're doing so with a political party, the democrats, who would rather spend all of their time and energy and effort on attacking this president rather than dealing with what is in front of their face, the greatest global competitive threat, and perhaps more than that, by china. we've never seen anything like it. and we've got people walking around and parading nonsense in front of, in front of us saying they don't need anything, everything's fine. they're still acting like they're not stealing $60 billion a year! and trying to carry out every kind of surveillance and espionage in this country. jesus, we've got two carrier gr

who did you tell in the fbi.s impossible for me to believe mccabe and comey didn't know about this. the second document that was released, this comment by peter strzok february 15, 2017. there was not any evidence a member of the trump campaign was talking or working with the russians contrary to what the "new york times" article alleged. what did we learn from these two documents? the "new york times" is corrupt as hell when it came to reporting on trump. judge jeanine: i want to ask you something. the "wall street journal" talked about the fact that christopher wray is bringing in a new counsel, general counsel for the fbi, a guy by the name of i believe it's jaeson jones. the only reference in the "wall street journal" article is this is christopher wrays former partner from his old law firm. we had a source who says not only is this guy, christopher wray which i always thought was in the deep state, that this guy they are bringing in is a partner with rod rosenstein in the firm of king and spaulding. and rod

somehow it got into the fbi and the fbi used it. so who do you think should testify?think all of these actors, names you heard, strzok, comey, all the individuals should come in and testify. unfortunately in the house it is run by the democrats. they will never bring those individuals in to be held accountable for some of these things. that is why we're relying on the durham probe and durham investigation to get the to bottom of all this miscarriage of justice and fbi. i hope people that did commit crimes do get charged f they don't get charged, what will say this doesn't happen again? elizabeth: congressman, thank you so much, we'll be right back after the break. stay right there. ♪. elizabeth: social media now lighting up against the media and democrats like joe biden and jerry nadler downplaying the violence in u.s. cities saying there is nothing peaceful or mythical about rioters firing commercial grade fireworks and using power tools and more to attack officers in trying to set federal buildings on fire with people inside. watch democrat jerry nadler downplay the

in december 2017, flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi. statement at the time, flynn acknowledged that his actions, quote, were wrong, and through my faith in god i am working to set things right. he said, quote, my guilty plea, an agreement to cooperate with the special counsel's office, reflect a decision i made in the best interests of my family and of our country. i accept full responsibility for my actions. but the case took a turn in january of this year, after flynn, facing possible jail time, told the court that he wanted to walk back his guilty plea. he now says he's innocent and alleges government, quote, vindictiveness and breach of the plea agreement. in february of this year, justice department prosecutors doubled down and asked federal judge em it sullivan to deny flynn's plea change request. they appeared to waver on seeking a prison sentence. come march, trump floated the idea of a presidential pardon saying, quote, i am strongly considering a full pardon. in april, the president went after the fbi investigators. >> these w

mcenany: the fbi concluded this was not a hate crime. he believes it goes a long way if bubba came out and acknowledged that as well. >> why? why ask mr. wallace? ms. mcenany: this is where the president comes from and where the president stands. he actually hinted at this in his july 4 speech. to those in the media who falsely and consistently label their opponents as racists, who offered clear and truthful defense of american unity, we want a clear an defense. when you level false charges, you slander me and the american people. he believes the american people are good. the allegations and rush to judgment with jussie smollett in the bubba wallace case and with the covington catholic boys, we should not be so quick to jump. those are just three examples. >> it was proven by investigation that someone else initiated. >> the governor of south dakota flew back on air force one after having contact with somebody who had tested positive with the virus. why was that allowed to happen? did he have contact with the -- did she have contact with

>> he is still with the fbi, as i understand it. learned he was in san francisco, they moved him somewhere else. so he has been well protected by the fbi. lou: should wray be indicted for covering all of this up? i mean, a what is he doing? >> i wish i knew -- lou: if this isn't a cofferup, this is beyond stonewalling. >> oh, it's beyond stonewalling. we still don't have the original 302 in the flynn case or the one that was added after that. and we know it was materially altered to include things he did not say that they then based onlines of the false statement prosecution on. the fbi made up the entire case against general flynn. there was nothing there. it's just -- lou: i've got to share -- >> appalling. lou: i've got to share with you jonathan turley's comments, and i know that as a lawyer you and jonathan turley, i'm sure, respect each other mightily. here is what turley wrote today, and i would like to put that up on the careen if we could very -- on the screen if we could very quickly. more willful blindness by the media on

who does the fbi send?eter struck, kevin kleinsmith, the lawyer that literally changed evidence and joe who should not have been there in the first place. they were not trying to warn the trump campaign, they were trying to ensnare michael flynn. the documents released today, they are labeling that meeting as part of the crossfire razor investigation which was the flynn investigation. they should have been there to protect the president from any russia interference. instead they were there to frame the president and try to put pressure on michael flynn. that is what we've been talking about for years now. even more evidence that it is the case. >> congratulations to john radcliffe or declassified the content and pushing this information into the public arena. we are, everyone is anticipating that there will be charges against those that conspired to overthrow this president. this is outrageous. this is a historic level. it boggles the mind to think that academia, our scholars are not involved in this at all

here's what the fbi said at the time. if any person being interviewed after warning of council decides to consult with council to proceed for other, the interview was terminated. the fbi does not pass judgment on the ability a person to pay for council and gives the warning. the other thing, the best way to understand the miranda decision itself, go to the national constitution center is phenomenal interactive constitution and you can see paul cassel and kate stiff. a beautiful common statement about what miranda means. constitution center dot oregon, and i have to do the plug now because it's so cool. you can read the fifth amendment on the side -- let me put under my camera right here. you can read the fifth amendment in all of its beauty, and you can see this common statement where professors paul cassel and stiff, talk about what everyone agrees, the text, the history, i think it's so very inspiring that you have different inspective's are able to come up with this common statements and separate statements about what

that is the cover-up by the existing fbi director christopher wray. and the other part of this equation is that the documents today, they are exculpatory. they tend to prove trump innocence. and yet i'm of the fbi and christopher wray have concealed these documents along with the intel community for the better part of four years. it is unconscionable. and it is a cover-up. >> sean: we had a little problem earlier. this is comey denying that which we now know is true. this guy said the holier-than-thou mr. higher honor is so full of [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] i can't even say it. i wish i could but i would have to deal with the fallout after. here is what he said. >> was the fbi able to confirm any b criminal allegations contained in this steele document? >> mr. chairman, that is not a question i can answer in an opee setting because it goes into the details of the investigation. >> i want first to ask you about your conversations with thequ president mother three conversations in which you told him that he was not under investigation. the first was durin
