the neville criminal investigative service and federal bureau of investigation led a joint investigationxperience working on the investigation and how their findings

investigations into the hillary clinton side of the coin and also the f.b.i. itself peter struck mccabe and the sort of conspiracy that was going on within the federal bureau of investigation which i think is connected directly to the between the case as well so it as we have this kind of malfeasance in the f.b.i. with regards to trial prussia collusion i think you're going to find that some of the same methods or mistakes or. this has been carried out at the expense of maria bettina as well patrick henningsen of the twenty first century wired dot com news site thank you for joining us on the program. the u.k. and germany have praised china's plan for a massive global trading network known as the belt and road initiative a forum for which is currently underway in beijing their leaders from your asian countries and further afield have gathered to share their views on how to develop economic cooperation reporting from beijing hears interest on the. well i have to say it is more than just a forum more than just a place for people to meet to talk and sign documents no it is a statement by beijing and those countries and representatives of international bodies and

high schools shopping malls and even at once called in a threat a fake threat to the federal bureau of investigation and a seventeen year old from ohio is facing one hundred forty counts of delinquency including misdemeanors and felonies for a series of nine one one swatting calls that resulted in one case where a swat team reportedly shut down a major highway for hours. but here's my question when did swat teams become so incompetent they are supposed to literally there was a time when swat teams were highly trained to handle a hostage situation where a highly trained who knew not to just run in that's why you waited and called the row what happened to our so i thought about. what i was certainly or at the start of the show was like we have. the question are police tactics if they're so aggressive the you know some nineteen year old kid who is angry at another twenty year old kid on the other side of the country you know says when to get a moment to some the police through his doorstep and it works you know thankfully this is up in a lot of times thankfully and tragically there's only been one inst

context and look at what they say it sounds like the head of counterintelligence for the federal bureau of investigationying to develop sources within the trump administration and that is highly suspicious. coordinating based on the other texts, the animus and bias they brought to this makes it highly suspicious and that is why you have these two senators going after. shannon: the us attorney, the doj inspector general and the president said this about why he didn't declassify everything. years what he said. >> everything is going to be declassify as much more than what you just mentioned. it will all be declassified and i'm glad i waited because i thought maybe they would obstruct. shannon: what do you think that means, to people who know the back story on these things, to know the president says not only the stuff you think you know about but i'm declassify all kinds of stuff? >> we need to put this in context. a fisa warrant is a big deal and if there is actual infiltration, trying to get sources within that, that is a big deal. it is within the president's purview as to what he sees fit to declassif

if the federal bureau of investigation to recover its reputation but i -- upper echelon, the first item on attorney general barr's agenda to make good on something, that set off a frenzy to propose last week. and the county of the fbi's buying committee asked with a spite on trump. they did. many times, many ways and that attorney general has a vow to establish team, to investigate the federal government spying on the campaign, great article by andrew mccarthy to join us in a few minutes detailing some of potentially illicit surveillance rating less than a year ago thea administration with a controversial -- to approach ths waiting to the 2016 election, trying to find proof that campaign complicit in the criminal ones hacking of democrats email. andy mccarthy to carter page, papadopoulos and sam approach by the name of stephan help her. only the tip of the iceberg. the trump carter page also electronically surveilled and by the way can someone teach call me what that means after james comey signed off on that application. the bulk of the application from, and verifiable and cooperated d

u bbut i think the cia has to gt involved, the federal bureau of investigation has to be involved inhem stop this. much as we did in colombia, very successfully with the ger ril will movement, the instability y in there. much more we can do with mexico and they can do themselves. liz: do you approve troops at the border. >> i always have from the beginning. i know that puts me at odds with some of my military peers but i believe there's a national security and sovereignty issue at the border and it's appropriate for the department of homeland security, who is overwhelmed, to ask for additional resources to help them. it's something that we've done in the historical past when we have a unique problem we're facing right now. it's a modest commitment by anybody's definition of a force that comes close to 2 million people in terms of what we're putting at the border and a $700 billion operating budget. so yes, if they feel they need those people to help them in the capacity that they're going to provide, transportation et cetera to do that, won't be involved in law enforcement, i do thin

we are honored this morning to welcome christopher wray, the director of the federal bureau of investigation. he will discuss the fbi's role in today's world. director ray leads the nearly fbi,0 men and women of the and i just want to take a second to thank him and all of his colleagues for what they do for this country. timing is a lot in life, and the timing could hardly be better for us. the director may feel , given all that has his purview. he first served as a district attorney for the northern district of georgia. ofn he joined the office deputy attorney general urinary nations capital. was nominated by 43 to serve as the assistant attorney general for the department of justice, criminal division, where he spent several years. glad i did not know you at that time. and then he returned to the government recently in august of 2017, when he was confirmed overwhelmingly by the senate to become the eighth director of the fbi. the director will first offer some remarks from this podium, and then he and i will have a conversation before turning to you, the membership, for questions. with tha

possession that relate to 36 different things beginning with statements by michael flynn to be federal bureau of investigation regarding contacts with sergey kislyak to the termination of james comey to the termination whether contemplated or actual of special counsel robert mueller to presidential pardons whether possible or actual for paul manafort, michael flynn, michael cohen, rick gates, roger stone, individuals associated with the trump campaign or individuals involved in matters before the u.s. attorney's office for the southern district of new york. this is exactly the same subpoena that don mcgahn would be receiving tonight if house judiciary chairman jerry nadler announced today that he evers beginning impeachment hearings. and so it appears that the house judiciary committee is beginning an investigation that looks exactly like an impeachment investigation but is not called an impeachment investigation but could easily switch into official impeachment mode at any moment. house speaker nancy pelosi has been publicly and privately trying to push democrats away from impeachment talk for over a year an

no one thinks it's appropriate to contact the federal bureau of investigation or other law enforcements. >> thank you for coming on the program today. appreciate it. >>> right now, protesters are rallying at the u.s. supreme court. justices just wrapping up arguments on the most controversial case this term. a battle over the trump administration's plan to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census. pete williams is outside the supreme court. tell us about this case. >> reporter: it's controversial because the constitution says the government, the census bureau has to count the population every ten years. that's how the government figures out how many seats each state gets in congress. by the way, it also is used to figure out how much money states get, things like highway construction, aid for poor people. that's why this is a big deal. now what the government has argued here, it wants to add a question about citizenship to the census form. here's the trick. both sides of this case, both the government and the states that are opposing it agree that adding that question will actuall

"the federal bureau of investigation is to recover its lost reputation -- by the way, i don't agree with that. not rank-and-file, upper echelon -- the first item on attorney general bill barr's agenda must be to make good on something that set off a frenzy when he proposed it last week. an honest accounting of the fbi spying." yes, they spied on drum. they did. many times. many ways. the attorney general has already vowed to establishim a team, thankfully, to investigate our federal government spying on the trump campaign. great article today by andrew mccarthy. he'll join us in a few minutes detailing some of this potentially illicit surveillanc surveillance, writing, "less than a year ago, we learned the obama administration had used a confidential informant just by coming to approach at least three trump campaign officials in the months leading up to the 2016 election, straining to find proof that the campaign was complicit in the kremlin's hacking of democratic emails." of course, andy mccarthy is referring to carter page, george papadopoulos, and sam clovis, who were all approached

>> no the director of the federal bureau of investigation. the standards aren't different, number one. and number two -- >> maybe they were both being -- >> you talk about sculpted answers as if the president of the united states wasn't involved in the process of determining -- >> doesn't sound like him. >> excuse me. >> doesn't sound like him. >> i read those answers today. they're good. they're strategic. they're good. >> he's pretty strategic. this president of the united states, very strategic. very smart. so these answers were honest answers. the fact of the matter is when you're in a situation like this you respond appropriately. this whole issue about what we put in our letter which was not included in the report. they had the answer but didn't have our letter. we can talk about that another time. >> i want to ask you one other thing and then you can smack me around the way rudy did. >> i didn't think i was going to have anything left to say. >> i didn't touch obstruction with him. i wanted to leave it for us. he just wants to say that

and we're honored this morning to welcome christopher wray who's the director of the federal bureau of investigation. he's going to be here to discuss the fbi's role in today's world. director wray leads the nearly 37,000 men and women of the fbi, and i just want to take a second to thank him and all of his colleagues for what they do for this country. timing is a lot for us, and the timing could hardly be better for us. the director may feel differently. given all that's going on that falls under his and the bureau's purview. he's had a distinguished career. first served as the u.s. district attorney for the district of georgia from '97 to 2001. then he joined the office of our deputy attorney general. he was nominated to serve as the assistant attorney general of the criminal division where he spent several years. glad i didn't know that you at that time. and then he returned to the government recent lay in august of 2017 when he was confirmed overwhelmingly by the senate to become the eight director of the fbi. here's how we're going to do it today. the director will first offer some remarks from

whom he communicated and anyone with whom they communicated were being monitored by the federal bureau of investigation and the national security agency. the great unmasking had also begun with unprecedented numbers of requests forwarded from obama administration officials to the n.s.a. to reveal the identities of american citizens otherwise protected in their reporting and transcribing of intercepts of foreign official communications. distribution regulations were relaxed to allow wider access to these n.s.a. intercepts and the word went out through the halls of government agencies to get verything into the system lest these barbarians coming into office destroy evidence and deny their roles as russian agents. it was inevitable that david at the "washington post" would publish a column on january 12 describing flynn's december 29 phone calls with the russians, information he attributed to quote a senior u.s. official. thusly.mn began something is rotten in the state of denmark. mad spirits haunt the castle in he first act of shake peer's "hamlet." after this week's leaks of plots and indignant den wil

context literally what they say it sounds as if the head of counterintelligence for the federal bureau of investigationsactually trying to develop sources within the trump administration that is highly suspicious and coordinating -- remember the other text in the animus in the bias that they brought to this. it makes it highly suspicious. steve: the senators want answers from the attorney general. they, the attorney general at the department of justice are going to look into what happened? remember this started on barack obama's watch of the department of justice. last night sean hannity was talking to donald trump. they were talking about this. he did say he was going to make sure that they declassified the carter page fisa stuff and other documents so people could see it couldn't do it before because people would say you are obstructing justice. enough to he is going after them. listen how he depicts this kind of passage and what was going on behind the scenes in washington. >> this was a coup. this was an attempted overthrow of the united states government. we had people coming out to vote from all o

of bureau is it could be a federal case. saz you heard him say, he asked for the fbi to respond. >>> throughout the day, investigators were combing through isaiah people's apartment not far from the crash site in sunnyvale. the investigators walking away with boxes and bags filled with possible clues as to why he would do this. his neighbors are also asking that very question. why? nbc bay area's terry mcsweeney is in sunnyvale with that part of the story. terry. >> reporter: neighbors say that police arrived here shortly after 8:00 this morning and they stayed for six hours bringing out boxes and bags of items from the suspect's apartment and they got away with quite a lot. take a look at video that we have. the officers doing their job. again six hours worth of bringing boxes and through the apartment. loading up their vehicles and moving on out. even neighbors who live next to the suspect say they didn't know much about him. one neighbor did say he didn't know the suspect but he did remember the suspect's car that he saw in the parking area and how it was filled with clutter. >> odds and ends, like -- just like you kind of dum

investigation. one paul manafort. he's now officially a federal prisoner. we learned today he'll do his seven plus years at the federal potentiary. that's at canaan township, pennsylvania. the bureau of prisons says he was transferred late last week. his expected release date would be christmas day of the year 2024. time now for our leadoff discussion on a tuesday night. the aforementioned robert costai national political reporter for "the washington post," moderator of "washington week" on pbs. maya wily, former assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york, now with the new school here in new york. and david jolly, a former membe. of the republican party as a member of congress from the ep state of florida. he has since left the gop. welcome to you all.t robert, i'd like to begin with you. you were doing what reporters do, working on a separate story, and i have my guesses as to what that was, dialing for dollars, looking for quotes and confirmation. you called the white house and asked to talk to the boss. he gets on the phone and after you dispense with the topic in chief, you get him going on some other topics. >> that's correct. president trump weighed in on a t

so this memo has had the effect of undermining allstate investigations into shady practices, as well as federal investigations by the consumer financial protection bureau into loan servicers. brazenly for the department to not even publicly notice the memo, it was obtained only because someone at the department leaked it. i wants to ask, given the fact that state law enforcement had a spectacular record of success in terms of getting restitution for student borrowers, who, again, had their funds misappropriated, shutting down deceptive practices, and again, as the new york ag, minnesota ag, illinois ag, connecticut ag, they've all been doing this work collaboratively with the federal government, that's the rational for the department to shut off that flow of information regarding student loan servicers, which has been standard operating procedures for decades? >> congressman-- >> i asked you a question and we don't have much time, explain the decision you made to shut off this information to people who are law enforcement. they're investigating things like fraud-- i mean, so please explain that decision and that memo. >> i will be happy to, but i want
