there are various ways to create fisk columns we here in the us like to create ours using a good wholesome front nonprofit organization. our two favorites are usa id and the national endowment for democracy and he did what is the any day well as editor of consorting news robert perry put it in one thousand nine hundred three and he took over the cia's role of influencing electoral outcomes because who has the time right and. these kids that got in the way of u.s. interests and also serves as a sort of slush fund for neo cons now i don't know about you but when i picture a neo con slush fund i picture like dick cheney mitch mcconnell and bill kristol naked in a small bath tub filled with vomit of all their victims. i mean i know it's gross but it's probably less gross than what a neo con slush fund really is. so we use anything and usa id to destabilize countries and keep in mind there are consequences to destabilizing countries you know we indirectly killing a lot of people a lot of people and poor destitute they end up with their lives or a lot of people at least lose their high scores on

secretary of russia's security council nicholai patricia fisk errantly meeting is american counterpart john bolton there in geneva or it comes at a time when relations between the two countries are especially fraught interesting meeting when our europe correspondent peter all of us look forward to it hi there significant meeting isn't it or can we expect from it hallo. right well they've been talking just behind me in the u.s. mission here in geneva for just over an hour right now would be keenly looking to see what comes out of that meeting that the groundwork for this get together was laid last month when presidents trump and putin met in helsinki however that meeting was really overshadowed by all of the the hysteria at the fact that they were meeting in the first place so these type of the things between national security advisers and the likes of mr partnership in his role as secretary of the security council in russia this is supposed to be where the the actual work gets done and people move forward on issues presidential meetings more often than not a handshake and a signature o

he was a graduate student then, fisk university, in chemistry. but we decided that we would give, just like the peace corps and vista volunteers, that we were going to take off from school now and spend two years giving our time as field secretaries. so when i went down to get my job and my assignment, james foreman, okay, who was our executive secretary then for sncc, said that what was needed more than anything else was somebody to go raise some money to get dion diamond out of jail in louisiana because they had put him in jail and would only accept $10,000 cash bond -- that was like $100,000 now, right? okay. and we always made a pledge to each other, you know, in the movement, nobody would suffer alone. so, either we would help get you out of jail or we would come and join you. so you didn't have to worry about, you know, being left alone. we were with you. so, i said, well, okay, if fund-raising is what you need, then i'll do it. they sent me to detroit, and when i was in detroit, john conyers was there and some others who helped raise money

news contributor, former cia station chief, chris swecker, former assistant fbi director, and roger fisk, former aide to secretary of state john kerry, and a democratic strategist. roger, i want to go to your first. i will give you the first shot at this. treason? do we really think this is treasonous to do these types of things? >> well, mr. brennan is perfectly capable of speaking for himself. i don't feel like i need to amplify or defend his point. >> jason: wait, can you defend his point are you a supportive of his point? he's making -- you know, the penalty for treasonous death. so you really believe that the president is being treasonous? >> again, mr. brennan can quantify this or classify it however he likes. it's up to him to speak for himself. i think what's really interesting is how many other folks that normally don't speak out publicly at all are willing to join into this conversation. i think people should take notice of that. >> jason: there really is a defense to go with that part. legally, the president can take away security clearance, right? is there any judge in the wo

robert fisk knows this very well that's happened with every great story he's reported then they i say great story because he's reporting it's been of the highest order since i've known and as with seymour have as with with people like gareth porter a great investigative reporter who you'll never see he's an american you'll never see it a so-called maiden's for you use maybe writes all of it but read his material about the wrong it's based on fact you mentioned iran how serious is this narrative not going to twist away but maybe while still remaining on syria but going to focus on some kind of imminent war on iran especially as we know john bolton is no national security advisor go chill go is it on the whole ball and this this and mike pompei of who's this secretary of state. it's hard to know who amongst them is the most extreme. but iran has been a major target much more so than syria much more so than iraq because iran was one of the pillows of western power american power in the middle east and when most a deck the democratically elected leader of iran was overthrown in in the nin

there is no question about it, and the federal fisk, in the case of debt., on trade issue there is a confidence based on president trump's success with tax and regulatory cuts that he is going to make a deal and bring these things down. i think on the debt side, people feel like a growing economy will solve a lot of problems. you look at the corporate, just the corporate rate cut part of the tax bill enacted in december. even the congressional budget office acknowledges that will pay for itself in increased revenue from a faster growing economy. connell: talk about the book for few minutes we have. it is called, "borrowed time" on set here with us. it is about citigroup. we know all the big banks, citigroup included were bailed out in '08. one of the things i wished i read it before of covering 08, which would be impossible it would be a shorter book but it goes back to the history of the bank, kind of instructive telling us how much connection between these big institutions especially citibank and city group and the government going back to the beginning o

at that time, president clinton was under investigation by independent counsel robert fiske in connection with the whitewater land deal. indeed, president clinton's own records were under grand jury subpoena. yet, the senate confirmed justice breyer by a vote of 87-9 during all of that. in fact, president clinton was under investigation for much of his presidency and was even impeached for committing perjury. obviously he wasn't convicted, but through all this, the senate didn't stop confirming his lifetime appointments to the bench. president trump is not even close to being in the same legal situation as president clinton, but obviously some people around here think he is. so my colleagues' plea to delay the hearing rings very false considering the precedent i just gave, and maybe historians can give you more precedent. so i want to tell you why. liberal outside groups and senate democratic leaders decided to oppose the president's supreme court nominee by any means necessary. they even said so. some even announced their opposition before judge kavanaugh was nominated. the minority lead
