ig. according to ms. kenna, the documents were only sent to the oig after ambassador card had taken over the ig's office. we presume the oig's work on this matter is ongoing so we don't know all the details. press reports have also alleged that secretary and mrs. pompeo use government employees to handle personal errands. mr. -- ms. tony porter, an adviser to the secretary, told us in an interview that the secretary and mrs. pompeo, who is not a state department employee, would often have ms. porter work on matters of special interest to the secretary which apparently included making dinner reservations and helping with the pompeo's personal christmas cards. reporting in the press earlier this week disclosed emale traffic involving mrs. pompeo and ms. porter and ms. kenna suggesting they both understood an assignment to ms. porter to be of a personal nature that worked to keep a tight circle of government employees who worked on these matters. the committee has learned there have been a l

ige: good morning. welcome everyone here and across the nation and the world to the uss missouri. day, 75 years ago, we marked the end of a great global war that touched every man, and child of my parents generation, leaving a vacuum in the worlds of those who could have been and should have been our scientists, teachers, community leaders, farmers, and shop keepers. they should have been our classmates, our neighbors, and our coworkers. they were our sons and daughters, our brothers and sisters, and our fathers and mothers. price, came at a high paid by those who suffered and died on the front lines, as well as by those who endured higher -- hardship and uncertainty on the home front. by an abiding belief in freedom and democracy and by the strength of character, thatge, and resilience defied all odds. it was won by a generation defined as the greatest, not only by what they achieved in war, but by the peace and prosperity they created after. hope in the is the world order they passed on to all of us.

last month the ig issued another report on nasa's use of nonagency i.t. devices and found that nasa is not adequately securing its networks from unauthorized access by i.t. devices, unquote. the nasa ig is currently tracking 25 open recommendations for the office of the chief information officer. these do not include i.t. and cybersecurity recommendations to mission director ates or other organizations in the nasa enterprise. while they may steam startling, there are specific reasons that many of the recommendations remain open. for instance, agency wide guidelines and best practices are often general rules and principles that are not optimized to specific agencies unique capabilities, expertise and challenges. for instance, nasa is the world leader in designing building, operating, and communicating with spacecraft. this expertise resides with mission director ates and senators that cultivated over many decades. in some instances they actually developed the software information systems and underlying technologies that industry and the rest of the governm

and you can read the ig report and the mueller report -- >> let's talk about that ig report, as a matter of fact. i think it's interesting because when the ig report really contradicted your statements, you claimed that the fbi did not spy on the trump campaign in 2017. and the ig report contradicted you on that. >> is that a question? >> yes, sir. what do you have to say about that? >> i'm not aware that there's a contradiction on that point in the ig report. >> okay. you're not aware of that. all right. i assume that you're aware of the article that was posted to "the washington post" under your by line may 28th, 2019, james comey, no treason, no coup, just lies and dumb lies. you recall that article? >> yes, senator, i wrote that. >> you did write that. okay. and do you still stand by that article because it alleges that joseph was a russian agent? >> i think that's right. i think the intelligence community found he was representing russian interests and communicating with papadopoulos. >> you're standing by that article? >> i haven't read it since may of 2019, but i think it was -- n

it was tragic some of these individuals may have been already reported the ig has to find them and in find a way to ensure that their testimony, their information is garnered for this investigation. being assigned to a detention center, being given a deportation order, is a civil act. it should not assign you to harm and if these women were harmed and only we as women and many men, many members of congress for signing this letter, women can understand how invasive, how violated hysterectomies are. particularly up unwarranted. it feels like your personhood, your worth as a woman in many instances if it is not voluntary, if you have not consulted with your physician, if you have not consulted with your family members and if you have not determined that you already are not of childbearing status so it hit me in my heart, in my gut. and i couldn't imagine pauline alone having had this surgery, having had the ability to explain to us in an ig investigation and to congress because i have called on congressional investigations as well to overlap the ig i couldn't imagine her departing. i am

i still prefer ig investment grade debt over equity in a lot of areas. still think there is some room for attraction of spreads, where i think most equity markets, particularly the u.s., is probably a little overvalued. within the market, there's huge differences between those growth stocks and the rest. if i was trying to pick broadly, i think the equity market in europe versus the u.s. is probably a little too high. my general preference toward ig and some selective equity markets come with maybe a little more emphasis on europe then we've had for most of the last 10 years. guy: how asymmetric is the risk in the bond market right now? can yields go lower from here? people keep saying they can't, and yet they continue to do so. they've been locked in a reasonably tight range of late. what is the risk if you have a chunk of bonds in your 60-40? colin: if you are talking sovereign debt, the big question is can u.s. yields trend toward zero or negative as well. our contention is that they did thoughd to do that, even there will be this slow recovery. it wi

once the ig report and the mueller report were out, why weren't subpoenas being issued then?s it now? the problem with this i think, todd, is that it makes it look political because we've got a presidential campaign and it shouldn't be political. todd: the a look at these individuals that could potentially be subpoenaed, andrew mccabe, the former deputy fbi director, bruce orr, jonathan weiner. to your point, francie, at least on this program and throughout a number of programs, a lot of criticism was levied at democrats following the mueller investigation, following the ig report saying we're going to get to the bottom of this, even though mueller and the ig did their job doing that. i feel like this is a similar situation only the republicans are the ones trying to get to the bottom of what was already gotten to the bottom of. what new information do senate republicans expect to find in this that hasn't already been brought out? >> well, you know, it's interesting, todd. there is constantly new information coming out about this investigation and that's what's been so frustr

the sink -- nasa's cyber security shortcomings identified by the ig and ig oh, unauthorized access, the authorization to operate and poor inventory management for cause or concern which brings us to the situation nasa currently faces. the covid-19 challenge requires most of nasa's employees to work remotely. while nasa has embraced teleworking for years the expansion of this practice introduces a larger target and more vulnerabilities for actors to exploit. in addition to teleworking challenges i'm interested in understanding what level of insight nasa has on cybersecurity as nasa moves toward the public-private partnerships. finally, it is worth noting that donald trump recently issued space policy directive number 5 focused on cybersecurity principles for space systems and while it is not focused -- not covid-19 focused specifically it is particularly timely given today's hearing and demonstrates the administration's forward-looking leadership on this topic. i look forward to hearing more about these important issues and what nasa plans to do to mitigate as well as what congress and t

certainly, the trend is positive in terms of ig spreads.en in the ig world, we have reinvested a lot. a focus on that area in our business. manus: what is the biggest risk? that a vaccine comes to early and the big opportunities pass you by? jim z.: i think you have to be patient. certainly, this pandemic came out of the blue and the impact on consumer behavior, on consumer activity, especially in the u.s. where the consumer is 70%-plus of the market, there is a law of known unknowns in the next 24 months. so, i think again we are fortunate. we have a broad platform between private equity, credit, assets. we have our finger in a lot of opportunities, but i think at these kind of levels, one needs to be measured and thoughtful about how they are putting money to work. we think about asia broadly speaking, we think there are opportunities that are consistent with how they are. we seed say opportunities in india a bit, australia. we are trying to pick our spots in that region that fit how we invest with our value and structuring things. dm,s:

i saw an ig report, i saw an ig investigation coming down the trail here because he saw i there was nore there. he saw there was no there there on trump and collusion. and yet they continued and continued to pursue president trump. and this is, obviously, confirms what we saw from the outside, right, lou? i mean, we saw all the indications this was their approach. everything trump did, no matter how innocent, turned into what the fbi agent said was collusion clue. it was a game within the mueller special counsel operation that you could put anyone in to any situation and then draw a collusion inference from it. is so if you talked to -- if you with had so and so on your show, well, you're part of the conspiracy too, lou. i mean, that was their approach on these issues. and it was an abuse of power never seen before in american history, and it went on under rosenstein's watch. and, you know, given the fact that we've got the wiped phones, further conversation that they were joking about wiping phones, we have new information mueller likely lied about his interest in the fbi job, we have

that came from the ig report, so that was verified. does a very good job when he turns covid into an argument about shutdown or not shutdown. when he makes joe biden be the candidate of shutdowns, that really helps the president. he says i open the economy, i open schools, i even opened big ten football and that counts for a lot. at the end, the joke about the masks, about not wearing masks at rallies was great. either joe wears a mask when he's 200 feet away from someone and the reason no one shows up to his rallies as no one cares what he says. >> he saved big ten football, unbelievable. kennedy, tens of millions of americans are obviously -- in economic pain, but i was thinking trump was unable to show empathy last night to say, you know what, i understand. it's like he didn't get it. >> i realize you want to appeal to feelings, and i understand that, but i think people were more concerned about their bottom line. said we handed you this great economy and you blew it. and the implication is you blew it by shutting down your economy
