people, intel people.ntil folks think differently, so that is an important aspect to consider with the intel capability. i have a small team of testers, cyberthreat hunters and forensics and now i'm able to say that imitate cybercriminal acts against this high value system. you know, that only proves the resilience of that specific system. also working with the 21st seven monitoring can show you if the stock has every visibility in the rate triggers in place. you can provide the same information to your threat hunters with the environment that identify if the threat actor has been inside your environment before. defensive depth very important. threat-based models really changes the aspect of the entire program. and then, if you do have good intel unspecific ttp do you need your staff to an outcome you can get them into your training and awareness program to really emphasize if you're doing dishing exercises, you can and does the right way and raise the awareness the right way so changes dynamics of the ent

that is exactly the reason we have an intel community. -- intel committee. it's the whole reason why we set that committee up so that they can see those types of documents, not all of congress, we have given that authority to some of our colleagues and so there is no plausible reason for doj to not share it with the intel committee. and in that i can't speak to specifics because i don't know them. i am not part of that. i can tell you they run and hide every time. they talk about they don't want this divulged. really most of the reason they haven't been giving us documents is because they don't want to be embarrassed. they have admitted that. they don't want to embarrass their employees. the last thing i want to do is embarrass federal employees. most of which, the vast majority of which are hard-working public servants. i can tell you i have seen , documents and read things that if they did get out, it would be embarrassing. they have not gotten out. i have not share those. it's all about getting to the truth and making sure we have lady justice with a blin

nunes' request deals with a top secret intel source of the fbi and cia who is a u.s. citizen and involved in the russia collusion probe. we might say the cia had a person on the payroll who used his or her credentials to interact with the trump campaign. she has incredible sources, i know that. she seems to be indicating there could haveom been someone inside the trump campaign from the fbi spying on the trump campaign.hi we'll see if any of this pans out. >> we had information that there was a counter intelligence committee. >> laura: how does that play out, wire taps? >> what did the program entail. this justice takes the approach of the modified limited hangout. for four months they sat on the fact that they had the pages an- we found out about the clinton dac dossier. >> laura: other shoes will drop. >> i don't believe there is that information. >> laura: if, saul, i know you love if's as a white collar litigator, let's go back to law school. if the fbi embedded someone inside the trump campaign and they believe for legitimate purpose if russia was trying to throw

intel committee members like senator rockefeller are saying do more. the justice department comes out and says this is all legal, go do it. make sure we're not attacked again. oh, by the way, you're using techniques that we use on our marines and soldiers. and that's what they did. gina haspel was not high up. she had nothing to do with this. she was a gs-15 when this was going on. and yet, my colleagues who are looking for reasons to vote against her are using this as an episode, saying well, because she was involved at a low level, we're going to vote against her. think about that, mr. president. members of the clandestine service going out and risking their lives, being told to do something by their government, being told it's legal to do something by their government, being encouraged by members of this body and the house to go do it, and now that one of them has risen through the ranks with a stellar career, we're going to have members who come to the floor and say, no, we're going to consider her not qualified because she was a gs-15, didn't desi

so ben rhodes and colin kahl apparently get targeted by had intel company. there's a burglary of an advocacy group that is also promoting and supporting the iran deal. the guardian is also describing activists including iranian-american activists who are supporters of the deal being targeted in what appeared to be fake journalistic entreaties. reporters calling up activists and trying to elicit information from them that could potentially be used to pak guys like colin kahl and ben rhodes look bad. it is a huge deal that the president is probably going to announce the death of the iran nuclear deal tomorrow. alongside that it lends a bizarre cast to that huge deal if part of the way they tried to arrive at this political outcome is with this cloak and dagger alleged burglary and black ops targeting the family members of obama administration officials using foreign private intelligence groups. joining us now is colin kahl, former national security adviser to vice president biden. mr. kahl, thank you very much for being here. i really appreciate your time. >>

but tonight there are signs the agreement to see the intel is not pleasing leaders. there still a lot of secrecy surrounding exactly what will happen when nunes and republican trey gowdy go behind closed doors with the fbi director christopher wray and rod rosenstein you mention from the justice department. some republicans are saying this feels like a shell game where they may only be briefed on the sensitive documents rather than actually seeing them in the fbi and justice department officials can put their spin on it. while some senate democratic leader chuck schumer is lashing out charging this meeting is a partisan move that shows nunes is just trying to help the president undermined special counsel robert mueller's probe. the president brought all of that aside today in some fiery remarks were here asserted this is a legitimate pursuit of the truth. while there has been a lot of skepticism, you remember last year when the president first charged that the obama administration had conducted surveillance. he was boosted today perhaps by the fact that former campai

with the intel community's assessment. they had no reason to disagree with the intel community's conclusions. and here you have someone who is supposed to be in charge of protecting our homeland, and someone who i was told actually had, had been working on stopping russian interference in the 2018 and 2020 elections, claiming in a most peculiar way absolute ignorance of any russian meddling or russian -- or russian, a conclusion by our entire intel community that the russians were trying to win the election for donald trump. what -- what do we even do with that? >> well -- >> if we had a senate that was not as, or a house that was not as pathetic as this house has proven to be, in protecting our country's borders from russian influence, what would we do? >> well this is, joe, this is further proof and evidence of what it's like to be part of trump's orbit. this is a woman, cabinet secretary, homeland security, who was berated in front of the entire cabinet a few weeks ago, publicly berated in front of all of her colleagues

all of the intel community agrees that is a concern. >> yes. markets loved it. >>> plenty of news coming from the white house. today for a third straight day, no press briefing. that is fine with former white house press secretary sean spicer. he says the daily on-camera briefing is worth reexamining. >> the briefing is more of a show rather than outlet for information. we should provide the media on a daily basis answers to the questions they have and issues ongoing. the time and effort it takes to get that briefing going and what you get on the outside or in return is not worth it. >> you recall that spicer's time as white house press secretary was marked by confrontational briefings. he was parodied by melissa mccarthy on "snl." >>> and we have surveillance camera footage at doral resort in florida. watch. >> shots fired. >> the miami-dade officer firing and ducking for cover before entering the lobby. the officer can be heard how to get downstairs before going upstairs as the suspect's description comes in. >> 42-year-old jonathan odie was

for more than a year now the president and the house intel committee led by devin nunes has sought the initial unredacted documents that sparked this collusion broke. well today, the fbi director and the deputy ag have agreed to give congressional members access to highly classified documents about the russia probe. now they want to see the information concerning the fbi informant who reportedly cozied up to at least three trump associates. what do you call this guy, a spy, and informant or just a mole? who cares? that's just semantics. according to reports, the fbi sent this informant out to make contact with carter page, george papadopoulos and sam clovis. this informant reportedly had a sitdown with carter page in early july of 2016. well, that's interesting, because that undermines former fbi director jim comey's contention that the fbi didn't begin its investigation until late july. incidentally, between 2012 all the way up to 2018, now, according to public records, this same informant received more than a million dollars. for kind of general foreign policy research. and he conduc

hopefully we will hear from the intel community or the defense officials. let's turn to an article you wrote on cnn.com. donald trump doesn't seem to want you to trust the government he leads. of course, this is based on his allegation that there was a spy planted in his campaign. here's what he said yesterday in the oval -- >> if they had spies in my campaign, that would be a disgrace to this country. that would be one of the biggest insults that anyone's ever seen, and it would be very illegal aside from everything else. if they had spies in my campaign, during my campaign for political purposes, that would be unprecedented in the history of our country. >> does this fall in line with the three million illegal votes? is there any evidence of it, and where do we go from here politically? >> you know, the three million illegal votes, the allegations of wiretapping by president obama, it -- with the exception of the three million illegal votes where there's no evidence, with a lot of these conspiracy theories, he will take a kernel of something and kind of t

you are on the intel committee.hey are reporting that a guy who was claiming to advise the trump campaign was reporting back to the obama agencies.o you just said a judge signed off on that or suggested that one had. >> a lot of the evidence judges have signed off. >> tucker: that the spying operation. >> i can't say on what is being alleged. i can say all the evidence i've seen -- i believe a judge has signed off on a lot of good evidence. >> tucker: on that specific -- does that not bother you? if he were spying on your campaign, trump was spying on your campaign. and you didn't know whether or not a judge signed off on it, would that bother you? >> it's a good question. >> tucker: it's a great question. >> considering all the evidence i've seen in this investigation, all the contacts that trump has had with the russians, i want judges to sign off on anything that would make sure that a foreign adversary wasn'tmeur meddling in our election. >> tucker: do you care if a judge signed off on spying operations that are

heather: he talked about telling the house and intel committee, senate intel committee along with theueller team saying he was approached by this other potential informants but they didn't care, mueller didn't care specifically. >> senate and house, couldn't believe the house intelligence committee hasn't run with this but that is surprising to me. given how much they come out and get on the front end to use the office of mindset on that side. with mueller's team of caputo about this information they played their cards right, that is standard in an investigation, if you are not going to show potential individual you are investigating that you confirm or deny the information is new to you are not new to you? heather: it doesn't seem there would just be one person involved in being an informants. you are in fbi special agent. what are your thoughts when you heard about the fbi informant we are not naming on fox, being involved in this administration, approaching papadopoulos, carter page, what did you think? was this normal to you? >> the fbi historically used confidential human sources

this morning, intel officials sit down with republicans devin nunes and trey gowdy. late last night, after schedule changes and updating, a second meeting was added with the gang of eight. some accused the white house of politicizing the enerintelligen. >> the second meeting will be a gang of seven because paul ryan has a scheduling conflict. nunes and gowdy will continue to lead for house republicans. john kelly expected to attend both briefings. a source telling cnn the president told kelly and other aides he wants the process to appear non-partisan so alleged conspiracy won't be overshadowed. >> the drum beat the president sounded on wednesday. first in a series of tweets and then for the cameras. >> it looks like a serious event. we will find out when they look at the documents. people will see a lot of bad things happen. i hope it's not so. if it is, there has never been anything like it in the history of our country. i hope it's not true. it looks like it is. >> if you wonder where the president gets the ideas of conspiracy theories into his own reality, this m

new tonight after a meeting between trump, the fbi director chris wray, rod rosenstein and other top intel officials, president trump and the department of justice are asking the inspector general to investigate the obama administration and the spying they did on the trump campaign. the white house is also revealing tonight that chief of staff, john kelly, general kelly, is setting up a meeting for congress so they will see the documents that constitutionally they have been asking for and the doj has been obstructing and stone walling. i believe it when i see the documents. this is the same material that rod rosenstein has refused to turn over for months. now, his name, by the way, you

he's meeting with his intel committee members as we ramp up the pressure. we have one real problem right now. we have a department of just its under this administration that's saying they will not give documents to congress that's we are entitled to constitutionally. and we have a department of justice that's trying to write a narrative that suggests the american people don't need to sight. i'm not seeing a lot of

here now to react is utah congressman chris stewart, a member of the house intel committee.essman, thanks for being here. what should the u.s. do if iran now ramps up nuclear missile technology? >> well, i think they need to do what they promise to do. to increase the sanctions to bring allies in to reimpose the sanctions and use diplomatic and economic levers to convince him not to do this. i think the president was very thoughtful on this. we went from three-month increments, we're looking at it, looking at it. he made a thoughtful decision but it was the only thing he could do. anyone who is fair about this looks at this agreement and realizes it was devastatingly, the foundation of this thing was just unyielding and impossible to implement and it was really the only choice he had was to take a look at this. david: the question is if the sanctions are not enough, if they defy the sanctions that we put on and continue to build their nuclear arsenal. some people are saying that israel, which has showed enormous fortitude in terms of getting intel out of iran, last week benj

gathering availabilitys and powers of the intel community against american citizens. walk us through why this timeline you put out is so important. >> well, it's simply a listing of facts that happened over the course of the last couple of years that perhaps made what we now see happening more easy to occur. i mean, if you look at surveillance on a u.s. citizen, whether it's a journalist or a political figure, is supposed to be one of the most sensitive things we do under the restrictest of oversight, under the rarest of conditions. what happened with the trump campaign, we know that as many as perhaps more than seven trump associates were either wiretapped or electronically surveilled, one informant or spy placed with the campaign and seven other features of a counterintelligence operation perhaps used for political purposes i've outlined. you put all that together and think was this the go-to, really, the government thought there would be russian interference in an election? if that were really the concern, would be to go to each campaign and brief them and warn the

he serves on the house intel committee. thank you so much for joining us. >> you're welcome. >> calling a meeting between the white house and leaders and congress that it be bipartisan to look at those documents. do you think that's going to happen? >> no. zero chance, probably, in all likelihood. if we use the last 14 months of the investigation as any guide, if we use what has happened in the senate, it would be bipartisan. but i really don't have any confidence that will l be the case whatsoever because i believe that this isn't about substance. this is about whac-a-mole, and it's monthly whac-a-mole. this is the latest, and we'll have another one next month when this one kind of peters out. >> another distraction? >> sure. >> one distraction after another. >> sure. because as general hayden said earlier, what this is really about isn't the substance of this, isn't about the counterterrorism or the criminal investigation. this is about coalescing and galvanizing the republican base in the event that director mueller has

it is exactly the reason why we have an intel committee. it is the whole reason why we set that committee up. so that they can see those types of documents on all of congress. we have actually even the authority to some of our colleagues and so, there is no plausible reason for doj to not share it with the intel committee. >> freedom caucus chair represented mark meadows, also discusses why he is dissatisfied with the justice department information sharing with congress. and the house leadership race for speaker. you can see the entire interview on c-span.org. >> c-span, where history unfolds daily. in 1979, c-span was created as a public service by america's cable television companies. today, we continue to bring you unfiltered coverage of congress. the white house, the supreme court and public-policy events in washington d.c.. and around the country. c-span is brought to you by yourcable or satellite provider . >> next, former fbi director, james comey, talks about his new book, "a higher loyalty: truth, lies and leadership" with l'affair

circular intel.nt to be acontributed to the trump administration a trump born policy advisor and arrange a meeting for him who hears this news and we are off to the race. none of it is real. none of it. and the collusion -- fallen apart and the on instruction there is no obstruction the president cannot obstruct by doing his constitutional duties. what we are left with here is look at the length to which stheez people have gone to a, prevent trump from winning and after that, doing their best to get rid of him. >> reporter: that was rush on his show rightly calling out the corruption on the russia probe and explaining what had is all about. thank god people understand it. the reaction the cohost. two shoes. host of waters. we need waters we live in jesse waters and fox news contributor. i will start with you tonight. rush is right. >> it will me where he is wrong? >> rush is wrong because the mueller probe is not over. the -- you can say after rush is wrong is wrong. [laughter]. all right. >> 10 poin

the american civil liberties union that once want every single one of the intel to be subpoenaed says supported the f.b.i. says into raid trumps boyer's office we also believe in the rule of law as an essential foundation for civil liberties and civil rights in fact this love for the f.b.i. is pretty widespread among democrats their approval rating went up from sixty percent in twenty four to sixty nine percent in december two thousand and seven. i never thought that i would live to see a time when the so-called liberal democrats would be in the position of defending the us intelligence community the cia on the left it was reviled sure countless crimes and around the world of the f.b.i. and the cia have been historically sources repression and oppression of people of color of people trying to educate for positive change on the left of the enemies of the left they always have been historically and they still are so what we have going on now with the trump investigation is robert mueller and this n.b.c. constantly going on and on about the f.b.i. is a secret institution fighting for tru

intel committee and an fbi special agent for many years. okay, so you are the perfect nexus for this story. explain to me how the fbi using a confidential source to investigate a crime is spying? how can they even make that leap of logic? >> yeah. so here is where it could be a problem for the fbi. so, the source -- again, this is all from public reporting -- but if the source actually paid money and that money had some origin from the bureau and was tasked, meaning that an fbi agent probably his handler said i need you to go to these people and ask them these questions, that is a very different scenario than i'm a guy that stumbles around. i hear something and i go, i pick up the phone and go, hey, guys. you need to know this. you won't believe what i just heard. it doesn't sound like a lot, but that is a significant difference. what the trump administration is trying to say here is he was tasked to go meet these people and elicit information. >> you call that spying? >> i wouldn't call it spying. i do think it raises some questions if you

members of the house came to in their intel committee report. because here there is broad agreement across chambers that there was some kind of russian attempt to influence voters. but over here, they have concluded that they think the russians were trying to help trump, which is something that the house members did not conclude. >> harris: peter doocy, thank you very much. let's bring in now republican senator james risch of idaho. he serves on the senate intelligence committee. great to see you today. start with the break of information how one side sees it and the other side sees it. democrats thinking that actually the russians were trying to help donald trump. >> well, there is certainly evidence to that effect. in the opening hearing we had, there was obvious evidence they were working both sides. probably the thing i came away with that was stunning to me is how inept they were stumbling over each other and really trying to work for and against and for and against on each side. so, look. this isn't as clear as what you'd like to see. but

again, that was determined by the intel community's report in january of 2017. let's figure up what's going on here. manu raju is on capitol hill. what did the secretary tell you? >> reporter: kate, she emerged from a closed door briefing after talking to a few dozen house members about election security, talking about things that the homeland security department, the federal government and states need to do to avoid russian interference and other states may be replicating what the russians did in 2016 to prevent that from happening in the 2018 midterms. and one of the lessons learned was about what they should do differently from the 2016 elections and specifically i got a chance to ask her about that intelligence community assessment about the russian infiltration in 2016. in the january 2017 intelligence community assessment, it says very clearly that vladimir putin orchestrated a campaign to help donald trump win the presidency. when i tried to get -- pin her down on whether or not she agreed with that assessment, she sidestepped the question and seemed to s

that's what the intel communities did here. they told the clinton campaign and the trump campaign -- hey, there's a multi-year effort by the russians to interfere with america's 2016 election. if he see anything, anything at all that's suspicious, this is obviously very dangerous. one of our sworn enemies trixting to influence the outcome of the presidential election. let us know. get what the trump campaign did -- the campaign did nothing. to the contrary, writes "the new york times," at least seven trump campaign officials met with russians or people linked to russia. and several seem ed eager to accept the russians' help. as the fbi became aware of these contacts, it began to investigate. and yet the bureau went to great lengths to shield this investigation from becoming public even before the election. even as james comey, then the fbi director, spoke openly about the investigation into hillary clinton's private email server. these facts, write "the new york times" and i'm sure guy vincent and trump's own appointed intel ch
