or any kind of intelligence operation clandestine collection human intelligence technical intelligence that requires every part of it to go perfectly for any of it to succeed. secondly, do not undertake covert operations that have already been described in the new york times. third make sure your agencies experts are involved in the planning the ones who know the most about the area you're going into if they are not cleared from the for the project. well, you should -- well clear them. do not be afraid of communicating clearly to the policy people the risks and consequences of failure of every part of the plan. and this takes courage, but intelligence people should be prepared to stay to stand out down and walk away. for many operation that does not make sense operationally or even politically remember the policy maker may want deniability. more then the conditions you've established for success. on the policy side there were huge implications us prestige was damaged to be sure the soviet union tried to take advantage. the soviet premier khrushchev concluded that kennedy was weak and i

of the intelligence community. part of that has to require, does require, a facility in foreign languages. so as i discussed the high priority that i would attach to china if i'm confirmed as director, part of that priority requires expanding the number of mandarin language speakers, making that a priority, and continue to expand it at the cia. it is crucially important. >> you heard and you will hear members on this committee all talk about technology. and i think most of us would agree that the united states is retarded as it related to our ability to adapt new technologies. we're slow. we fight it. the reason that many of our adversaries made the gains they had is because of their willingness to accept and use technology, to leverage that against what we have built. how do you intend to use technology both in the workforce and in the trade craft to make sure that we fully take advantage of what i think is the greatest innovative country in the world. >> cia has a rich history of technology and innovation. i reco

amplify on your intelligence. it seems -- intelligence answer. it seems to me you're saying it's communicated adequately, but we didn't have the collection that we needed. for example, the norfolk, virginia letter, is it -- how does it get filtered and where does it get filtered? >> again, the norfolk field office letter, that's something to consider. even on the 5th at noon on the 5th i held a joint conference call with the members of the board, my executive team, a dozen of the top law enforcement and military officials from washington, d.c. where we discussed the upcoming events on the 6th, the inauguration, any kind of threats and issues we may have. and even though i had -- we had the director of the field office for the washington field office of the fbi, nothing was mentioned about it. so i think my big point is, i think we need to look out. there's significant evidence coming out that the insurrection that occurred on the 6th was planned, coordinated well in advance, coordinated almost to the point where you're looking between number of s

all of these challenges demand good intelligence. ... emand good intelligence. no president, no president can make the right decisions for our nation and protecting our national security without intelligence. >> by collecting and analyzing and presenting intelligent to policymakers so that they can make best security decisions the country. and to provide intelligence that can be trusted and is credible. the challenge of president biden and a new director is to restore the trust andng credibility of e cia. having worked with president biden, i believe that he understands that intelligence must be grounded in facts and never be politicized. he knows her selfless and brave intelligence professionals. they deserve nothing less than our full support. it's for these reasons any shows william burns to be the cia director and i am confident both will work to restore trust to the cia with a national security team and with both democrats anh republicans on this committee. and with our allies, and most of all with the american people as jim baker pointed out, bill has serv

we had the intelligence coming out, the intelligence we would be planning for. again, keep in mind the intelligence assessments we had developed at the end of december, and the one for january 3rd, were very, very similar. they just provided a little more specificity, so we had already been planning for the threat for violence, the threat for armed people protesting. that's what we were planning for. if you refer to the norfolk letter, again, i just became aware that the department was aware of that 24 hours ago, so on the 6th or the 5th or the 4th, i was not aware that memo existed. >> so you're saying there is a breakdown between you and the fbi, because we have rallies, protests and things happening in washington all the time. how many -- could both of you just maybe give a guess, how many do you think were actually armed insurrectionists or came heavily armed out of the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of rallies that we see in washington through the year? >> you know, the last three incidents, the first two, the women of the metropolitan police department recov

what value is giving him intelligence briefing?ct does it have at all, other than the fact he may slip and say something. >> the exclusive interview the president gave norah o'donnell of cbs news. want to bring back kaitlan collins. i think it was significant, the $15 minimum wage is probably not going to be in the covid relief package. doesn't want the former president of the united states to get intelligence briefings. the tradition is that former presidents do receive highly classified intelligence briefings when they seek out those kinds of briefings. he said he shouldn't get the briefings because of his erratic behavior, says he is willing to negotiate on the level of income that would qualify you to get the $1400 check. there was significant news there. >> there was, wolf. still no clarity what that's going to look like. that's the big question. what is the phase out for people receiving the checks. he is saying he is not coming down from $1400. wolf, news about the federal minimum wage is significant because of course that's

trump still receive intelligence briefings? >> i think not. >> why not? >> because of his erratic behavior. unrelated to the insurrection. >> you called him a threat, dangerous, reckless. >> yeah i have, and i believe it. >> what is your worst fear if he continues to get the intelligence briefings? >> i just think there is no need for him to have those intelligence briefings. what value is it? what impact does he have at all other than he might slip and say something. >> that is a generous way of putting it. diplomatic. the president of the united states saying that he is concerned that the previous president, who he calls reckless and dangerous and behavior he calls erratic could slip up and say something. there is plenty of evidence he can do what joe biden is concerned about. let's remember russia, if you are listening. russia. >> russia, if you are listening, i hope you are able to find the 30,000 e-mails. >> i think we should remember that perfect call with the president of ukraine. the one that got him impeached the first

this is incredibly intelligent.tells rommel exactly how long it will take the british to attack meaning how long he has before attacking himself. this message goes to the death of margaret who was recruited to depart two years before as an untrained clerk, recruitment transformed her life. because blakely park's success is decrypting german messages is getting into the nightmares of its commanders. their thinking for deciphering their messages, what if they are deciphering our messages. in the spring of 1942, story is promoted to research specialists in finding enemy intelligence insight of the ed negrete messages. i wish i could show you a picture, but margaret's story at left almost no trace in life but her work. check many months to find who had known her. they told me imagine her as eight flight who were dark cardigans, who was always smoking. she told me she was self-effacing, introspective, very intelligent that she had daunting intelligence. chet absently formidable intelligence. that she was shy, very shy. s

not necessarily a failure of intelligence but a failure to communicate intelligence. and i think that's something that we all need to think about, and you can be very helpful to us in suggesting what should be the chain of communication in terms of intelligence? you can't adequately prepare if you don't have the information, and it clearly seems to me there were some failures. chief sund, i have a specific question for you, and it's more forward-looking, but i'd appreciate your insights. the question is, how do we protect the capitol from either an angry mob or, probably more likely, one or two or three malignant actors without turning it into a fortress? how do we allow the american people to go in the rotunda to tour the capitol, to picnic on the grounds, to play with their kids? it seems to me going forward that's really one of the challenges. we want security but we don't -- i would hate to see the u.s. capitol turned into a fortress. your thoughts, mr. sund? >> i think you need your mic on. >> i think we ever thhave the p in place from the intelligence that we ne

intelligence rarely paints a full picture. but i think there was enough information there for them to have responded differently than they did in terms of having enough people available for immediate deployment. if it's true that it actually went from the joint terrorism task force to the capitol police intelligence section and the sergeant in charge of intel did not pass that on, that is just totally inexcusable. that is the kind of information you need, and it's occurring the day before the eventual action itself. the other thing i think contee mentioned that was very important, during the time i was in d.c., i had a great relationship with the fbi. i never worried about critical information that needed to get to me. why? because the assistant director would pick up the phone and call me for something i needed to be aware. it was a simple phone call. i think we rely too much on e-mails and faxes and other things for critical information. that stuff needs to get to the right people very, very quickly. >> so, andrew mccabe, le

>> when you talk about intelligence collection we are a consumer of intelligence from the intelligence committee or community, i'm sorry. we do have the ability to look at open source and see what people are talking about on open source but going and collecting in-depth intelligence is something that we are consuming from the intelligence community. >> i appreciate your time and ideals back. >> thank you very much. that was our last of questions and we are going to conclude this hearing. i wanted to say a few words at the end. first of all i want to thank chairman here's and center, ranking members blunt and portman for conducting this hearing in such a professional way. we had a bipartisan agreement on how this hearing would be conducted, who are witnesses would be and also the plan to have additional hearings including one next week that we will be announcing tomorrow with the department of defense, department of homeland security and the fbi because clearly we have and our members have additional questions . i want to thankthe witnesses for voluntarily appearing . before us, i want

did you get that intelligence report? >> the united states capitol police did get that report i was just invited to that in the last 24 hours. it made it on the joint terrorism task force over to the intelligence bureau and ceased moving forward at that point. no leadership myself included is aware at the time of the event. you referred in your testimony to the individual who is the head of the director of intelligence on the u.s. capitol police. did he receive that report but didn't pass it on to you as the head lacks. >> i have no knowledge that he received that report. it went over to the official rank of the sergeant and didn't move from there. for the head of the intelligence to review it especially when there were significant other indications of potential violence and make sure that you as the leader had that knowledge on which to develop additional plans if additional plans were needed? >> i'm sure that is something they are looking at. but as i mentioned before, that was role intelligence and taken in considerati

capitol police to get the intelligence report, to review it? especially when there were significant other indications of potential violence and make sure that you, as the leader, had that knowledge on which to develop additional plans if additional plans were needed? >> i'm sure that's something they're looking at in their current after-action. there's a process for it. but, again, that's, as i mentioned before, that was raw intelligence that was coming in, and again, taking into consideration with everything else, none of the other intelligence was showing we were looking at this type of a broad insurrectionist type of event with thousands of armed, coordinated individuals. >> i know you're saying that the folks are looking at that now. but my question was, did you have a procedure for important intelligence to be brought directly to your attention? and did that system break down? that's why you did not see the warnings about blood being spilled, get violent, be ready to come and die. >> yes. there is a process in place to make sure that criti

trump still receive intelligence briefings? >> i think not. >> why not? >> because of his erratic behavior. unrelated to the insurrection. >> i mean, you've called him an existential threat. you've called him dangerous. you've called him reckless. >> yeah, i have, and i believe it. >> what is your worst fear if he continues to get the intelligence briefings? >> i'd rather not speculate out loud. i just think there is no need for him to have those intelligence briefings. what value is giving him an intelligence briefing? what impact does he have at all other than he might slip and say something. >> that is a very generous way of putting it, diplomatic, i should say. that's diplomatic. the president of the united states saying that he is concerned that the previous president, who he calls reckless and daimler-chrysler, whose behavior he calls erratic, could slip up and say something. that is -- that's really something in this day and age. never really heard anything like that about a former president. keeper of top secret, right?

what value is giving him an intelligence briefing? what impact does it have at all other than the fact he might slip and say something? >> also in that interview, the president talks about covid relief and what parts of his aid package are nonnegotiable and what might not make it in the final bill? we'll have a lot more on that in a moment. >>> first, today marks one month since a violent mob stormed capitol hill and there are new arrests of those who participated in the deadly riot, including this woman, who is no in custody with her role in the attack. she's seen here in that pink hat using a roll -- pole, rather, as a battering ram trying to smash one of the windows of the capitol. she was also accused of using a bull horn to direct rioters. this all comes as we're days away from the start of trump's second impeachment trial. one person we won't be seeing or hearing from, however, is donald trump himself. his defense team confirming trump won't testify. a new reaction this morning from congressman ruben gallegos. >> well, this is m

party as revealed by domestic intelligence files. just. to come to. mind and thus you need. not only have journalists uncovered links between stuff announced and tossed in high school but also a link between the interrogate combat 18. a video threatening the journalist who exposed a link to was later released by combat 18. and the fascist website exit if see the man individual is robin schneeman who they believe is a key figure in combat 18 germany. the man is also a central figure in the network a friend and pen pal of n.s.u. killer cheaper exist say he is also close to toss the highs for home schneeman the concert security considering stephan and slinks to terrorist groups domestic intelligence and key players in the network the state must have been aware of him and yet he was able to plan and carry out the murder of a politician without interference what's become to focus. on the others i think least noise yard along the modern called divide in this. we never know. who would. want us. there until. we stop shaft that would like to stop a test run yeah i'm interested insitu

intelligence agency and give more of a total picture of what is going on with intelligence. that was the big reform that was made. sec. shalala: you also have talked in one speech about implicit self-defense about the decision to go into iraq. i want to ask you when you , examine the iraq situation and there was a discussion, did you look at other countries as well because when you look at the list of justifications, you could put those on iran as well. why iraq rather than iran? and did you look at more than one country? sec. rice: iraq was sweet generous in our view. it was unique because we had been to war against saddam hussein -- saddam hussein in 1991. he signed an armistice and was systematically violating that armistice. he was found to have been one year from a crude nuclear device. he had used weapons of mass distraction against the iranians and his own people. matt -- mass destruction against the iranians and his own people. we were flying so-called no-fly zones to keep his air force on the grounds. he was shooting at our aircraft practically every day. i remember

there was no such intelligence. although lo we knew the likelihood for violence by extremists, no credible threat indicated that tens of thousands would attack the u.s. capitol. nor did the intelligence receive from the fbi or any other law enforcement partner indicate such a threat. indeed, the secret service brought the vice president to the capitol that day, as they were also unaware of any credible threat of that magnitude. the department also did not ignore intelligence that we had, which indicated an elevated risk of violence from extremist groups. to the contrary, we heightened our security posture. there's evidence that some of those who stormed the capitol were organized. but there's also evidence that a large number were every day americans who took on a mob mentality because they were angry and desperate. it is the conduct of this latter group that the department was not prepared for. the department did face some operational challenges that we are addressing. for example, the capitol lockdown was not prop

did intelligence failures in the intelligence cycle play a role in this? yes, it played a role. the consumers of intelligence are policymakers, decisionmakers, the u.s. military. but the collection of intelligence itself is only directly related to what people in the intelligence community, 24 different agencies that includes the fbi, are directed to collect. after the collection you go through a processing. then you go through analysis of that and then through dissemination. i think the breakdown here was in the dissemination between the fbi, other members of the intelligence community, capitol police and capitol hill itself. >> listen, though, as you know better than me because you've dealt with intelligence. intelligence informs decisions. it doesn't make decisions whether in military, police or fbi. and i just wonder if there's another element to this. that there was an overlearning of the lessons from the protests last summer because clearly there was a reluctance across the board to put uniformed military on the streets of d.c., even from some d.c. leaders here. was that p

intelligence report finds that saudi crown prince mohammed bin salam approved an operation to capture or kill journalist jamal khashoggi. hello i'm maryam namazie and london you're watching al-jazeera also coming up on the program to. me and my own ambassador to the united nations urges the world to act as police dispersed and he could protest as in yangon. use any means necessary. against them. and. for the people of myanmar. also coming up on the program in nigeria as far as state after gunman kidnapped more than 300 schoolgirls in a nighttime raid. u.s. intelligence officials believe the saudi crown prince approved the operation to capture or kill journalist in 2018 that's according to a long awaited report just declassified by the bite an administration it says mohammed bin zalman was in absolute control of the kingdom's intelligence and security services meaning such an operation would not have been carried out without his authorization it knows that the crown prince is a threat and broadly back to violence if it was needed to silence him the report is 21 individuals u.s. intelli

sharing intelligence with the russians and public discussions involving classified intelligence thats is the right thing to do. >> intelligence briefings are one of the perks of being a former president and really just a courtesy. >> they are a courtesy. as the director noted you can give them to president obama. george bush, the threat of al qaeda. there was a different situation there wanting to keep him in the loop and extra security. sometimes it is adaptable based on the situation at hand. joe biden gave the answer. maybe he hasn't directed the director to do it but that was the direction right there in that interview. presidents need to make a lot of difficult decisions. this is not a hard one. donald trump has financial issues. why would you give him access to sensitive intelligence. donald trump hasn't respected the intelligence or people that gather it in the past and i would say this and the director knows this firsthand. donald trump has a history of taking a nugget of truth and spinning it into wild fantasy conspiracy land. >> this is incredible of the many things we bore

the best intelligence informants on the n.s.u. pis is clearly not the music producer he came to be at 1st and the documents reveal his links go even deeper including details of a secretly recorded conversation in which his' and plant mention by name all of the n.s.u. killers long before the names have gone public. why does this matter police confiscated the state in 2007 so it was not only highs there they knew about the n.s.u. before the public found out in 2011 it was also the investigators took the tape and the mastic intelligence to plant. so that intelligence services make the decision to keep their informant instead of stopping these murders much earlier perhaps all together before. the fall in nazi all guns that. was. sent. from. the history of extreme right violence being covered up at every level of the german state goes right back to the creation of western money shortly after world war 2 the cia created the 1st west german intelligence agency and not only did the americans install a former nazi intelligence general as h

the intelligence did not warrant that. if the chief of the security leader had expressed doubt about our readiness without the national guard. would you not have hesitated to request them. chief sund stanger and i were confident in the chief's plan and i did whatever i could do ensure that chief sunday had the support needed to prepare and execute that security plan. and on january 6 when i was asked for authorization to request national guard assistance, i approved it. there are important lessons to be learned from january 6th. i commend the committees for conducting this proactive review of the events leading up to and on january 6th. i want to help the staff and members make changes and improvements and to ensure the tragedies of january 6 never occur again. i look forward to answering your questions. >> thank you very much. we'll now begin a questioning. i want to start out just to clear up one thing by just asking all of our witnesses yes no question. based on what we know now, including the recent department of justi

president trump any intelligence briefings?now that. he said he doesn't think he should get them. that also requires president trump to request an intelligence briefing. we don't believe he's done so so far and never interested in getting the intelligence briefings, even when he was no office. >> that's what i was going to ask. as i recall, he didn't get intelligence briefings like he should. >> reporter: on the record he was incredibly difficult to brief because he wasn't listening of would say the intelligence is wrong and push back on it and they said sit was a difficult way to get the president to ingest information. this was raised by sue gordon who used to brief president trump and she was the one who came out after the election and said she didn't think he should have access to these anymore and it was too dangerous and we have the current president weighing in saying he agrees which is rema remarkable. >> the president made news on the covid minimum wage. >> reporter: this is something he promised an the campaign and pu

intelligence agency, and give more of a total picture of what's going on within intelligence. so that was the big reform that was made. >> you also have talked in at least one speech that i know of about an 'tis parry self-defense as part of the decision to go into iraq. i really want to ask you, when you examine the iraq situation, and there was a discussion, did you look at other countries as well? because if you look at the list of justification, you could put those on iran as well. and so why iraq rather than iran? and did you look at more than one country? >> this yes. we looked -- iraq was suey jen ress in our view, it was unique. it was unique because we had been to war zens saddam hussein in 1991. he signed an armistice. he systemically denied that armistice. he found in 1991 to be one weapon away from a nuclear device. he use the weapons of mass destruction and a nuclear weapon against his own people. the strengths against him were starting to break down, including the fact we were flying so-called no-fly zones to keep his air force on the ground. he was shooting at o

like schwab intelligent income. schwab! introducing schwab intelligent income., we don't have that. schwab. a modern approach to wealth management. >>> well we're days away from the senate vote expected to confirm merritt garland as the next attorney general of the united states. seems few will even hesitate to confirm him, but it was her et garland's own hesitation, something that gave him pause, but i hope will guide his tenure as the attorney general of the united states. >> i have had a great pause about the -- about the death penalty. >> his pause was actually an evolution of thought. the kind of epiphany that justice not only invites but requires. we assume that justice is served by a blindfolded lady justice, that somehow her blindness will guarantee equal justice under the law, but judge garland's pause may actually represent the realization that we must actually see the world for what it really is for justice to be served. consider the death penalty that he spoke of. merrick garland didn't close his eyes to the data regarding the arbitrariness of its ap

when a critical intelligence report is received by the capital police from an intelligence community source like the fbi, who usually would receive it. did you receive this report? >> thank you for the question. in the last 24 hours, i was informed they had received that report and it was received by what we call one of our sworn members assigned to the task force which is a task force with the fbi. they received it on the evening of the fifth, reviewed and forwarded it over to an unofficial at the intelligence division at the capitol police headquarters. >> so you hadn't seen it yourself. >> it did not go any further than that. >> was it sent to the house and sergeant at our? >> i don't believe it went any further from the intelligence division. >> and did you get that report? >> before hand? >> no. >> i did not. >> okay. i think that may have contributed to the lack of information, but i will leave that for the future. now let's go back to another report i know on january 3rd you said in your testimony the capital police published intelligence assessments of the event including one

the judgment was no, the intelligence did not warrant that. if the chief or any other security leader expressed doubt about our readiness without the national guard, i would not have hesitated to request them. chief sund, the sergeant at arms and i were confident and i did whatever i could to ensure that the chief had the support needed to prepare and execute the plan. on january 6th when asked for authorization to request national guard assistance i approved it. there are important lessons to be learned from january 6th. i commend the committees for conducting the proactive review of the events leading up to and on january 6th. i want to help the staff and members make changes and improvements and ensure the tragedies of january 6th never occur again and look forward to answering your questions. >> thank you very much. we'll now begin questioning. i want to start out just to clear up one thing by just asking all of our witnesses, yes/no question. based on what we know now, including the recent department of justice indictment, do you agree th

these were not intelligence experts. these were men and women, friends of mine, folks on the street. it was very clear that something bad could potentially happen. but then you also had intelligence reports, as we brought up today. on january 3rd a report from capitol police that talked about, in fact, what is public is the fact that it was going to be different from some of the activities that occurred earlier where there was violence against groups, between groups, that this one was -- the target was congress. it was congress itself that was going to be the target of violent activity. and if you remember, the capitol police, your job is to protect congress and it was out there. so it is very difficult to understand why the kinds of -- or the procedures were not put in place to make sure there was adequate protection, making sure the police had riot gear, to make sure they were able to protect the capitol close up, to make sure the national guard was able to respond and be ready to respond at a moment's notice, which we

when a critical intelligence report is received by the capitol police from an intelligence community source like the fbi, who usually would receive it? i will start with did you receive this report? >> thank you very much for the question, ma'am. i actually just in the last 24 hours was informed by the department that they actually had received that report. it was received by what we call one of our sworn members that's assigned to the joint terrorism task force, which is a task force with the fbi. they received it the evening of the 5th, reviewed it and then forwarded it over to an official at the intelligence division at the u.s. capitol police headquarters. >> you hadn't seen it yourself? >> no, ma'am. it did not go any further than that. >> was it sent to the house and senate sergeant at arms? >> i don't believe it went any farther than over to the sergeant at the intelligence. >> mr. irving and mr. stenger, did you get that report? before hand? mr. stenger, did you get the report? >> no. >> mr. irving? >> i did not. >> okay. that may have contributed part to the lack of informat

he'll point out within the intelligence document, the main intelligence document that uscp was working from had conflicting information. they knew there were extremists planned to be armed and believed that this march would reflect the marches of november and december in which trump supporters came out in droves and there was very little violence. so the competing ideas led to poor decision-making. here is the exact quote. the intelligence provided to the u.s. capitol police and other law enforcement did not anticipate a coordinated attack. warning should not be qualified or hidden. that conflicting information or missing information leads to poor decisions. the now acting police chief had a vital role because at the time of the insurrection she was the head of the intelligence operations and it is her job to look at intelligence with her team and bring it to the chief. one part of that she may be questioned on is the fbi memo that warned on the capitol but never made its way to steven sund. >> whitney wild, thank you very much. joining us now, andrew mccabe and charles ramsey and form

they spoke about the quality of the intelligence.ibed it as raw intelligence, and that excerpt that you just read from, apparently they were unable to identify the person who wrote that and be able to verify it as credible. and what we've heard from law enforcement sources is the deluge of online very incendiary rhetoric these day ltz has made it difficult for them to distinguish between something in their basement boasting and someone who has a gun and is ready to travel and has the financing to do that. what was interesting were a couple other themes that emerged at the hearing. one was this idea that the intelligence community hasn't been taking white supremacists and other extremists seriously enough, that because perhaps they're white, because they were trump supporters, they weren't viewed the same way black lives matter protests were viewed, and obviously we saw pretty swift response from law enforcement to those protests. so, i think there will be -- this will continue to be part of a broader conversation about the intelligen
