j. edgar hoover. would we want another j. the future to exercise the kind of power that comey exercised in this case. if the answer is no, which i'm sure it is, we have to make structural changes that don't al ka -- allocate all this power to the fbi. that's not the proper role of the fbi in a democratic society. >> do you think she should have been indicted in. >> no. i don't think it's a close question. >> donald trump likes to liken the e-mail investigation to what happened with general david pet traceus. >> not even close. general petraeus new he was disclosing classified information and he did it for personal reasons of a sexual or auto biographical nature. he knew. he did the hamlet sillioliloquy be or not to be a felon. he stepped over the line. he knew he was violating the line. hillary clinton didn't know that lines are being crossed and that's not the basis for criminal prosecution. >> donald trump said the system is rigged. general petraeus got in trouble for far less, very, very unfair as usual. bad judgment. was

j. edgar hoover. he would consider the hero of the period and that is harry hopkins who moved back to the white house in may of 1940 with the invasion of france he was the guest who never left he became a hand in glove then he y called the deputy president. politics in the wheelchair kept fdr stuck in washington and hyde park. he sent harry hopkins as his adversary to meet with churchill to see if he was a man he could depend upon as an ally. he came back saying we have to do everything we possibly can to keep the british isles afloat and he ended up being the administrator overseeing the release of his bedroom. he is potentially worse than fascism. he would extend to the soviets and make what many felt would be a fault of the soviet union until ultimately the pathway too the distraction of hitler. fdr was unwilling to buck the isolationists. he was unable to fire the first shot. he wanted to lure him into firing the first shot until the american people would push him into the war. it's the climax at

j. edgar hoover f.b.i., back to 1971, that the f.b.i. * and not the justice department had the final wordn whether someone would be prosecuted. the republicans didn't ask the right questions lawyers should ask. they asked questions politicians would ask. the democrats were more interested in gun control and copyright problems at least coordinated their questions. what evidence was presented to the grand jury? what grand jury. a grand jury can issue seen as. the f.b.i. cannot. if there was no grand jury involved from the beginning one wonders how serious they took this case. if there was no grand jury involved and bryan pagliano wasn't going to testify in front of a grand jury, what did they give him immunity for? the republicans failed to zero in on the serious things missing in the f.b.i.'s behavior. kennedy: one more question, do you think it's odd that they didn't put hillary clinton under oath when she was questioned by the f.b.i. >> the f.b.i. does not put you under oath where he questioned by them at the tail end of their investigation. the penalty for lie together f.b.i. is the sam

j. edgar hoover, fantastic. i mentioned melissa leo, i mentioned frank langella, fantastic as richard russell, and to my mind, the great revelation other than you, was bradley whitford as hubert humphrey. - yeah. - there were moments when i was staring at him, forgetting that it was bradley whitford. - bradley whitford from (trails off). - from "the west wing". - from "the west wing" fame. - very familiar face but he really disappeared into it. - i've known him for years. he was married to jane kaczmarek who was my co-star on "malcolm in the middle" for seven years. so i've known him for a long, long time. this is the first time we've actually worked together. and he's a lot of fun on the set. i said, "where'd you get?" he had a little pouty, you know, as humphrey. i said, "where'd you get that?" he said, "i don't know." he says he has a dog that's a boxer. - he just did the dog. - he just did his dog. - isn't that amazing? - he didn't do an impersonation of humphrey. he did an impersonation of his own dog.

j. edgar hoover is spinning in his grave. this is, and kimberly is right, the optics are so clear, you have somebody who owes bill clinton, he meets her when he knows he shouldn't meet her, fbi meets her on a day they don't normally meet her. she said i'm going to keep this person who has my career in her hands if they become president, next day they are on air force one. one way to handle this, congratulations we're having hearings tomorrow, this is a november decision and it's up to the american public. >> i only have a few more seconds, mr. adams, what happens -- for months we've heard you don't need to have intent if you're grossly negligent, that's still indictable. apparently now you have to have intent. when did it change? >> apparently it changed on the way to the press podium. you notice he avoided that entirely. a county d.a. could have prosecuted this case successfully. apparently, we're not going to see whether our justice department can. >> thank you so much. >>> coming up next right here on "hannity" -- >> as as

j. edgar hoover. he is head of the fbi.re the united states attorney for the department of justice. you are the attorney general for -- you're going to take the fbi's opinion whether to go forward? since when do we not need you? harris: did she take herself and put herself under the bus for this president and this presidential candidate? >> i don't know if she's smart or if she was bought. it is one or the other. if she is not smart, then what she did was, she made an agreement to violate the rules, say looking back, i won't do it again. and then say, i will let jim decide. kennedy: i think comey gave her cover, i really do. i think someone got to him, if he had recommended charges, then she would have been in trouble. then she would have to put her neck on the line and she didn't have to do that very conveniently. next day she slammed notebook shut, no charges, there you go. >> you don't think this was preplanned? you don't think this was leaked? you don't think she had this in mind? of course she did. this was all in the

there was a lot of things when he was hanging out with j edgar hoover that we do not agree with him on the reality is that we are pushing her, too, but also holding her accountable. if there is anybody in that room that feels like bernie s sander, four years from now, we had been betrayed, we would be a very different force to be reckoned with. but t the reality is that we, as progressives, do n not just hava response ability to our ideals, we have a responsibility to people. we need real change, a bernie sanders understands that the way to get real change in this moment is to simply push for the best of the two viable choices we h have and then n hold them accountable. and that is what we are doing, while electing progressives at the local level. amy: i cannot count the number, ondreds, of "ban tpp" signs the floor last night. >> and both candidates said ban tpp. >> they may have said it, and hillary clinton easily moved from one camp to the other. but to have made progress in a nonbinding, voluntary platform re, to my mind, buyer bewa here. i live in a state that has had a great demo

j. edgar hoover. would we want another j. xercise the kind of power that comey exercised in this case? if the answer is no, which i'm sure it is, we have to make structural changes that don't allocate all of this power to the fbi. in this case, the fbi found the facts, applied the law, and exercised discretion and judgment. that's not the proper role of the fbi in a democratic society. >> do you think she should have been indicted? >> no. i don't think it's a close question. >> donald trump likes to liken secretary clinton's e-mail investigation to what happened with general petraeus. >> not even close. he knew he was disclosing classified information and he did it for personal reasons of a sexual or autobiographical nature. he knew. he did the hamlet soliloquy, to be or not to be a felon. he knew. he stepped over the line. he knew he was violating the rules of classification. hillary clinton never had that moment. she never said now i'm crossing a line. she didn't know that lines were being crossed. that's not the basis for c

j. edgar hoover fbi building in downtown washington. and everything you just described, the way this message went out to the media, giving everyone plenty of time to assemble, giving us guidance that he would make a statement but we should not expect him to answer questions, given the timing and the environment we are in politically, it would certainly suggest that this could relate to the e-mail investigation. honestly, we do not know yet. james comey is someone who is very by the book, he is respected by people in both parties. he has served in government for a long time, but also outside government. and he has been sort of in the firing line on very politically charged issues that relate to the conduct of government officials in his history. so he is someone who is steeled to the political pressure. of course, thomas, this also comes after there was so much criticism of the meeting that former president bill clinton had with the current attorney general, loretta lynch, that airport sort of chance meeting as it's been described. it's

now if you cross state lines and it's a federal offense and j edgar hoover said well there was no ransom required. no crime. so seeing what this kind of violence on the black body has done, you saw the civil rights movement deploy the politics of respectability as a way to make visible that the only way, the only reason that you are seeing mrs. amelia yanked onto the concrete in selma is because she's black. this can't be anything but racism. it was a way to say you can't say, you had a criminal record, this is why you see this deployed. the politics of respectability does have some good pieces in it. i'm not one of those who just crops it off as some victorian thing because being sober is not a bad thing. we know that alcohol and drugs destroy families. being sober is not a bad thing. education is a good thing. but what it doesn't do is protect black bodies from white violence. one of the things about charleston, charleston drove drove me to this because i looked at that, than nine who were killed were the model of respectability. esa vicki haley in south carolina going okay that was re

j. edgar hoover days when they would keep tabs on people. not because of alleged crimes but because of their social cultural standing. those files largely are public record. although they will be redacted and you will be looking at the reductions thinking this is crazy. names this person's redacted from 1939 or something like that. but those kinds of things are public. you, when youage are interested in an historical fact to look at foiaing the f.b.i. if you get the many quicker -- than any quicker --the f.b.i. the last two times i have been involved in foia's, they have gotten faster at it, which is shocking. there are all kinds of other things. i had a wonderful colleague i worked with. she is not at the "wall street journal." we were working as investigative reporters and editors. we were going through a data set that is common for journalists to work with. it is a supplemental homicide dataset of every shooting and every death, every killing across the country. we were going through the dataset. you like to be meticulous. you go through

the fbi does keep records, particularly from the j edgar hoover days, when they would keep tabs on people, not because of any alleged crimes, but because of their social or cultural standing. those files actually are public record. although, they will be redacted and you will be looking at the redacted versions of those, thinking, this is crazy. why is this person's name redacted from 1939 or something like that? but those kinds of things are public. guys,would encourage you when you are interested in an historical fact, to look at foia -ing the fbi. get them anydo you quicker -- >> the last two times i have been involved in foia's, they have gotten faster at it, which is shocking. there are all kinds of other things, too. i had a wonderful colleague i worked with. she is now at the "wall street journal." we were working as investigative reporters and editors. we were going through a data set that is pretty common and a standard for journalists to work with. it is a supplemental homicide dataset ofhe every shooting and every death, every killing across the country. we were going through t

j. edgar hoover building which as far as i can tell is something that does not happen very often.a sign of trouble for hillary clinton, sounds like we're going to find out in two weeks. she sat in that conference room with eight fbi agents for 3 1/2 hours. when she came out of that interview, she immediately called chuck todd at msnbc and had this to say about what unfolded. listen. >> i respect the professionalism and integrity of the officials at the department of justice handling this process. i was pleased to have a chance to sit down and answer their questions today to try to help bring this review to a conclusion. i'm not going to go into any more detail than i already have in public many times, as you certainly know, but i have been answering questions now for over a year. i have released more than 55,000 pages of my ales for the public to read for themselves. i will continue to, you know, be as forthcoming as i can. >> and, folks, picking apart those statements and the statement released from her campaign say she's doing these verbal gymnastics, if you hear her, this volun

comey has chosen to politicize the fbi and degrade the fbi more so that be any director since j edgar hoover. it was shocking to me that he arrived at that decision after calling hillary clinton reckless. this is a woman who's going to gain access to the daily brief as soon as she's nominated. he may be right, i don't think he is right, but i understand what he's saying when he says no prosecutor prosecutes this. but what agency would give someone like this a security clearance? what agency of government would allow you to even look at the lowest level classification? it's just shocking turn of events. >> so are you saying that he should have, you know -- he should have come to the conclusion that criminal charges should be brought against? or just the fact that the evidence was so overwhelmingly damming against her and her miss handling and arrogance with this whole thing that it makes her unqualified for the white house? >> i would say both. anyone who deals with classified information learns very early on that foreign government information is classified. she got that forwarded it even in

j. edgar hoover era. ashley: judge napolitano -- >> i don't know where this is going to go.mmittee are going to call me tomorrow, we'll see what happens. ashley: judge napolitano, we look forward to seeing you back here in new york soon. judge, thank you. >> all the best. ashley: all right. now this was a surprise, soccer star lionel messi handed a 21-month prison sentence, a spanish court finding messi and his father guilty of tax fraud. they are said to have used tax havens in south america to hide earnings. messi not expected to serve any actual time behind bars. spanish law states sentences of less than two years can be served under probation. he would have been great on the prison soccer team though.

j. edgar hoover days when they would keep tabs on people, not because of an alleged crimes but because ofir social or cultural standing. those files largely are public record, although they will be redacted and you'll be looking at the redactions of those thinking this is crazy. why is this person's name redacted from 1939, or something like that. those kinds of things are public. i would encourage you guys, when you want, when you interested in a historical fact to look at foia for the fbi. in addition to be getting any quicker -- [inaudible] the fbi actually, the last few times that have been involved in these which is a good couple years ago to gotten faster added, which was shocking. there's all kinds of other things. i had a wonderful colleague who i worked with, she's now at "the wall street journal." we were working together and we're going through a data set that's pretty, instead of a miniature was to work with. it's a supplemental homicide data set. it's the data set of every shooting, after the death, of every homicide, of every killing across the country. we record the data se
