j. edgar hoover. >> the fbi had this material for a long time. he kept comey, who is, of course, a republican, refused to divulge this information in the presidential election. he violated the orders of attorney general, president and good taste by getting involved in the election like he had. i am so disappointed in comey. he has let the country down for partisan purposes. that's why i called him the new j. edgar hoover. >> the trump transition team issued this defiant statement discrediting not just claims but the entire cia. >> these are the same people that said saddam hussein had weapons of mass destruction. the election ended a long time ago in one of the biggest electoral college victories in history. it is now time to move on and make america great again. let's talk with elise. the cia not commenting publicly. you have spoken to your sources personally within the agency. do they foresee this becoming a feud between donald trump and the us intelligence community? >> i think it is too soon to tell, boris. obviously, in making this statement

when nixon was elected, he had to meet with j edgar hoover. the first week or so of december was the first time that j edgar hoover was on national television, the black panthers are the threat to the security of america. the black panthers, the only reason they have guns is to come into what communities and shoot and kill white people. we were running up and down the streets and protesting with thousands of our radical friends. this was a great counterterrorist program. when he did that in december, i called a retreat because my organization from the time what luther king was killed to the day that nixon was elected, before martin luther king was killed there were no chapters across the country. none, i am telling you. he was killed, and young black brothers and sisters all over this country flooded my organization. my organization jumped from 400 members to 5000 members and 49 chapters throughout america. i went to every last one of those chapters. i taught them their classes. i taught them grassroots organizing. the fact that we have to do

j edgar hoover says the fbi broke the case. but the case was handed to them. did the fbi ever do an investigation where it tracked down people that did not walk in and surrender? [laughter] >> there are other cases, but they are much more minor characters and what's his name's book -- i'm blanking on the author -- it goes into the gimbal case. a lot of them were like this. a lot of them were stumble cases. a lot of these guys were not going to get far and bombing war factories in the united states was not going to work. a lot of them were clowns. >> not to step in but i think the audience would be interested to know what you are working on next because i was when you told me. >> kind of a volume three on a nazi resistance tail. -- tale. the first one is an armed jewish resistance that saved 1200 jews from the nazis, really from the furnace. this one a little more distance before the war happens and a story of physical courage and really overcoming his own reluctance to perform this extraordinary feat for his adopted country. the third one, the one i'm working

j. edgar hoover. how did you know about that? [inaudible]. everybody was saying this is only -- and he called him a black homosexual communist and he has to be, he has to be followed. he was not a communist. i think j. edgar hoover should have come out of the closet as -- [laughter] people like "rolling stone"'s gift tart it, bill wyman was a good friend of him and good picture of them together in the book. the book has 50 photos which traced his earliest days there with carol. daniel and other people, simone, and right up to his burial in new york and at saint-paul divine cathedral. while taking distance from america he retain ad love love-hate relationship. he always helped very american. he said i can't be an expatriate. that is only for white people because i have a lot of baggage with me with my, the family history and heritage and don't forget, i was the grand son of a slave. he ails felt this double-sided relationship. he finally became he became, as he called himself, i'm a small ugly, gay black american as he described himself. he wa

j. edgar hoover. >> the trump issued this statement discrediting the claims but the entire cia. they write these are the same people who said -- the election ended a long time ago in one of the biggest electoral victories in history. it's time to move on and make america great again. meantime, president obama is ordering a full review to investigate whether russian hacking affected the outcome. joining us cnn global affairs correspondent. the cia is not commenting on the matter. do you and the sources you have spoken to see this potentially fueling a feud between the president of the united states and one of the country's most vital intelligence agencies? >> well, boris, i think it remains to be seen if this is an isolated incident about this particular charges on the election. i think the trump transition and president-elect himself is very sensitive to any implication that he didn't win the election fair and square. and to be fair here, this investigation that president obama has ordered is not necessarily about whether russia actually affected the election. i just spoke to a

j. edgar hoover. the dispatches were vaguely worded or outright fictitious. with this siebold's context grew even wider. in november of 1940, the center port station seefeld a message from hamburg wondering if siebold could set up an account in a new york bank to which germany could wire funds to pay the spies. the fbi responded five days later, quote, since i have good connections in diesel lines, i recommend opening a small research office licensed business fame and suitable space present no difficulties as research offices continually need money. you can send me a large amount. yes. the response came from germany. quote, we are in agreement. open office immediately. advise when and where you want remittance sent and the highest amount possible for you to handle without suspicion. so this gentleman, siebold with the help of the fbi was now the paymasterer of a spy ring, a direct contact via the -- wasn't necessary to rely on the slow passage of passenger liners and couriers coming from germany. they had direct radio contact. this thing was really opening up

j. edgar hoover. [inaudible] it's been confirmed now. everybody was saying this is only -- and he called him a black homosexual communist, and he had to be, he had to be followed. he was not a communist. i think j. edgar hoover should have come out of the closet at that moment. [laughter] people like the rolling stones guitarist bill weimann was a good friend of his, and there's a picture of him in the book. the pictures trace his earliest dales with carol -- days with carol right up to his burial here in new york at st. john divine, at the cathedral. i think while taking distance from america, he retained a love/hate relationship. he always felt very american. he said i can't be an expatriot, that's only for -- expate rat, that's only for white people because i have a lot of baggage with the family history and don't forget i was the grandson of a slave. so he always felt this double-sided relationship. and he finally became, as he called himself, he always said i'm a small, ugly, gay black american, as he liked to describe himself. but

j. edgar hoover. let's listen. >> i did not believe that comey was the new j. edgar hoover.ht that he would do the right thing for the country. you know, this is clear. we've all read the press the last few days. the fbi had this material for a long time. comey, who's, you know, of course, a republican, refused to divulge this information. he violated the orders of the attorney general, president, and good taste. >> you believe that jim comey, the fbi director, had this information and deliberately withheld it from the american people before the election. is that your contention? >> that's right. that is true. >> joining me right now is msnbc political analyst and nevada politics expert, john ralston. also anne gearan of "the washington post." john, i want to ask you about this guy, reid. he has -- he's firing in both directions. he said the fbi talked because they wanted to help trump. the cia didn't talk because they wanted to help trump. they're all in cahoots. this is a pretty strong claim of partisanship, not institutional purpose, but partisan republican behavior. he c

all based on super essential evidence but when j edgar hoover himself was convinced that go was not aspy, president roosevelt intervened with the observation of miss arvad to be covered under surveillance and have her phone, mail open. it was a remarkable thing . >> you're the author of two other books on kennedy and reagan, why their legacies and door and almost president, a man that lost the race but changed the nation. what do you think the legacy will be of president obama's administration and how do you think this past election cycle has affected the united states? >> resident obama's legacy will be overturned over the coming years. as our first african-american president his legacy is secure in that regard but the most important thing he did is probably what he did following the great financial crisis of 2008 2009. most americans are not aware how close we came to not only having a great recession but a great depression and history will be kind to him on that. the other great accomplishment was obamacare and the question is is that a steppingstone to healthcare reforms people wi

interestingly j edgar hoover himself was convinced inga was not a spy. president roosevelt intervened and directed him to continue the observation and covert surveillance and have her phone, it was a remarkable thing. >> host: you are the author of two other books, kennedy and reagan, why their legacies and/or and almost president, the men who lost the race the change the nation. what do you think the legacy will be of president obama's administration and how do you think the past election cycle has affected the united states? >> guest: president obama's legacy will be turned term over coming years we do have our first african american president his legacy is pretty secure and that regarding the historical figure. the most important thing he did was what he did following the great financial crisis of 2008-2009. i think most americans are not aware how close we came not really to having a great recession but a great depression. i think history will be kind to him on that was the other great accompaniment of his presidency was probably obamacare and the qu

we would point out that j edgar hoover spanned many presidents. he outlived everybody. this is controversial. this is what i'm hearing from the key transition team. it is talking about this. his spokesman says no. it looks like he is thinking about life after james comey. given what happened in the election. i don't think we will hear a secretary of state choice. he does had people he he's ruminating about. >> i'm glad you bring up a bill clinton. it was at william sessions. and so i was right about that one. go ahead. a charming individual. but it can be done certainly. call me was in a very difficult position. >> i think he can make the case that he did it handle it that well. the evidence about using it in the lot was pretty plain. then if you're to give her a pass and then reopen it at the last minute and throw this thing out there there's something wrong. and the problem with call me his both democrats and republicans thinking he is competent. there is a lot going on here. i like everything independently. and by the way i'm wearing leopard skin underwear. thank you

j. edgar hoover. >> do you think jim comey should resign? >> he has a term there and i'm sure he's got the new administration, they should like him, he helped them get elected. >> and do you believe the justice department should take action against jim comey, at the end of the day, he works for attorney general loretta lynch, should she try to have him removed. >> there's not enough time to do that, that would be a gesture in futility. >> and do you believe that jim comey's actions should be investigated by the united states senate? >> i think he should be investigated by the senate, i think he should be investigated by other agencies of the government, including the security agencies because if there were ever a matter of security, it's this. it's clear, it's so clear. you look at the accounts we have, just in the press the last few days, it's stunning the conclusions reached by the press. thank goodness we have got them still around. this is not fake news, okay? intelligence agencies have connection to the russian government there,'s no do

director j edgar hoover, who took personal offense at this cartoon and eventually ordered mauldin placedurveillance. this cartoon is a man in a bus holding a newspaper, the headline is "still no clues on lynchers of four in georgia." this is a reference to i think the last mass lynching in america, 1946, four veterans, one of whom was a veteran of the pacific war. the f.b.i. was accused of draging their feet in the investigation and the caption was "i see the f.b.i. cleared up another big postage stamp robbery." there would be no classic happy ending for bill. he simply got used to disillusion. "it's very tough to live in this country and cling to young ideals," he lamented. the deepening conflict between the united states and the soviet union cast a pall on his hopes for a brighter future. he still detested red-baiting but he increasingly blamed the soviets for the gloomy world by the end of 1946, america would be on the verge of giving this burgeoning stand ive name -- the cold war. loyalty tests, domestic snooping, and i massive new arms race would soon follow. in april 1948 when his

j. edgar hoover. i thought that he would do the right thing for the country. comey, who is a republican, refused to divulge this information regarding russia and the presidential election. >> do you believe jim comey should resign, senator reid? >> of course, yes. >> it's important to point out comey was appointed by president obama who is a democrat. tough words from reid and jim schumer the incoming democratic leader in the senate says the wants to go into bipartisan investigations into russian h k hacking. i talked to lindsey graham he and john mccain, also a republican are working into investigations into russia and said he wants personal sanctions on vladimir putin and his personal circle if the evidence stacks up against him. >> i don't want to speculate but you've been covering this campaign and a while. there are critic who say there is a timing and strategy rele e releasing this pick here. in the midst of all this news with the russian hacking, do you think there's anything to that speculation he's trying to change the topic of conversation although i

j. edgar hoover. listen. >> the fbi had this material for a long time. but he, comey, who is of course a republican, refused to divulge this information regarding russia and the presidential election. he violated the orders of the attorney general, president and good taste by getting involved in that. but he would not let well enough alone. >> meantime the trump transition team issued this defiant statement discrediting not just the claims but the entire cia. listen to this, quote, these are the same people that said sue d -- victories in history. it's now time to move on and make america great again t meantime, president obama is ordering a full review to investigation whether russian hacking affected the elections outcome and he wants that done before january 20th, the day of trump's inauguration. a spokesman for the kremlin tells cnn there is no evidence russians hacked democratic groups. talk about this with global affairs kopgs, obviously the cia not commented on the matter. what are you hearing about this evidence? how strong is this evidence? >> r

because we now have the lindbergh law that if you cross federal lines is a federal offense and j edgar hoover said there was no ransom required, no crime. so, seeing what this kind of violence on the blackbody has done. we 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 boynton yanked onto the concrete in selma, it's because she's black. this can't be anything but racism, so it was a way to say you had a criminal record and so 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's justt pops it off as some kind of victorian thing because being sober is not a bad thing. we know alcohol and drugs destroy families. of being sober is not a bad thing. education is a good thing, but what it doesn't do is protecttet black bodies from white violence , so i look one of the things about charleston. charleston drove me to thisch because i look at that because the nine who were killed were the models of respectability. you

j. edgar hoover hated eleanor roosevelt.and her fbi files, which we got through the freedom of information act, are unbelievable. he hates her personally, and he calls her "that old cow." he actually has lines, "the old cow is at it again." and shes has friends who are communists, and "the old cow" is meeting with the communists. now, every immigrationist, every civil rights leader has -- [inaudible] all the great southern, white integrationists were attacked by john edgar hoover and called communists. who else would be for integration except a communist? and, of course, none of them were. virginia derr? i mean, please. anyway -- >> so you're hopeful. >> i'm hopeful, but who the hell promoted this man to new fbi head? i mean, he was george woodbridge's appointment. what's he doing here, and why is he doing it, and why isn't he being removed instead of her, hillary clinton, being hounded? it's really aggravating. in my opinion.

j. edgar hoover's name off that government building. it didn't work. we had a vote here. i can remember how mad orrin hatch was. we had a vote on it. i made a mistake. i tried to get it named after bobby kennedy. anyway, mccarren airport, it is i think the fifth busiest airport in america now. we've gotten money for the traffic control center. one of the largest structures in the western united states. we've done a good job to take care of mack mack mack -- take care of mccarren. the last thing we put in that was the bonding capacity to allow the field to build a big new terminal. more than $1 billion we got in that legislation. it was really important during the recession to have all those workers. there are thousands and thousands of them on that new terminal which is now completed. reno, i was also able to direct money toward getting a new traffic control center there, new control tower. we've done all the construction funding, a lot of stuff, good stuff for the airport in reno. so i feel good about what we've done to help nevada transportation, not the least of which

espionage network in the us based on circumstantial evidence that turned out not to be corrected but j edgar hoover was convinced she was not a spy. president roosevelt intervened, continuing the observation to be under surveillance and have her phone taps, apartment bugged, a remarkable thing. >> you are the author of two of the books, kennedy and reagan, why there legacies and door and the man who lost the race for change the nation. what do you think the legacy will be of president obama's administration and how the past election cycle has affected the united states? >> president obama's legacy will be determined over coming years which as our first african american president his legacy is secure in that regard as a historical figure is the most important thing he did was what he did following the great financial crisis of 2008-2009. most americans are not aware how close we came not to a great recession the great depression. history will be kind to him on that. the of the great accomplish what was obamacare. the question is, is that a steppingstone to other healthcare reform people will view as

you can have a sort of digital version of a j edgar hoover style enemies list by sending locations such as protests, religious surmise and begin thinking about the type of surveillance with seat in the past decade that is the most objectionable surveillance of black lives matter protesters, surveillance of mosque and muslim community. it's not hard to imagine. even if we don't have this type of dystopian future with these groups become targeted, the mere threat poses a strong chilling effect the imagine if you plan to go to protest and see a police officer. their goal is to keep the peace to make sure everything works right. they have a body camera. the purpose of that is to make sure they are acting properly, they are accountable for everything they do. if you know the body camera is recording you and can scan your face and then to use that information by law enforcement in some way, are you potential of the less inclined to go there? are you going to second-guess that type of basic first amendment speech? so again we think in this context, developing face print from body cameras it sh

j. edgar hoover. i thought that he would do the right thing for the country. comey who is, of course, a republican, refused to divulge this information on russia and the presidential election. >> do you believe jim comey should resign, senator reid? >> of course, yes. >> good morning and welcome to "a.m. joy." okay. this is how bold donald trump is. just an hour after my interview with outgoing senate minority leader harry reid on allegations that russia intervened in the u.s. elections that helped donald trump win, andrea mitchell told us secretary of state will be putin pal rex tillerson. he's known putin since he represented interestses in the 1980s and he also broerked a multi-billion dollar oil deal with russia, eventually blocked by sanctions imposed by the u.s. and its allies in response to russia's aggression to ukraine, sanctions which tillerson oppose. here's the besties toasting their lucrative friendship back in 2013. tillerson is just the late on a long list of trump advisers who have moscow ties, trump security adviser mike flynn who gave a speec

you could have a sort of digital version of a j edgar hoover style enemies list by sending cops to location such as protesting religious ceremonies. thinking about the type of surveillance we've seen in the past decade that is the most objectionable, surveillance of black class meta-protesters come surveillance of surveillance of mosques and muslim communities. it's not hard to imagine the worst this could plant today. and even if we don't have this type of dystopian future, the mere threat poses a strong chilling threat. imagine if you plan to go to protest into police officer. their goal is to keep the peace to make sure everything works right. they have a body camera. the purpose is to make sure that they are acting probably probaby are accountable for everything they do. if you are the body camera is recording you and can later use to scan your face and then use that information by law enforcement in some way are you potential of the less inclined to go the? are you going to second-guess the type of basic first amendment speech? so again we think in this context, developing face prints

the fbi's radicalization, radical is division was formed in the early 1900s led by a young j edgar hoover this isn't a new phenomenon, this idea that if we can suppress the bad ideas we don't like, somehow the pilots will resolve. there is no evidence of that. the evidence shows the opposite, by trying to suppress the ideas you actually open up the argument for somebody who wants to commit an act of violence. >> to build on that point briefly from a historical standpoint i use the assassination of the late president william mckinley as an example. .. you still had the telegraph, newspapers and within a few years of the act being passed yet pretty widespread use of telephones at least in government and elsewhere and it did not stop anarchism in the united states and i would argue that demand and the governments attempt to suppress the idea actually made it kind of a for bidden fruit from a personal standpoint and you ultimately did get a second wave of antichrist in the 1929 period. and then you talk about these ideas about trying to suppress speech, ideas and things of that nature and our

j. edgar hoover's ghost readers frame bed african-american history, the scope of these writers is one thatctually describes the entire trajectory towards freedom. what i mean by that is that we all know that all over the world and throughout the planet that african-american art and music has inspired liberation struggles globally, all over world. so it is contained within this letture, and that is why -- literature, and that is why the fbi took so much assiduous care in analyzing it, in disrupting it, in destabilizing it. and eventually along the way with some sort of version of literary black face, writing it themselves. it's a shame that this book has not received more attention here in the united states. but i suspect that part of that lack of critical reception has to do with not only that these programs continue to go on, but the stark mirror image of what's taking place in terms of surveillance of artists and writers and intellectuals is taking place now. one of the revelations arrives out of this book was that at one time several dozen black american writers, including ishmael, were

j. edgar hoover style enemies list by sending cops to religious ceremony, protests. thinking about the type of surveillance we've seen in the last decade that has been most objectionable, surveillance of black list matters, muslim communities. either not hard to figure how this could play out. if we don't have dystopian future where they get targeted for mass surveillance. it's a chilling effect. imagine you go to a protest. you see a police officer there. their goal is to keep the peace, make sure everything works right. they have a body camera. the purpose of the body camera making sure they are acting properly, accountable for everything they do. if you know that body camera is recording you and can be used to scan your face to catalog the fact you're at a protest and use that information in some way are you potentially a little less inclined to go there? are you going to second-guess that basic type of first amendment speech. again, we think in this context developing face prints from body cameras, it should require judicial approval, should be based on probable
