the origins of the mueller probe, his name is james baker. the former fbi general counsel. re when the russia probe started. which later game special counsel mueller probe. he was the top fbi lawyer at james comey' side up until comey's firing. he is one of the few lawyers who worked at the time, as comey continued to be more alarmed by donald trump's behavior, to write down conversations that later became criminal evidence including the infamous loyalty pledge. that's one reason this man's name keeps coming up. >> he says he told the general counsel, james baker. >> we now know comey sent the draft to his deputy director andrew mccabe. general counsel james baker. >> tweeting about james barrack. >> tell just this is important. >> james baker it was top lawyer at the fbi. >> based on testimony by now a former fbi general counsel, james baker. >> joining me for his first interview on "the beat," general counsel james baker. now director of national security at a nonprofit research organization. good evening to you. >> hey, how are you? >> thank you. i'm great. as we all reme

philip james baker versus the united states of america. it's overwhelming. then you face the assistant u.s. attorney as he's looking you in the eye and when you go through that circumstance there are no words that really can describe the depths of the loneliness and few of them. ultimately. completed a plea deal with the united states government. i was sentenced to 20 years. for wire from. bill because a criminal is he the type of financial mastermind that caused the financial crisis absolutely not this is a guy who is was not very sophisticated about his crime was not very. malicious about his crime and but he admitted that he committed a crime this is a classic example of where the justice department takes a shortcut they want to generate publicity for themselves as going after financial drugs and everyone wants them to do that. and yet time and time again the people that they're going after are these little minnows they're not going after the big fish they're not going after the bankers for the most part they're certainly not going after the senior execut

john berman spoke with a former fbi general counsel james baker about what investigators are doing now >> so the main investigative priority is to make sure people are safe, in other words, that there are no other people who were connected to or involved in the violent events that took place sadly today. and so investigators are trying to run down every single possible lead with respect to whether anybody else might have been involved. one of the things that they will do is to go to any locations that were owned, rented by the shooter. for example a house, apartment, storage shed, car, things like that. one of the most dangerous things is that people like this sometimes will booby trap locations like that prks so investigati so investigators have to produce cautiously. so they have to make sure there is no remaining threat to anyone in the community or anywhere else and bring whoever might be involved to justice. probably a low probability, not saying that there were, but safety of the community is what they are worried about most. >> and i know you also have concerned about the waves

my name is philip james baker and i'm the former managing partner of a $1000000000.00 doesn't fund the collapse during the financial crisis. my story is a rise and fall to redemption story. i've been rich. i've been on the top. i've been behind bars. i know what it is to be called a financial criminal. i did my guilt. but non free. and i want to speak out. because of what i saw because i've been there i can tell that if we do nothing . everything can happen again. they had no consequence. the titans of wall street basically faced nothing. for my life i went to prison and. some people would say well you know what you did wrong it's fair it's just argument could be i don't agree. but what about the people in the titans of wall street. the business started in the basement of my parents and this company grew to be a $1000000000.00 company. it was a hedge fund farm. built a fair set up a hedge fund designed to trade in commodities. prices of oil coal things like that it was a market or he was the client. he was the one who would go out to wealthy individuals or institutions and get them put

say called right now but i still think it's probably likely we will get one in the coming days ok james baker thank you and the u.k. has rolled out the red carpet for donald trump but he's already ruffled feathers with controversial comments about the london mayor and the conservative leader separates so out on the streets protesting as are voicing their own feelings about the u.s. leader now dean barbour has more from london. he's finally got his state visits but a warm welcome might be too much to expect as president trump's helicopter arrived at buckingham palace the crowds are gathered and the protesters were getting ready trumps getting the full honors including lunch with the head of state queen elizabeth and other members of the royal family the original offer of a state visit at the behest of prime minister to reason may came soon after donald trump took office but now she's on her way out he's already broken protocol by backing former foreign secretary boris johnson to replace her. and is trump a right to use social media to call london's elected mayor city can a stone cold loser of

the fbi's former top lawyer general counsel james baker emails a half dozen executives three months beforeial election. the email state, i just spoke with david kendall. i conveyed that to obtain the document they are seeking they need to send a requeat through foia. i said okay. last week hillary clinton during an address to graduates appears to mock the trump administration. >> what do we do when people in positions of authority are not held accountable when they deny requests from the congress in when they spread misinformation online. catherine: the up spector general found multiple violations. in the alleged surveillance abuse during the 2016 campaign. liz: it shows the fbi gave cozy special treatment to hillary clinton releasing material to hillary clinton's lawyers. james comey is slamming bill a.m. bar's appearance on cbs news. tweeting out bill a.m. bar offered no facts. he should not be echoing conspiracy theories. he should gather facts and show them. this as the attorney general continues to push ahead. here is what attorney general barr said during a recent cbs interview. quot

the e-mails also reveal how then fbi general counsel, james baker, ordered the bureau to expedite requests from hillary clinton's attorneys writing, quote, in my view, we need to move as quickly as possible. in other words, tonight we were right all along, yes, the investigation to hillary clinton was rigged, the fix was in. comey and loretta lynch were always going to clear hillary clinton, their chosen candidate, of all of the charges as quickly as possible so she could claim her rightful throne. as sara carter put it, the investigation was a total and complete joke and that's why comey struck and others authored hillary clinton's exoneration letter, that happened in may of 2016 before that happened. hillary or 17 other key witnesses. they changed the language, significant from the legal standard of gross negligence using the words "extreme carelessne carelessness" that has no weight in the legal world. while comey's inner circle is working to clear hillary clinton as soon as possible, they made a huge mistake. they accidentally granted clinton's attorneys access to top secret classified

philip james baker versus the united states of america. it's overwhelming. then you face the assistant u.s. attorney as he's looking you in the eye and when you go through that circumstance there are no words that really can describe the depths of the loneliness and feel of the moment. ultimately. completed a plea deal with the united states government. i was sentenced to 20 years. for a wire from. bill because a criminal is he the type of financial mastermind that caused the financial crisis absolutely not this is a guy who is was not very sophisticated about his crime was not very. malicious about his crime and but he admitted that he committed a crime this is a classic example of where the justice department exits shortcut they want to generate publicity for themselves as going after financial drugs and everyone wants them to do that. and yet time and time again the people that they're going after are the little mini. they're going after the big fish are not going after the bankers for the most part they're certainly not going after the senior executives

your point about james baker highlights the extent to which under james comey leadership the f.b.i. wasn't conducting the investigations and looking for the truth. they were trying to shape public opinion. and i think most notably the corrupt origins of the investigation inside the obama white house. where we weren't just violating the rights of our own citizens but britain and others that we could haven't done in the united states. that's bad news. >> i want to get back to kolinick. you are on the hill and you see what is going on every day. do you sense the tide is turning feeling on the hill where the democrats realize there is something going on here? that there was clearly, this was not, to quote susan rice "by the book f.b.i. investigation here." listen, your colleagues up on the hill are the democrats. we may not agree with them but they are not stupid. they have to know there were severe abnormalities here. are they worrying that this is coming out and it may rebound on them? >> something they worry about is the authority that barr has with respect with the declassification.

joining me now is james baker, former general counsel for the fbi and elliot williams. counsel, what goes through your mind when you hear the president make light of russia's election interference while sitting next to the man responsible for it. >> it's shocking, but there have been so many shocking things that have happened over the past couple of years, starting with firing james comey because the president didn't like this particular investigation. the russians -- the russian government and vladimir putin, they are the enemy of the united states, they are the enemy of the people. they are the ones who in director mueller's words, engaged in a concerted attack on our political system through military and intelligence elements of the russian government. they are the enemy that we should be worried about. it's good for the president to have effective working relationships with foreign leaders, but when it comes to somebody who has done the kinds of things that vladimir putin has with respect to our country and the fundamentals of our democracy, this should be just unac

and destabilizing measures in the already volatile region of the persian gulf diplomatic editor james baker in item nations i'm joined now in the studio by a visiting fellow at nottingham university center for conflict security and terrorism so both iran in the pentagon have released footage of the drone shooting and they seem to have both agreed on the type of surveillance act craft that was. shot down here but crucially it does not reveal the location of the drug no it doesn't the track of the drone is is the important thing it isn't necessarily where it was shot down it is where it was before it was shot down at the point of big agent so we don't have that evidence from either side to corroborate the very divergent positions. iran's foreign minister mohammad javad zarif has provided what he says precise coordinates of the triune itself now how does that work is it possible to verify information like that it will it could be if you can provide the source data where it comes from so if they for example provide a radar track that gives coordinates that show that it was over radiated space a

support from gulf states to back it sanctions and tough stance on iran and as our diplomatic editor james baker reports from the united nations for some there are echoes of a previous u.s. push for war. tensions are rising the u.s. is building up its forces in the gulf there are threatening voices coming from both sides on the face of it it feels similar to the build up to the invasion of iraq in 2003 a war that devastated the country and destabilize the region one advisor who advocated strongly for war 16 years ago now has an even more powerful position john bolton is president trumps national security adviser but this time around as he builds a case against iran he finds even less international support than the u.s. had for its campaign against saddam hussein carne ross is a former british diplomat who resigned over the iraq war. it had far more diplomatic cover and it had support from the u.k. and other allies i mean the coalition in support of the invasion of 2003 you know may not have included france but it included a lot of other countries reluctantly or willingly and willingly went along

be a broad coalition in terms of the fact you have members that are eurosceptic, steve baker, but you also have jamestly risky, borisjohnson should be doing it but it is tricky, he will be pressed on exactly what his brexit plans are, how he plans to deliver it. i think when you get into the detail, you do wonder how you keep all of those people on site. lets leave the tories for a minute. let's look at labour. we are going to get an intervention, another, from tom watson. really quite unarticulated push. is it going to take the party anyway? —— really quite an articulated push. we knew that he was one of the people asking for a second referendum. one of the problem is that tom watson has in his internal debate, he is a polarising figure because of his i’ows polarising figure because of his rows with jeremy corbyn, he is a difficult rally in figure four labour's remainers, which is the majority tendency in the party. a more important thing that is happening at the moment is the emotion of going round the constituency labour party and saying it is time to move to a second referendum. it's difficult as
