james clapper, i want to start with you because you area director of national intelligence when somerst questions, start tock raised about trump campaign officials and operatives, their activities, what were they doing? why were they talking to russian snooze now th ? now that robert mueller has come out and said they will not be charged for any crime or sp conspiracy of coordination of crimes, are you surprised? >> actually not. as lisa can attest, all of us in the administration that were in a position to observe this were concerned about numerous meetings from -- with members -- between members of the trump campaign and the russians. but i do want to point out that in our intelligence community assessment that we rendered on the 6th of january of 2017 and briefed then president-elect trump at trump tower, we did not address anything about collusion because we said we didn't have any evidence of it at the time. so this is not terribly surprising. again, you know, it's kind of like hanging chad in florida, it leaves you with some unanswered questions, though, about the rational for

james clapper. director, thank you so much.ey general says that he is in the process of identifying potentially compromising, sensitive sources and methods to redact from the mueller report. what kind of information could that include? >> well, don, i would take a cue from the two key indictments, at least for me, that mueller issued in february and july of last year. the one in february was the internet -- about the internet research agency, and the one in july was about the gru officers, the russian military intelligence organization, and included indictments of 12 gru officers. and i was really taken aback by the level of detail in those two indictments. a lot of fidelity, which kind of surprised me. now, if that's the bar that's used, i don't think -- and i think this is one case that calls for a very liberal interpretation of protecting sources and methods. and so if this report is 400 pages long, i would expect and hope that much of it is about the russian interference, which apart from the president's culpability for col

john brennan, and james clapper have all done it.ple things are happening, because the democrats are falling for these kinds of hoaxes. that is a coup d'etat stuff. why do progressive journalists do this? it is about money. it is more stories about bad orange man, more clicks and views, book deals and so forth, then democratic politicians, why are they doing it? more of that stuff means more fear. that means panic, hysteria. that brings intonations and votes. that is the short answer to your question, but actually, i think there is something bigger happening here that actually is more frightening to me. that is, as a party, we are telling you through these hoaxes, that you are a victim. whether it be the smollett case, the covington case, if you are a victim that you belong to us. even if you haven't been a victim, you will be at some point. that, i think, is the underlying issue. since we have embraced identity politics, we have to get people to the polls based on fear, panic, and that is the stuff -- we 11 will be gone in two or si

now with james clapper, thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> on this issueration officials prior to nielsen's testimony yesterday admitted in public numerous times sessions did this, kelly and others that the family separation zero tolerance policy was intended to deter asylum seekers. when you look at issues like parents being sent home without children and there is confusion over whether they had the choice, whether it should be made as a mistake by the administration or an intended part of the policy. >> i don't know, jim. this is a complex and charged situation emotionally. in fairness and i'm thinking about the people in the trenches at the border trying to deal with this. as opposed to what the politicians back here in the beltway and in washington say. under any circumstance of forced separation of children, particularly if the parents haven't consented to it is egregious. that was the policy, particularly with the prior attorney general. the administration would be well served to clear that up and state that's not the policy. >> nielsen in her testim

james clapper, the former dni went on tv today and said he's not aware of this ever happening before. >> you're saying, there's no special favor there. maybe get a job at hhs or something where you don't have to have clearance but it's just not done that you override in this way. >> it is just not done and chris, let's put this in the broader context of how this president handles security matters. he's held national security meetings in front of mar-a-lago guests and disclosed qualified information to the russian foreign minister, to fundraisers and revoked the security clearances of his political opponents and on top of that, ran an entire campaign on the baseless allegation the opponent misused classified information. this is hypocritical in the extreme. >> don mcgahn and john kelly so alarmed by the decision or determined to cover their own reputations they both wrote contemporaneous memos saying donald trump did this. the president, the national security state we've erected, basically post 1945, the system that's metastasized, all run by the president at the top. who gives or take

we have james clapper saying the mueller report, he's not surprised by this. g about obstruction, one final point, is this. the democrats are now going to try to pursue obstruction but james comey, andrew mccabe, they all testified to congress that no one in the trump white house tried to obstruct their investigation. >> treason is a charge which has been handled so lightly over the last two years. it carries a capital penalty. life in prison, the death penalty. it's being dropped on the president for two years. it hasn't been addressed yet by the stations that have done it. liz: great to see you. thanks for coming in. >>> coming up, yet another caravan of up to 1200 now heading to the border. we will have former obama border chief mark morgan to react, next. yes! i just wanted to show you something i've been wor... ♪ james r. and associates. anna speaking... ♪ james r. and associates. anna. ♪ [phone ringing] baker architects. this is anna baker. at northwestern mutual, this is what our version of financial planning looks like. tomorrow is important, but you're

what about the role of obama intelligence people here, john brennan, former cia director, james clapperdirector of national intelligence. they were fanning the narrative using words like treason in brennan's case. what account able foability form should we get. >> it's the adam schiff problem. people essentially abusing their access to classified data to then go out i in public, with pe assuming they know all the facts, make allegations that didn't prove to be true. i think there should be accountability there and above that level we have to know where did this go. you look at the decision to investigate a political rifle that doesn't look like a middle manager decision. who made it. paul: when we come back the battle over obamacare heats up again as the trump administration reverses course and says the entire affordable care act should be thrown out. so is that a winning political strategy heading into the 2020 campaign? how do you gauge the greatness of an suv? is it to carry cargo... or to carry on a legacy? its show of strength... or its sign of intelligence? in crossing harsh terra

comey, but more importantly, i think that john brennan, the former director of the cia, i think james clapper, the former director of national intelligence, they need to be investigated, as well. we need to know how much they knew and when they knew it, and that is so vitally important to getting to the truth here, because they have spread so much disinformation about the trump administration and about the campaign, and if we were worried about russians, we should have been more worried about what our own intelligence community was doing. >> sean: you all have been amazing, i'm sorry i went aalong. we will have a mini monologue on the smollett fiasco. these guys have been great. straight ahead. ♪ when we started our business we were paying an arm and a leg for postage. i remember setting up shipstation. one or two clicks and everything was up and running. i was printing out labels and saving money. shipstation saves us so much time. it makes it really easy and seamless. pick an order, print everything you need, slap the label onto the box, and it's ready to go. our costs for shipping were cut
