guarantee that's what bob mueller will look at and the senate committee as well. >> you heard malcolm nance who feels a personal professional insult. this is his life's work. intelligence and counter intelligence. he has been on the air with us a million time and in a state of belief that we are having this conversation. the notion of pulling the security clearance while there question marks here and while an investigation is going on. is that realistic? >> i would only mention the fact that there were omissions on the form you do for the office of personnel management for high security. having been a veteran and gone through those forms many times where they are asking you about every conversation you had with everything with a foreign accent. that is a very troubling thing just in and of itself. that is the form that gives you security clearance. if they find that you have been misrepresented things on that form, you shouldn't have security clearance. if this was anyone else, would he lose his job? >> i don't know. it depends on what the underlying conversations were. if in fact he said i

i want to bring in now to this conversation malcolm nance, terrorism analyst and a great help to us on nights like this. thank you for being with us tonight. i appreciate your time. >> glad i could help out. >> malcolm, we obviously know what we know about this, which is not much. i always expect that what we think we know will change, but we know enough to know this is terrible. we have dozens reported injured. we know the venue was filled with a lot of 11, 12, 13, 14-year-old girls and young people. that was basically the target audience for an ariana grande show. we're also told that the working hypothesis is suicide bomber. can you tell us what we should be looking at in terms of trying to nail down what really happened here, and if there's other attacks like this that this reminds you of. >> it certainly reminds me of over attacks, if it turns out to be a suicide bomber at a large venue. one is the the bataclan incident in france where two suicide bombers attacked the stadium of france during a major game which much even the french president. one suicide bomber went up to a securi

this story tonight, listen to our own intelligence expert, a veteran of many years in the field, malcolm nance. >> some of these contacts are so suspicious that they would have warranted their own counter-intelligence investigation. this nation is in a counter-intelligence investigation. they are in a spy hunt over at the fbi. and now we have this story. should it prove true, of an american citizen who is the senior adviser to the president of the united states attempting to establish what we call in the intelligence community covert communications with a hostile nation's potential intelligence agency or senior leadership? that brings you -- that crosses the line to the espionage act of 1917. this cannot be explained. put aside the other 18 contacts with moscow. this one incident requires jared kushner and all of his immediate staff to have their clearances pulled right now and to have the fbi descend on there and determine whether this is hostile intelligence in the white house, one step from the president. >> there you have it, jeremy bash. how serious is this in your eyes, if true? >> well,

malcolm nance, author of "the plot to hack america." a senior advisor at the state department, ron klain, and michael schmidt. michael, your paper was the one that first reported that this intelligence came from israel. elaborate on that. >> well, obviously the zerldz a israelis are very important to us in that region because they can do things that the united states can't. they have proximity that the united states doesn't. but the interesting thing here is actually if you look back at the campaign, the issue of the disclosure of classified information that mr. trump and his national security -- early national security advisor mr. flynn made about hillary clinton, there was never any evidence that anything that hillary clinton had, her mishandling of classified information, was ever disclosed publicly. and now this administration's forced to explain how it disclosed this information. so it is a bit embarrassing. >> michael, you're absolutely right. it was a key component of donald trump's campaign, that hillary clinton might have leake

joining me now, a former ambassador to nato, and malcolm nance, msnbc trim analyst. as someone who is familiar with diplomacy, familiar with international relations, and the protocols by which governments talk to each other, perhaps incoming governments may talk to each other, what do you make of this story? >> well, it's a remarkable story, and as the press and the investigators figure out what was happening, we will get to the bottom of it. it is true that during transitions, i was a member of the obama/biden transition in '08-'09, that during transitions it is not unheard of for incoming officials to have contact with foreign governments. certainly that happened in our case. we did it with allies. we talked to the french and the brits and the germans, and it might be appropriate to have one or so conversations with other countries, including an important country like russia. the idea of establishing a separate, outside the mainstream communication channel, which is what is reported in "the washington post," really is something different. it takes a president-elect

malcolm nance is was and on the set with me today, a power powerful, a former fbi assistant director, reporteder for the guardian and national political correspondent for the washington post. let's great to it. this is a routinely scheduled hearing but at an anything but routine time. what are we expecting here? >> reporter: you're absolutely right. the first testimony from fbi director james comey since the march hearing when he did divulge very carefully without giving statement beyond the simple statement that the fbi was investigating alleged russian meddling into the 2016 presidential election. there are going to be a lot of questions about that from both sides of the aisle. you're right. i'm here outside the senate room. the judiciary committee with a standard oversight committee raerg. very auspicious given everything that's happened, given the fact that hillary clinton spoke yesterday and laid much of the blame for her defeat at the feet of the fbi director. he just walked into the room. didn't have a comment. it's all against the backdrop. continuing to tweet is donald trump,

and malcolm nance, a counterterror and intel analyst. a loft questions looming over flynn as each day we get other pieces of the puzzle. what are you looking at as the key questions congress still wants him to answer? >> well, you know, i think obviously the questions of whether or not he communicated with people in russia that wound up being connected to the attacks on the election. i think that is the $64 million question. we know he has this affinity. we know he did that december 2015 rt dinner where he sat at putin's table. and we know after being turfed out at the defense intelligence agency he became a prime target for golden financial opportunities he could get in russia and obviously with turkey. so his business dealings made him vulnerable. and i think you understand that paul manafort obviously vulnerable for similar reasons. he had done business with oligarchs in ukraine. with michael flynn that he was eagerly seek immunity means he understands he is in great deal of legal jeopardy based on not telling the truth on his forms,

our terror analyst malcolm nances a new questions about that. let's play that. >> why would he want to hide, covert, his communications from the u.s. government? that right there alone is covert communications. that is indicative of espionage activity of an american citizen that is working in league with a hostile government. >> so he goes on to say in that statement, elise, that there's a question about whether his security clearance should be pulled based on these potential developments. how would you answer some of the questions that malcolm brought up? >> well, malcolm is absolutely right that any other american official who made this kind of proposal to a foreign government to have a private line of communications that avoided u.s. government detection would have their security clearance not just yanked immediately, but likely would be subject to prosecution for espionage. so this is very serious. it could have been just an ignorant mistake on mr. kushner's behalf. i really think peter made a good point in that president trump and kushner b
