and from my perspective, the acting dni, joe mcgwire who i know well and i had a lot of dealings with, he's a straight shooter in my mint, i mind, he consulted with his general counsel to make sure what he's doing is consistent with the law. but unfortunately, i think now the department of justice is becoming involved because i wouldn't be surprised if joe mcgwire's general counsel consulted with the department of justice, which are normal procedures and clear our attorney general is a highly politicized individual who will use the instruments of power of the department of justice to protect his client, donald trump. and so i don't know to what extent joe mcgwire is being coerced, intimidated, threatened by the department of justice to not take these actions that could be saying there would be legal action taken against him if he were to go forward and share those complaints. so this is clearly a very abnormal, very worrisome situation where the whole intent of the whistle-blower act is being toted by the trump administration and preventing information that should truly go to the comm

that's what we saw mcgwire say yesterday in his testimony.olves the president. i handed it over to the doj and the doj gave me guidance. and i had to follow that guidance. he was a bit stuck between a rock and a hard place because there's a mechanism that says it those go to the intelligence committee but yet the doj is giving guidance to hang back until they have the opportunity to conduct an investigation. so, look, i do not think it has the air of wrongdoing in the way it's being spun in the media. lauren: it is being spun by both sides. this is something we'll continue to talk about. i quickly wanted to get your thoughts as we follow the college add a missions scandal. we've -- admissions scandal. we've had three sentencings so r far of the parents, the latest is a four month sentence by one father. should lowr lori loughlin who pd guilty, should she be worried? >> absolutely. i think a lot of parents who pled not guilty will be working with prosecutors to see if there's plea deals still on the table. you're talking about the parents who

and so i don't know to what extent joe mcgwire is being coerc coerced, intimidated, threatened by the department of justice to not take these actions that could be saying there would be legal action taken against him if he were to go forward and share those complaints. so this is clearly a very abnormal, very worrisome situation where the whole intent of the whistle blower act is g being toted by the trump administration and preventing information that should truly go to the committee's jurisdiction of the congress. so i think we are at this point of seeing this trampling of our laws and procedures by a individual in the oval office who is being supported in this by an attorney general and the department of justice that is -- that are not fulfilling what their responsibilities and obligations are under the law. they are looking to do what the white house, what mr. trump wants done. >> to our viewers, a phrase we use a lot around here. this is truly uncharted territory. i want to read something a frequent contributor of ours joyce vance said on social media. if this turns out to be wha

we need to see the leadership from the community head joe mcgwire but we also need to see the justiceartment and the white house step aside and let the law play out. i do want to emphasize what carol emphasized earlier, which is that if you look at the july 25th phone call between trump and zelenskiy, this is potentially about holding out the prospect that we would hold military assistance from ukraine unless the ukraine investigates joe biden. who of course trump believes is the most threat to his reelection. that's what this is about. this is the 2016 campaign all over again except this time trump is president. he got military aid to hold as a weapon to achieve his objective. >> okay. phil rucker, obviously, an unsaid part of this is that there may be more. there may be more individuals like this. our mutually colleague nicolle wallace reported after talking with two veterans of the intel business that they keep noting here is another phone call from inside the house saying the house is on fire, and i am guessing, phil, the white house may be bracing for the fact that there could be

obviously, mcelderry quire answ -- mcgwire answers to the white house.you think there will be resistance from the white house to allow that to occur so this whistle blower can testify or do you think they have no other choice but to allow this? >> i would imagine they will put forth any resistance they can. there may not be an option at this point. connecting these investigations and pushing forward under the impeachment inquiry umbrella is important and shows we are using the maximum pressure that we can possibly and if we don't get this information, then, you know, we're not going to have any choice but to move towards full impeachment i don't think. i think this is a really telling moment and if we don't have the ability for the whistle blower to come forward, that in and of itself should show great alarm. >> appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> thank you. >>> just ahead, jake gets reaction from the panel, two sources saying that the whistle blower's complaint has been declassified and may be released as early as tomorrow morning. we call it the mot

these people, even if they are good people and i think in the case of acting dna mcgwire, he is, but they are under tremendous pressure to audition for the job every single day. they did not yet get the permanent nod. at every step they want to curry favor with the president. i think at worst, and we're not sure if that's what happened in this case, but at worst, putting their loyalty to the president ahead of their loyalty to the law to the constitution. what we could be seeing in this case. >> that's the corrupting effect that donald trump has had on government is everyone feels their main job is to protect him and i presume the reason adam schiff feels this must be about -- or may be about donald trump is that his chief protector right now in the government is the justice department. >> and what actually notably on that point is that this complaint was filed right around the time the previous permanent dni left. dan coats who was someone appreciated and respected in congress and was senate confirmed, this complaint was filed right as he is leaving and there's this tumult. we know

chairman schiff says acting intelligence joseph mcgwire is refusing to turn over the contents of what schiff calls a credible urgent whistle-blower complaint involving a serious or flagrant problem, abuse, violation of law or deficiency. i was made a month ago, right? the question here is what are they hiding? >> this is hard to fathom. if you think about what a whistle-blower is this is someone coming forward to report some type of alleged malfeasance, criminal activity, we don't know. and there are mechanisms placed inside if an employee sees something, they can report that without it becoming public. this employee went through that proper channels and now this information is being withheld from congress. we had a sign a certification every single year if we witnessed an intelligence abuse we would come forward and report it through the appropriate channels. what concerns me not only the american people are left unknowing what this special abuse is but to other potential whistle blowers who might be on the cusp of doing the right thing, they look at this and say our information may

we have with president trump, and really choosing lieutenants to implement his personal agenda, mcgwire'sector of national intelligence is in question. based upon the letter you just read the inspector general is saying the acting director of director of national intelligence actions don't follow past precedent. so there are a lot of questions as to why maguire is choosing to take this course of action rather than listening to his inspector general. there maybe valid legal arguments. we haven't seen them yet. >> it's like, well, why not transparency. that's what everyone is asking. why not be transparent about it. listen, i just want to read this tweet. from national security analyst. i think it's important to note it would almost certainly not be a crime for either the whistle-blower to commute the substance of the complaint to a gang of eight member in a secure space. they wouldn't be prosecuted. they would just be fired. interesting. okay. thank you, all. appreciate it. we'll be right back. >> thanks, don. fact is, every insurance company hopes you drive safely. but allstate actually h

. >> now the acting director of national intelligence joseph mcgwire who is the one who blocked the whistle blower complaint from congress is due to testify in front of the house intelligence committee next thursday and also testifying in front of the senate intelligence committee at some point next week. of course we expect maguire will have to explain why the white house and the department of justice have told him not to hand over that whistle blower complaint. now to discuss all of this and more i'm joined this afternoon by democratic congressman john garamendi from california. he does sit on the house armed services committee. congressman, thanks so much for joining me this afternoon. there is so much to discuss. let's start with ukraine and the whistle blower complaint. you are in fact going i understand to ukraine later this month and i imagine you plan to sit down with the leadership there and ask about these conversations that they had with rudy guiliani and president trump. but we know from rudy guiliani who is of course the president's personal lawyer, his own admission to our chr

with that, i know tom mcgwire has closing remarks. >> just to wrap this up, because i think the two-subject matter experts have covered it in great detail, the two observations i would add is that we are fighting headwinds not just here in san francisco but nation wide. nation wide, not just population of jobs are growing but vehicle miles are growing faster than population and jobs and we're losing ground in certain areas. these trends are going up in many cities including san francisco. we're not alone here. also, the issue of people experiencing homelessness being directly affected as victims of traffic fatalities it's a huge concern of d.o.t. nation wide and one of our five fatalities victims are homeless and that is on the rise nation wide as well. in that sense, we're trying to achieve and drive down traffic fatalities to zero at a time when the factor is they contribute to fatalities are working against us. that said, we're absolutely committed to vision zero for five years and this board has made several moves to push us further. project delivery, we have a quick build initiative ba

having to hand it over to congress, donald trump's acting director of national intelligence joseph mcgwire is refusing to do so which is let's be clear, unprecedented. something house intel chair adam schiff recently pointed out. >> the reason he's not acting to provide it even though the statute mandates that he do so is because he is being instructed not to. >> tonight hers late word we may get more answers. the acting director of national intelligence has agreed to adam schiff's request to testify in public before the intelligence committee next thursday. joining me now to help explain exactly what is at stake here greg sarergeant. what are the stakes here involved in the showdown? >> it comes down to the way the statute was drafted, right? there's a reason it was drafted the way it was. congress setup this process so that whistle blowers could talk about -- could tell congress about wrongdoing in a way that would protect them and protect the material and also protect from retaliation and interference by agency heads. so the way it's setup is the whistle-blower goes to the inspector gen

out at was not full. >> this hearing begins in about five minutes we are we will hear from joseph mcgwiretting on this, or you know, not sending this whistle-blower complaint out sooner what do you want to say steve forbes. >> i think what implication is they doctored that memorandum nothing gets zrield destroyed in thattown if doctored will be recovered i don't believe they did it. >> which. >> in the sense the whistle-blower implying what we've got out yesterday has been doctored. >> i see. dagen: not -- well this whistle-blower complaint is dated august 12. so the whistle-blower is not responding to what was released yesterday. >> i know but he is implying that they doctored what -- doctored what we got out yesterday he didn't know they were going to release it sounds like they are so disturbed by what the president said that they cleaned it up, and -- that is not implications. >> they locking down availabilitied of the read out of we want to get your take on this unclassified whistleblower letter, where he says, he writes in the course of my official duties, i have received informatio

. >> on the whistleblower complaint that was released yesterday just before mcgwire testified, the threeakeaways for me are that one, the extent of concern amongst u.s. whocials in the white house had expressed their concern to the whistleblower about what had and is abetween trump lengthy -- and the ukrainian president to dig up dirt, many were concerned. we do not find out the names of those individuals, but i think the impeachment inquiry will be looking very carefully at who those people are. and perhaps calling some of them to testify. the whistleblower himself will likely testify. they are trying to get him in. secondly, the issue of the call transcript or the rough transcript seemed to be put on a separate system designed for highly sensitive intelligence. that was a key takeaway and that is something that has been seen democrats as a cover up. there were actions taken by people in the white house to this call and the concern around it did not get out. thirdly, the role of rudy giuliani, trumps personal lawyer , and how he used back channels ofreach out to the circle advisers arou
