first time there had been a leak of any kind from the nsa and needless to say i called my editors at the guardian at night and said i need to get out of the plane and by immediately to hong kong which i did within 36 hours and spent 12 or 13 days with him there in hong kong which is when we started the reporting there revealed nsa spying to the world. did you ever visit with him in russia? i did visit him in 2016. so maybe two or latin america the obama administration trapped him there ever wanted to be in russia. he had always intended to pass through russia on his way to latin america the obama administration trapped him there by revoking his passport, but most important. by bullying the cubans out of intercending their guarantee of say passage, which he needed in order to get to latin america, so he's been in russia for eight years. so when i visited him he was still hoping one day to be able to leave. by now, he's married his american girlfriend. they have two children, and i think they're kind of building a life there and if he still loves to come home, but you know, if he can't

that there's room for discussion about the future of cyber intelligence is in partnership with command nsand others across the community to define where it is we need to go. >> i think kind of almost now down to the final questions here. it's really about your technology base. dia write plays an important role in terms of providing technology capabilities and providing a database and infrastructure so how are you adapting technological capabilities tobetter support the cyber mission ? >> two areas i'd like to discuss on this one. the first starts with j oh which is our top secret war fighting and intelligence network . when it first started over 30 years ago it was meant to just push a very very sensitive information across one network for intelligence purposes . we all know that it's expanded across to be more of an intelligence control network right now so that's required investment. we have not kept pace with where we should have to be able to secure that network. thankfully i think it's probably the most secure network at this point, knock on wood but we are going to invest significant

what a spy told us what nsa technical access producer. that is extremely sensitive read the compromise of that is extremely damaging. that is at one end of the spectrum. in those reports come into the sit room. they're very interesting, a cover will be slapped on it that is consistent to the national security advisor. the deputy the white house including the president and who they believe need to see it. that is at one end of the spectrum for the other end of the spectrum they have a memo recommending a certain policy course, that memo contains classified information than that memo will be classified to the highest level in that document. the other end of the spectrum memo towards country x, y, or z. the totality of it is not very sensitive. that's why it's important to meet this did not come out of the pd. they came out of the nsc process. it did not absolve the president anyway here range of possibilities coming from the briefing. >> and now we've got a moment or an hour we may have determination from the judge whether there should be a

glen, thanks so much for joining us, given your experience at the nsa. i wonder if you expect the argument laid out in these 19 pages from trump's legal team that nothing to see -- basically nothing to see here, folks. this should have been expected, he was president, it would be no surprise he would have documents like this. how would you expect that to potentially move judge aileen cannon in either direction today. >> there is no surprise that president trump would have had access to sensitive and classified documents. of course, that was his job. he wasn't supposed to take them home with him. that's a big difference. i don't think that particular point is going to be persuasive with the judge today at -- at today's hearing. the judge is going to be considering their claim for the appointment of a special master, which is something that is in the discretion of the judge. the judge doesn't have to do that. i might add it is generally disfavored. this is not a common step. but it could be done. the judge could decide to sort of bend over backwards in the

>> one of the most bizarre thing skepticism to the cia and fbi and nsa, it was how the american leftood it. the political framework now, what you see belief in the cia and the doj and the fbi and the nsa is on the american left and the right is skeptical of it. that's why they called january 6th an insurrection. biden said you can't overthrow the government but say 900 people on january 6th are insurrection. >> tucker: you called that earlier. a reason they were using that word. you saw immediately it was a legal precedent they were trying to set to do what they are doing right now. i appreciate your persistent on this topic. thank you. last week we decided to go deep and take a look at john fedderman. the lt. governor of pennsylvania and running for senate. we found him to be unhinged. tonight we will speak to the man running against him dr. s on who will join us after the break. ♪ here goes nothing. hey greg. um...hello? it's me, your heart! really? yes! recording an ekg in 30 seconds. tada! wow that was fast! good news, pal. i'm not detecting any of the six most common arrhythmias

the word, not that we did but would start in 2008 demonstrated the capabilities that cyber comp and nsa have as one of the reasons. he recalled the next six months ago. everybody was predicting a cyber attack from russia. a certainty that the light and it has not happened. i honestly believe part of the reason it doesn't happen there and hadn't happened is they know we have the capability to strike back in cyber or some other way. the whole idea of deterrence is to change your adversary's calculus. our theory of deterrence is the first thing to do is make not very beneficial. the second thing is true nationally. the state department bureau support electrical sections weren't much better than unilateral selection of multilateral setting of standards in cyber space to a report. but finally adversary has to have some expectation of their rights. back to her cyber experience at >>, opm, witness, the pipeline, about how to push back. that's had a response. the actors. you say this is a low class i have to spend a lot of money i can inflict some damage. in so far they don't seem to be able or

i knew in that time period numerous cases where a president would say to the director of the cia or nsa could when you declassify this for the following reasons and that person would take that request back and it would be worked. people would look at the potential downside so there would be a dialogue between his or her main advisors. i know of only one case where a president declassified something without discussion with intelligence committee. and i was mentioning this before we came on. president bush declassified several excerpts from the 2002 weapons of mass destruction estimate for scooter libby to use during his grand jury hearing. the president did that and he did not consult with of the intelligence community. knowing the deputy national security advisor at the time, i am sure he made the president to sign a piece of paper that said i declassify these excerpts. that is where they've declassified a document and even the times when a president is requested can we declassify this it's somebody else at the end of the day that does the ndeclassification. the idea that you have the n

becca: yes, sometimes a review is a better occasion for nsa. celeste: fine. sorry. >> for me, the essay that liberties publishes, which tends to be longer, more expensive than the average straight book review is my preferred form, because for me, essay writing especially is always about the discovery, so i rarely know what i think about a subject before i sit down and write about it. all that comes out in the writing itself, so having the space to explore that and cover that is important. celeste: can i ask you about the essay that she wrote for us celeste:? ? it was a takedown of literary biographies, but you also wrote literary biographies, so did you know there would be tension between her identity is the author of the essay and the other? morten: i saw it as a defense of literary biography, slightly doomed genre. it was slightly more of a takedown of a certain kind of biography, but a defense of writing biographies, and a lot of criticism, it is self-serving in the sense the kind of biography i was advocating for is what i aspire to write. celeste:celeste

accouability in the court for the civil liberties government per person —- perpetuated including the nsantless wiretapping and the fbi surveillance of the mosque so the cia program of torture. so that key area controversy i will pull a bait and switch because the court does not address that issue and in fact the most notable aspect was the failure to shed any light on the questions at the lower courts are wrestling with with privilege. so the court set a disturbing precedent holding the state secrets privilege can apply to information in the public domain. those that were believed to be a high-level al qaeda operative inuding waterboarding him 83 times some torture took place at the black site in poland and investigators are looking into those who have been complicit for them to look at the american contractors to help develop the program so to secure that testimony there is f a lawsuit filed which allows the court to issue subpoenas requiring people to give testimony. the united states intervened and clm state secrets privilege that both therc district court and the ninth circuit held a

, a lot mark hcs, si, other very highly sensitive pieces of information closely guarded by the cia, nsaations. this is a document dated, something given to the judge before they approved the search warrant in august. >> you are learning more tonight about the subpoenas. the doj subpoenas, the one sent to more than 30 people connected to donald trump. this flurry of more than 30 subpoenas. what can you tell us? >> reporter: one of the things we learned in looking at the language in the subpoenas, prosecutors are connecting the dots between everything from the violence that occurred after the rallies, the fundraising that went into the rallies, connecting it to the larger effort of donald trump and his allies to use fake electors for him to remain in office even though he lost the election. some of the key people we have previously reported on include people who were campaign aides, his lawyers, boris epshteyn, a close aide in the white house, and later on, is still working with the former president, he had fbi agents show up at his home, they gave him a subpoena and copy everything on hi

it's done by classification officers in agencies like the cia and the nsa and the defense intelligence agency that know what it took to get that information and what the sources and methods are and whether it should be secret or top secret or higher than top secret. essentially handing that responsibility off to the judiciary is a real breach. now, from what kara scannell tells us, judge dearie, who i've known for a long time, back when he was u.s. attorney, he seems to get that. he's saying, if it says classified or top secret, we're going on the assumption it's classified. it seems like they're going to have an uphill struggle with that argument over the hundred documents in that courtroom. >> tom duprey, trump's lawyers are resisting the special master's request that they disclose in court, which means under oath, specifics about whether or not trump actually declassified these documents as trump himself has claimed publicly. special master judge raymond dearie questioned this request and said he's going to determine if the documents were classified if trump's lawyers don't offer an

i said a senior director for the middle east and north africa before becoming the nsa. recent decision by russia to cut off gas to europe for a time. could you tell our viewers what happened and what's behind this move by vladimir putin? >> it the deeply dangerous as removed. the problem is the europeans have for the last 20 years really been increasing their defense on russian gas through the two nord stream pipelines which a been run by gazprom into europe, largely bypassing ukraine and other transit points. and it always seemed to many of us that this was not a very wise move for the europeans to place the energy security in vladimir putin's hands. my old boss senator cruz had very strong sanctions legislation on the nord stream ii pipeline that shut it down basically a president donald trump very strongly supported because president trump understood this was a terrible idea. now i seeing the fruits of it and the energy crisis in europe is existential. >> vladimir putin saying that this reaction or lease this decision came from saint showplace on by the west ultimate

expert here on all things classified, having dealt with so many issues, of course, in your job at the nsa the national -- how do they know what happened over the months, more than a year where the documents where at mar-a-lago? whom did he speak to about them? whom did he show them to? if anyone. what happened to those documents during that period? during part of that time, a chinese spy was stopped and convicted and eventually deported back after serving some time for trying to penetrate mar-a-lago. it's an open place. how will they ever assess the damage? >> andrea, you hit the nail on the head. that's the issue. there's two parts to this. one is figuring out what was in the classified documents for purposes of determining just if a particular secret was revealed, how bad that would be. the other piece of this is trying to rule out the possibility that anyone else, as you suggested, could have had access to it. the analogy i would use is, think of what would happen if you, say, lost your keys to your house and your car and several hours later, a day later someone turned up at your front

one of the things that was pointed out to the judge is the cia, and nsa to not to domestically. they operate overseas. if you need grand jury subpoenas, and search warrants, it is, by law, for good reasons, that it is the fbi that needs to do that. that goes to your point, and in effect, is what they are done. i'm going to say you do a national security of you, and in fact, you can't. it is domestic authorities to do that. >> so, the hundred documents with 100 classified documents, and was stressing today, it is any consideration by a special master. they're saying to a trump lawyers, what is your position on those documents? one of those positions is going to be, they are not classified. is it on the last day, and at some point on january, before you left office, he wave the magic wand, you're not classified, that could be one of the things you say. it is about those hundred documents, and would this be the moment in which these lawyers have anything else to say, that's right, the special master should not be handling this specialized documents. >> i agree. it is flushing out t

president vladimir putin signed a decree monday granting russian citizenship to edward snowden, the former nsa contractor who in 2013 leaked a trove of secret documents about how the united states built a massive surveillance apparatus to spy on americans and people across the globe. after sharing the documents with american reporters in hong kong, snowden was charged in the u.s. for violating the espionage act and other laws. as he fled in an attempt to reach political exile in latin america, snowden became stranded at moscow's international airport after the u.s. revoked his passport. he has lived in political exile in russia ever since. in 2019, snowden offered to return to the united states if he could be guaranteed a fair trial. in japan, hundreds of dignitaries and more than 50 current and former world leaders gathered in tokyo earlier today for the state funeral of former prime minister shinzo abe, three months after he was shot dead by an assassin wielding a homemade gun. members of japan's self-defense forces fired cannons in a 19-gun salute as abe's widow akie abe carried the late le

and also john bolton, the former nsa to donald trump -- he thinks it could be possible there are other documents at other trump properties. do you think they're pursuing that in this investigation? >> yeah, i do. the only reason we know about the search of mar-a-lago is because trump announced it to the world. doj keeps a secret. trump does not. trump told us all, and that's how this whole thing started to unravel. so, yes, i do think they're pursuing leads. as andrew said, they're probably talking to witnesses. and i wouldn't be surprised if they search other properties. all this is self-inflicted wounds on the former president. he told everyone he didn't oppose the release of the affidavit. now because of this motion for a special master, you've got this 36-page response that gives all these terrible details. and now you have this latest item, where now we know there's all these empty folders. so, he only has himself to blame for all of his unforced errors. >> dave, andrew, sar sara, thank you so much for the discussion tonight. >>> just ahead, more on a judge's release on what the f

authorization fence around various pots of money in order to compel whether it's the fbi or the cia or the nsa you information that you are demanding. it's the a shame that you actually have to do that, but that is what's necessary. the other thing i think we have to use more effectively, sean, is our subpoena power. because it's not just fisa abuse and the immediate for fisa -- need for fisa reforms, it extends to various are other executive branch agencies, right? for example, no one's been held accountable for the shameful surrender and ineptitude we i saw on display in afghanistan last year. fauci hasn't been held accountable for the multiple lies he told lout the pandemic. there are all sorts of areas where we have to go through each executive branch agency and start to demand basic a answers, and until we have subpoena power and the willingness to wield it effectively, we're not going to get those answers. so we have to use that, we have to use the power of the purse more effectively to get basic transparency and, again, start to restore competence and trust in these agencies before it's

has to be, at least as far as we know, probably the biggest since the edward snowden case, the former nsa contractor leaked tens of thousands of documents. and he did it to blow the whistle on what he viewed as a moral, illegal surveillance cam pained by the federal government. now snowden was ideologically motivated. whatever you think of him, his motive was pretty clear. he also did it kind of out in the open. we knew he was doing it. we have no idea why donald trump took these documents or why he apparently refused to give them back owyhee apparently lied to investigators about giving the back, or why he had his lawyer sign a document saying you have all of them, but didn't actually give them all. we don't even know what these documents are. just that they are reportedly among some of the most closely held secrets our country has. we also don't yet know what the damage to the nation's security might be as a result of trump's actions. olivia troye served as a homeland security adviser to vice president mike pence. -- 2020. they both join me now. glenn gerstell, let me start with you on

and thinking in his mind hey, i decided i'm going to declassify the secrets about iran tonight, the nsa needs to know, there if it was their signals intelligence, or cia needs to know. you can just willie nearly do it. and that's his big problem. that's why there is no declaration in the civil case proving he declassified anything. because he's got nothing, zero, zippo, zilch, nada. >> neal katyal, andrew weissmann, riley moss, thank you very much once again. and congratulation if the appeals court agrees with all of you. really appreciate it, thank you. and up next, the trump fortune is at risk now that everyone named trump working in donald trump's company has become defended trump. that is next. at is next nt for your chronic migraine - 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting 4 hours or more - can be overwhelming. so, ask your doctor about botox®. botox® prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine before they even start. it's the #1 prescribed branded chronic migraine treatment. so far, more than 5 million botox® treatments have been given to over eight hundred and fift

why have we not spent the resources of the cia, of the nsa a and partner to work on that.well. finally, why do we not have a national security economic plan for places -- a lot of times we focus on the northern triangle, el salvador, and honduras. that's been the location that has driven a lot of the folks coming into our country illegally. that's not necessarily the case right now that people are coming from 151 different locations. but we have to address those root causes why people are fleeing. and then we also got to remember, asylum, you have to be a member of protected class and show that you're being persecuted for being part of that protected class. coming and wanting to have a better job is not a criteria for being asylum seeker. this is one of the reasons why the number of people that get granted asylum are so low. so if we address those root causes there, it's a fraction of the cost than trying to do it here. so there's a number of areas that we can focus on, but unfortunately, and this is one of the most frustrating things about this issue of immigration that i

right now is across the board, from dni haynes on, across the intelligence community, when it's a cia, nsa, fbi, and say, all the other components into these, are looking at the information that's been recovered and saying all right, what are the sources out there at risk right now? first and foremost is any human sources, anybody who might be working for the united states in moscow, in beijing, anywhere abroad, is somebody potentially in danger of getting arrested or being tortured and interrogated, possibly killed? and whether or not someone needs to be exfiltrated to the united states. and then there's all the technical measures, collection means, whether it's a satellite system, whether it is a very sophisticated way of collecting data and signals intelligence. all of these things are constantly being assessed to figure out whether or not they are at risk. and it is chilling. i mean, there is nothing worse than the prospect of sitting, not only with us tranche of secret, classified, top secret information, but knowing it increasingly seems to be the most sensitive material. and again,

you accept when the government testifies and tsign papers sayig that this is classified, it is the nsa that is the classification authority, that the judge accepts that, right? and this judge is saying i don't trust anything. >> and what is even more unusual about this, that this is a judge that may not even be the judge if there is a case charged who think has it. the grand jury we understand would be working with d.c. potentially and this judge is right now communicating and writing things about the investigation and also she will be calling balls and strikes on what could potentially be evidence in a case that she might never even see. >> elliott, let me play devil's advocate to a degree. you know that trump is attacking this as the deep state, he suggested the fbi has planted evidence. is there in an odd way, maybe it is backwards, maybe outside the law, but can the justice department turn it to its advantage in the sense that we had a judge who disagreed with us, we went through a process we thought was unnecessary, we weren't going to be able to do anything before the election an

. >> but a good question the dia, the nsa for this one they have that back up that about 4,000 megawatts as as a backup and also the the user, that kind of funny that a wonderful job the past few days with the save about you watts by following some of the simple instructions given to them. >> so you kind of follow the stuff a little bit closely. then the normal average person. and we've kind of gotten a warning already from cal iso that they have telling the power companies all throughout california to prepare their customers for possible power outages. they're going to make this announcement about 5.30, what they're going to do. people are already starting to get text messages, especially from pga, say be prepared. you might have your power possibly shut off for 2 hours. so it's a lot of like preparing preparing, preparing. can you predict what you think they're going to do at 5.30 today and why they would make that decision to either turn the power off or keep it on for the certain groups. >> it depends on what's going to be the use. we are going through and also what is the reaction o

president vladimir putin signing a decree today granting that citizenship to snowden, the former nsator behind a house investigation found to be a damaging leak of classified information an in exile for nine years and he is still a u.s. citizen, and while making this point of snowden's new russian citizenship. watch. >> mr. snowden if he returns to the united states, where he should face justice, as any other american citizen would, perhaps the only thing that has changed is that as a result of his russian citizenship, apparently now, he may well be con scripted to fight in russia's war in ukraine. >> nbc's priscilla thompson is live with us now from london. snowden's lawyer i think is knocking that down, basically saying no, he's not going to be called up to fight, but this idea of citizenship is a significant one for snowden. >> right, his attorney is saying he will not be called up to fight because he doesn't have any previous military experience in russia. and so they don't view that as an issue for him, and that's according to a statement that was, that is being reported by russ
