the pentagon put forward a planned it to go ahead and cut military personnel. because congress to be doesn't like that because of their salaries and on the tickets among other things inside the economy. i just around the country so i think in a way to answer to lead this but perhaps knowing that there be some resistance to cutting personnel and maybe that means the pie is bigger when it's all the time because carter's store is more the personnel cuts than they would have a weapon systems. a vanilla cake and i went to bed its last budget and now time for making the decision to really define its priorities qc happening with this budget that's being worked through right now. no i mean look and it's very hard to think for pentagon ever to get down to just parties because it is a lot of people inside the pentagon never going to be jockeying for the error their program for the air force over the others. i'm so that said i do think that the pentagon is on the right path again to cutting personnel. because you can gently regenerate person all fairly rapid the armies of

that's certainly true for the white house and the state department, but the pentagon, the pentagon, republicanources on the hill told me they have cooperated fully with the investigation. investigators from the house armed services committee controlled by republicans, were able to talk to everybody at the pentagon, up and down the chain of command, they were able to get documents, information, all the stuff they needed. basically, i was told if the rest of the administration had cooperated by the pentagon did, the benghazi investigation would probably be over by now. >> the white house would say we did cooperate and then we got that e-mail the other week that was, some say, was pretty stunning. what do you think will happen with this panel? can the democrats simply say we're not going to be a part of it? can the republicans do it alone? >> they can do it alone, no doubt. they would rather not because it would be branded as a partisan investigation from the beginning. democrats are divided. the first impulse was to boyscott it. there was a select committee selected by republicans investigating

fear-mongering over and over again going all the way back to the 1971 week of daniel ellsberg when the pentagon papers and informed the american citizenry that the government was systematically lying to them for years about the vietnam war. daniel ellsberg was my childhood hero. i actually had the honor of becoming friends with him and i served on the board with him. i have had the opportunity to talk with him. he has become the leading most vocal defender not just of edward snowden but chelsea manning and other whistleblowers. the reason he said he does that and he's devoted to doing it even though he's now 83 is because he said every single thing that they say about edward snowden and chelsea manning every single thing was said about me.

then, even before that ruling by the judge, to give -- to answer the question, why did i copy the p pentagon papers? i was not able to put out a defense at all in fact under those terms. it was ruled as irrelevant that motive is not relevancy and therefore i could say nothing about the fact that these secrets had been improperly withheld all of this time. and revealing them now caused no harm. i couldn't say any evidence to that effect and neither has anyone else prosecuted under these terms since. that's such as tom drake and others, that's what snowden would be facing. he would be facing a jail cell from the time he step off the plane here, the plane that john kerry offered him. he would be stepping into handcuffs and he would probably never get out unless the he is
