are being leaked this again becomes an important issue to nixon because the pentagon papers covered basically lies mostly democratic allies from one nine hundred forty five to one thousand nine hundred sixty seven but what nixon knew was there was there was a sequel out there to the pentagon papers there was possibly more damaging it was the story of his treason so that's when he has this meeting on june seventeenth one nine hundred seventy one in the oval office where he is talking to henry kissinger who is in a sea advisor to bob haldeman his chief of staff saying we've got to find this with this these files we've got to get them and huston had said suggested that maybe they were at the brookings institution in the safe so nixon then orders the creation of a team under it howard hunt to go break into the brookings institution he hired homelike at that time with the number three guy in the cia well he was sort of former cia but he's been a cia officer yeah that was back during day bay of pigs right so so so so what they create is a team and this becomes a team that's known as the p

causes, sources, and ramifications of unauthorized disclosure of classified documents known as the pentagon papers. we have other national security matters. have the 17 wiretaps approved by j edgar hoover and the president. as mentioned, two or three other wiretaps that were not authorized by the president and no showing whatsoever of any authorization by the president but the 17 wiretaps were actually made at the president's request, at least with his signature, were definitely brought about by a very great concern of henry kissinger with the salt talk negotiations that were going to take place and the knowledge that might be given to a foreign country. >> the time of the gentleman has expired. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> the gentleman has not yet been recognized. [laughter] the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you again, mr. chairman. i'm very proud and honored to associate myself with the remarks of my dear friend, a very great lawyer, the gentleman from massachusetts, mr. donahue. mr. chairman, our debate today has distilled the issues of this article to where we all now c

asked over the pentagon papers? they were a critique of the johnson administration and management of the vietnam war. but, of course, raise questions about the vietnam war which nixon and kissinger continued for five years. in the and got about the same deal that they could've had when they first came in, but don't ask kissinger about or be prepared to sit for quite a while as he explains that's not the case. ask a watergate could happen, the president replied, 72 was a very busy year. arguing that measures have been taken to hold down the consumption of fuel on his trip to the south, he was in disney world, which was fitting. and he said that back applying hadn't been brought down, so they had used up as much fuel. we did have a fuel price it at the time. he said if his own plane goes down from this is the president talking, if it goes down it goes down and then they don't have to impeach me. and it talks about his vice presidential papers which he had held out from the government and his finances, and he said this

. >> -- daniel ellsberg, who leaked the pentagon papers. and obama's used it how many? >> eight times. it's unbelievable, and -- >> the espionage act. >> right, the espionage act. and who would've ever imagined that? this is something obama never talked about in campaigns. he never publicly said he was going to go do this. and like a lot of things in his administration, he's trying to have it both ways. he's supporting a shield law, to some extent, in congress for journalists. but on the other hand, he's criminalizing investigative reporting by going after sources. and so he's throwing a bone, or being accommodating to the national security establishment in washington, which, you know, in just a couple-year period, did 76 million classified documents. far more than any time in u.s. history. and so he's a prisoner to that community to a large extent. and this is a fellow who didn't know anything about foreign policy. was a state legislator in illinois and was a one-term senator. and suddenly he's become more hawkish against reporters than george w. bush. i don't know why

clause is how in one nine hundred seventy one senator mike gravel was able to read the top secret pentagon papers during a committee hearing and even submitted into the congressional record at the same time the man who gave senator gravelle the papers and you'll ellsberg faced over one hundred years in prison for espionage charges and it's also why we have an institutionalized congressman louie gohmert yet over the content of his four speeches if you're oriented toward animals. so remember the now infamous exchange between senator ron wyden and the director of national intelligence james clapper does the n.s.a. collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of americans no sir. it does not stop the tape ron wyden knew the truth so he could have blown this whole thing wide open he could have called clapper a liar liar liar liar he could have said right then that the n.s.a. is collecting data on millions of americans that they're creating massive databases containing all of our phone logs and they're siphoning off our internet communications and he could have submitted document

is alluding to, without mentioning the name, as daniel ellsberg, the famous pentagon papers from the 1970's. there's a reason she doesn't mention is them is because daniel ellsberg has come forward again and again this year and said, in fact, he could not do what he did in 1970 today. that the situation has changed as far as the courts use of state secrets privilege, how things are being held up in alexandria, virginia where there pool. a neutral jury that he could not do that. the reality is, that is the case for all national security whistleblowers with classified documents. you can't fight a normal case. your swept into a very aggressive system that is set against you from the first instance. >> hillary clinton again. >> mr. snowden took all this material and fled to hong kong. he spent time with the russians in the consulate. then he went to moscow, seeking the production of vladimir putin, which is the height of ironies given the surveillance state that russia is. if he wishes to return home knowing that he would be held accountable, but also be able to present a defense, that i

and i'm talking about compared to the pentagon papers, iran contra, watergate, and the rest of them.e watergate, like teapot dome, and like many other historic events, will be studied by future generations. >> congressman issa, you might want to study a little harder. today's subject is watergate. and next month will mark 40 years since richard nixon resigned the presidency, the first and only u.s. president, of course, to ever do so. and there will be tons of anniversary coverage. but it was this day in history, july 16th, 41 years ago, that brought down the nixon presidency. it all started with a subpoena from a congressional committee. >> one senator has indicated that his testimony will be explosive, another says that he will have a bombshell. that is the gentleman whose hair is parted, that you're now seeing in the center of your screen, seated in the witness area. we believe his testimony will have to do with white house procedures is and those procedures may well have included the tape recording of various conversations that went on in the oval office. >> procedures, indeed. t

press, and bill sheehan of united press international, who was the reporter who later broke the pentagon papers story. and these three reporters took homer bigart's example and established a reputation as contrarians. going against the grain, not only of american military policy in vietnam, but the main trend of war correspondents. these were guys doing both the game story and the locker room story. what they were trying to write about, what bigart try to get them to write was honest stories about how south vietnamese forces were losing the battle against the vietcong and the north vietnamese army. well, years went by. it was our longest war. these three went home finally, replaced by other reporters. and by the late 1960's, the u.s. was involved in a massive war in vietnam, a far larger commitment than what we have recently seen in iraq and afghanistan in terms of numbers of soldiers and military power. it continued to go wrong, as homer bigart thought it would and by the mid-1970's, south vietnam was overrun by the north vietnamese. the americans withdrew. it was an historic defeat for the am

don't have a a lot of money to the pentagon a bigger obligation every month to buy a new home or a bigger home. that is why we are seeing this. so even though on paper said, the economy is doing better, people have a net worth that is recovering and they're not saying more money in the paycheck. and that is the one missing ingredient. gerri: i think that you make a good point. first of all, you get this number which is a huge and big change. the first-quarter gdp gets revised from a negative 2.9% which is difficult to tell from this screen. the big changes for people out there and it will be interesting to see what the federal reserve does with this information. do you think that they will make a change in policy based upon a? >> not at all. even though the numbers today are little bit more than expected, it amounts to pay back from the lousy first-quarter and you know that there's a huge swing there. the economy contracted and look, how strong can this economy be if a few months of bad weather lead to a contraction of greater than 2%. and i think that that will carry into the third quarter and at the end of the day we are dealt a slow growth econom

the pentagon and army now says it will review claims of plagiarism against montana senator john walsh. he's a democrat. he's accused of using a scholar's work to complete a paper while at the u.s. army war college. it's a unique situation, general. what happens to senator walsh here? >> well, there will be an investigation and if the facts bear out that it appears like it's plagiarism, which at least on the surface it does, are there mitigating circumstances to that that would be factor in a final decision about what to do with it. the fact of the matter is plagiarism stands as an accusation. his degree would be removed. the fact of the matter is, that degree is a partial credential to becoming a general officer which is a rank he achieved after he acquired that degree. that would put that rank under review again, whether that rank should stay and remain such. it's unusual to do this for a retired officer but it does have a precedent. >> we'll have to leave it there. monica, general, thank you to have you both. >>> a university soaked beneath 8 million gallons of water ruining their beloved basketball court. how long it may take to repair that. we'll explain w

he wrote this is a project for three months to link the pentagon papers. there was no national security involved. pat buchanan had an alternative he thought was better. let's undertake a major public attack on the brookings institution. 10 days after they were released he said 98% of the pentagon papers could have been and should have been declassified. the hysteria was created months after the identity came out. he said the special investigative unit was created in an entirely legal manner. i doubt he can support that. this is outside the ordinary way the executive branch operates. mr. st. clair concedes there is a shift in the unit's way of acting, but he said the purpose was legitimate. he failed to tell us why they had sterile phones in this little cubbyhole and why you would need special passes to enter and why in total defiance of the law and the cia they regularly violated that prohibition against security matters of the cia. he testified and said there was no area of violation of federal or criminal laws which was not covered by statutes and if the
