let's focus on richard burr, the most recent development coming from the united states.t's all an issue of stocks. remind us of what he is believe. to have do >> well, going back to february, when richard burr, as the chair of the intelligence city, was receiving daily briefin from the intelligence community -- intelligce committee, was receiving daily briefings from the intelligence community about the threat of the coronavirus to the united states. on february 13, he began selling stocks, anywhere from 600,000 dollars to more than $1 million in stocks and industries that were going tofee severely ed by the pandemic, travel, shipping, restaurants. after that, he said privately to some people that it looked like the pandemic was going to be as bad as the 1918 fluenza pandemic. the accusation is that he used the informationin he was ge as chair of the intelligence committee to educate his decisions on stock and was able totock in advance of what would be a massive u.s. stock market drop that began at the end of february and stretched into march. that is al violation of fe

and richard burr has been a burr in the side of the white house. and kelly loeffle represent is aligned with president trump and she is accused with trading more. ly husband er husband is chairm the new york stock exchange. and she is accused of selling stocks afterattending this series of briefings. so what does that tell you if anything about the fact that we vfr haven't heard anything about her situation? >> and she bought stock in one company involved in telework that we're all using now on lockdown. and i'd like to think that the justice department takes action based on facts and law and depending on what the particular tirks circumstances are. i don't have any evidence so i won't make any allegation. but one thing that we know is difference, richard burr has made clear and has not denied that he is the one that authorized the trading in those stocks and that it was related to the coronavirus. and kelly loeffler has said that she had no role that it was third parties that don't consult with her or her husband. and so i would hope that investig

so he certainly has a motive to corruptly go after richard burr. and here is the real problem, joy. immediately having the fbi seize his phone, getting a warrant based on probable cause to investigate richard burr for potential crimes, and we don't hear reporting that the same is happening to, for example, senator kelly loeffler, the illegitimacy of the justice department under bill barr causes us to immediately think, well, that must mean trump and barr want to hurt burr and they don't necessarily want to hurt loeffler. it is that illegitimacy of the department of justice under bill barr that creates so much confusion and distrust and corrodes and undermines the rule of law. >> yeah. i think that is the issue, there is -- there is a regime behavior, right. if you look at the case of the difference between burr and he's being treated and loeffler and then flynn. here is a guy who pleaded guilty, twice, for lying to fbi, at the fbi and all of a sudden the case is being made to go away. >> do we have maya? >> yes, sorry. yeah, i think the problem here and i think what glen articulated

senators usually squeeze onto the dais but richard burr limited how many senators could sit in the room at once. senators had to stay in their offices until it was there a term to ask ratcliffe questions. this is a do over for ratcliff to be the nation's top spy. president trump tapped the congressman to succeed resigning dni dan coats last summer but ratcliff pulled out after bipartisan questions arose about his qualifications. >> you start out because every democrat is against you, my concern was there's not a lot of margin for error. >> president trump tweeted that he told ratcliffe "how miserable it would be for him and his family to deal with these people." the president never nominated somebody else. ratcliff emerged as one of mr. trump's most ardent defenders during impeachment hearings. president trump gave ratcliff a mulligan. democrats wondered what changed.

why are they backing richard burr? the same reason they have abandoned so many other principles and so much common sense. russia! mark bowman said this "this investigation riggs questions about bill barr, the attorney general targeting the one powerful republican who authenticated the russia investigation." so richard burr was one of the republicans, and there were a number of them who allowed the go on for three years, so of course, he should get immunity from investigation. that's their position. insanity. ultimately, the russia hoax was not created by richard burr or mike flynn's an excel phone call with the russian ambassador it was by the obama administration in collusion with the press and the so-called intel community and law enforcement, fbi. the senior fellow at the hoover institution, so grateful to have them on as he is tonight. thank you so much for coming on k paired what do you make of th? give us the overview as you are so good at doing. to speak on the last four yearss we have been living in an empire o

why are they backing richard burr?or the same reason they abandon so many other principles and so much common sense. russia! mother and senator mark foreman said this "this investigation raises questions about bill barr, the attorney general, targeting the one powerful republican who authenticated the russian investigation." so richard burr was one of the republicans and there were a number of them that allowed this nonsense to go on for three years, so of course, he should get immunity from investigation. that is their position. insanity. and also the russians have not created it by richard burr or the investor group that was created by the outgoing obama administration in collusion with the press and the so-called intel community and law enforcement and the fbi. a senior fellow at the hoover institution, always grateful to have him on as he is tonight. doctor, thank you so much for coming on. what do you make of this? give us the overview which you are so good at doing. >> i think for us the last four years we have b

all of that is the necessary contract for the story of richard burr of north carolina. richard burr seemed real, read shady after he dumped up to $1.7 million in stocks right before the outbreak, right before the markets crashed. he did this while publicly talking about what a disasterer the pandemic is going to be even though publicly he said we're prepare and we'll be fine. the more you look at the stock trade, the worse it got. this is a guy who had not done a lot of stock trading. this was the biggest trade in several years. and then get this. we also learned his brother-in-law also dumped his stock on the same day. all of that is sketchy as hell ethically indefensible and the possibly illegal. last night we reported "the l.a. times" seized a cell phone as part of the justice department's investigation into controversial stock trades he made as the novel coronavirus first struck the u.s. seizing a u.s. senator's cell phone is a big deal. a lot of people's reaction is that senator burr had it coming, and i get that. on the merits, i think there is a strong case for h

not richard burr. he's in a different category. he will have this hang over him and may result in criminal charges. but kelly loeffler case is closed by the fbi and it seems like on the surface they did similar things and maybe that's how it should be. maybe it's done in good faith. maybe an investigation into loeffler's investigations showed there was nothing there and maybe burr did something to still be under investigation and maybe her husband giving to trump's supper pact and the department of justice let her go. normally i wouldn't think that's how it went down and it can't possibly be that brazen and open and corrupt but can you really trust william 's department of justice to do the right thing? >>> the pandemic has completely altered the presidential race, to the primary and exposed donald trump for his weaknesses which were quite apparent before and more sharply and now why his polling position is at the worst position in a while. after the very long hotly contested democratic primary there is a tremendous amount of unity

is she under scrutiny or is richard burr the only person here? urr investigation is certainly the most advanced to chuck's point. they needed probable cause to get those warrants. and i'm told that they have not gotten such warrants on other senators. you know, certainly loeffler, senator feinstein, her husband, and senator inhoff are all people they are looking at, whose trades they are curious about. but the most advanced investigation, the focus of the investigation is senator burr. >> katie benner of the "the new york times," chuck rosenberg host of the podcast, the oath, thank you for talking to us. >>> there are some disturbing krep sizz in the number of coronavirus tests administered across this country. that is next. sure. okay... okay! safe drivers save 40%!!! guys! guys! check it out. safe drivers save 40%!!! safe drivers save 40%! safe drivers save 40%!!! that's safe drivers save 40%. it is, that's safe drivers save 40%. - he's right there. - it's him! he's here. he's right here. - hi! - hi. hey! - that's totally him. - it's him! that's

the security of the country is too important to have a distraction. >> north carolina senator richard burresolved that distraction, by temporarily stepping down as chairman of the senate intelligence committee. the reason being, an fbi probe into possible insider trading. agents seized senator burr's cell phone, as part of the investigation. he is one of four senators under scrutiny for selling stocks after a january briefing on covid-19. burr says he's asked the ethics committee to open a complete review of the matter. >>> joining us now, are "new york times" justice department reporter katie benner and msnbc contributor chuck rosenberg, a former u.s. attorney and senior fbi official. his podcast "the oath" begins the third season on june 3rd. thank you both for making time for us. katie, let me start with you. senator burr released a statement emphasizing the importance of the intel committee. how will this investigation into rim affect the committee's work? >> taking a step back, keep in mind the senate intelligence committee has had a lot of reporting on its own in the russia investiga

not richard burr. he's in a different category. he will have this hang over him and maybe, who knows, could ultimately result in criminal charges. but kelly loeffler case is closed by the fbi and it seems richard burr is still hanging out there, even though it seems like on the surface they did pretty similar things. maybe that's how it should be. maybe it's done in good faith. maybe an investigation into loeffler's investigations showed there was nothing there and maybe burr did something to still be under investigation and maybe kelly loeffler's husband gave a million dollars to trump's super pac and trump had the department of justice let her go. normally i wouldn't think that's how it went down and it can't possibly be that brazen and open and corrupt but can you really trust in william barr's department of justice to do the right thing? it's time for the memorial day sale on the sleep number 360 smart bed. can it help keep me asleep? absolutely, it senses your movements and automatically adjusts to keep you both comfortable. i

is richard burr under a criminal investigation?rter: chuck, you know, honestly, i defer to pete williams and our legal team on exactly how this would be characterized, but probable cause to get a search warrant seems to suggest that that's the track they're on. now, it would be really tricky to prove something like this in burr's case. the insider trading laws are written in such a way that they apply pretty much only to specific stock trades, so if you know something about a particular company's future and you make a decision based on information not available to the public, you can get yourself in trouble. now, senator burr asserts through his lawyer that he made these decisions based on public information, watching cnbc, reading the news about what was unfolding in china, and that's how he made these decisions, and presumably, the fbi is looking for information on his phone that could either confirm or contradict those claims that burr is making, because of course, you can get ensnared in other problems when you find yourself in

the seizure of senator richard burr's cell phone is apparently part of the fbi investigating him selling $1.7 million of stock in mid-february when nobody was telling us, the public, about how bad the coronavirus was about to get, when senator burr himself was assuring the public that everything was going to be. but his intelligence committee was receiving daily briefings on how bad it really was, and then he dumped his stock. so him giving up his chairmanship of the intelligence committee amid this fbi investigation into what he did, that's a very, very dramatic thing. but one of the absolutely unique ways in which our current federal government is so terrible right now is that as bad as the insider trading allegations are against senator burr, we also simultaneously have to worry whether the u.s. justice department under attorney general william barr might be targeting senator burr for reasons that are less about insider training and more about convenience to the trump administration. i mean senator burr, you will recall, has led the only functional bipartisan congressional investigati
