saxby chambliss last night.he may a case that he is republic and diane tiny stein when it came to the thonel raid these two leaders of the senate intelligence committee knew about it for months and it didn't leak out. that was obviously even more sensitive than what happened here. so i think both chambliss and feinstein both sides of the i'll are trying to make the case that look not every single thing leaks out of wind chill. when there is a single intelligence operation like this oftentimes it does not leak. >> ed henry traveling with the president and up early for d-day celebrations. thank you, ed. >> good to see. >> you did president obama just imply that the berg dave controversy is a phony scandal? >> have you been surprised by the back lantern that's been whiched up by your decision to free bowe bergdahl? what do you think about that. >> i'm never surprised by controversies whipped up in washington. >> do the president's commence have a familiar ring to them? remember this? >> end also wave of destruction

republican senator saxby chambliss came from that classified session. he scroins us.evening, sir. >> hello, greta, good to be with you. >> are you satisfied, sir, with what you learned in that classified briefing that the white house was right in not giving you notice that this is going to happen? >> >> i'm more convinced than ever that the white house played this so close to the vest intentionally. and made a determination not to give congress notice.5ifgb they -- i still don't know the reason why, i heard what they said today but it made no sense whatsoever. and in my opinion, they made a calculation early on in the process. that we're going to do this and no need to notify congress. >> did you gets a sense that the other side of the aisle, the chairman of the senate intelligence committee senator dianne feinstein, was more satisfied or does she feel like you do tonight after this briefing? >> well, obviously you you will have to ask diane, did i not have a chance to talk to her after the briefing. in fact, the briefing is still going on. but i don't see how anybody

the top republican on the senate intelligence committee, senator saxby chambliss, tells cnn that both he and chairwoman dianne feinstein were never notified about this decision, even though he says the law and courtesy insists that he should have been. >> there's a list down there of a very few of us that do receive these advanced phone calls. and it's hard for me to believe that both dianne and i, both of whom had objected vigorously in writing as far back as three years ago to the president as well as to secretary clinton about the release of these prisoners, that we were the two that failed to get the phone call. >> you do not have the luxury in a situation like this of opening a window and hoping that in 30 days it's still going to be open. this was touch-and-go and has been touch-and-go for years. and when you have the opportunity to execute this recovery of the last uniformed member of the military held in captivity by the enemy in either of these two long, ongoing conflicts, you take that opportunity. and it was absolutely the right thing to do. that was affirmed by the secreta

this is what senate intelligence committee vice chairman saxby chambliss had to say on "morning joe". >> there's no indication that there were any health issues with sergeant bergdahl. i can say that very matter of factually. he was probably coerced into mum bling the words that he mum bled and didn't look good but -- that's not enough to tell me that he's in imminent health danger from a health standpoint. >> jen, a lot of senators not convinced. was it a mistake not to give them a few days head's up about this transaction? >> reporter: i guess first i would say that the president and the national security council rely on the advice of the military advisers on this kind of action. general dempsey, the chairman of the joint chiefs have spoken clearly about this and he said we saw this as the last best chance to get sergeant bergdahl home. and you know, in terms of congress, we're trying to balance the desire and need to keep this protect this mission, keep it safe and secure with informing our partners in congress of actions we're taking, but the truth is that this -- the possibility

. >> reporter: the top republican on the intelligence committee, saxby chambliss, disputes the administration's argument that it had to move quickly without notifying congress because bergdahl's health was at risk. >> i would say that we have asked that question, and there has not been even the weakest case, in my opinion, made that he was suffering from a health standpoint to the degree to which a decision had to be made immediately. >> reporter: administration officials first broached the idea of a prisoner swap at a pair of contentious classified meetings with congressional leaders in november of 2011 and january of 2012. feinstein, who was in the room, says lawmakers were almost unanimously against the proposal, but that talks with the taliban stalled anyway./ and secretary of state hillary clinton sent a letter in early 2012 promising to consult congress if negotiations resumed. but the topic did not come up again until midday on saturday, when aides to house speaker john boehner and other top lawmakers got a call from the white house informing them about the swap, only a half-hour before

. >> her republican counterpart saxby chambliss says he's also been kept out of the loop and that bergdahl's account of his captivity will ultimately be difficult to corroborate. >> that's not to say they're not absolutely true. but we weren't there. we have nobody who was on the inside. so we don't know exactly what happened in his life over the last several years. >> reporter: next week the house and senate are holding herrings about bergdahl's time in taliban custody and the circumstances surrounding his release. republicans and democrats have raised national security questions about the prisoner swap and the white house decision not to inform congress in the advance. >> what i know today is what the president of the united states knows. that it would have been offensive and incomprehensible to consciously leave an american behind. >> reporter: secretary of state john kerry dismissed criticism that the five prisoners will now be an asset to the taliban. >> i'm not telling you that they don't have some ability at some point to go back and get involved. but they also have an ability to get

. >> typically both feinstein and her republican vice chair, saxby chambliss, said they haven't receivedmation that bergdahl was in such bad condition that they didn't have time to notify congress. >> there hasn't been even the weakest case made that he was suffering to a health standpoint to the degree to which a decision had to be made immediately. >> bergdahl could be home but he could face charges. in the meantime the state department is warning people not to prejudge the situation. >> i would really caution people from jumping to conclusions based on hearsay or third-hand discussions about what the facts might have been. >> covering the president in europe, chuck reports the administration is feeling the heat from afar. >> as the president travels through europe, chris, the issue of sergeant bergdahl and the entire details behind the release, the five taliban members that were held at gitmo in exchange for sergeant bergdahl continues to become a political fire storm for the white house. the euphoria over saturday is completely gone and that whole rose garden ceremony, where the whit

and saxby chambliss addressed that this morning. >> i've heard rumors about the escape as far as keeping him in a cage and whatnot, i read about it in the press this morning. nobody has made any effort to contact me from the administration. >> reporter: and let me just add there, when you have the chair woman of the senate intelligence committee, as well as the ranking member, these are two senators who are very high-profile senators, not just a few republicans looking to run for president. we have those two senators criticizing the administration, that's a problem for the administration going forward. >> so ryan, might the dust settle once, if we ever hear the details from bowe bergdahl, why should anyone think that for five years it was a cake walk? >> exactly. it's a crazy situation we have now. we now have the administration leaking details about the worst aspects of his captivity and you have republican operatives shepherding his fellow troops that were critical of him and the entire thing is being partisaned into a food fight. people cling to the facts on either side and i think yo

and senator saxby chambliss of georgia reacted angrily when i asked him if he got a heads-up.ere you? >> the white house is wrong about that. i have had a conversation with the white house on this issue in a year and a half. if that's keeping us in the loop, then, you know, this administration is more arrogant than i thought they were. got a phone call last night apologizing for not giving us advance warning of it. >> now, not everyone on the hill was blindsided by this news. the senate majority leader harry reid told me that he heard about it on friday, apparently, before the release actually happened. so why is this an issue besides the legal requirement, which the administration already said it considered unconstitutional. there are a lot of people on capitol hill, especially republicans, who say they're very concerned that the five taliban officers who got released are very bad customers. so they're asking more questions, including saxby chambliss, he's actually asking for information about those five individuals, to be declassified, so people can see just how serious this

afternoon, deputy national security adviser tony blinken apologized to senators dianne feinstein and saxby chamblisse top democrat and republican on the senate intelligence committee, for the lack of notification. earlier, mr. obama said his administration did discuss a possible bergdahl deal with congress, in the past. but chambliss complained today that was a long time ago. >> i hadn't had a conversation with the white house on this issue for a year and a half and if that is keeping us in the loop, then this administration is more arrogant than i thought they were. >> woodruff: in a statement, house speaker john boehner said top lawmakers were briefed, more than two years ago. he said they raised serious concerns that were never properly addressed. bergdahl, meanwhile, spent a third full day at the u.s. military hospital in landstuhl, germany. officials said he's undergoing de-briefing and re-integration. >> woodruff: for more on all of this and a look at some of the options before the military in the bergdahl matter. we turn to new york times reporter eric schmitt. and retired lt. general chipman

some of that classified saxby chambliss chairman on the republican side of that committee wants to madeked the president to do so. tonight lawmakers are meeting behind closed doors for a briefing. north going to be the full classified information. synopses so they will get an idea what was that information for what bergdahl was doing that closed door hearing will begin to hear more opinions on both sides. treated with partisanship and everybody is going to go to it their respective corner or more bipartisan approach it. carl levin has announced is he going to have a closed hearing next week. a closed hearing can can often lead to just about nothing. so you have already heard as john mccain said there has to be a full investigation. that's likely to be pushed for particularly hard. democrats are arguing that back in december of 2011. there were discussions in the on the hill with the administration and defense department talking about the obama administration's desire to start a reconciliation afghanistan and the taliban in order to bring american troops home and that at that time the po

. >> reporter: now, let me point out that saxby chambliss is retiring end of the year and the comments are purely in his capacity as the ranking member of the intelligence committee. but also, you have some republicans who are looking for attention, who may be running for president making much different claims but the administration is getting it from really all sides. one republican i'd point is senator rand paul and may run for president in 2016 and let me read to you what he tweeted earlier. he said, mr. president, let's set up a new trade. instead of five taliban, let's trade five democrats. the point here is that this is a big political firestorm, going to continue and maybe a flash point for the midterms. >> yeah. so interesting, erin. you know, the point this is now on both sides. this has -- those in the president's own party really upset, weps the protocol, feeling like they were not included and dianne feinstein saying, quote, we can keep secrets here. do you get a sense that this is becoming a lot more than just partisan? >> reporter: absolutely. i mean, dianne feinstein is

saxby chambliss called the video unconvincing. >> there's no indication that there were any health issues can say that very matter of factually. he was probably coerced into mumbling the words that he mumbled. he didn't look good. >> no. >> but that's not enough to tell me that he's in imminent health danger from a health standpoint. >> in the taliban released video recorded on saturday, bergdahl appeared somewhat dazed but does manage to walk on his own to an american military helicopter. several senators say they want the previous proof of life video made public. meanwhile, bowe bergdahl's hometown of hailey, idaho, has canceled its planned bowe is back event. city ofgficials said they've ben flooded with the angry calls and it doesn't have the resources to handle the thousands of protesters descending on the town. as they wait for him to recover and the debate over to free him intensifies, you have to wonder where the politics should go next. joe is at the national memo, and joan wash is an msnbc political analyst. thank you both for being hee. joe, you wrote a book back in the day, se

do know they also faced pressure from really hard-line chicken hawks in congress like senator saxby chamblissthey encountered quite a bit of pushback. >> and of course the atmosphere in congress, to the congress and the white house has only become more poison and more combative in the period since then. i think in the editorial today in "the new york times" essentially said president obama will face criticism from congress for whatever he does. you would have faced criticism if he did not succeed in bringing -- he would have faced criticism if he did not succeed in bringing bergdahl back and now facing criticism for bringing him back. >> it interesting and disgusting in the same way how a lot of the same people that were loudly whenring for his release it appeared to be to their political benefit to do this are now loudly condemning -- >> because then it was proposing president obama -- >> then it was something to sign the white house with and now it is something, again, this time the white house with. >> senator mccain has been most astounding because he has been on videotape, been on shows

saxby chambliss and diane feinstein are going to vote out a cyber sharing bill this week. i think that is the date -- thursday. this is going to be critically important if we are going to stay in front. this won't solve all our problems. if we're going to stay in front what is on growing threat matrix, just on cyber destructive attacks, we have got to have this bill in place so that the privacy sector with protect itself. right now, any offensive action we would take indicting five chinese intelligence officials who we know who are stealing our offf -- it exposes the 85% networks that won't have the a espionageithstand style attack. those are my immediate priorities. then to continue the internal policy debates we have on things like covert actions on other things we need to get right with the community. i hope to do that before i leave in january. >> catherine? >> thank you. >> welcome back. >> thank you. for a layperson how would you , characterize this relationship between isil and aqap, the skills they're sharing? isn't this relationship that's driving public states fr

i have talked to saxby chambliss, for example. he and senator feinstein are interested in doing something. the senate and house homeland security committees are interested in doing something on this. i really do think people on the hill would try to like -- would like to try to get something done this year. >> one of the things people have talked about that might need to be done is some kind of a federal standard for notification of consumers. if target has been hit, there should be some kind of protocol in which immediately the company knows exactly if they are supposed to contact those people, how, and when. there have been consumer groups who have questioned whether there should be a federal standard. they worry that any kind of federal standard that might get passed in washington right now, in a situation where it is so difficult to have bipartisan legislation of any kind, would be watered down, and it won't be as strong as some of the notification requirements and some of the states, especially california. what is your though

and so saxby chambliss and dianne feinstein are going to vote out a cyber-sharing bill this week, i think thursday. i think that's the day, thursday. this is going to be critically important if we are ever going to stay in front of this problem. this won't solve all our problems. but if we're ever going to stay in front of what is a growing threat matrix, just on cyber disruptive attacks, we have got to have this bill in place so that the private sector can protect itself. and right now, any offensive action we would take, indicting five chinese intelligence official hot we know are stealing our stuff, it exposes the 85% of networks that are private-sector networks that won't have the ability to withstand nation state style attacks both from an espionage perspective or disruption perspective. so those are my immediate priorities. then continue the internal policy debates we have on things like covert action and other things that i think we need to get right with the community. and hope to do that before i leave in january. >> katherine? >> yeah, thank you. thanks for doing this. >> welcom

one of them senator saxby chambliss, is the top republican on the intelligence committee. >> i got a phone call last night apologizing for not giving us advance warning of it. they said it had just been called to their attention that i had not received advance notification of this transaction taking place. >> >> good morning. >> good morning. >> the two video showed a rapid deterioration in bergdahl's health and that's what convinced them to make this deal. >> lawmakers are not convinced of that. they universal lively came out and say we didn't see any evidence he had an acute medical issue. dianne feinstein said he looked undernourished but not necessarily malnourished. >> and the white house chief of staff, who has talked to some of the lawmakers, says well we didn't have the 30 days required by law to inform you. >> lawmakers say okay you had two weeks. you had one week. you certainly had more than half an hour. speaker boehner and other lawmakers were informed through their aides about a half an hour before the white house made this presentation to the public. >> and it is said i

we want to listen to senator saxby chambliss for georgia. yet comments about government surveillance at a bloomberg event. [video clip] went too far on the bulk collection side of it. i wish i could go into the number of times that our agencies have actually access telephone numbers. it is so miniscule. -- anddoes it make sense the companies ask for this -- more transparency on the issue? >> i think you are going to see that. the way the house approached it is a little bit different than and i are and dianne not 100% on this together, but we're pretty close. but we take a little different approach from what they do. there is some people who would like to see the 215 program totally eliminated and there are those of us who think it ought estate basically as it is with some changes. do we need to keep it 5 years? probably not. can telephone companies keep these records versus nsa? i argue that if you need to access it, you need to access it like that. if you don't have that capability, something that can happen. -- something bad can happen. ho

we'll hear from senators kelly ayotte, joe manchin, marco rubio, john mccain, saxby chambliss and lindsay graham. his is 20 minutes. >> my concern from the beginning about this, i've not been reassured, is that the five high risk taliban detainees will not get back and re-engage in the fight against us and our allies. and my -- i was not satisfied from the briefing that i received today that the conditions that they've agreed upon are sufficient to ensure that they won't re-engage back in the fight against us. and threaten either americans or our allies in some way. and so that's been my concern from the beginning. it's been why i've been very focused since i got in the senate on ensuring that the administration in their push to close guantanamo would not transfer high-risk detainees like these five without ensuring that they won't get back and re-engage in the fight. we have a 29% reengagement rate from guantanamo. and i would argue that the conditions upon which these five detainees were -- will be held is a real troubling aspect of this whole thing. because of four of them at least are

we want to bring you the comments from senator saxby chambliss for last week.video clip] recognize this bill has gained a lot of momentum, i think we need to step back and ask ourselves if these changes were necessary. seems to me that this bill was fixing a lot of things that simply were not broken. it will put an end to the section 15 bulk data collection program. all three branches of our government have performed extensive oversight of this program for years and insured that it has operated within accordance of the constitution and u.s. law. the program permits intelligence professionals to conduct historical analysis of suspicious threats in an effort to identify emerging and evolving terrorist networks. the system where this data is maintained is very secure. the number of analyst that can access this data is extremely small. there are a host of multilayered oversight mechanisms in place to detect and resolve compliance issues. my phone data is in there with everyone else's. frankly, i am not worried. i am not worried because i do not talk to terrorist. a

being watched closely since democrats have a decent chance picking up the seat vacated by saxby chambli chambliss> it's based on, i love this, interviews with 41 people who know him best. here's a preview. >> a lot of people don't remember when my dad was elected president, the democrats controlled the congress, and so working in a bipartisan way was essential to get things done and from the inauguration all the way through his four years as president, in spite of an increasing harshness of the political debate, he did what he could to build consensus. >> i think george bush understood and still understands that the way we judge our presidents is on the basis of what element of their program they get passed through the congress, and implemented into law. >> the american people await action. they didn't send us here to bicker. they asked us to rise above the merely partisan. >> it really is amazing, in retrospect now, to see how successful george bush was in getting major legislation passed. >> and let's work together to do the will of the people. >> if you go back and look at the four years that

rounds of negotiations in the last few weeks with the senate on an information sharing bill, so saxby chambliss and dianne feinstein will vote out a cybersharing bill, i think thursday is the day. this is going to be critically important. if we are ever going to stay in -- this won't solve all the our problems, about you if we're ever going to stay in front of what is a growing threat matrix, just on cyberdisruptive attacks, we have got to have this bill in place so that the private sector can protect itself. right now any offensive stapes we would take, it exposes private sector networks that won't have the ability to with stand nation state style of attacks. so those are my immediate priorities, and then to continue the internal policy debates we have on things like covert action and other things i think we need to get right with the community, and i hope to do that before i leave in january. >> catherine? >> thank you. thanks for doing this. >> welcome back >> thank you. for a lay person, how would you characterize this relationship with isil and a qumt ap, the skills they're sharing? is it

cybersecurity was an issue in the primary, but there seems to be a real interest -- i've talked to saxby chambliss for example, the and senator feinstein are interested in doing something. the senate and house homeland security committees are interested in doing something on this. i really do think people o on te hill would try to get something done this year. >> that's great but one of the things people have talked about that might need to be done is some kind of a federal standard for notification of consumers. if the target has been hit in the should be some kind of protocol in which immediately the company knows exactly if they are supposed to contact those people, how and when. >> correct. >> but there've been consumer groups have questioned whether the should be a federal standard, that they were that any kind of federal standard that might get passed in washington right now in some kind of any situation where it's so difficult to bipartisan legislation of any kind, will be watered down. it won't be as strong as some of the notification requirements in some of the states have passed him espe

and there's senator saxby chambli chambliss, racing out of the briefing before it ended. moments later he popped up on fox news. >> in fact, the briefing is still going on, but i don't see how anybody can walk out of there with any kind of comfortable feeling that the administration from a notification standpoint, and i emphasize that, did what they should have done. >> that's ridiculous. the senator skips out of the briefing so he can complain about the briefing on fox news? we've seen gop lawmakers admit outright they don't care about getting all the facts. >> i don't need to know more of the story. the guy deserted his post. his bad behavior does not need to be rewarded and quite frankly, i don't need to know more information about whether his health might have been in jeopardy or not. >> he doesn't need to know more of this story. this is callous, reckless and lays bare the true republican motive. thank you both br being here. is the sg op strategy on bergdahl to go on the attack without worrying about the facts? >> well, that's certainly what the congressman suggests

saxby chambliss and diane feinstein will photo out -- vote out this week. this is going to be critically important if we are going to stay in front. this won't solve all our problems. if we're going to stay in front what is on growing threat matrix, we have got to have this bill in place so that the privacy sector with protect itself. right now, any offensive action we would take indicting five chinese intelligence officials we know who are stealing our stuff, it exposing inner -- networks that won't have the ability of attacks. those are my immediate priorities. then to continue the internal policy debates we have on things like covert actions on other things we need to get right with the community. i hope to do that before i leave in january. >> catherine? >> thank you. how would you characterize this relationship between isil, the skills they're sharing? isn't this relationship that's driving public states from others on the hill that's a direct threat to the u.s. homeland? where do the specific multiple strategic warnings from the ic and isil and if so,
