whistleblower edward snowden published his memoir permanent record last fall it debuted at number 2 on the new york times bestseller list and went on to be a smashing success and now it appears that the united states government will be getting a cut of mr snowden's profits as the new york times reports almost immediately upon its release the u.s. justice department sued mr snowden seeking to seize his proceeds from his new memoir because he did not submit the manuscript for review before it was published so officials could make sure it contained no classified information well that lawsuit has come to its conclusion the united states the good search judge liam o'grady of alexandria virginia has ruled that a 14 page opinion that snowden was in breach of his employment contract that requires authors to get approval for material containing any mention of intelligence data or activities or any other information or material which is known to be classified the government will also now be going after proceeds from his speeches as well now this is not the 1st time that the u.s. government has g

we launched this in the aftermath of disclosures about both a fake election by former contractor snowden, the nsa itself was a fairly obscure agency unfan with most americans and as we kick off our 2019 conference, we find that now even intelligence oversight is itself very much in public headlines. we have an impeachment proceeding kicked off in significant part by reports from the -- from the intelligence community's inspector general. we have forth coming next week a breathlessly awaited report on allegations of misuse of the foreign intelligence surveillance act during the 2016 presidential campaign. we have proceedings aired, going to be from the house intelligence committee. so even intelligence overseers now are at the center of our political discourse in the way the intelligence agencies themselves began to be earlier in this cycle, in the way that was really unprecedented since the 1970's. so, we have a special focus this year on not just the intelligence agencies itself, but also the mechanisms in place to oversee them. one of the kind of classic problems of intelligence and of

isn't limited to doctors sculptures of him and 2 other whistleblowers chelsea manning and edward snowden have reappeared in central in the 1st unveiled their 3 over there 4 years ago the collection is called anything to say it's now returned to its former place near the brand of gate after world war the artist behind it says it represents those who dare to say no to global surveillance or to make a stand against lies that lead to war r.t. spoke to sorrow connect from the german left party she told us the art pieces bring to life the hypocrisy surrounding freedom of speech. is. this culture attracts attention to this incredible scandal it is to journalists and whistleblowers to uncover crimes are sitting in jail today while those who committed these crimes are not held accountable and this has nothing to do we do rule of law and therefore it is very good though we are now so close to the right because here is the federal government which could have started to act on this issue a long time ago and for example could provide a sound snowden asylum in germany. well song is currently being hel

ed snowden has now told his story in a new book called "permanent record."n moscow. >> something you've been asked before. something you have answered before. but since this is a fresh occasion, we'll -- we'll ask it again. why not stay in this country and face the music if you believed in the strength of your conviction? >> this is a great question, brian, and i'm glad you asked it. when we say face the music, the question is, well, what song are they playing? i was intentionally charged. as every major whistle-blower in the last decades has been. with a very particular crime. this is a violation of the espionage act of 1917. and -- and this is a law that is explicitly designed to prohibit a meaningful defense in court. i would not have received a fair trial. there would not have been much of a trial at all. i would only have received a sentencing. and the question there is, what message does that send, whether you like me or not. i could be the best person in the world. i could be the worst. what message does a conviction where you spend the rest of your l

that the disclosures from stone snowden raised serious questions about invasions of privacy for the us government so he was clearly an outlier in that on that issue and i think he's continued to be an outlier so it would be a smart move for speaker pelosi to include him on the list of the impeachment managers but i should say while he's a republican who has left the republican party over this it looks like we're going to have one democrat who leaves the democratic party over this that's congressman wynn drew of new jersey who is going to vote against impeachment he's a democrat from a. district in new jersey that was voted for trump and the indications are that he's going to join the republican party well if you're just joining us now with our coverage of the impeachment process let's introduce you to the 3 experts who we have with us has to help us break down what's happening in washington we have philip bobbitt he is a former associate counsel to the office of the president under president casa and is also a professor at columbia law school he's also written a book called and peac

i wasn't -- i wouldn't want to take credit for boston or snowden.s really how i met andy mccabe, through the boston bombing and then through the work post-snowden and assisting the white house in the post-intelligence reforms. but i can't say i played an investigative role in either one of those. >> so you were involved in the response to those incidents but you don't want to take more credit than you deserve for having been involved in those -- >> that's right. >> okay. let me start at the sort of beginning. given that in particular. can you tell me how you ended up at the fbi? let's start at the beginning in terms of how your career started and why you ended up in the position you're in? >> sure. i have always wanted to be in public service as young as 14. i kind of knew this is where i was going, and i was lucky enough to join the justice department through the attorney general honors program. so i was a federal prosecutor for six years. but those jobs at main justice have you on the road a lot. and so i was tired of it after six years of kind of

snowden at one point said that he could've walked in and been targeted a federal judge. that was not true, that was never true. i had never been the case that anyone analyst could go in and put someone up on collection, under 702. not only to the program not allow it, from a procedure stand part but the technology did not allow it either. so that starts internally. there is also a very substantial, and within the executive agency oversight program, that is a joint program between the department of justice and my office at the director of national intelligence. they look at every single one of those targeting decisions. they look at those all those that are made. they look at the disseminations that are made when they involve u.s. persons information's rights. if you are sharing permission outside of your agent to eat c to another agency, that is called dissemination and that involves a u.s. person and as reviewed. they look at the retention decisions, and importantly was we will get into, they look at the queries. those instances where they are looking for specific u.s.

proceeds from edward snowden's new book will go to the government, a judge ruling the nsa weaker violatedecy agreement and did not get clearance to publish his memoir, permanent record. snowden has been living in a file to avoid prosecution, faces that he and i charges after leaking classified documents in 2013. >> the gift that keeps on giving over time. best stocks to give this holiday season, cbs market analyst. merry christmas to you. you look festive with your shoes and tie. >> the point of giving a gift of stock is to look at something that is not going to be a quick hit. something to have long-term value, gift that keeps on giving. when i was a kid and use to get a us savings bond. might as well have gotten cold at that point. and investment over time. >> what are the best stocks for stocking stuffers. >> there is not going to be any huge surprise because you want to look at something with real long-term value. i would say to begin with, amazon, the company has changed the world, don't think it is going anywhere, great company to own in the future. disney, mickey and company, you c

by the way, it was precious to edward snowden. that's what got him involved in .is career of revelation i think we're going to need -- i think it's going to take a lot , more ingenuity than the current democratic party is demonstrating, to redirect public discourse in a way that it needs to be redirected. dnc and theamong democratic establishment, as well as among most of the major media, is a longing for the status quo anti-trump. i don't think that's enough. the reason trump was elected was because there was serious shortcomings in that status quo neoliberal,way that pro-market forces had taken over the democratic party to a large extent, almost as much as it had artie taken over the republican party. not quite the same fundamentalist tinge. more of a technocratic tinge. they were not satisfying popular needs. i think we need a reorientation of the democratic party in a way that would satisfy a social democratic direction. that would involve -- a couple years ago, i and a number of historians and political scientists who wrote a

[laughter] i write about them in the book but around the snowden experience. but honestly i can't name them all but there's also a lot of good days with the opening to cuba and we really stuck the landing on that. two years of secret negotiations and then we could unveil all of that simultaneously and effectively. in the day is worthy of celebration but pure joy. >>. >> when you introduce it in your book your first and last meeting with president trump. tell us about that. >> my first and only encounter with donald trump occurred at the 2015 correspondents dinner which is an odious affair. and by the way thank you to the presidents that attend that with regularity. so i'm sitting at my table facing forward and it's a break in the program where people are up and about and i sense from behind a presence. [laughter] literally it's grabbing me by the shoulders almost pulling me out of my chair and i turned around and it's donald trump. he hugged me. and i had never met him before. [laughter] so i'm kind of freaked out. and he holds me. this was not touchy-feely ph
