the special branch, when i left the special branch, which is in 2001, we had hundreds upon hundreds ifof a lot more of them not being blacklisted, say on the consulting agency or even maybe other indices that we're not aware of. no, i'd be stunned if all we actually had is these few activists. so how many workers were caught up in this? the police began investigating this back in 2014. they interviewed over 100 officers and the findings of the inquiry were so sensitive that they were sent directly to the commissioner of the metropolitan police, where they sat for years until, finally, in march 2018, the police admitted that special branch had supplied information to the blacklist. but, crucially, they didn't say how many people were affected. i think it's implausible to think that it comes from anywhere else other than the police. and when people first told me that, i thought that they were just talking nonsense, things like that don't happen in this country. dave smith was an engineer who, like many others, was blacklisted after he became active in his union. he was one of a group of

programme has discovered that the metropolitan police know how many of those were targeted by special branchy if heathrow is going to get a third runway but is the government facing a last minute struggle to get mps to vote in favour of the plan? i know there are other mps who disagree with that

i wonder if you could talk to us a little bit about the special mission of the third branch. why we are so important to the country. how is it functioning and what are the relationships among your colleagues? give us some insight into that. justice roberts: i really fit is any great insight but i will pick up where you left off. the one thing i think it is important to report and i do it often when i am here is that despite what it may look like, relations among the justices are very collegial. we have sharp disagreements on matters that are quite important. outave taken a, no to work and come to our own conclusions. and tried to explain those to the public even when they are in the minority. however direct the disagreements may seem, we are all in it together. who was chiefr justice for a very long time, and it is a good lesson in chiefty that i could name justices no one has heard of, establish this great tradition we have. argument,go in for an we all shake hands with each other. symbolizeis a way to that we are colleagues together even as we are going to have disagreement

that has allowed us a lot of flexibility, i think, that we normally would not have as a special executive branch employee. in 2008, congress created the sheet as part of cd, the function, itunified the ig's into a community and effectiveness and independence abilities more greater than it had been as individual ig's. we kind of parlayed that into our dealings in congress, takes us to sin city, she was the committee chair before me and i inherited a lot of great work from her when i took over, so thank you peg. one of the things we do as an legislation committee is to try to make sure that legislation that congress is considering will be what they are intending to do. the effect will be what they are intending to do. as ig's, we interact into -- regularly with committees. staffers of holger and hs cac know what ig's do, there is no problem there. all ig's has oversight committees of their own, mine in particular, foreign affairs and foreign relations that you have to deal with also. and that does not necessarily good to understand what and ig does. they are legislating for the agency and sometime

more important they reveal things to the specially situated people like devin nunes in congress on the investigatory committees because congress is a co equal branche to have some accountability even if it remains secret to the public. also want to make the point, special counsel is so broad based and can do what they want under the umbrella of investigating anything, and the whole time it put a cloud on trump's agenda for a year and a half. that's another reason why we need to have its parameters tightened in the future. mark: as a matter of fact, on the issues of the prarameters of the special counsel. i read two memos, it's been the position of the united states department of justice, half a century, really, pretty much, it's been the position of the united states department of justice, regardless of my opinion or yours or yours or the worlds that you cannot indict a sitting president and provide in exquisite detail why. one them is this, you are dragging down a president of the united states doing something like this. and imagine if he has to defend himself. we all have rights to defend ourselves under the constitution, look at the bill of rig

on other hand, we haveç the executive branch appointing a special council to investigate the presidenteems to be political grounds and political ground only. that undermines the notion everyone is subject to the law, an even and equal basis. that is the problem that you have here with this mueller investigation where we haven't even seen the scope letter. they have not been transparent to the body that responds to the public and that is the legislative branch. and, it is really a problem that also cements in the divisiveness we see in our society today. trish: agreed. congressman, in some ways, has vladmir putin gottenctly what he wanted? i mean if his goal, when he set out to tinker with our elections was to sort of undermined our confidence in the system and create further division, making us increasingly ungovernable, hasn't he succeeded on that front? >> yeah. i think that is one of his goals. i don't think he particularly wanted trump or hillary clinton one over the other. i think what he wanted to do, exactlyç what he said, call ino question the very, the very foundational idea

sound and a sense that the president does have broad powers over the actions of the executive branch and the specialel is most certainly a part of that. the question whether he would have to answer process, respond to a subpoena i think is anothe another. we do know that the supreme court has ruled that richard nixon had to produce material evidence which he ultimately did. whether that would extend to sitting for an interview or being called before a grand jury has never been fully adjudicated but i think the president may be on not as strong ground there. his legal team may be not as on strong ground there arguing. >> some very interesting questions about the trump team's relationship to the truth. the letter make clear that donald trump himself dictated the statement that was given about donald trump jr.'s meeting with russian agents. this happened months ago but you have one of trump's attorneys and sarah sanders publicly on the record saying the exact opposite. by trying to put forward a legal case the trump team has opened themselves up to more questions about whether they are telling the trut

found in that the president has broad powers over the actions of the executive branch of which the justice department and specialounsel is most certainly a part. the question whether hewould have to answer process , so respond to a subpoena is another. we do know the supreme court has ruled richard nixon had to produce material evidence which he ultimately did. whether that would extend to sitting for an interview, or being called before a grand jury has never been fully adjudicated. i think the president may not be on as strong ground there arguing that. >>chris: marie. >> the letter opens interesting questions about the trump teams relationship to the truth. the letter made clear that donald trump himself dictated the statement that was given to the press about donald trump jr.'s meeting with russian agents. happened months ago. but you had - - one of trump's attorneys and sever standards publicly on the record saying the exact opposite. by trying to put forward a legal case, the trump team has opened themselves to more questions about whether they're telling the truth on russia and that is a problems be one a

branch. in a letter delivered to special counsel robert mueller back in january and published by "the new york times" on saturday, the president's lawyers argue that his actions by virtue of his position as the chief law enforcement officer could neither constitutionally nor legally cute obstruction because that would amount to him obstructing himself. think about that. and that he could, if he wished, terminate the inquiry or even exercise his pardon to power, if he so desired. it's a similar argument to the one nixon famously made after leaving office. >> when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal. >> by definition? >> exactly. >> in introduce over the weekend, rudy giuliani, who joined the president's legal team after the letter was sent to mueller acknowledged the potential political consequences if the president were to pardon himself. >> president trump is not going to do that. he's obviously not going to give up any of his pardon powers or any other future president's pardon powers, but under these circumstances he is not going to do that. the president of the united

special ig for the afghan recovery effort. then we brought in folks who had executive branch experience, but also had the background with congress, as well. ed, the deputy director for management at the office budget management and the clinton administration. omb has a critical role with the ig's. they cochair the council of ig's for integrity and efficiency. a very close relationship across government, with multiple ids. find,e what the ig's congress will find of interest and effects management, which is the m in omb. robert is a longtime colleague of mine from the house and senate. he also worked at omd during the bush years and ended up being ski for chaff -- chief of staff. robert has tremendous experience in the government management area. he also sat on a commission that recently made recommendations on evidence-based policymaking for the federal government. this is could ago. we will talk in our report about the involving role of ig's and for ig's to fit into the evidence agenda. this agenda is interesting, because it is an attempt to infuse data analytics and into whether federal programs and policies are actually workin

the tension between the special counsel and the presidency creates a separation of powers issue. the executive branch of government is in fact answerable to him. kennedy: that was part of basis of the 20-page memo that fox news got ahold of that leaked over the weekend. we talk about the constitutional crises and the rule of law and checks and balances. we speak of the constitution as though it's something that's very static. whose conclusion were reached quite easily. but as you point out in your book, that's not necessarily the case. the way you talk about the forgotten members of thing conversation regarding the constitution almost remind me of the scientific method and how that came to be. >> that's exactly right. i appreciate you raising that issue. we have provisions of the constitution we have forgotten about. at the same time for i am there are reasons about the lost founders, forgotten found horse had been fighting big government for a long time about the fir quoi --about the i the iriqois f government. we forgot about that principle i am tbhet -- in the 10th amend. kennedy: a scholar of law

supreme court there are equal branches of government that is very clear so the president's powers can be checked he can be questioned and certainly that's what the special counsel was appointed to do now the president can also be impeached by an equal branch of government it can be done by the house of representatives and then he can be removed by from office by the u.s. senate if it chooses to do so what i think we've got ourselves into once again is another legal debate by constitutional experts i can tell you what public opinion is though if the president were to exercise some of what he's been claiming he has the right to do given the divided political atmosphere in the united states right now there is no question there would be widespread rust it turning into a legal expert and you were his lawyer kimberly thanks very much for joining us. and the seven people have been killed in a suicide bombing in afghanistan's capital kabul it happens a thousands of religious scholars were leaving a gathering of the city's polytechnic university and the they announced a decree against the war in afghanistan the taliban to accept the government's peace offer no g

special ig for the afghan recovery effort. then we brought in folks who had executive branch experience but also kind of had that back ground with congress as well. we had the deputy director for management at the office of management and budget in the clinton administration. omb has a critical role with the igs. they co chair the council of igs for integrity and efficiency. they have a close relationship across government with multiple igs because what the igs find often times congress will find of interest and it affects management, which is the m in omb. we had robert shay. robert is a long time colleague of mine from the house and the senate, but robert also worked at omb during the bush years, and ended up being the chief of staff for omb director. robert has tremendous experience in the government management area. he also sat on a commission that recently made recommendations on evidence-based policy making for the federal government. this is critical because we will talk a little bit in our report about the involving role of igs and where igs fit into this evidence agenda. and this evidence agenda is interesting because i

special counsel investigation. how is there the disconnect between what the president believes and other branches of the administration. >> the president has been clear. he was very involved in his campaign and he's laid out a number of times that there was no collusion. he strongly feels this is a witch hunt. the president has also said the ig report called into question the credibility of james comey and many other senior fbi investigators who've been involved in the russia investigation and that report validates the claims he's made repeatedly. >> reporter: the governor of massachusetts, a republican, reversed course and ordered the national guard not to send assets or personnel to the southwest border. he said the actions of the federal government are resulting in the inhumane treatment of children. would you comment on that and have you seen any impact on border operations? >> i haven't seen his comments specifically but i would tell him he should call every member of congress, those in his own state and asked to fix a loss. there is one body that gets to create legislation, and it's congress. our job is to enfor

branch to comply with congressional oversight requests. >> democrats dismissed the president to spy allegations and offended special counsel robert mueller. >> there is no evidence of a spy. collusion, less way to find out what mueller finds out. everyone should leave them alone, let him get to the bottom, and hear what he has to say. a speaker the house intelligence committees' ranking of the justice department offer was --g russia case. "the further disclosure or investigative materials of the next bookable. the doj is now reinforcing a president it will have to live with whether the congress is in republican or democratic hands." a former justice department official said it comes down to powerful competing interests, robust congressional oversight versus the departments need to protect ongoing investigations. shannon? >> shannon: catherine herridge, thank you very much. speaker paul ryan's comments at the fbi acted appropriately with regard to surveillance and investigation of potential russian interference in the presidential election are getting mixed reaction. here's democratic minnesota senate candidate richard paynter on tucker t

special organized crime unit. you know they told them to step out of the vehicle put handcuffs on. and told them to climb into a branch. that model and then they headed toward part us us. so you got and they also took my brother and nephew scar. and they were never seen again that. this wasn't the last into it and i received the reports saying that there must have been a mistake. beaten but there were alive. there was no connection with organized crime and we needed to stop kicking up a fuss. so they would probably be freed shortly scanned the locals who lament a little bit idea. but that never happened so if you. are you may martin so read only very interesting specially outside mexico about many people believe that different criminal gangs are killing each other here. they're making. that's also the line the mexican government has been taking but i'm not going to intervene in order to avoid intervening and facing up to its responsibility. responsibly. he who still look at us what we want to do. show everyone including the international criminal court. that this doesn't just involve criminal gangs. and. there's also

special counsel sitting in on this? because all the american people know that hillary is guilty. well, the issue is about accountability and transparency. i think the legislative branch of our government has to do a better job of government oversight. we are going to have to start using the powers that are afforded to the legislative tonch and the constitution not only demands documents, but to get them. it appears that not just the fbi, but in some cases other organizations within the bureaucracy of our executive branch have been less than forthright about providing needs to that congress conduct its appropriate oversight functions. about makingis sure the congress exercises its authority in accordance with the constitution. rene, joining us from west chester, pennsylvania. good morning. you?od morning, how are say is everyone is complaining, all the fbi agents are bad. it is just not true. it is just like with police officers. sometimes there are bad actors. with the fbi, there were bad actors. there are still a lot of good fbi agents. beenhe bad actors have fired and dealt with in the fbi. but there is a lot going on with trump and a lot of financial things that h

the hs i branch is under a lot of pressure, the special agents want to do child porn investigation, drugder ice. the coast guard is having trouble in california with local law enforcement because it is part of the hs so it is not about abolishing ice, they are frustrated and want to do the job, centauri cities will work with them so they think of they move out and get out of the ice moniker they will be able to work better. i think that is wrong. what we need to do is fix the sanctuary cities and outlaw sanctuary cities as far as these senators and congressmen vilifying ice, strap against your hips, stand on the trail at 3:00 in the morning in total darkness waiting for someone to come meet you whether they are illegal alien drug traffickers, do that job, stand that post and i know -- >> 34 years, we want to thank you for that, how are you feeling knowing it is your last day and you're retiring? >> i'm proud to serve my country 34 years, biggest honor of my life to be acting director of ice, i have mixed emotions, leaving in the love a fight. i'm insulted a lot of democrats and congressm

special counsel or something on this? because everybody, all the american people know that hillary is guilty. >> guest: well, the issue is about accountability and transparency. and i think the legislative branch of our government has to do a better job of government oversight. and we're going to have to start using the powers that are afforded to the legislative branch under the constitution to not only demand documents, but to get them. because it appears that not just the fbi, but in some cases other organizations within the bureaucracy of our executive branch have been less than forthright about providing documents that congress needs to conduct its appropriate oversight functions. so it really is about making sure that congress exercises its authority in acorps dance with the c constitution. -- accordane with the constitution. >> host: renee joining us from west chester, pennsylvania, democrats' linee, with congressn emmer. good morning, renee. >> caller: good morning, how are you? >> host: we're great, how are you. >> caller: everyone's complaining all the fbi agents are bad. it's not true. it's just like with police officers. sometimes there's bad actors. and with the fbi, there were ba

special prosecutor knowing about your letter knows about it? >> if they subpoenaed the house to provide information then you would have a fight between two branchs of government. not unlike the fight that the gop is trying to provoke with the justice department right now. i don't recommend that. i don't see why the majority would resist providing these materials to the special counsel, unless they want to protect some of the close associates of the president from prosecution. that would be an illegitimate reason to do it. but it's hard for them to articulate why they would object to this. this is one of the reasons we made it public, they have not responded to our requests. they've shown know signs of being willing to assist the special prosecutor. >> i want to get yourry reaction to speaker ryan the other day when the president was talking about pardoning himself, speaker ryan didn't take a position on whether the president could pardon himself but he did say the phrase, no one is above the law. and that brought out criticism from the hard-core trump followers. >> this has been throughout the administration. the speaker has been asked to defend

branch of government do. does it step in and say now, there's a bridge too far as we have had signals of even though they have not passed, legislation to protect the specialounsel which i believe is the right thing to do. >> i think the larger context is that donald trump is putting out all of this pressure. you have these reports that the federal prosecutors in d.c. are actively investigating andy mccabe and interviewing about him and that's the twitter divisions in the fbi and doj trump wanted and these public flirtations with pardons and documenting all over the crimes or allegations facing his own people seems to be billing a set of ways to cash this out and ru rudy -- one might say a guilty-sounding argument and the hold ear holder builds on that, take a listen. >> if you pardon somebody, they don't have much to worry about on what the pardon covers. if bob mueller wants to take a pardon to person. that person no longer has the ability to say i want to -- then that person becomes a perfect witness for the special counsel. >> nelson your analysis. >> so i think we have to bear in mind two things. where is he going? the show down can happen as early as

branch of government do? does it step in and say that's a bridge too far as we've had signals of, even though they haven't passed legislation to protect the specialounsel, which i believe is the right thing to do. >> right, and nelson, i want to play some more from eric holder because i think the larger context, of course, is that donald trump is putting out all of this pressure. you have these reports that the federal prosecutors in d.c. are actively investigating andy mccabe who became a very public enemy of the president as a potential witness to obstruction. they are now reportedly interviewing james comey about mccabe's deputy. that's cannexactly the twitter-driven in the fda that the president wanted. they all overlap with the kind of crimes or allegations facing his own people seems to be building a set of ways for him to cash this out. then of course the ultimate is rudy giuliani basically saying, forget what they find. forget even if they find felonies that reach the highest office in the land. we ultimately think we can win an impeachment fight. which is an incredibly negative, cynical, one might even say guilty-sounding argument. then

branch, spying on members of the opposing campaign. lots of questions. he is saying i'm going to fight fire with fire. you are doing things i view extra constitutional, including a special acting more like i said and confirmed actor. he says i'm going to fight it. >> shannon: i want to play a little bit of what ed markey had to say about this. here's his take. >> it's not a rule of trump. it's a rule of law that we live under the united states of america. even in 1974, richard nixon's justice department made it quite clear that nixon could not pardon himself. the same thing is true here. >> shannon: he is referring to a memo written by acting assistant attorney general has set under the fundamental role that no one can be a judge in his own case, the president cannot pardon himself. 1974. >> nixon hoped it would be possible, but it wasn't. this is, remember we are in the middle of spin wire, a political campaign that rudy giuliani is waging in the press on behalf of donald trump at his request to spin things a certain way so as to form the opinions among trump supporters and others and congressional republicans were supine and completely acquiescent at this point. >> sh

special set of skills she called on now. she had been trained in tracking, reading trails, disturbed vegetation, just like the scouts in the old west. the pattern of broken branches and tamped-down leaves and soil told her that the body had lain out here about a week. >> is there anything that suggested to you why this woman would have been abandoned here? >> no. and that was part of the complexity of this investigation. we had all sorts of avenues that we needed to investigate. we had the transient population that may have been frequenting the trailer park. we had a mental health facility that was very close by, within walking distance. >> but detective decker did have a strong hunch about who this victim was. the cross necklace, the tattoo. it all checked out as that local woman, nicole pietz, who had been missing for a week. the diamond tennis bracelet she always wore was not on her wrist, but police were confident enough in their tentative i.d. to pay a visit to nicole's husband, david. and the information david pietz would soon share with detectives about when his wife was last seen and what she left behind would be critical to the case. >>> coming up -- but

special counsel's indictments thus far have spelled out how paul manafort's consulting business in the former soviet union, it took millions of dollars a year from pro-russian political interests. ultimately, he branched out, not just from -- branched out beyond politics into doing business dealings in the region as well, including some attempted business partnerships with a somewhat terrifying russian oligarch who is close to vladimir putin and who famously cannot get a visa to visit the united states because of his alleged ties to organized crime. according to multiple civil lawsuits about their failed business dealings, paul manafort ended up owing that guy, oleg deripaska, many millions of dollars. i don't know any of the people involved here personally, but i'm guessing that oleg deripaska is not the kind of guy who was very comfortable to owe millions of dollars to. i'm just sort of thinking he might be the kind of guy that that keeps you up at night. konstantin kilimnik appears to be paul manafort's right-hand man both in terms of his political work in ukraine but also his business dealings in that part of the world including his dealings with oleg deripaska. and then kilimnik turns up in these
