the f.b.i. will not agree to amend the m.o.u. which is why the chief issued the bureau order. however, a significant problem is that the f.b.i. special agent in charge has told us all in separate meetings that the f.b.i. will continue to block key parts of local policy central to accountability and oversight. this is what this is about. but more than that there's a solution and it doesn't necessitate a divorce from the joint terrorism task force. there are now two ways for local law phone ersment to participate in the jttf. this is -- this has been a chance even since the last time we spoke before the commission. one of the ways is the ways we're currently engaged. an m.o.u. in which sfpd resources are put into the hands of f.b.i. with relatively no local control. the other way is via a resolution which was just approved by federal government in portland. which allows participation in the joint terrorism task force but provides much better protection for civil rights and gives the sfpd and the po

the f.b.i. was out there murdering potential witnesses against him. >> rose: we conclude this evening with rick stengel, the editor of "time" magazine who write this is week's cover story on the constitution. >> whether people can carry guns in arizona whether drone warfareiolates t constitution, whether obamacare violates the commerce clause, those are not crises. what the constitution is fors to deal with conflict. there was no greater conflict in some ways in american hiory than the conflict in that room when those framers were writing the constitution. they were disagreeing about the most basic principles, including of course,slavery, which was the original constitution. >> rose: more on afghanistan, the arrest of a notorious criminal and a new look at the constitution when we continue. every story needs a hero we can all root for. who beats the odds and comes out on top. but this isn't just a hollywood storyline. it's happening every day, all across america. every time a storefront opens. or

of course the f.b.i.'s transformation is not complete as we must continually evolve to meet the ever changing threats of today and tomorrow. and as i discussed the transformation of the bureau, i must say i am uncomfortable about much of the intention that has been placed on me or put on me, my reason of this being the end of my term. the credit for these changes goes to the men and women of the f.b.i. who have responded remarkably to the challenges i have laid out both in the past and present. let me conclude by thanking the committee on behalf of all f.b.i. employees for your continued support of the f.b.i. and its mission. the committee has been an essential part of our transformation and this legislation has contributed greatly to our ability to meet today's various threats. thank you. i look forward to answering any questions. >> thank you. your statement will be placed in the record. my questions will be brief. you and i talk often as you do with other members. and have always been available. i remem

some concern that the f.b.i. here states that whether there's a conflict between standards or requirements of the participating agents in the f.b.i., the standard or requirement that provides the, quote, greatest organizational protection or benefit will apply. unless the organizations jointly resolve the conflict otherwise. is it your intention in the part of the command staff that to the greatest extent possible that where it is appropriate for them absent the factor of the jttf being present that they would have the same access and the ability to investigate whether or not to sustain charges in the event of an allegation of officer misconduct? >> with regard to the san francisco police officers, yes. that's the reason why we asked the officers to identify themselves as sfpd, where then the ordinary complaint process that all officers are subject to would kick in. commissioner chan: that brings me to section 6-a of the m.o.u. wherein it states that jttf members are strictly for biden from disclosing any classifi

leonard peltier so the f.b.i.'s actually organized demonstrations around the country to protest against the possible parole or probation of leonard peltier this is a lobby by the f.b.i. which really is culpable for the murder of many a scores of native american activists and trying to say historically if there was violence it was all because of of the indigenous people not the f.b.i.'s ongoing covert war against the indian people i don't happen thing that that supporters like yourself argue what is the most compelling piece that i have a chance at that well well we know from the from the church hearings in one thousand nine hundred sixty s. or senate hearings that the cointelpro operation by the f.b.i. targeted political activists they targeted them for assassination surveillance they tried to create divisions within groups in the case of the american indian movement that was rampant that's all part of the record and we can see from the evidence from the trials that the the the the prosecution in the f.b.i. asserte

congressional approval so who is right then we'll speak to an activist whose home was raided by the f.b.i. last year it's back but first let's take a look at what the mainstream media is covering while missing these bigger stories . well it seems like there is no happy ending for wiener gate it is morning all knew it was interrupted on every single channel for a breaking news announcement. if you future as a question of congressman weiner i won't be answering any i've made the statements i'm going to make my understanding that later in the jay he will be having a press conference and after that i will have a statement available and just tell you that up front are we go back to that what let's just say the breaking news this morning was the fact that congressman anthony weiner was going at to resign and that was the culmination of everything of the media had been hoping for after incessantly pounding the war drums about a text message of a congressman's underwear after slaving away for weeks to bring. the story of amends in moral and ethical proportions so the spotlight they have been rede

the f.b.i. finally got its man. >> reporter: as a career criminal, james "whitey" bulger rose to the very top of the f.b.i.'s most-wanted list. but for the last 16 years, the notorious boston mob boss was a ghost, leading authorities on a fruitless and frustrating worldwide manhunt. despite countless tips and reported sightings from italy to indiana, he remained invisible. but today, there he was in federal court in los angeles. bulger had finally been arrested late yesterday after he was tracked to this santa monica, california, apartment. richard deslauriers is the f.b.i.'s top agent in boston. >> we have captured one of the f.b.i.'s ten most wanted fugitives, a man notorious in boston and around the world for very serious crimes he is alleged to have committed. >> reporter: bulger headed boston's irish mob, a group called the winter hill gang. he's charged with 19 murders, extortion, drug dealing and money laundering. bulger's alleged gangland activities and explosive temper were the inspirati

of course the f.b.i.'s transformation is not complete as we must continually evolve to meet the ever changing threats of today and tomorrow. and as i discussed the transformation of the bureau, i must say i am uncomfortable about much of the intention that has been placed on me or put on me, my reason of this being the end of my term. the credit for these changes goes to the men and women of the f.b.i. who have responded remarkably to the challenges i have laid out both in the past and present. let me conclude by thanking the committee on behalf of all f.b.i. employees for your continued support of the f.b.i. and its mission. the committee has been an essential part of our transformation and this legislation has contributed greatly to our ability to meet today's various threats. thank you. i look forward to answering any questions. >> thank you. your statement will be placed in the record. my questions will be brief. you and i talk often as you do with other members. and have always been available. i remem

by the f.b.i. in the secret service that it's now riddled with paranoia and mistrust and they estimate that one in four hackers is now working with the f.b.i. and secretly informing on their peers so how much of that is truth and how much of it is just an attempt to save face in a very public hacks keep happening joining me from our studio in new york is john young who runs the document leaking site cryptome dot org john thank you so much for joining us tonight. now johnny you've been in the game for quite a long time and i think that it's easy for anybody to assume that there is a lot of paranoia there's a lot of mistrust that goes along with being somebody who's a hacker who has to hide their identity from the feds often because you think that has gotten worse is there more mistrust more paranoia at least that's popped up in the last couple years now that the feds have i guess more intelligence gathering capabilities. well what is happening is that paranoia and suspicion has actually started to be

now just the other day we told you about the f.b.i.'s new guidelines they'll soon be issuing as reported by the new york times the loosening of the rules of the f.b.i.'s general counsel is described as a fine tuning or tweaking rather than major changes but isn't really now the changes include allowing agents to search a group or person proactively without having to make any records of it allowing them to tail people more than once during a proactive assessment searching people's trash to find a potential informant attending up to five meetings of a group undercover eliminating extra supervision of investigations of politicians or journalists if they are witnesses or not suspects and eliminating any protections for low profile blogs so let's get to the bottom of why these changes matter here to discuss this with me is julian sanchez a research fellow at the cato institute thanks so much for being here tonight always a pleasure first starters didn't the f.b.i. just update some of their guidelines about three years ago i mean has there be

a terrifying plot the f.b.i. claims to have toward the suspects quickly dubbed the new book for our poor illiterate ex conflicts with neither passports nor licenses no direction by a foreign entity or a real terrorist group instead direction came from shahid hussein a pakistani immigrant on the f.b.i. payroll reportedly paid nearly one hundred thousand dollars for his services f.b.i. operatives provided the fake c four and actually showed a fake stinger missile according to court testimony hussein recruited the economically strapped defended spy offering carson cash to carry out the orchestrated operation then the agent provocateur testified as the government's key witness in post nine eleven on there are the f.b.i. has upped its anti against terrorism allegedly boiling hot summers the country question is will there be any lots of oil with our government form in place to help create that despite surprisingly little criticism from amnesty international and human rights watch others have expressed a lord over what t

the f.b.i. finally got a break in an old case by using a new method. in the end, it only cost the f.b.i. $50,000 and a bit of macho pride to catch whitey bulger. after spending 16 years and a small fortune in time and manpower searching for the elusive mob boss, the boston f.b.i. hit on a new tactic. instead of focusing on bulger, how about targeting his girlfriend? >> have you seen this woman? >> reporter: the boston f.b.i. convinced headquarters to produce this television commercial detailing the habits of bulger's companion, catherine grieg. the idea was to move beyond wanted posters and target female viewers watching afternoon television or surfing the internet. lead boston agent rick deslauriers, who made a career working counterintelligence and chasing spies, had to overcome some skepticism, selling the concept to the top brass. >> we were trying to think outside the box on this one, bob, and really be creative and use the power of the worldwide internet and social media. >> reporter: the f

assessment of you or the fact that the f.b.i. is watching you which obviously should come as no surprise when you know a mutual friend of ours stephen webster with raul story dot com broke the story yesterday and i want to think thank you kiran for releasing the report because i feel the american police are too secretive about their operations against its citizens and answer your questions on your question i've always stated i want the feds to watch me i want them to read my emails i want them to listen to my phone calls i want them to follow me so true that i'm not doing anything illegal or immoral or that could be dangerous to our country well you say that they're there to secretive law enforcement tells to secret if you want to know anything about that from experience what do you know well my experience in law enforcement being one of the x. top drug enforcement agents i had a feeling i actually knew the feds were watching me that i didn't think they were to inform as in their report they gave me a low risk rating which is good

., with the active complicity of the f.b.i. was out there murdering potential witnesses against him. >> rose: we conclude this evening with rick stengel, the editor of "time" magazine who write this is week's cover story on the constitution. >> whether people can carry guns in arizona whether drone warfareiolates t constitution, whether obamacare violates the commerce clause, those are not crises. what the constitution is fors to deal with conflict. there was no greater conflict in some ways in american hiory than the conflict in that room

so why not the f.b.i. . as always the premise for convincing you to give up your rights is fear and the government is hard at work at all levels to make sure that you are afraid of everything they can convince you to need protection from including your neighbors and the band era county sheriff's office down in texas they want to remind you that if you see something say something in fact they want so far less there is a is the issue a warning to citizens to alert them to a growing presence of a sovereign citizens movement you know free people be aware of the free people they will make you want comfortable that you are a wage slave now this is part of a much broader demonization of what they're calling the sovereign citizens movement but really it's part of a more broad attempt to control people anyways according to captain charlie hicks the county has quote domestic terrorism right at their doorstep the sovereign citizens movement is based around the idea of federal invalidity and refutation of the fourteenth

chief executive of digital one the f.b.i. had been interested in one of the company's clients and despite being provided the necessary information to pinpoint the servers for a specific ip address they took entire server racks so once again it looks like the government is trying to respond to hacktivists but do they have any idea what they're actually doing or discuss this with me is julian sanchez a research fellow at the cato institute julian thanks so much for being here tonight thank you for starters do you any do you have any other details that i may be missing on this story like i said we tried to contact the f.b.i. see if we could find anything out to you know they've been pretty tight lipped about this several news reports have suggested this involves investigation of the hacker group as you mentioned but beyond that we're not sure one of the disturbing things about this though from a first amendment perspective in addition to the concerns that they incidentally ended up taking down a whole bunch of sites including boo

and writing i hope that the f.b.i. that one way hope to hope not but what's happened is that. because there was dug a lot of pushback a bunch of the creation of the electronic frontier foundation and the will he says were alarmed turn back down so i'm actually i'm like you should put an apology after this well they haven't issued an apology but i'll give you a moment turn off your phone there are not a full of this graphic but i think we should have we reached out to the f.b.i. and surprise surprise they did not. give us this news scoop they just said an ongoing investigation when i was calm at the moment blah blah blah but declan you know one thing i do sort of want to get out here is that do you have any sense of whether there's a ramp up of i don't cracking down on hacking attacks by federal officials. i think the answer is yes some have to be yes there's i mean this is something that is concerning yet the idea of most long going investigations this comes amid deals with you interested to verify last year i also want to have been a part of the pack once you have it in for gu

what do you say the f.b.i. finally got it right i think at the met i think it's amazing based on by the keeper tonight i had no idea until they go through i think any one of the you know if you're going down that they would but i think it's great i mean they brought them in to teach the f.b.i. how to talk to people that they generally disdain and can handle kind of what they stand for and learn how to deal with that i think that's kind of perfect seriously so crazy almost makes sense i mean the idea is let's bring in absolute nut bags the nuttiest of the but in a way to teach people like there's a difference between someone who is stone crazy and someone who is stone crazy and a threat to someone that actually has a clue violent people and how to use it for for the f.b.i. and all law enforcement out of the kind that they do to them and you know they said they got manipulated but who knows we don't really know ok i don't know if we have time to play this clip let's play it really quick. so you sample the saliva i

a group loosely do we have any other indication that this could be some sort of an effort of by the f.b.i. to investigate that group. we have a few news reports saying that is. a very mr government officials talking on background but yes the two are related we don't have any official information and though i really don't want to reserve judgment on the propriety of this until we actually have the court records and we see exactly what they're going after it is a little worrisome of that the who really sees all of these servers or other ways to do this job for instance you just asked to copy all the data i mean it's like a printing press being used to i was driving with material material you seize the books you don't see just the printing press that's usenet maybe a hundred other companies so that's a little bit of a first amendment issue matter danger and we reached out to the f.b.i. and surprise surprise they did not. give us news scoop they just said it's an ongoing investigation and i was calm at the moment. but that you know one thing i do sort of want to get at here is give any sense

before we got to some of these activities in fact it was it was because of that data dump we had the f.b.i. report that we interviewed gary cooper about yesterday and how they're monitoring his activities and caught busters but i want to share in the e-mail that i got from anonymous ken will just call him that for now who really has some some powerful conclusions from his analysis of the thing to let me go data down here we go each of these files demonstrates a failure by the admins of the site's services in question to follow even the most basic principles of and future security practices for example the file it's silly rumors dot text as a list of the ip addresses of a large number of accessible routers that use the use user's live password combinations that are utterly and secure route so michael in route is not. hard guess and most armies groups are magically test for such condemnations all right so by the way this data dump was mostly from or almost exclusively exclusively from law enforcement agencies in arizona border patrol some of the other groups there and this is. to be really o

does it so any information that level security found on these firms databases that have ties to the f.b.i. were then hacked with the following press release from what they did they said it while they're not very many log ins that we'd like to take time to find out that all of them are affiliated with the f.b.i. in some way most of them reuse their passwords in other places which is heavily frowned upon in the f.b.i. in for guard handbook and generally everywhere else too so what we have yet to learn how detrimental this act is let's also point out to you the three classifications for hackers you've got the white hats there are groups dedicated to hacking sites to inform the sites about any flaws or loopholes in their systems and there's the black cats those are the malicious hackers and finally they are the grey had sued don't really fall into the category when it comes to the intent of their hacking capabilities i think that's where the group of all security currently lays oh they're still young they've proven that they can take on the best of the best and they want to make themselves kn

people and how do you who are for the f.b.i. and all law enforcement is that of the kind that they do for them and you know they say they got manipulated but who knows we don't really know ok i don't know if we have time to play this clip let's play it really quick so you sample the saliva in the cheek of the doctor we have to take a sample of the dog you do then the lab matches that up with the d.n.a. ok let me give you some explanation there it's the condominium or apartment complex in florida and they have a problem with dogs you do apparently nobody cleaning it up and claiming it so now they want to mandate d.n.a. testing to match the dog to the do do it comes with a one thousand dollar fine you know what i say go for it come on if this apartment complex or a condominium complex which evidently it smells horrible it's disgusting it's a huge issue i think that people should have the scare tactic of having their dog due to d.n.a. did not come. ok and please please make a reality show out of it but. i want to see the look on the

new york published curb network to go offline and the reason for the raid is i know we contacted the f.b.i. today and we were told by a supervisory special agent jason pack but they're unable to comment because it's an ongoing investigation how difficult are the rumors as to whether this may be in some way related to hacktivist little snicker already swirling and an unnamed government official told the new york times that the f.b.i. was actively investigating the group and any affiliated hackers out according to sergei also from our chief executive of digital line the f.b.i. had been interested in one of the company's clients and despite being provided the necessary information to pinpoint the servers for a specific ip address they took entire server racks so once again it looks like the government is trying to respond to hack to that because they have any idea what they're actually doing or discuss this with me as julian sanchez research fellow at the cato institute joining thanks so much for being here tonight thank you for starters and you any do you have any other details that i may be
