reporter: the f.b.i. specifically told you that they have found no contact between any trump associates and russian officials? mr. nunes: i want to be -- we're not going -- the whole i.c. here. i'm not going to get specific to any one agency. but as of right now i don't have any evidence that would -- of any phone calls, that doesn't mean they don't exist. i don't have that. what i have been told is by many -- by many folks, is that there's nothing there. we're looking into it and we want the information. i just can't call in american citizens with no information. reporter: when you say there are no contacts, are you referring to direct contacts? mr. nunes: i think specifically this would be contacts with any association whatsoever to anyone even within the realm of the russian intelligence apparatus. reporter: you just said many people have told you this. can you be more specific? who has told you -- mr. nunes: i'm not going to get into specifically the conversations i had. i had with the executive branch

edgar hoover was the director of the f.b.i. in washington, d.c., for longer than anyone can imagine, from the 20's through the 70's. he had an enormous impact on law enforcement, federal law enforcement, and the building up of federal law enforcement in the country. and a varied legacy. we want to talk about that, who he was, how he transformed the f.b.i., and get a sense to visitors -- get them to realize how this director who has been dead now for many years, how does he still have an impact on the way we live our lives today? one of the main features in the place where we show off most of the artifacts in the collection is called the history time capsule. here is where we cover that wide range of law enforcement history. going from the first officers during colonial times, we have a sheriff's writ from the early 1700's through the wild west talking about what was going on on the western frontier and how that involved law enforcement. we talk about the u.s. marshals and all the other federal law enforcement agencies and how th

flynn could face charges if he lied to the f.b.i. scott, the overall investigation is one of the most sensitive and closely held in the history of the f.b.i. >> pelley: jeff pegues for us tonight. jeff, thank you. well, congress is getting in on all of this. in addition to the f.b.i. investigation, the leader of the senate said today it's very likely that the senate will look into flynn. the senate's already investigating tieses between russia and the trump campaign, and a house committee is looking into whether government secrets were put at risk by the president and others last weekend at a restaurant in mr. trump's florida gulf resort. nancy cordes tells us that congress, however, is far from unanimous on these investigations. >> what did the president know, and when did he know it? >> reporter: flynn's resignation led democrats to renew their call for a bipartisan watergate-style commission. >> this is deadly, deadly serious. >> reporter: house speaker paul ryan did not agree. he said the flynn matter could be folded into ongoing

>> what we've learned so far from the government source the f.b.i. on did go beyond flynn and included contacts between the trump campaign team and russian officials. based on our reporting there is no substantive allegation that the conversations broke the law. the leadership of the senate intelligence committee, which has an ongoing investigation into the russian election interference said they're reviewing the leaks. >> we're concerned any time intelligence is publicly talked about. just the mere fact that we might hold intelligence about a certain thing, about a certain issue, leads individuals to look at where we might have gotten it from. that's dangerous from the standpoint of our sources and methods. >> we will feel like the most recent reports that have generated all this interest is -- i think we will be able to determine the veracity or not and then take appropriate steps. >> the leaks do suggest that former obama administration officials who had access highly restricted information tried to take down flynn and damage the trump white house.

>> pelley: the president said today that the f.b.i. must find the anonymous news sources in its own ranks who have leaked damaging information about his administration. "find now," president trump wrote this morning in all caps. later, mr. trump said that the news media should not be allowed to use anonymous source. presumably, the stories will the white house would like to see dry up include those sourced to the f.b.i. that forced the president to fire his national security adviser. the stories accurately reported that michael flynn lied to the vice president about his contacts with russia. margaret brennan has today's developments. >> reporter: cbs news has confirmed the f.b.i. counter-intelligencedition division is leading an investigation into whether trump associates were coordinating with russian officials during the 2016 campaign. u.s. intelligence agencies have concluded that russia laun

we trust the nsa and the f.b.i. to use these powers to catch criminals and terrorists, but not interfere with politics. right now they are interfering in our politics. liz: what do you think of the president blasting the intelligence community saying it's criminal, the leaks going on. >> it's criminality leaks, the spying, the nsa is rinsing to everybody. this is the problem with the security state that we established starting with the bush administration after 9/11 and ramped up in the obama administration where the nsa gets general warrants, not based on probable cause, but they can listen to anybody they want. mike flynn was the head of the defense intelligence agency. he knew exactly that when he spoke to the russian ambassador, people would listen to him. he did not expect those people listening to him, and they shouldn't have been. but they were listening to him and revealed what they heard in a way to harm the president and to harm him. this is a very, very dangerous state of affairs when people in the intelli

the white house says it was the f.b.i. director and the deputy director who questioned the report's credibility saying they think maybe there is nothing to it. the white house said priebus wanted to ask the f.b.i. to share it publicly with the press but the f.b.i. declined. doug: we are looking at another beautiful everything after an afternoon with temperatures in the 70's. above average again. tonight we drop through the 60's. even when we hit the lower temperatures, upper 60's. still well above average. we have clear skies. to change as clouds increase ahead of the cold front. it caused showers and the heavy thunderstorms thunderstore midwest. it will push eastward. the best time frame to see the showers and the storms tomorrow between 2:00 and 6:00 p.m. we could have a quarter inch of rain and the isolated damaging winds. keep a close eye on that for you. and let you know what to expect for the rest of the weekend coming up in ten minutes. michelle: see you then. thanks. covering metro, the transit agency is goin to cou

this is what the f.b.i. w very, very badly. >> so let's talk about leaks. donald trump went insane over leaks at the news conference this week. "this whole russia scam you guys are building. russia is fake news. russia is fake news. it's but putt out by the media." first of all, who is leaking on whom and why? is it personal ven debt as, or are the agencies inside the government trying to essentially fight putin, what he's doing to create this chaos, to basically reclaim the government as donald trump just basically denies that anything's going on. >> the president is at war with his own intelligence services. >> clearly. >> he called the c.i.a. "nazis." he puts quotation marks around the word "intelligence" which he tweets about the f.b.i. and the c.i.a. this can't continue, okay, especially without a national security adviser. the job of running the n.s.c. is one of the hardest jobs in washington because you have to coordinate all of the information that's coming in from all 17 american intelligence service

we've been calling on the f.b.i. to do a -- to expedite its investigation into the financial, personal and political ties of the trump, donald trump and the trump administration to the russians. when the president flirts with lifting the sanctions, and i'm glad steny hoyer, our distinguished whip, mr. hoyer, introduced a biron bill to say that before the president can lift any sanctions on russia, bless you, he has to confer with the congress, very important legislation. have a president who is disdaining refugee children and embracing vladimir putin, to talk about not supporting the start treaty that protects us in terms of the nuclear threat to the planet. the list goes on and on. again, the public -- in the public -- the public is owed the truth. deserves the truth. we hope that the f.b.i. is pursuing the truth. all the evidence you've seen come forward, the corroboration of ideas that were out there before but not corroborated, there's enough reason for him to go forward. of e he understands, it's national signifi

charles: the president is blasting the f.b.i. r what he says is the bureau's failure to crack down on the infamous leaks. they can't even find leakers win the f.b.i. itself. classified information is being give to the media that could have a devastating effect on u.s. find now. i any there are a lot of people who agree with that. and there are people who said they would love to see president trump do this behind closed doors with the f.b.i. to keep up that morale boost that was sparked after he was inaugurated. >> i think there are a couple of things you have to look at. to send those tweets out that the fine can't stop the leaks within it own organization. there is no empirical information the f.b.i. is doing this. charles: where would the information be coming from? it feels like there is a problem there. >> we ought to reseal the windows, doors and phones at 1600 pennsylvania avenue would be a good tart. this is not the way to go. he tuns to use tweets that use an acquisition formula of firing it can't go on that way. somehow i

this is what the f.b.i. wants to know very, very badly. >> hockenberry: we continue with russian scholar kim martin. >> possibly it is putin just trying to test the trump administration to see where they're going. it could also be the putin regime is feeling a little bit uncertain and they want to demonstrate areas where they are strong to try to sort of prevent any uncertainty within the united states from leading to some sort of a strong response against putin. >> hockenberry: we conclude with seth myers interview with author george saunders, book is called "lincoln in the bardo." >> i noticed every time i had an artistic thing work out, my mind would go to that, you know, what do you think. in 2012, i finished my last book, the idea showed up. i was, like, why don't i try that? and the answers were it's too hard, too earnest and would require too much heart of you. i thought, okay, i'm 58. i'll at least try it. i gave myself a window, at least three months to goof around with it and it game came alive. >>

and the f.b.i. tim, welcome to the program. >> hi, john. >> you know all about leaks.othing new. but what is new about the nature in the way in which these leaks are both being outraged against by the president, and the way inner agencies seem to be competing with each torg get at something which i think is probably more disturbing at all, which is what is at the bottom of this. >> mr. flynn lied to everyone in the white house, up to and including the president. the president concealed those liees from the vice president. mr. flynn got caught in a lie about what he said or did not say to the russian ambassador, mr. putin's man in moscow. and he was shown the exit. this is the reverse of the normal procedure in washington. we know what the cover-up is. it's lying. what's the crime? this is what the f.b.i. wants to know very, very badly. >> so let's talk about leaks. donald trump went insane over leaks at the news conference this week. "this whole russia scam you guys are building. russia is fake news. russia is fake news. it's but putt out by the media." first of all, w

i'm guessing the f.b.i. director probably took some of that information and through normal practices difficult accept night it to the attorney general and the national security council. i'll bet my 30 years, 40 years of knowledge this business that that's where that came from. i'm talking about this situation with general flynn and the russian ambassador. i'm talking about that particular piece of information. and how that plays into this whole narrative about how russia has basically done this and done that. there is no question russia has done a lot of bad things. but that's the pressure elites of the democratic party to blame it on russia. but there are a lot soon after the president met with the president of mexico. there were transcripts of conversations. trance transcripts of telephone conversations. why the white house is releasing this to a myriad of people, there are certain people that need to know these things. but they have to do a tough job of cleaning how much sees this stuff. liz: do you think

he suggested that the f.b.i. and the n.s.a. are behind what he called "illegal leaks of classified information" that led to the downfall of michael flynn. the president wrote that the fake news media is going crazy with their conspiracy theories and blind hatred. mr. trump blamed the flynn controversy on the hillary clinton campaign, and for the second time in three days, he reminded a news conference at the white house of his margin of victory in the electoral college. major garrett on a busy day of deflection. >> general flynn is a wonderful man. i think he's been treated very, very unfairly by the media. >> reporter: president trump praised ousted national security adviser michael flynn just one day after the white house said mr. trump asked for flynn's resignation because he could not be trusted. flynn misled white house officials, including vice president mike pence, about conversations he had with russia's ambassador before mr. trump took office. the president blamed those who divulged the contents of flynn's conversation

bloody plot was going to bring them to their knees, hester allegedly responded i can't wait. >> the f.b.i. undercover operatives appeared to initiate the planning for the attack, buttest was all in. i was given the chance to walk away, but he said i am down. >> out in california, at least 14,000 people were forced to evacuate their homes as floodwaters from a powerful storm continue to spread. neighbors in san jose are left completely underwater. look at this video. crews helping to evacuate hundreds by boat. right now a major highway in that are remains shut down pause of war right across the lanes. you see that, and you feel bad. we have been -- >> we are the exact opposite. >> yeah. >> talking about fires from doubt conditions, and they are getting more rain than t deal with. let's get started with coverage here. a warm up is the next thing we have. into the 60's and 70's in the next couple of days. here is our weather bug camera. even a couple of light showers reported. now skies are brightening. we will have periods of clouds and semis in the 60's this afternoon. 61t lou ray, 57 in l

among other things, we're learning the f.b.i. interviewed general flynn shortly after the new administration took office. what are the questions at the white house about -- how are they anxious these questions about why it took so long from then until now for this to unfold, to come out? >> they say this thread had been reviewed for weeks and only was last night thatth mr. trump decided to ask for his rest nation and last night the who's reported the contact. the story you mentioned is from the "new york times" who quote current and former officials unnamed saying that they found mr. flynn to be less than forthcoming in these phish interviews immediately after the inauguration. if officials conclude he deliberately lied to the f.b.i., that could lead to a felony charge. >> woodruff: quickly, john, how is the white house dealing with this overall? >> they are -- they came out today, made a clean breast of it. they tried to be as forthcoming as they could in the briefing. sean spicer stressed over and over again this was a matter of

he wrote the following, the f.b.i. is unable to stop the leaker that rity permeated the government for a long time. e goes on to say they cannot find the leakers within the f.b.i. itself. classified information is being media that could have devastating effect on the united states. find now. donald trump. he added going to cpac, live coverage getting underway in a minutes. trace from las vegas, good morning. morning.ood thank you for taking my call this morning. host: absolutely. the r: i'm dumbfounded by callers this morning. there are a few republicans, ones that are like the boehner and mccain in the republican party, there to problems. i said since november, being in mid-50s and having voted in he first time in my life and voted for ronald reagan. i worked with ronald reagan and h. bush as president and never seen such unbelievable at this in my nation period of time. ould you imagine what would be occurring right now if jeb bush elected by the establishment republicans? could you imagine what would be nation right

and that's what the f.b.i. is looking at. at former national security adviser flynn made in december to the russian ambassador in the u.s., and all these things together, they don't add up to anything yet in terms of any kind of collusion or any direct proof of anything. but it's something that the f.b.i. is looking into. and it already cost general flynn his job. >> trevor: but you, now, if it's not a story that means anything just yet, or something we're not able to understand, why is it such a big deal? >> it may be innocent, and we don't know. you're right. there is nothing wrong way campaign talking to leaders or officials from other governments. >> trevor: yeah >> the one question is who they were talking to and what they were talking about, and that's one of the things this investigation is looking into. and you have to add on to the fact though, there is--as i said, this, you know, mountain of evidence that a lot of-- we should say that nobody has seen publicly. it's still the intelligence community. they concluded the

and the f.b.i. -- the fbi to be ahead of the curve, if will you. reporter: these are homegrown -- oklahoma city was an american kid. mr. spicer: sure. reporter: that's what i'm saying. mr. spicer: part of it is looking at using the assets that we have here, the n.s.a., the f.b.i., looking at using the different agencies to see if we can get ahead of the curve and see things. a lot of times that was -- that's been a very big issue. getting ahead of the curve for when there are telltale signs, having reporting systems working with the various agencies. it's a multi-effort process, if will you. reporter: why is the administration easing sanctions against russia? mr. spicer: we're not. the treasury department, from what i understand, is a fairly common practice for the treasury department, after sanctions are put in place, to go back and look at whether or not there needs to be specific carve-outs for different -- either industries or products and services that need to be going back and forth. i would refer you back to the treasury department on that o

let's talk about what happens with reince priebus and the f.b.i. who initiated the phone call. >> there was a meeting at the white house to discuss an intelligence matter. at the ends of the intelligence matter the dem director of the f.b.i. said may i talk to you privately. explained to ryan priebus that story talking about frequent contacts between the trump campaign and russian officials was not accurate and grossly overstated and he wanted him to know that. to which reince replied great let's set the record straight. the deputy called him back and said they didn't want to get in the process of refuting stories. he said we would like to clear our name. sow then they said after a conversation with then director comey that we could say with con city dense that we had been briefed and the "times" story was inaccurate. judge jeanine: was reince priebus weren't bowfneds his job asking the f.b.i. to if you areback. >> he didn't ask them to push back. they came to us and said the story in the new yor "new york s false and groalsly overstated. he said gr

ut about the this morning saying the f.b.i. is totally unable to stop the national security leakers have that permeated our government for a long time and can't find the leakers within the f.b.i. itself. classified information is being given to the media that could have a devastating effect on the united states. there is supposed to be a firewall between the white house and the department of justice when it comes to investigations. the white house insists it was not related to the investigation. it was about a news story. therefore the communications that priebus had with mccabe after mccabe came to him were perfectly fine, shannon. >> shannon: john roberts live at the white house. >> bill: let's get analysis by chris stirewalt. good morning to you. let's first talk about the speech coming up in 55 minutes. sean spicer previewed it yesterday when he said there will be essentially paraphrasing a heavy emphasis on safety and security among other things. that's where we start. >> go with what you know. and start with the area of co

scott: the f.b.i. raised the headquarters in ohio, they seized items items from the homf the owner of the adoption agency. over the past 24 hours the feds moved in and took evidence from two locations including mark rel cole's house -- margaret cole's house in ohio now called a criminal investigation. they found 18 different violations including soliciting bribes, lying to officials and using false documents. the item was the first to tell you about the state department historic move of placing e.a.c. on three-year suspension. the families whose adoptions were praised on hold are still waiting. they are not returning our phone calls but said they do not feel like it's warranted. f.b.i. turned up the heat on i'll keep you posted. alison: thank you. 15 minutes ago on the hill, prime minister benjamin netanyahu joined the members of congress for the photo top. he is scheduled to have other meetings with mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer that are standing next to them now. netanyahu's visit to the white hou

the people in the f.b.i. feel strongly about following the rules, not just the law, but following the standard practices of how they conduct an investigation. am not quick to assume that it would be very easy for someone at a senior level to make a political decision if the facts were to ush them in another direction. >> the press are up against all kinds of obstacles to bring the truth out. >> first of all, i would say, there are a lot of reporters doing their job today. this this somehow at the time of watergate, you had great reporters who did their job and today, reporters who don't do their job, just is not true. the media institutions have a lot more security and resources and things like that. although, the people who are on the networks are concerned whether their licenses would be renewed and things like that. think that -- so it certainly helps to have strong media institutions. congress and whether there are investigations, if there were a democratic majority in congress, you would see a different s

the intercept just in the last couple weeks had an enterprise investigation talking about how the f.b.i. goes about recruiting informants. it's an amazing process they go through. and the level of authority that they have to do this is frightening. that's why it's another area where the congress really needs to actually spend some serious time investigating. host: our guest has been patrick, an analyst in the area of homeland security and civil liberties at the cato institute. of course cato.org is the place to go to read more about their work. thank you for joining us this morning. now we're left on this friday edition of the "washington journal," after a couple minutes' break, we'll talk with bronwen maddox, for a look at the future of transatlantic reengsreelingses, what's ahead for nato, and the rise of nationalism and populism in europe plus your calls. we'll be right back.

kennedy: why didn't the cia, f.b.i. and nsa ever foil that ruse? could it be the partisanship went there? it will take time to judgment egregiousness of flynn's errors. but with the intelligence community loed and loaded against the administration to bring anyone done, i trust no one. is it the tip of the putinesque iceberg that could sink the u.s.s. trump? glad you are here, i'm kennedy. the trump administration in full damage control over michael flynn. today white house spokesman sean spicer said this wasn't a legal issue and claimed flynn talking to the russians was perfectly lawful. he said at the end of the day, it was a trust issue. >> the issue was that the president got to the point where general flynn's relationship, misleading the vice president and others were the possibility he had forgotten critical details of this conversation had created critical mass in an unsustainable situation. kennedy: the democrats want to take this all the way to the top. >> what did the president know and when did he know it? >> the republicans need to join u

. >> reporter: the comments came amid revelations that the f.b.i. counterintelligence unit is leading an investigation into whether trump campaign operatives had frequent contacts with russian officials during the 2016 election. >> mr. president, are you going to answer any questions about your associates' contact with the russians during the campaign, sir? >> mr. president? >> reporter: the president ignored questions about the story after his press conference with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. congressional democrats stepped up calls for a bipartisan investigation. house minority leader nancy pelosi. >> so my question to my republican colleagues is if you're not willing to take the first step to look into this, what are you afraid of? >> reporter: some republicans like tennessee's bob corker and south carolina's lindsey graham are calling for thorough inquiries, but senator rand paul of kentucky wants to defer to the justice department. >> if law enforcement thinks there needs to be an investigation based on law enforcement type of fac

michelle: the f.b.i. is investigating all the antisemitic incidents reported today. jonathan: a man's face bitten in what police are calling an anti-muslim attack. tonight an arrest has been made. fairfax county police say robin mcgreer made anti-muslim slurs at a man in a parking lot at tysons corner center in november. a fight broke out and mcgreer apparently bit the man's face and then ran off. arrest was all because of a thorough investigation. scenes of chaos and more than 200 people arrested. remember all this? a lasting image from inauguration day. the d.c. police complaints board says it will take a closer look at things because in a report a group says overall officers performed well. but it also faults officers that says use nonlethal weapons like pepper spray and sting balls without permission or without warning. they found incidents where arrests happened without required warrants. the complaint boards want the instances investigated further and they found problems in how police found the women's march on washington the day after. most of the concerns foc

reporter: so once again you say the f.b.i. or the intelligence community have given you the high point of evidence. you say you are at the beginning stages of the investigation. mr. nunes: because there's investigations that the executive branch of government does and there's investigations that the legislative branch of government will do. reporter: so you're confident in your assertion that there is no evidence that these three people talked to russian agents even though you have not done your own investigation into it? mr. nunes: as of right now we have no evidence but we'll continue to ask for evidence and look for evidence not only the three americans named in the story but others that have contact with russian officials. one more? reporter: are you any closer to understanding, though, why the president is so -- of valdimir putin or what he says what we do here is the same they do in russia? mr. nunes: i am perplexed by this just as when george w. bush looked into putin's eyes. if you look when president obama was caught i

devon nunes says he wants the f.b.i. find out what the hell is going on.he big question is, the leaks are going to be investigated. but why is the oversight committee not investigating the content of the call it self and any implications that conversation may have had? >> i think the f.b.i. or whoever has the transcript of that call should pro diets. talking to the russian am balances doran talking about what the new administration may want to do, even thoif would disagree with relaxing sanctions, if that was their position to simply communicate that, there is nothing really improper about that. if general flynn was not honest with people inside the white house about that, that presents a problem. but let's get the transcript and see what's going on. to me the leaks coming out are very damaging. obviously in this case there was a concerted effort to leak against general flynn. but a lot of the president's phone calls with foreign leaders, you have details of those being leaked. i support chairman nunes much call to investigate what's going on. charles: i r

they point out in an interview with the f.b.i. last month, michael flynn denied discussing sanctions with the russian ambassador to the u.s. before trump's inauguration. that is what led him to resign. according to the "washington post," this potentially puts michael flynn in legal jeopardy because lying to the f.b.i. is a felony offense. molly: -- anchor: certainly an interesting story and continues to develop. the papers are focusing on the extraordinary press conference held by donald trump. >> it certainly was extraordinary. it was a very long press conference, one hour and 17 minutes. "the daily beast" points out originally, donald trump was supposed to hold a press conference to sing the praises of his new labor secretary. but it quickly disintegrated into an unhinged criticism and belligerent sniping against the press and so-called fake news. you can see "the daily beast" is focusing on what journalists experienced when they were hearing this tirade from donald trump. you can see they are saying this is insane. that is a quo

former campaign manager, john podesta suggesting some in the f.b.i. out to sink hillary clinton. here is the quote now. there are at least forces within the f.b.i. that wanted her to lose. i'm not sure they really understood the alternative but they wanted her to lose, end quote. steven hayes, fox news contributor. a podcast interview going back and forth. you heard it. how did it sound to you? >> look, it sounded whiney. forces within the department of agriculture that wanted hillary clinton to lose and forces in red states that wanted her to lose and forces in blue states that wanted her to lose. it was the combination of all those forces is why she lost. what john podesta didn't do. he can't do. is provide evidence to back up his speculation that there was some plot afoot in the f.b.i. and for democrats broadly, nationally. this kind of whining doesn't do them any good at this point. it is backward looking at a time when their party would like to be forward-looking. >> bill: i remember john podesta wrote this back in december on screen for viewers,

the c.i.a. director and f.b.i. officials prompted fresh accusations from democrats about white house tampering. >> we have to do this investigation bipartisan. >> reporter: virginia's mark warner is the top democrat on the intelligence committee. >> we have to not let a white house or any other political interference get in its way, because it's too important. >> reporter: white house press secretary sean spicer would not confirm or deny that c.i.a. director mike pompeo was asked to defend the campaign: >> i'm not going to discuss what we did internally. >> reporter: nunes argued the probe is probably a dead end anyway. >> from what i've been told by many folks is that there's nothing there. >> reporter: is he right that there's no evidence? >> well, first of all, we have not obtained any of the evidence yet. >> reporter: adam schiff is the top democrat on the house intelligence committee. >> we can't draw any conclusions, nor should we. we shouldn't be prejudging where the facts lead. >> reporter: schiff added that

the f.b.i. tracks and publishes the number of justifiable homicides reported by police departments, but, again, reporting by police departments is voluntary. and not all departments participate. that means we cannot fully track the number of incidents in which force is used by police or against police, including nonfatal encounters, which are not reported at all. without complete and accurate data, we are left with ideological thunderbolts, and that helps to spark unrest and distrust and does not help us to get better. because we must get better. i intend for the f.b.i. to be a leader in overaging departments around this -- urging departments around this country to give us the facts we need for an informed discussion, the facts of us that we need to help us to make sound policy and sound decisions with that information. now, this is the highest -- this is the f.b.i. director that's talking about the urgency of collecting data. and what the justice department has been doing for departments where p
