the f.b.i. e. what was his involvement in terms of what he did instructing agents within the agency to look at members of the trump team? and if you look at some of the statements, sandra, he will say that based on what i knew i could have easily gone public with the information but i chose to keep it quiet. then he will say my work has never been tainted by any political bias. that's just what we know right now. >> sandra: fascinating to hear him asked about those text messages that we have all read multiple times and heard multiple times and how fascinating it will be to see how he chooses to respond to those. you can expect he will face a grilling from the house republicans in moments. he has arrived and we'll take that hearing when it begins at the top of the hour. >> president trump: ultimately he is a competitor. he is representing russia. i'm representing in the united states. we're competitors. not a question of friend or enemy. he is not my enemy. hopefully someday maybe he will be a fri

the f.b.i. which is for years in gauged infiltrating progressive organizations and peace organizations to disrupt them. to kill fred hampton a leader of the black panthers in cold blood and now somehow the f.b.i. supposed to be our it's really incredible you know brian one of the things i think it's. very interesting very tragic here is that somehow russia meddled in america's democracy i don't even really know what that means but you hear it all of the time but what really is happening i think my personal opinion is that because there isn't any questioning of the intelligence community in their behavior and i'm thinking of the f.b.i. during the two thousand and sixteen election they are damaging america's democracy because you cannot ask these questions about what they did i mean the f.b.i. the d.o.j. which was created by congress right they fund these agencies and what we see is the obstruction so i can't you know meddling ok i'm not i have no idea what that really means but we're getting more

is going to review the f.b.i. reviewed and declined to investigate for mishandling of classified information that's obeying the rules and following procedure which is what they criticized you for violating well there's no doubt that i deviated as they say from norms but there was nothing normal about the investigation of one of the two candidates for president of the united states during the election but it is not an excuse for insubordinate and extraordinary actions which is what they used to know certainly not it's and it's an explanation as to why how we saw the decisions and why we chose bad over worse in each of the key circumstances they don't accept that choice that done. well they do they just between speaking or not speaking and i should have not spoken i get that and i respect that i think that underway is the damage to the institution that would have flowed from not speaking about something that was hugely important and would have otherwise covered up a lot and that had become no longer. that would cove

lies a lot the f.b.i. falsifies documents and i have to can cite simply my good friend tom drake and he was being they want to put him away for twenty six years right and they they took the documents that had been classified and they put a secret stamp on it ok and that was part of the evidence they used with this court in the state of maryland now thank god james bamford had the original classified so he took it to the judges said look this is what you're dealing with here and the department of justice and the f.b.i. and the judge threw it out and he said to those justice department of justice lawyers you still don't have a darkened my doorstep again i don't want to see you ever in court you perjured yourselves get out of here case dismissed so that's the kind of thing that the f.b.i. and the target of as bill binney says just does what the kind of behavior they exhibit i want to add one more thing and then be very brief i have to depend myself not only against the f.b.i. but against my liberal friends who

never gave that to the f.b.i. so everything the f.b.i. knows is from a private company that the d.n.c. did give their computer to and that private companies know as krauts right and so i think even starting from that premise we have to be you know question how the f.b.i. is reaching its conclusions here and one of the points that samir brought up i'd like to get your thoughts on of us well the indictment sais i mean it's quite an important aspect of the whole investigation the gusa for two point zero is a fictional persona created by russian agents but amman claiming to be good for has appeared in the media on several occasions how can that be rican sila to think well maybe it can't again well i guess we'll have to see what happens i mean in a way mohler probably will never have to test these allegations because probably will never be able to all these individuals see that he's named in the complaint into court so i guess you could claim anything and never have to resolve those inconsistencies is there any significance to the timing of th

he can consult with the f.b.i. counsel. he's an f.b.i. oyee. >> the gentleman is not recognized. >> and the chairman is not being proper. >> the chairman is being proper! >> the witness can't be directed not to confer with his attorney! ( laughter ) ( applause ) >> stephen: congressman andy cohen is right! this is the first time i've seen congress as frustrated with congress as we are. ( laughter ) ( cheers and applause ) you can't do -- you can't do that! you -- you -- you can't! ( laughter ) and things got crazy when jerry nadler accused goodlatte of hiding the truth. >> i will observe that the chairman will not answer the question and that this is part of the continued evasion... and, uh, attempt at, uh, uh, obfuscation. >> will the gentlemen yield? >> stephen: oh, damn! you see that? the chairman wants to know if the gentleman will yield!? goodlatte's going to bring the gavel down. let's watch the fur fly! >> will the gentleman yield? >> no, not at the moment. >> very good. >> stephen: the big battle was between strzok and gowdy. >> yo

what the f.b.i. russians is a great service to the nation but i think you can say that and still acknowledge where what the president is saying that after two massive indictments. these are speaking indictments so they are very detailed. there is not a direct connection of collusion to the campaign itself. you can say it doesn't mean they won't establish it but you can recognize that. now am i glad that robert mueller is investigating all this? you bet. i'm glad that indictment came down. russians really need to be identified and they did a great job. but this is not, what people say this is a witch hunt. there are pitches in the woods. we just indicted a bunch of them. but which witches are we looking for? these are not the colluders. >> tucker: they are witches from different countries, by the way, in the woods. >> right. >> tucker: if we are going after some, let's go after them all. that is my view. whatever. professor, great to see you. >> thank you, tucker. >> tucker: in the interview with the

leonard was discovered has discovered through a freedom of information act request that the f.b.i. was indeed surveilling dave van ronk from one nine hundred sixty three into at least one nine hundred seventy three informants were reporting of membership in an offshoot organization of the socialist workers party which felt the party was not radical enough and should be saturating unions the newly released files show that the f.b.i. reviewed copies of dave van ronk albums south made sure that wrong was kept from review renu in his merchant marine union membership questioned his neighbors tapped his phone and eventually put him on the f.b.i.'s security and x. division rock folk musician a guitar player was put on a list that at the time meant in the event of a national emergency his arrest and detention would be required what makes this case so important is that it's a silly story of our past but a precursor to our present journalists are being put on a list by the department of homeland security prisons will claim ownership of an inmate's are to bury it when they are criticizes the p

the server. and. it was done locally. then f.b.i. director komi said the the carbon copies of the servers containing what was believed to be the same information were enough to arrive up the conclusions do you agree and how crucial was that for the f.b.i. . no i mean it i don't agree at all you there's no substitute for the original evidence i mean anything else you get could be fabricated changed manipulated there were three basic reasons though i had a problem with the mueller indictment at least what i wrote about so far is based on false information i mean we had forensics data showing that the goose agreed to materials of fabrication and we published dad here in the united states mueller has never asked any of us to come in to testify or bring that evidence in. plus we had we had to we had attempted to do the transfers that were claimed to be a part of the clues for two hack of the d.n.c. to supposed to be a long distance act from russia to get the data across from the d.n.c. server we took that data and looked at it closer to pu

if this is a serious matter why did the f.b.i. not press the democratic national committee to turn over its servers immediately. beginning in april may timeframe two thousand and sixteen why did they do that you know why is it taken this long why did this come out right after the stroke testimony writers lisa page is making her damaging behind the closed doors testimony just it looks contrived to me and it looks to me as if our f.b.i. our department of justice even under president donald trump remains politicized and hostile to the trumpet ministrations so i had something this serious involving allegations that are this profound you'd like to believe that our department of justice or it was acting above the law without partisan interests one way or another and this certainly seems staged to me. as president wraps up his official part of his controversial u.k. to a question still hanging over a new trade deal between london and washington kellam open explains more than one. in the lead up to the meeting between the two leaders we sa

is biased could matter the fact that the f.b.i. is involved in you know things that literally have nothing to do with keeping america safe the fact that the f.b.i. not russia is the one who is involved with locking up literally millions of americans for victimless crimes across the country really shows how backwards things have gotten what we saw today was shedding some light on the fact that this has become so ridiculous to this field anything useful absolutely not what this you know that it was a was an awareness that i think most american people already know is that sometimes when the f.b.i. gets involved in politics where it should not be in the first place sometimes it reveals a bias so to what extent is this whole trump russia collusion probe a bipartisan that will between republicans and democrats. it is right now i think a distraction method that is currently being used primarily by democrats although by some republicans as well as a distraction method to sort of say the enemy is over there but it's not russia that's locking

tell me please what possible justification could the f.b.i. have for this whole. sharon sides drumming up terror plots that don't really really really exist so they can keep getting the huge budget that they get every year to fight terror besides that won't because they want to get that one out about it ok so i wonder if they were meant to the public ok yes with their magical just because well says stephen anthony special agent in charge of the f.b.i.'s cleveland field office praise didn't defend the investigation telling the media quote law enforcement cannot sit back and wait for mr pitts to commit a violent attack we don't have the luxury of hoping an individual decides not to harm someone or get others to act oh wait so when domestic violence situations happen in which someone says hey i'm afraid this person is going to kill me because they told me they're going to kill me or they're going to hurt me but they can't do anything until the person does something wrong but in this case you could i wish the f.b.i. cared as much about us citizens. safety more than the

prior to the f.b.i., mr. marshall worked for the prosecuting attorney's office in little rock, arkansas. we thank mr. marshall and his father, brian, for their combined 54 years of public service to the american people and their service to the f.b.i. and all their fellow agents at the bureau. thank you, mr. speaker, and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the chair recognizes the gentleman from california, mr. mcnerney, for five minutes. thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today to congratulate the northern california power agency, which is celebrating 50 years of service this year. back in 1968, a group of municipal electric utilities, including the lodi in my district, joined the ncpa. they continue to harness the power of clean energy today. for 50 years, ncpa has utilized new technologies to provide clean energy, renewable energy for its customers, owners, and this includes the lodi energy center combined cycle natural gas project. the ncpa's commitment to in

the f.b.i. received classified material suggesting that there was an improper relationship between. turning general loretta lynch and the clinton campaign during during the campaign which seemed like a big bombshell revolution that is sort of skims over but it's very oddly written the whole the whole book is very strange yeah it was almost as strange as donna brazil as bug and i wonder have komi is going to end up the same place that donna brazil sort of ended up which is does anyone know where donna brazil is now i think is work over the years probably going to end up which leads me to all these people sort of writing books and everybody gets a break you know million dollar advances but your sort of doing something that a little bit different direction on april twenty fourth you began publishing on what's called substract dot com a new serialized novel titled the business secrets of drug dealing adventures of the identified blackmail tell us a little about the book and why you chose to publish it on sub stock in this way. so some time ago i ran into someone who had known for a long
