even the f.b.i. did not think flynn's telephone call provided the predicate for a criminal investigation. in january of 2017, an internal f.b.i. document was, quote,at flynn no longer a valid, viable investigation. disgraced f.b.i. agents and hater peter strzok disagre disagreed texting this. hey, if you haven't closed that case yet, don't do so yet, end quote. so the flynn case remained active. good thing for peter strzok. justice.bad thing for it was a bad thing for the rule of law. according to yesterday's motion o dismiss the case against lieutenant general michael mr. , it said this -- strzok immediately relayed the, at thesly good news to page, special counsel at f.b.i., remarking, quote, actually incompetence helps us. the utt are incompetence to michael case against flynn was something to be celebrated. a caseeme to manufacture against michael flynn continued. after president trump entered f.b.i.'s partisan part suit of general flynn rovided under jim comey's f.b.i. despite possessing a transc

the s.m.s. is between 2 f.b.i. agents who refer to the need to take trump down and get the insurance also against them but i go this is not a theory or accusation this is what has already been proven and no one is that dismissing it so if these are all the facts no one is contesting it you have to ask what actually makes it a conspiracy no i'm not saying maybe this is all a lot of coincidences obama knew nothing about it but surely this suggests it would be a good reason to investigate what the. obama the that abound in using this charity state to take over political columnist this is. well i think we're around a point where i think that we have to have the. senior members of the administration including the president the vice president explain to us i mean go i mean i'm not looking for drama here ok i'm not i think we need to close this chapter year but we need to understand what's going on a lot of lives have been destroyed and incompetence in government institutions and in the media and big shots ok so i think we

january the all that will be the f.b.i. matter want to close it by january the 3rd already the cave is talking oh no we've got to keep the. the investigation going but on the basis of what he's not no longer a russian asset the logan at that of course the logan act is so ridiculous that even they know that they can't possibly go ahead with the logan act so then they cook up this thing about getting him to lie on the record to f.b.i. agent but even that is a fraud because he didn't lie to the f.b.i. agents and there was a deliberate deception that was played which was the issue of the sanctions and the expulsion of the diplomats because the the in the indictment statement the defense keeps referring to over he said he didn't talk about sanctions when he didn't talk about sanctions against the act didn't talk to him about sanctions he talked about the expulsion of the diplomats so flynn didn't like it he said i didn't talk about sanctions i thought about expulsion of the diplomat and could not do better and he tonty that about

the f.b.i. and the cia they were asked in the next administration i asked for help they said no clear we're not going to get involved in your mess ok and of course the media played a responsible role glenn now we have now we have this security state the deep state and media in locks up a step with one political party or one political ideology they're all mobilized together i would actually throw in hollywood and the universities know well that maybe this is what makes it so the berry very different and i think that again i remember doing my 1st program on this after when it 1st broke ok and i said the damage this will do to institutions in the belief in democracy will be hard to underestimate and i think i've been proven my and i'm very proud of crosstalk for covering this so transparently for the last 3 and a half years we've got it right i very rarely pound myself on the back but this program got to write it because of guests like you go ahead. and i don't know i think it's for the center is th

that's the victim komi f.b.i. here but they just come back you know absolutely what only person he can openly look the president of the united states who holds barack obama's through most of this period in fact nearly all of this period can have been unaware of what was going all. the obvious thing is in the air is that there's been a gross misuse this year i mean there are general flynn and i disagree with him on a number of policies but it's not policies it's procedures here that have been violated he's bankrupt. he has his his career is a bit of a blemish tremendously and he's been tarred in the media as a foreign agent a russian spy i mean we have seen people get to monetise. i spoke with fake news but i mean what about all of the mainstream media they reported fake news ok are they going to be monetized and the biggest question is the now and if trump and i think he will soon pardon the plane that's going to blow up everything the entire narrative because the the mother report didn't change anyone's minds beca

the problem was that the phones were locked and the f.b.i. did not have the passwords so they needed help to get in and we asked apple for assistance and the president asked apple for assistance unfortunately apple would not help us a lot the phones apple had deliberately designed them so that only the user in this case the terrorist could gain access to their contents today i am pleased to announce that the thanks to the relentless efforts and ingenuity of f.b.i. technicians the f.b.i. finally succeeded in unlocking als from ronnie's phones the phones contained information previously unknown to us that definitively establishes alstom ronnie's significant ties to al qaeda in the arabian peninsula not only before the attack but before he even arrived in the united states we now have a clear understanding of associations and activities in the years months and days leading up to his attack indeed the information from the phones has already proved invaluable in protecting the american people a counterterrorism operation targeting a q a p operative

i on monday contacted the f.b.i. for comment because i knew that the justice department and been going to avonlea trump administration as a whole of it going to extraordinary lengths to keep all of this under wraps in fact both attorney general william barr and the acting director of national intelligence richard grinnell and filed motions with the court saying that any information relating to the saudi embassy official and all internal f.b.i. documents about this matter were so sensitive they were state secrets that means that if they were revealed they could cause grave damage to the national security and then i'm reading this declaration that was filed by the f.b.i. assistant director for counterterrorism which was basically designed to justify bars position that this is sensitive information in every instance in the declaration they blacked out the name of the saudi embassy official except for one paragraph where it appears and it is the name of somebody who the lawyers for the families of 911 victims have had on

i commend the f.b.i. for their work to continue to crackdown on this program and go after these problems. they need better tools to do it. a few weeks ago a former emery university professor worked simultaneously and secretly for six years for worth emery university and -- for emery university and for the communist party of china. conducting similar research projects at both institutions. despite the clear conflict of interest, he failed to report any of his at least $500,000 in foreign income on his federal tax returns. that very same day a professor at university of arkansas was arrested on charges of wire fraud for allegedly failing to disclose his ties to the chinese government despite being required to do so as a grant recipient from nasa. nasa. and just this past week we found out that this problem had rooched my home -- reached my home state of ohio when the department of justice announced the arrest of a professor affiliated with the cleveland clinic. he received $3.6 million from the national ins

listen up here turns out the f.b.i. is not going to need a warrant to look at your internet browsing history the u.s. senate failed to pass an amendment to a package of surveillance laws that would have prevented the f.b.i. from searching through direct internet browsing and search history data without a warrant so joining us now to discuss the west coast investigative journalist vance one so ben this all just barely passed the u.s. that at how close of a vote are we talking about here well we're talking about is about as close as you can get miller we're talking about one vote that's how short these amendments came from being passed and the frustrating thing about it if you are a privacy advocate as i am if you're someone who believes in civil liberties it's pretty disappointing when you had 3 different sitters who didn't show up including bernie sanders a senator from vermont nebraska senator ben sass and then patty murray patty murray had said that she would have voted for these amendments had she been there but she w

i am very glad that the f.b.i. kept a paper trail because what many have said for a very long time pointing to the first few facts i shared with you culminating in the hand written note, i am glad they kept the augmentation of their attempt to slow-walk general flynn into a trap and essentially create a grave miscarriage of justice. the f.b.i., at least we can thank you for the great notetaking. reporter: john does bring up a point that general flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the f.b.i. ms. mcenany: i am not going to -- dovolved in a matter you not consider it a miscarriage of justice when you have the f.b.i. writing, "we want to get someone to lie?" isn't that a miscarriage of justice? reporter: but in the end, he pleaded guilty. ms. mcenany: you know what the answer is, the answer is yes. i would encourage the media's -- media to cover it because i watch a lot of your networks and i have read a lot of your papers. i have seen a lot of scant information about michael flynn. when there was a lot of speculation abou

the f.b.i. team is following the path where the facts will lead us. we are conducting a swift yet meticulous investigation. in less than 72 hours much work has been done but i assure you there is much more to be accomplished. i want to ensure that you understand we respond to cases like these as quickly as possible. we will both case to conclusion in partnership with our state partner the bureau of criminal apprehension. the f.b.i. is the thought gathering agency we could we collect facts and we need your help. we're asking everyone that was present before during and after the incident to come forward to help us build the best picture of what occurred. each little piece of the puzzle helps us complete the big picture if you have any information or if you have any videos or you know of anyone who can help us with this i encourage you to ask them to contact 1800 call f.b.i. again i'm encouraging you to reach out to 1800 call f.b.i. no tip is too small thank you. good afternoon i might for human head of the county attorney. we are the principle prosecuti

finding out there is that sometimes the f.b.i. releases information not accidentally but intentionally and so it's an organization that has no trust no integrity whatsoever what why why are progressive's not reacting to the fact that on the the call maybe brennan clapper story let's assume less assume that flynn did somebody have a bad conversation let's assume that that's the case in the church hearings that took place in the united states they took place because the spook industry was using access to classified material leaking it and making that person a target you don't do that in the united states where you don't have a spook industry who's trying to formulate who's going to win for president and that's what brennan did that's what komi did and that's what clapper did and these documents show it why isn't it why are progressives not outraged by that who cares if flynn did you know the conversation that all they got on flynt at this point is a fact he committed perjury probably should be prosecuted out of that but the real poin

here in the united states and what this new lawsuit the f.b.i. accidently unveiled in these court documents used me is that he was the go between he was the go between between the hijackers and prince bandar who everybody remembers from the photographs when george w. bush walking around hand in hand that was the guy and the intermediary would talk to bandar he would then go talk to the hijackers there is no more question the link has now been established and the f.b.i. is scrambling to try to say well this is state secrets we can't the only reason a state secrets is because these these thugs this royal family bunch of thugs sells us oil and they buy our weapons that's the only reason that this is we have 3000 deaths the biggest murder in america and they're hiding this guy you remember right after 911 how they secretly snuck everybody all the saudis out of the country you know that this is part of that and so this is the kind of unmasking that the f.b.i. says oops we didn't mean to release this in this is i this is historically changing what we kn

the very day that the then f.b.i. director jim comi sent agents to the white house to interview flynn the f.b.i. discussed what their intent was beforehand this is what they said what is our goal truth and mission or to get him to lie so we can prosecute him or get him fired these notes in addition to other evidence raise serious questions about the handling of that of the f.b.i.'s handling of michael flynn's case did the f.b.i. confront flan with the intent to get him to lie so that we can prosecute him and fire him did the f.b.i. manufacture a crime against lieutenant general michael flynn. can reach 600 for our audience who may not be familiar with the story how we got to this point. wow ok well this all stems from the investigation into whether or not there was collusion between donald trump's 2016 presidential campaign ad russia and the course of that investigation conducted by special counsel robert muller there were a number of investigations that were taking place and one of them was talking to the very short l

the f.b.i. opened cross fire hurricane. that means the russians knew that he could possibly use the steele dossier as a vehicle to plant disinformation and sow chaos to undermine the american government. second -- the f.b.i. had an open counterintelligence case on steele's key source by failed to give that information to the fisa court. the f.b.i. had intelligence that some of steele's sources had connections to the russian intelligence. that's point three. point four -- steele had sources connected to the russian presidential administration and some supported clinton, not trump. five -- the crossfire hurricane team was aware in late-january 2017 that russian intelligence may have targeted orbis. six, steel's primary source viewed his or her contact not as a network of sources, but rather as simply friends that discuss current events. seven, two intelligence reports, one from january 12, 2017, the other from february 27, 2017, indicated that information contained within the steele dossier was a p

and the f.b.i. has found evidence linking the florida naval base shooting rampage to al-qaeda details next then later in sports a scary moment on the pitcher's mound over the green baseball organization will show you. can keep up with the latest news and information you might have missed by downloading our t.v. cameras there 247 we'll be back in just a minute to tell you. you cannot be both with the yeah you like. i'm chris hedges the corporate coup d'etat has destroyed our democratic institutions the commercial media has burlesque part of the reality show presidents expose the trivial plots seen on contact question more. seen the horrors that arise the money in the evil. corporate criminals who trash calculus lives to add just one more dollar to their millions. they threaten they bribe they'll do anything to keep their crimes in the dark but the people they've heard are demanding justice their stories need to be told on america's lawyer. here thank you for finally changing that in your understand yo

the f.b.i. has mistakenly reveal the identity of a saudi official believed to be linked to the 911 attacks it's information so sensitive that the u.s. government has been trying to keep it from the public for months saudi arabia has always denied a connection to the attacks the leading member of the u.s. code of ours task force has told congress rushing to ease restrictions could result in serious consequences including needless deaths to underneath she's testimony contradicts president donald trump's repeated calls for a quick reopening of the economy to study back government forces and 10 separate is fighters supported by the united arab emirates have been killed in fighting in southern yemen the 2 sides are vying for control of zinjibar the provincial capital and province separatists in southern yemen declared self rule last month the u.s. secretary of state is expected to arrive in israel within the next hour the visit by mike comes as the u.s. signals that support for israel's plan to annex

but some people are scratching their heads see it because flynn did after all admit lying to the f.b.i. i was pleading guilty over the why do that. i think what we've found in the documents it's been released so far is that yes you know i had pressured flint by threatening to go against his son and namesake who is this wife had just given birth to a young child and i think clearly looked at the situation and rather than. spend more money which she didn't have you figured this was a way out we'll find out and as i guess michael will that he's free to talk i think to find out why what was really going on here i think it has to go back to the fateful decision in 2014 why did president obama fire michael flint what was the reason behind that. and then of course another question here brings into question the fact that the justice department refutes the claims made by the f.b.i. it suggests a conflict of reasoning between the 2 didn't it. well i think what we have in the marxian is a bunch of partisan hack. lawyers that frankly should be disbarred and prosecuted for what they did i make peop

now the f.b.i. is has mistakenly revealed the identity of a saudi official believed to be linked to the 911 attacks it's information so sensitive the u.s. government has been trying to keep it secret for months the official was named during the u.s. federal lawsuit filed by families of the victims of the attacks on september the 11th 2001 they accuse the saudi government of complicity the declaration was filed by an f.b.i. official a senior u.s. government official says that this was done in error while a spokesman for the victims' families says they believe they've uncovered a link between 911 hijackers and the saudi embassy in washington 15 of the 19911 hijackers were citizens of saudi arabia saudi government denies any connection. michael isikoff is chief investigative correspondent in yahoo news he says the official f.b.i. account of saudi arabia's links to 911 differs from what was revealed in court. the saudis are critical ally of the us government despite all the strains in u.s. saudi relation

the f.b.i. opened cross fire hurricane. that means the russians knew that he could possibly use the steele dossier as a vehicle to plant disinformation and sow chaos to undermine the american government. second -- the f.b.i. had an open counterintelligence case on steele's key source by failed to give that information to the fisa court. the f.b.i. had intelligence that some of steele's sources had connections to the russian intelligence. that's point three. point four -- steele had sources connected to the russian presidential administration and some supported clinton, not trump. five -- the crossfire hurricane team was aware in late-january 2017 that russian intelligence may have targeted orbis. six, steel's primary source viewed his or her contact not as a network of sources, but rather as simply friends that discuss current events. seven, two intelligence reports, one from january 12, 2017, the other from february 27, 2017, indicated that information contained within the steele dossier was a p

since the f.b.i. launched its russia probe in july 2016, there's been no shortage of stories about what did or did not happen in the months leading up to that election. for the better part of three years the speculation dominated headlines and news feeds with even the smallest details consuming hours of airtime. beyond the russian actives measure campaign, which we know did happen, there was a lot of attention focused on the trump campaign itself. now, almost four years later, we know a lot about what happened and what didn't happen. for example, we know from the mueller report that there was no crime of collusion or obstruction committed by the president or his campaign. but since the special counsel's report was completed more than a year ago, we've learned a lot more about the outsized role played by some very senior obama administration officials in what could only be described as an insurgency campaign against the trump presidency. to be blunt, these revelations have given the american people good

to take out flynn for 2 reasons that the media and the deep state at the justice department and the f.b.i. wanted to collect as many scalps as possible and also put the lie to trump's claim he was going to drain the swamp by pointing out that trump had his own swamp so there was a definite move to do that on the other hand michael klim did himself no favors when he lied to the vice president or vice president pence about whether he had discussed sanctions with the russert russian ambassador and you'll see if you go back over those stories in february of 2017 it was trump who said he asked flynn to resign for that reason now the one who actually is really coming out of this looking even worse than he already did before we have to remember is james komi but you know this isn't the 1st time that you've had the f.b.i. try to quote get him to lie to or try to get him fired now not to describe at the work that the f.b.i. does do but they do have a history of kind of shooting 1st asking questions later you have you know richard jewel where he was trained by the f.b.i. so they could find the 96 a

flynn had pleaded guilty to lying to the f.b.i. and was fired by the president., after at first cooperating with the mueller investigation, tiynn changed his tune, and his itwyers, along with conservative media, lobbied for the case to be dropped. well, tonight, in a cbs news exclusive, attorney general william barr explains his decision to our catherine herridge. >> reporter: in our exclusive interview this afternoon inside the department of justice, the attorney general said he was obligated to drop the charges against the president's former national security adviser. >> our duty, we think, is to dismiss the case. >> reporter: it's a stunning turn of events for flynn, who in december 2017, pleaded guilty to uiing to the f.b.i. about his discussions with the russian ambassador after the presidential election. flynn was ultimately fired by the president about three weeks into the job, having also lied to the vice president about his contacts with the russians. anflynn lied, and it's like they ruined his life. it's very unfair. >> reporter: but the department's fi

reasonable doubt michael flynn served as national security advisor in 2017 he was questioned by the f.b.i. on his contacts with the then russian ambassador over the possible lifting of sanctions flip was fired amid accusations that he lied to agents about the conversation eventually led to him pleading guilty indeed on one count of misleading the f.b.i. a little trouble says now he expects consequences for those who went after flynn. he is a great gentleman he was targeted by the obama administration and he was targeted in order to trying to take down a president and what they've done is a disgrace and i hope a big price is going to be paid and course now the charges are dropped and somewhat cause doubt on the initial accusations since flynn was the main catalyst for launching the whole russia gate process in the 1st place let's have a quick reminder of how the claim sent the us media into 5th gear michael flynn is a liar why did the f.b.i. witness tampering now it is possibly treason but mike flynn is what people thought about when they're thinking when he's talking people might have gon
