if the fbi did not address the priorities, they often would not be addressed. transnational, international organized crime because organized crime cuts across various jurisdictions and became the third criminal priority. white collar crime. that is number four. five was violent crime. you will see left off that list are a number of things, including the drug cases we have traditionally done previously. but when we say priority, we meant priority. you have to address priorities in order. i moved almost 2000 agents from the criminal programs to counter terrorism and national security because that was the priority. we have, since september 11, then run according to a set of priorities that we continuously review, but precludes us from doing things we have traditionally done, we all enjoyed doing, but is not as necessary as the priorities we have identified, and we were fairly rigorous when it comes to budget, when it comes to personnel. we adhere to those priorities. in a tighter budget, those are the things that save you because you go down the priorities and are

now, the president is being told about the fbi investigation because the white house is getting fbi reports. and the white house is getting fbi reports because a friend of the fbi is -- a friend of the white house is the acting director, but also the fbi assumes that, you know, that the white house ought to know about this. so you have, in a sense, the white house being tipped off as the fbi continues its investigation, the white house is trying to figure out a way to stop the fbi investigation. so here the president is talking to john ehrlichman, his domestic adviser, about what jeb macgruder, is going to have to do to stop the investigation. at this point in july of '72, it's assumed he's going to have to take the fall. the president then suggests what he should say to investigators. >> well, the story

i would note that the fbi is in a very interesting position in our government. it is undoubtedly an executive agency in article two of the constitution. on the other hand, it is designed to be somewhat insulated from day-to-day interference from people engaged in the political affairs of the nation. how would you describe the relationship or what you would say is the ideal relationship between the president and an agency like the fbi? >> it is an interesting question. i would say that one of the great things about my job is i have to be aggressively apolitical, which is wonderful. as an agency, we need to trust the american people in the work that we do an understanding that whatever we do in terms of investigations, whatever we do as the bureau is done without regard to party or politics or what have you, that we are independent. it was somewhat easier prior to september 11 where you had a criminal cases on the one hand and national security was something that was handled elsewhere by the cia, duty, and state department -- the cia, dod, and state department here

the fbi has had it now for 7 years. it has one of the men making a very incriminating statement. >> judge jeanine: and before we go to what is actually on that camcorder tape or whatever it is. i mean if the fbi has had this for years how come we are just hearing about this tape? >> that is exactly my question as well. and i do not know. when we found out that we could go ahead and go with the story that the tape existed we certainly decided to grab it and run with it and get it out there. >> judge jeanine: what is and who is on that tape? >> who is on the tape are the three russians as they have been known. what is on the tape is them passing around the camcorder mocking george smith's death making very crude comments and just wh who are unemployment. horrible. the peak of it all one of them stands up and says we sent that guy paragliding without a parachute. >> meaning george smith the groom. >> and if they had this, this came as a result of the ship giving it to it the fbi? >> correct. well, how it came out and how i

and the question is, will the fbi and the u.s. attorney be able to make the connection between that group and hunt and liddy. and of course, if they make the link to hunt and liddy, can they make the link back to the committee to re-elect the president? and if they make the link to the committee to re-elect the president, can they actually link hunt and liddy back to the operations of the plumbers unit including the illegal break-in at dr. fielding's office? and can they link hunt to the operations that a president ordered chuck colson to undertake, and colson used hunt for some of them. that's the challenge for the white house. and that's why, as we lay out for here -- lay out for you here, that's why the white house undertakes a cover-up. we quote from president nixon's memoirs where he writes, "if the cia could deflect the fbi from hunt, they would thereby protect us from the only white house vulnerability involving watergate that i was worried about exposing. not the break-in but the political activities hunt had undertaken fo

some of it was the product of what they were being told by mark felt, the associate director of the fbi who was known as deep throat and his identity as the main -- not the sole -- but the main undercover source for woodward and bernstein was publicized in 2005. in any case, you've got a lot going on. you've got the senate, then, that gets into the act. and when the senate starts to investigate, a couple of things happen. first of all, john dean becomes the first insider to claim that the president was involved in the cover-up. up to this point, nobody has said that with any credibility. and he's going to do it on tv because the senate has decided to televise the watergate hearings. so dean's testimony is extraordinarily important. and you can watch sort of a dramatic moment when senator howard baker who represents the republican minority on the committee, asks dean the all-important question. >> the question, as i hope not impossibly narrow, but your testimony touches many people. it touches mr. ehrlichman, halderman, colson, mitchell, dean and many others, but i'm trying to focus on t

the fbi was in receipt of some of the information along the way on a particular case that was released. at some point you have to ask yourself a question and again, in our preliminary review we were just told this morning that the cia was going to withhold information at least at this time. leads you to believe that if we are going make this nonpartisan if we are going to make it fair, and complete, which means it has to follow the leads of which they have, you are going to have to have at least some sort of an outside look. because of the nature of the -- at least in the public sources, the -- media leaks, clearly shows that someone who may have been in the -- in the chain to influence an investigation may, in fact, be a part of the investigation. given that, it would only lead one to a conclusion that you should probably have someone outside of the normal track of investigation on the particular leak case. >> first thing i do not believe this is politically motivated. issue was talking about whether or not this was used politically. this is an event that happened and very serious. th

for instance, this one that was in the fbi manual, never attempt to shake hands with an asian. or how about, never stare at an asian? i must personally take offense of that, i must tell you. and how about this? the arabic mind. or growing facial hair is is an indicator of extremism? i think those are statements that have to be removed from those manuals. and my question has to do with the fact that a generation of fbi agents and joint terrorism task force members have been trained with these biased materials. what is the department doing to make sure that those that have been trained with those materials don't hold these kinds of stereotypes? >> well, we have certainly removed those materials so that the training does not continue and as people are updated in their training, we make clear to them that that material was inappropriately shared with them before. there are ongoing things that happened in the field offices to make sure that people don't rely on the kinds of things that you have just read to the record in their enforcement efforts. so it's an ongoing thing. we underst

the fbi is looking into that investigation for leaks. ctor muller called for an investigation into the leak last month in yemen. you remember al qaeda and the arabian peninsula had been working on developing one of those underwear bombs that uses explosives that are difficult to detect. we were told intelligence had some sort of person in there who had found this out. the problem with that leak though and that information was that operation was still ongoing. we had this cascading effect of leaks that have come out. the fbi is going to look at those. what the fbi said is that it's focusing their investigations on the source of the leaks. they have not said they are looking specifically at the white house as the source of those leaks. that's really becoming somewhat of a political football right now. >> there are some on capitol hill who are saying the white house is responsible for the leaks. of course, the spokesman jay carney was asked about that.
