[laughter] this man entrance from the fbi and help keep our country safe. reached out to communities across the country, particularly those from other lands, to understand their problems, to build bridges, to inspire common values, and to shape their perception of law enforcement in a truly unique american context. if your son or daughter wanted to be a public servant, they need to look no further than bob mueller to learn how to do it honorably, with old-school values, that will always end your -- endure. his love and affection for his family is obvious. for all these years of service, his ace in the hole has been his college sweetheart. her devotion and sacrifice, her love and commitment to bob and their family has allowed us to enjoy the benefits of their joint service to our country. your smile, your warmth, and your care for the men and women on the app the i -- the men and women of the fbi have been magnificent to behold, and as good as bob is, you're even better. thank you on behalf of my family, and on behalf of intelligence officers for what you ha

and the fbi was in the right every single time. the fbi batting a thousand. according to the fbi. 's all that ever matters because really nobody ever asks anybody else to look into it. right now, this self-evidently super dodgegy even laughably dodgegy fbi internal review process is the only review process by which the bizarre shooting death of igrahim todashev is being checked out. he was killed during an interview with the fbi inside his orlando condo. the way we found out he'd been killed is the fbi put out a statement saying mr. todashev had been killed following a violent confrontation inside his condo. what kind of violent confrontation? the fbi wouldn't say officially but then the anonymous leaks started spewing. first anonymous law enforcement sources said that he was armed with some kind of knife. except then they said he was not. then anonymous leaking law enforcement sources said he was actually armed with some kind of pole or broom stick. and then anonymous law enforcement sources said, okay, no, maybe he wasn't armed with either of those things, either. then they said,

in the mid-80s, i said whitey is an fbi rat. that's the only explanation for him being on the street. that was not me thinking it up. i heard it from the people i mentioned, but they were so frustrated at this point, that they could not take him down legitimately, and in one case, there was, after -- when bobby long and the state cops went after him, somebody vet secretly incerted a rider into the state police budget killing the salaries for all the state police commanders. no one figured out what happened, but it happened in the state senate. huh, i wonder who could have dope that. [laughter] >> oh, dear. the stories, not all conventional ways of a mob story, one is that the -- the way he -- well, there's a lot of families, didn't he? >> that, to me, is the interesting parts of the story too is that, you know, here's a guy who had so many -- very complex, and i mean, he had -- he's an fbi informanet, he denies that and prefers the word "liaison." >> tour guide. >> an fbi informant, and at the same time, head of the underworld, a

it looks good for the fbi. the idea he was going give them anything on the match too -- the italians woptd have told whitey if his pans were on fire. his associate knew a lot about the mafia had been recruited several times. always turned them down saying i want to stay on my own. and he does it for two,s. it looks good for him. there's an ult tier your mode m going back to the hood. that was protect the family. this is going to look great for me. make sure i'm okay. i'll keep talking to them. i can cover my tracks. anything i can use this -- i can send them off on people i want to get out of my way. >> that's absolutely right. right around the time that whitey becomes an inform mantd, he actually charged with 19 murders. he's charged with killing nineteen people. one of the people is a guy who had been kind of a rivel gang, and eventually basically sort of there was some mediation and worked together. he still had it in his mind he wanted to wipe out the guys he never liked from the rival gang. after he becomes

the fbi was there one week later. >> that's even better than three weeks but the point is the fbi always seems to be dragging behind everybody else. jeff? >> you're asking me. >> yeah. >> well, again, in this particular case, i doemg know. i know in the east african bombing, kenya and tanzania, it took weeks. may have had to do with a misunderstanding of what was going on. >> it's the same we heard in benghazi. they didn't know what was going on in realtime as if they didn't have the drone and the video and the phone and the audio calls. last question, what we've got now as i understand it, there are thousands of criminals that are breaking out of jails in libya and in a lot of the countries in the middle east and so what we've got are, you know, certainly more people who are in the business of trying to kill us and are willing to do so. do you think, gary, that this will make a difference in terms of the safety of americans or do you think this is added to the threat? >> clearly when you have a thousand people break out of a prison in benghazi as they did this week, these are probably s

the father of a young man recently killed by fbi has come to the united states from russia this week nvestigate his son's death. his son is ibragim todashev, shot and killed inside his home in orlando in may when being questioned by fbi agents and law enforcement officials about, well, we don't know exactly. he was apparently at least an acquaintance, if not a friend of one of the boston bombing suspects. so presumably that was part of the questioning, but really we do not know because ibragim todashev is dead and fbi will not speak on the record about how or why they killed him. at a press conference today, lawyers for mr. todashev's father revealed that the fbi asked to meet with him also. the fbi asked to meet with the father, and the father said no. >> the fbi did attempt to question mr. todashev, but he did not speak to them because he didn't have any attorneys present at the time. >> i think if anything, what happened, unfortunately, with his son, taught a very important reminder for all of us you should never meet with law enforcement without an attorney present. >> the father

the fbi is taking over. it is a critical turning point. >> it was an uncomfortable situation, because the alcohol, tobacco and firearms felt a great sense of loss. it was their own men, their own agents who were down and gone. shortly thereafter, they were told that we were going to be taking over the handling of the response to the events on that day. and that was crushing for them, as well. >> at the time, you know, it is percentage. you have some animosity. i felt a little -- you know, hey, someone is coming in and taking away what i started. but you know it was for the best. because you never know because of what we just went through what we would have done. >> we're out of here! >> get out of here! >> get out of here! >> go, go, go. >> i need help! >> news of the shootout immediately spreads from coast to coast. the national press swarms into waco looking for answers. and from the start, one question dominates all others. who shot first? >> when we drove up, the davidians opened fire. and i am sickened b

the shooting review process at the fbi well, the last 150 fbi shootings that it reviewed were all determinede justified shootings. all 150 of the last 150 they looked at. case closed. that's it. the list of those calling for someone other than the fbi to have a look at this or at least for the fbi to explain something, anything, publicly about what happened here, it started with advocacy groups like the council on american islamic relations and the in florida and in massachusetts. it then moved on to the editorial pages of the patriot ledger newspaper in massachusetts and to the "boston globe" and to "the boston herald" and, frankly "the boston globe" and "the boston herald" never agree on anything especially on the editorial page but they agree that the fbi has to say something about this. we have covered this story a lot. honestly because it is inconceivable to me that the fbi is just treating this it like it's over and there's no need for any official public notice at all. they're just going to keep leaking out implausible but always self-exculpatory things to the press and expect us all

and if you know where to find him, the fbi could make it worth your while. this fugitive's catch me if you can story, began on the kind of day that makes wintering in phoenix look appealing. it was reporter dave sislack's beat. >> it's a quiet community, low-crime area. when it happened, it was pretty surprising. >> what happened, what surprised and shocked everyone here, happened shortly after 10:00 a.m. on november 29th, 2004, monday after thanksgiving weekend. an armored car made its way to the multiplex theater to pick up the holiday weekend box office. the driver pulled up in front of the amc and his partner walked quickly into the theater. he picked up the holiday weekend cash from a manager, signed a receipt for the $56,000 and headed back out to the truck. before the courier reached the safety of his fortified vehicle, six gun shots shattered the mall's morning quiet. the gunman snachbed the money bag. a security camera caught a glimpse of him, dropping the bag and picking it up, before he went into the alley, jumped on to a bicycle and raced away. le

i've worked with the fbi as a criminal defense lawyer. s want to talk to my client to get a statement and find out where he was, what he was doing, who he knew. they had the exact opposite. they didn't put him under surveillance and hope for the best. they went out to talk to him. >> greta, you're talking about after he's your client. i'm talking about active investigation going on. when you look at things in the criminal world, it's similar to a terrorist world as far as investigations go. they're out there working these active investigations. they have to look at the entire case. they're not lack of report trying to get a good story. they're going to actually go out and develop the leads and each piece of the pie leads to another piece the pie. >> let me tell you two problems why i'm suspicious of that viewpoint. number one, last september a man from tunisia went into custody in tunisia and the fbi supposedly wanted to talk to him and the report was that the fbi couldn't. the tunisian government wouldn't let that happen. we went through

for the fbi. his briefing memos went directly to j. edgar hoover himself. over the years three separate organized crime strike forces, one in newark, one in chicago, one in brooklyn tried to put them away. could people are trying to get this mad dog killer of the street. other members of the fbi you are protecting him and keeping it on the street. these are a couple of the homicides that he did. vincent in the upper left corner is a guy named vincent pizarro. he shot him while he was trimming christmas tree lights with his wife, christmas lights on his house. over to the right, that's nicholas nicky sitting in his toyota land cruiser outside a social club. he rolled up in a car must try to shoot him. the gun jammed and is killing partner to shot him in cold blood. down below in the left-hand corner joe, the adopted son for all practical purposes, not legally, but he was like a second son. he was the godfather to just child, the best managers wedding joe was the best man at gregory jr. sweating. tha

and how did the fbi have the authority to do this?think are the issues when we are building the state in the 21st century? >> that is exactly the right point to emphasize, alex. what we see in the fbi's story in the pursuit of dr. king is everyone else in government who believing the supposed expertise and claims that the fbi was making about the danger represented by king, based on their supposed better secret knowledge. the bottom line lesson is very straightforward, very powerful. people, whether in government, or citizens, should not defer blindly to the supposed expertise of intelligence agencies. >> david garrow gets tonight's last word, thank you for joining us, david. >> thank >>> good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. tonight on "all in" after days of ratcheting up the rhetoric to intervene in syria, our congress and tonight the british parliament is saying not so fast. that in a moment. >>> also tonight, fast food workers in 60 cities across the country spent the day on strike, protesting to raise their wage, shutting

welcome to the fbi, everyone. z: right hand in the air, we do not know if austin's death was a murder or not. but let's say it was a homicide. what would you guys do next? notify his next of kin. his father's already on his way down here. sounds good. hmm. thank you for your, uh, cooperation. uh, hold on. hold on, hold on, hold on. hold -- am i working with my husband or the fbi? yes. on an overdose or a murder? maybe both. the second we know more, we'll let you know. so far, i find being an fbi agent very...frustrating. [ sighs ] oh, lauren. lauren, i -- i am so sorry, sweetheart, but, uh, it looks like i am back on duty. mm, i understand. it was great to meet your friends. really? [ chuckles ] [ grunts ] okay, you be careful out there. oh, tell that to the bad guys. [ chuckles ] [ exhales sharply ] isn't she beautiful? yeah, you should watch how you kiss her. your gun almost went off. you have no idea. dr. blair, thank you so much for coming down. we would have been happy to come to you. no, i'd rather not have p

he's our law enforcement analyst and former assistant director of the fbi. tom, 22 embassies and consulates will be closed as of tomorrow. the u.s. government is announcing that. why not close them immediately? >> well, i think the reason was because the threats that they intercepted were pretty date specific as to the end of ramadan, which is tomorrow, sunday. so i think that's why they didn't close them sooner, and actually in those countries the embassies would have already been closed on friday and saturday, the muslim holy days. so their weekends are basically friday and saturday. sunday is essentially the equivalent of monday in the west. it's the first day of the workweek. so closing them on sunday means closing them for the first day of the workweek, which coincides with the end of ramadan. >> and will they be closed for a protracted period of time? >> that we don't know. i think once you call on a threat, how do you call it off? so i don't know how long they'll keep them open or closed, i mean. or if they will add more embassies or reduce and just ha

he has a right to take the fifth but fbi agents don't usually take the fifth. he refuses a a polygraph unheard of for an fbi agent. that is where they put guys in the box and they give them immunity. why would you give the guy made the? that immunity prevented him from prosecuting him so basically closed the investigation. he retired with full pension in sarasota where is he works as a private detective and has a harley davidson until the brooklyn d.a. camelot. the feds decided to call it a hoax and a scam. they came up with the theory that it was completely fabricated which is absurd. how could gregory come up with this stuff and why would ramzi yousef give it to the feds? he is putting himself in various murder conspiracies. scarfo tries to get down with release time for helping the government. he gets 40 years in the supermax not a single murder. the vecchione of pr close takes the fifth and is granted immunity again and he says i don't recall over 40 times. i'm going to wrap this up. it's almost done. why should we care? john gotti's reaganite social club. t

>> so we told her what the fbi report said. wayne williams cannot be excluded as the source of those two hairs. she listened. then this. >> without a shadow of a doubt, i really in my heart believe that wayne williams killed patrick baltazar. ♪ >>> next, trained to kill. >> were you trained in unarmed combat techniques? could you grab somebody bigger than yourself, put them in a choke hold. >> i'm sure there are other things in unarmed combat besides putting somebody in a choke hold. d g >>> good morning, how are you doing? >> when we return to prison for our final interview with wayne williams, we had one question he was not expecting. what wayne had written about being recruited for espionage training as a teenager at a secret government camp hidden in the woods near this north georgia lake, where he was given what could amount to a license to kill. it's called, finding myself. what's finding myself? it reads like an autobiography. >> go ahead. i'm listening. >> it's an account of your cia training. >> we're not going to get i

he is the most significant sea change for an organization such as the fbi. te, whether the fbi in a post-9/11 world could handle the traditional law enforcement responsibilities that it was known for and also collect intelligence that contributed to national security and share that intelligence. and so it's good that george tenet is here this morning, because it is because of george and his cooperation, collaboration, sending 20 reports officers over to fbi headquarters shortly after 9/11 which then became the baseline for the director of intelligence that allowed the fbi, enabled the fbi to continue that transformation. so in addition to all the pundits and all the critics, we have the official inquiries, of the 9/11 commission, of course, the president's foreign intelligence advisory board, his own directors advisory board all giving suggestions, advice, input as to what the fbi needed to do. matter experts, some who actually knew what they were talking about and most of the others who were also giving their views to bob mueller. and so during this time he,

to the fbi. rmer agent said that despite his pleas to the agents, the man was killed. the long details show exhibit a, that no one is always squeaky clean, that no one is infallible, and everybody should be questioned. after the boston bombings, an fbi agent went to florida to interview a friend of one of the suspected bombers. now maybe they wanted to talk to ibrahim todashev about the boston bombings, or maybe they wanted to talk to him about the homicide that was linked to them after the marathon. we don't really know what was discussed because the fbi has not told us. but what we do know is this, after hours of questioning the young man, and this was apparently the fourth time he was being interviewed, after hours of questions, to somebody who had made himself available to the fbi again and again, fbi agents shot the young man in his own home. the family has released photo his of him taken apparently at the morgue, showing him shot six times in the torso, and one in the back of the head. this

was there a negotiation between dimaggio and the fbi team? t's simply a team that is trained in these kind of situations. so i cannot release any specifics on what transpired leading up to thmpt these are the teams that go in whether or not there's negotiation or not, they are trained to handle the situations no matter what transpires. >> how far from the original site where they were spotted on wednesday were they today? >> not far, they were relatively close to the same area. >> does hannah have any physical injuries? >> no, she appears to be doing okay at this point. >> she is in a boise hospital right now? >> i cannot tell you where she is, she was taken to a local hospital? >> they were swimming. >> give us a sense of how complicated, sort of qualify how complicated and how sensitive a mission that was given the circumstances? >> of course, this is a homicide suspect that was in a rugged area and we had a 16-year-old girl that we wanted to bring home safely. that is what we wanted, we wanted her home and we wanted it to end safely and tha

>> certainly parts of the fbi were. we had boston agents who were giving the names and locations of people so that organized crime could murder them. paul rico who died in jail before he could reach trial, john connolly another one, john morris w.h.o. was immunized, all played varying levels in that corruption. but we also had it at the local level too. >> what did washington know and when did they know it? >> washington was happy with the success that these people brought in for the prosecution of la cosa nostra, the italian organized crime. so they really didn't look very deeply into the relationship with bulger. >> who is this john connolly fellow? apparently whitey bulger called him zip, because they grew up in the same housing project when connolly went to boston college. joined the fbi as a young man, had a couple of postings before he ended up in boston. he was in charge of confidential -- he had his own confidential informants and recruits james "whitey" bulger as one of them. he tipped bulger off about witnesses

so we were in communication, as was the fbi. they've been in our office. this has been a joint effort from really day one, and it's the way law enforcement is supposed to work. and i'm very gratified to see it resolved in this way with this joint effort and collaboration which was really unprecedented. okay? thank you, all, very much. >> okay. there, that's officials in san diego, california, saying that they have found hannah anderson, and she is alive. the 16-year-old that had been missing since sunday, really. and they are also saying that the suspect, the 40-year-old suspect in all of this, james dimaggio, was killed. 4:22 pacific standard time. what they're saying is that a campsite apparently the two were at was spotted from the air. ground units were sent in. there was a shootout at the north end of moorhead lake in idaho. and james dimaggio was killed. there was an fbi tactical team there. that's a tactical team that located mr. dimaggio. the salt lake city police department was there. portland police department. san francisco's police department. t

that is what we want the fbi to do. the other aspect -- the opportunity within the jttf structure, the opportunity to share with representatives if it warrants, to share with their department. >> right there. >> i am adam, the fire chief in alexandria, virginia. i appreciate the conversation about state local intelligence sharing. it struck me earlier as we were having a conversation about connecting the dots that that first thing but not the only thing. there is this matter of communicating the picture to the people who need to know. that includes my people if you think of all the iconic images of these events. firefighters are front and center. what do you think we still need to do to connect the dots and communicate that information effectively to the people that are zero dark thirty? >> i will answer this way. it is an nctc program that we do with fbi and dhs. it was an organization within nctc where we had a small number of state local representatives from fire departments and police departments, and serve on detail

castro under went >> yes. >> with the fbi not with the gentleman mr.who was just here >> correct. >> okay. and did you review the letter that mr. castro allegedly wrote? >> on 4 april 2004? >> yes. >> he certainly talked about he believes he suffered from mental illness, right? states. >> mr. thomas just asked you ab dever say he needed help, he talked about'04 in a l he wrote, didn't he? >> he wrote "i am a sexual predator who needs help but i don't bother to get it." >> he talked about being sexually abused himself when he was a child, right? >> yes. >> he talked about an addiction to masturbation and pornography. >> yes. >> does that excuse his conduct in this case? >> no. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> we're listening to the testimony there of the forensic psychiatrist who was work the fbi who evaluated the evidence against ariel castro saying that this was a completely unprecedented case. we'll take a quick break and we'll be back after this. i'm gonna give jimmy some honey maid teddy grahams to snack on. are they actually made with real fruit and

first, things went very well, and then the fbi caught austin dealing. in thought that i-i-i could just stop making the ghb, get rid of the equipment, he would feed the feds peter, we would both go free. [ sighs ] that was very naive. how? because peter benjamin was in much the same place that i was. his portfolio was in ruins, attendance was down, the party revenue was nothing compared to what he made selling drugs, so when i told him that i wanted out... [ sighs ] well, he grew very angry. he threatened me. i had no choice but to tell him what was going on and why. so austin tried to protect you, and you went and got him killed? no. no, no. no. peter said, well, he would just fire austin, make him useless to the fbi. it wasn't until afterwards, when peter called me, when he ordered me to come pick up that car, that i -- that i found out what really happened. that's awfully vague, doctor. that austin had been killed. and peter benjamin said that i had better keep the ghb coming or the same thing would happen to me, and that is a quote. [ sighs ] listen,

he was recruited by the fbi in 1975, because the the fbi had a national policy of taking out the mafiaand all of in the country the fbi recruited criminals that would know something about the mafia. one probably with the national policy that doesn't take in to account regional differences. unlike any other place in america, in boston, the irish gang gangsters rival the mafia when it came to influence and lethal ability. the irish guys killed many more than the italian. bulger was a classic example. he was a killer but recruited by the fbi to provide information about the mafia. and that when -- whitey started using them more than they used him. and particularly you'll see it we laid it out in extraordinary details in the book, how much to the fbi went out of the way not just to look the other way when whitey bulger murdered people but thwart the honest attempt from law enforcement to take bulger down. at one point he was a suspect in four separate homicide in a two-year period in the early '70s. including a businessman in oklahoma, a boston businessman murdered in miami, a and a hit on

that's why i think -- i think the fbi needs an enema. the entire situation -- back to this, talked about it in historical context. shelly and i were in washington last week, and i walked by the jay edgar hoover building, what a disgrace that name is up there. what we know about him, the most corrupt government officials in the history of this republic. his name is still on that building. here's ethos still in the building, and that's why all we talk about whitey bulger is still there. >> on that cheery note -- [laughter] i'd like to thank you all for coming a, like to thank shelly murphy, kevin cullen, boston globe to both of you, whitey bulger, i don't know how many have time to come over, but, yes, after this.
