well look i covered the whitey bulger trial i'm from boston and we all know that the f.b.i. for twenty years steadfastly steadfastly denied that whitey bulger the brother of a high ranking massachusetts politician the speaker of the house formally was in fact a f.b.i. informant and that f.b.i. informant had been given a free pass to to kill people here in boston and elsewhere and in florida it was a complete debacle so there's not a lot of love lost between the f.b.i. and local law enforcement in boston anyhow but what i really believe is that. tamarins and i have clearly had a relationship with and you can't even say for sure if it was the f.b.i. the cia if it was apartment homeland security drug enforcement squad what we do know for sure is that tomlinson i have was on two separate tamil terror watch lists you mentioned in the intro that the f.s.b. the the much maligned f.s.b. warned americans not once but twice in march of two thousand and eleven the f.b.i. in boston received a letter v. via its legal attache in moscow say look we've intercepted some text messages between

whitey bulger was the name used. >> i'm from rhode island, i remember it well. and he ran into a formal claim, a full, written, formal claim of executive privilege by president george w. bush at the time. he had no horse in the race. he was just -- his attorney general said this is a tradition and we don't want to give in on it and would you give me the claim of privilege and he said, yeah, i'll give you the claim of privilege, and congressman burton, chairman burton won. he went to the mat. he was willing to go to contempt, and he got the materials. some things were subtracteded from them and the particular things are those that were genuine rule 6e and actual transcripts of the grand jury rather than just things that touched the grand jury or have been asked for for the grand jury or something out there and that was a remarkable example because it was not that many committee chairs senate or house are interested in doing that retrospective oversight, but he did it. >> so if you have any further comments on that subject, i'd love to give you the chance to answe
