there is a doctrine and there was a memo called the gates memo from a previous time -- the yates memo, from a previous time that reviews the possibility of identifying individuals engaged in wrongdoing. could you give us an updated tutorial on corporation credit and whether the current administration, under your leadership and others, still uses the yates memo as the guiding document? mr. rosenstein: this whole thing about memos being named after deputies attorney general -- i have always felt that way. i did before i took the job. i have been with the department for 30 years. one of the challenges is figuring out exactly what the policies are. often there are memos that are promulgated and memos upon memos and they tend to accumulate. and we see turnover in the department. it may be that not everybody got the memo. so one of my goals is to make sure we don't try to govern by memo. it's a very inefficient way to manage a large organization. we ought to govern by policies and people are to know where to find to be policies. we do have in the department the u.s. attorney's manual, which

what were referred to as the yates memo which replaced the thompson memo they were not real rosenstein at all at least. because what i intend to do is to codify these rules in the u.s. attorney's manual. what it is is an individual accountability policy. it's an evolving master by a number of deputies attorney general to articulate and not just corporations. it's not sufficient. it may be necessary, but not sufficient to simply require corporations to write a check. we have to be focused on identifying individuals because that's the most effect way to establish a deterrent in the long run. that is the goal of this individual accountability policy. we are reviewing it. i anticipate when we codify foliar u.s. attorneys manual it will follow the same general guidelines in the existing policy. there may be some modest changes and that is not to say anybody but it really is an evolving policy because we should be evaluating how it works. i've heard concern within the department about ambiguities in the policy. we've got complaints from some members of the private bar about ambiguities inden

this is james yates who was given 12 yea rs this is james yates who was given 12 years for supplyinge gun which killed rhys jones in years for supplying the gun which killed rhstones in 2007. he was released on licence so few years ago. then he was subsequently rea rrested ago. then he was subsequently rearrested for drugs offences. they were dropped but it also breached bail. now there has been a decision by the parole office to let him out. understandably the father of rhys jones is furious. he says he was the worst of the lot because he gave them the garden. i think we'll get a lot of the stories because people are always going to come up for pa role are always going to come up for parole and it's always going to be controversial given what's happened withjohn controversial given what's happened with john warboys. moving on, and looking at the express in a moment. one story that doesn't seem to have made the front pages is the fact you've actually been taken over. how's that gone down? is quite an exciting time, i'd recommend being pa rt exciting time, i'd recommend being part of

he got rid of yates. he's just going down the list. he's going after this guy rosenstein who is a apparently a lifelong republican because he's in his way. i think he is. we all know he's heading for mueller firing anybody that dares to challenge him in terms of enforcing the law. >> which is why my colleagues on the republican side of the aisle from the leadership on down and olympian announce, the track they're going down is baffling. they have a responsibility. our first responsibilities as a separate branch of government is to make sure that we protect and preserve our institutions. and for them to become co-conspirators with this president to begin or to try to discredit and turn and tear down this institution where we've been following, you know, what the hypocritical aspect of my colleagues is we just had a vote on the fisa reauthorization not too long ago. they are saying all of these things now. when vote took place, they voted to reauthorize it without further restrictions. they were fine then but now they're saying something

memo which the yates replaced the phillips memo, which replaced the thompson memo, which replaced the holder memo. there will not be a rosenstein memo on that issue at least because i intend to codify these rules in the u.s. attorneys manual. effort by aving number of deputies attorneys general to articulate our goal that our prosecutor should be focused on trying to identify culpable individuals and not just corporations. it is not sufficient, it might be necessary, but not sufficient for a corporation to require the organization to write a check. we should be focusing on culpable individuals because that is the most effective way to establish a deterrent. that is the goal of the individual accountability policy. we are reviewing it and i believe that when we examine the manual, it will follow the general guidelines as the policy. there will be some changes, and that is not to say that anybody got it wrong in the past. it ought to be an evolving policy because we should evaluate how it works. i have spoken with other department heads about ambiguous policies. i have gotten some compl

now, what about sally yates' ya' role in all of this?all remember watching her sit at that table. she was very upset. she felt michael flynn had done something very wrong and she wanted to bring it to the attention of the trump white house while she -- when she overland and was still in her position there she clearly felt he did something wrong and also observers of this story would say so did michael flynn because he admitted to something. >> well, sally yates was essentially running the justice department during the transition and she was the acting attorney general for the first 10 days of the trump administration as well. she has reportedly thought that michael flynn in that phone call might have violated something called the logan act. you have probably talked about that in the past. that's 200-year-old law that has never been successfully enforced. never. nevertheless flynnevertheless yt flynn violated that important to blackmail. as you alluded to before there was a story that flynn had denied to vice president mike pence that he,

so what we refer to as the yates mem which, which replaced the phillip menu which replaced the holder menu, there will not be a rosenstein memo, on that issue at least, because what i intend to do is canned fi these rules in the u.s. attorney's manual. we're reviewing this, what really is an individual accountability policy, it's -- it's an effort by a number of deputies attorney general to articulate our goal that our prosecutors should be focused on trying to identify culpable individuals and not just corporations. it's not sufficient, it may be necessary, but it's not sufficient for enforcement to simply require corporation to write a check. we ought to be focus, identifying culpable individuals because that's the most effective way to establish a deterrent in the long run. so that's the goal of this individual accountability policy. we are reviewing it, i anticipate that when we codify it fully in our u.s. attorney's manual, it'll flole the same general guidelines as economisting policy, there may be some modest changes, i think that's not to say anybody necessarily got it wrong i

joe biden, james comey, salary yates and president of the united states and her, saying they did everythingby the book. she went on in the letter. what do you think is going on there? do you have any questions yourself? >> i have a lot of questions. frankly i don't know what is going on. that email raises a lot of questions. i can assure you five minutes before you walk out of the door of the white oust on january 20th, 2017, you write email doing something by the book,ç it is pretty clear u didn't operate by the book. it raises a lot of serious questions. there have been two storylines when it comes to the russia probe. fbi investigation and now special counsel probe has found no evidence of collusion but a eparate story the mainstream media really isn't covering it, talks about what the fbi, doj, we saw with the text messages last week and email that you guys are talking about right now, maybe the white house was involved in prompting this investigation and you know, there are real questions that senator grassley and senator graham have raised. i think they demand answers. steve: we don'

sally yates and susan rice herself.ccording to rice in this email, obama instructed the officials in the room to consider withholding national intelligence from the incoming trump administration in case they were compromised by russia. in other words, almost two months after the presidential election, barack obama viewed trump not as his democratically elected successor but as a traitor and a russian spy. obama viewed himself as someone who somehow had the right to withhold government documents from an elected president. that's not the behavior of someone who believes in democracy. and, yet, that meeting set the tone for that year and all subsequent arguments since. democrats have treated trump and his elections as illegitimate ever since then. and at the heart of their case against trump and this administration is the steele dot yea. so this day the dossier is the only publicly available document that details alleged collusion with russia. now, of course, we have talked a lot about the dossier on this program. but rela

we all remember in january when sally yates warned don mcgahn about michael filppula. so this is the second time when don mccagahn was warned and he didn't do anything. >> the spin from the white house today, you heard sarah sanders, the president supports victims of domestic abuse. we haven't heard him tweet that or say that. we've heard his aides quote him as saying it. >> and of course it means so much more coming from the president. especially after we had the visual. porter's first wife and the black eye that she sustained. what makes there more puzzling, the president for all intents and purposes, could have had legitimate applausibility. all the reporting shows that he may not have known with rob porter's past and this is more of a mcgahn and kelly problem. instead of the president saying, i'm angry i didn't know. this is not could not don't. of course i support the women. he chose to support rob porter publicly. yet behind closed doors, he is reportedly calling him garbage or a sick puppy. so i don't understand the president's doubling down on defending him whe

you know, the whole yates thing is very odd. she went over to the white house to allege a logan act violation, which is perfectly bizarre. she was saying that he was in violation of a law that prevents citizens from getting involved in foreign relations. that law is viewed as unconstitutional, never used to convict anyone. if that was the basis for her asking for an investigation, it throws her conduct into question. but there's a lot here that probably doesn't concern flynn a great deal. the reports are that he had been drained financially by the mueller investigation, had to sell his house, and that they were threatening that his son could also be charged. all of that ended up securing the plea. but since then there's a lot that's come down, that might be frankly a little bit irritating for him. if he was not told that the initial conclusion was that he didn't lie. >> yeah. admitted to that. that's going to be problematic for him. as you say, breaks the deal, face the wheel, tough to undo. >> it is. i have a column in "the hil

james comey, andrew mccabe, sally yates, dana boente, rod rosenstein are all complies sit in this because they all approved surveillance on page. now this part is shocking. the fbi then used a yahoo news report that was written by michael his cough about a carter page trip to russia as evidence to corroborate information in the phony dossier. the source for the information and the yahoo news report was none other than christopher steele, the same author of the dossier that they were using. so the fbi used steele's leaked to ya other to corroborate the dossier created by the same person, steele. this is what we call circular reporting, because the fbi was pretending that they had two sources, when in facts it was the same source, and they were presenting that go to the judge. now the memo was also exposing how christopher steele the former british spy that according to reports was known to pay russian sources, had previously worked closely with the fbi, was suspended and then terminated as an fbi source for leaking to the press about his relationship with the bureau. we also know, independ

james comey, andrew mccade, sally yates, rod rosenstein, they are all complicit in this because theyt different points all approved the surveillance. they used this yahoo news article written by michael isikoff to corroborate the former domain phony dossier. the source for the story for isikoff was christopher stele. the fbi never corroborated the information from two different sources and they presented it to the judge like it was two sources corroborating the same thing. that was never the case. as it relates to steele, he was also suspended and terminated as an fbi source for leaking to the media.us the memo also exposes the bruce ohr maintained a close relationship with steele. we know that bruce ohr had an office four doors down from jim comey! we know that his wife was working forr fusion gps. specifically hired to build that trump dossier.t she was kind of paid by the clintons when you look at it logically. as "the daily caller" points out, sure does look like fusion gps was trying to buy influence in the obama state department. bruce ohr revealed that during september 2016, s

christopher steele, bruce ohr and the doj, sally yates, andrew mccabe at the fbi.mer director james comey, they were spreading the disinformation campaign. you know what's interesting, they tried to say that it was the russians. but the whole time based on an unverified and salacious dossier and those are the words coming out of comey's own mouth, they used that to spread lies about the trump campaign to the media and anybody they could try to share it with. and this is what is so incredible. the media bought it. and they chose to ignore the other side. they chose to ask for verification. and the entire precedence of the special counsel was based on that dossier according to mccabe. >> sean: you know, i even have testimony, i don't have the time to display it ought. so much information to get out tonight, gregg jarrett remember when he, comey, met with donald trump, he said it's unverified and it's is he legs. salacious. two months earlier he was arguing the opposite. they knew where this dossier came from and they never told the fisa court. criminally speaking, is

james comey fired directoren andrew mccabe and pushed out sally yates, fired.torney general dana who had been fired and brought him back. and deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. the white house denied tonight that rod's job is on the line but denied that the president ever tried to fire special counselor robert mueller, which we now know he did. people have been calling this a slow motion saturday night massacre. after nixon cleared out the justice department to try to stop the investigation against him. joining us now is our friend michael besh squlosh. thank you for being with us. put this in context in terms of magnitude and how big a deal this is and how strange it is. j just as you have been suggesting, we could in the next few days seeing the firing of rod rosenstein, which could load to an effort to constrain robert mueller's investigation or even shut it down. so i suggest the next couple days we all sleep with one eye open because we don't know what's going to. happen. even a larger context, this is a guy donald trump who since the time he was elec

so obama, comey, sally yates, biden and susan rice in the oval office. they just had their briefing. quote, president obama began the conversation by stressing his continued comment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the intelligence and law enforcement communities by the book. the president stressed he's not asking about initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective and reit hated our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book. from a national security perspective, however, president obama said he wants to be sure that as we engage with the incoming team we're mindful to ascertain if there is any reason we cannot share information fully as it relates to russia and then the whole next paragraph is classified, totally redacted and picks up at the bottom of the page. the president asked comey to inform him if anything changes in the next few weeks that should affect how we share classified information with the incoming team. comey said he would. so this was initially cloassifid as t

you thin atividuals who no longer doj or fbi from sally yates james yocomey, and now, of cour, andy mccabe retiring this week or being forced out he has an enemy's list, and he, one by one, is removingom them this investigation. we must do all we can in congress to protect bobmueller. there's legislation from republicans and democrats to do that. and if this is not an alarm for us to do that when we get back, i don't know wh >> do you think he would fire rosenstein? it looks like he's set the circumstances to fire senstein. people may ask why does it matter if he fires deputy attorney general rosenstein? because he set the parameters of mueller's investigation. he approved the -- he's technically the person who would have to fire bob >> so let's just say hypothetically, rosenstein is fired, what would you do? you also sit on the house judiciary committee, which would take up impeachment for these proceedings if it re to happen? >> i and with the supp of others, would move tohe house judiciary committy to take up impeacent proceedings. i believe that would be clear obstruction justice and t

off on this warrant, the extension of the carter page warrant, as did three people, including sally yatesefore him. would it have been obvious in your opinion that the court was not being fully informed about the dossier's role in the carter page application? >> that's not obvious to me. the memo doesn't say rod rosenstein knew about the origins of the on dossier or anything about that information. it says senior fbi and department of justice people knew. that could mean other people besides rosenstein. >> we have three minutes. i want to give you each a minute. what is the most important thing to happen next? del? >> that's a really tough question. everything changes day to day in the story. and the nunes memo was hyped up by both sides as this being a nuclear bomb when it drops on washington. when it came out it was either a nothing burger, or as eli wrote, sit not watergate and not a nothing burger. it is is in between. >> a material fact was omitted that got an american citizen surveilled to the fourth amendment that concerns me greatly. >> what's next, i don't know. i think at the ju

dag sally yates was fired. acting yates dana boente is not there any longer in that role. and rod rosenstein, the deputy attorney general right now. a man that donald trump has said to refer to as the democrat from baltimore, even though he is a republican, a man that donald trump appointed to that role. most importantly, though, a man that donald trump is not happy with because he is overseeing, this is according to reporting, overseeing the russia investigation. is it clear that this is intended to try and cut down rod rosenstein? >> it's interesting because in devin nunes' own statement in -- accompanying the release of this memo today, he says this whole process is an important part of making reforms to the fisa process. as you and i discussed yesterday, the house just approved and the president has since signed a reauthorization of the fisa program. it did make some changes but if this was such an important issue, if the pretext on the -- if nunes is saying this is an important part of making reforms to the fisa process, it probably should have been released earlier s

. >> sharday yates is about to see her mother for the first time in video we found in the nbc 10 archives. >> i love my baby. when i was pregnant, my baby was my second chance to start over. >> that's sharday in her mother's arms. she was 5 months old then. her mother was about the age sharday is now when she'll see her mother for the first time. >> oh, my god. >> the mother she never knew tonight on nbc 10 news at 11:00. >>> now your nbc 10 first alert weather. >> we've had some great weather over the last couple of days, but we're ending the week with a pretty big ocean storm here. the flerirst alert for the enti area. 5:00 a.m. friday to saturday morning. it's got multiple features to this storm. the wind may be the biggest and most important and the most dangerous in this particular case. 50 to 60-mile-an-hour gusts. also coastal flooding threat. localized flooding. a lot going on with this storm. it's not just going to zip through like all the rest of the ones have done this winter. downed trees and powerlines possible with this. coastal roads flooded at times of high tide. we have a

whenever rachel yates goes down to the beach in penn's ounce where she used to play as a child she bringsher back it. upsets me because i think it's a symptom of where our society is kind of you know kind of got off track and it's a bit it's a symptom of a lot of different things or things like community the way that we buy things the way that we live our lives. so rachel has declared war on plastic on trash and what she calls the in different society she's shaken up our home town asking shops to get rid of disposable plastic bags and encouraging the businesses are responding replacing plastic straws with paper ones plastic cutlery with wood. and plastic cups with biodegradable ones there's real momentum here a resistance and rachel calls it thirteen shops have signed up so far for a certificate that proudly proclaims their plastic free press. rachel makes the rounds of local businesses this wine shop wants to join in first it has to pass the checklist with no easy plastics. sternness no campaign. is their plastic bottles in the shop anywhere the water bottle. check the wine shop can say

that james comey was wrong and made a poor judgment but it was really learn how to lynch and sally yates who could have done something and but for their decision to not order him not to send his letter and they could have on october twenty seventh as i reported in my book they made a decision not to order him because they were worried about his grandstanding if they did and they thought hillary will win anyway what a sad understandable but said choice that gave us donald trump when they didn't order him not to send the letter you suggested that there was such overconfidence that deep thought you could win anyway right so somebody very close to the dog o'shea sions on the day he was considering writing that letter. has told me and i've reported on many sides of this including senior people in the intelligence community that james komi wanted to protect his political rights in the congress and decided to send that letter even though the letter said we don't know anything we don't have any facts he specifically said that in his letter he wrote it anyway because he said there is no way that

and sally yates. >> clearly the targets are there. the next bull's eye is of course, mr. rosenstein. i also thought the language was kind of hm, mischievous. they say the document, the steele document, the dossier, is written ultimately for hillary clinton. in other words, not previously was he working for her, but he's ultimately working for her. in other words, in a continuing way, this document and the work being done by steele for the fbi, was in fact for hillary. look at the way he wrote it. he said the application does not mention steele was ultimately working on behalf of and paid by the dnc ultimately. in other words, they are continuing to be the parents of this whole investigation. it just makes it look scurrilous. i think it's a political document. i think that i have great questions whether it was actually a document that you could argue is even sourced from the legislative branch. i am very suspicious that this is a staff written by somebody who is very much involved with the trump people, hangs out with them, who engineered that little ride down there last m

the rule of law is what difference yates the united states from much of the other banana republics in the world. this is a breakdown in the rule of law. >> that's right, david. my hope is we'll be able to get past the statement nancy pelosi and other democrats put out and work object this in a bipartisan way. all americans should be concerned about a government that would take a political opposition research document and use that as a basis to spy on american citizens. david: on fox news channel bret baier was talking to in nunes who suggested that nobody in the committee actually saw the fisa applications. how did you then discover the trump dossier played such a key role in getting that warrant? >> the intelligence committee, judiciary and oversight committees have been conducting sworn depositions. the statement about the dossier forming the fundamental basis for the fisa application came from the testimony of andrew mccabe, the deputy director of the fbi who abruptly resigned days ago. mccabe said in his deposition that without the dossier there never would have been a basis to sp
