for instance, the fbi, and he -- you actually saw a little of too.after 9/11, the fbi, and hoover in particular, really held the cia in contempt, the cia and the nsa, because he didn't believe their budgets should be secret. he didn't believe there was enough transparency in what it was the cia was doing. and they found the fbi was a much more law-bound, in part because it was a law enforcement as well as an intelligence agency. but there were lots of battles between different intelligence agencies structured differently, about who is really the nefarious actor, how much accountability there really is, what levels of secrecy are operating, and really pretty different and subtle divisions of how that played out. >> yes, ma'am? you are, aswho well. >> i am a doctoral candidate at the university of kansas. my question about the analytical category, i think of president nixon, and for him, he had a true belief about the establishment deep state, and that influenced how he thought about policy, and i think in a way, we need to give credence to this idea because of the effect that it has,

he cares about covering up to protect the fbi. how do i know that? he has defied lawful subpoenas issued by congress and has fought the declassification of critical documents to expose the truthh behind the witchhunt. it is a shame that christopher ray can't be - - cannot be more honest and forthcoming to the american people. they deserve the truth of accountability and a democracy is fundamental. >> john clapper and john brennan these are two names that appear throughout the book. we have one - - of all had to read and watch their roles. >> is that a livewire? >> it is possible and that's why it's very significant and important that william bars several months ago launched an official department of justice investigation appointing us attorney from connecticut to head it up he is very well versed in corruption he has prosecuted and put behind bars people who have beenng engaged in lawless acts in those agencies. and as i write in the book inventing a lie is ez's breading it is easier but uncovering the truth istrut hard because it has its enemies and

we need really important reforms to put the fbi in check. i will concede even if they're all put in place it wouldn't instantaneiousl solve the problem. it is a long struggle but the biggest is to reign in the fbi investigative powers and have reason to suspect which doesn't sound that radical but it actually is. thank you very much for listening to my a presentation and watching on c-span2 and i hop everybody takes the report or gets it online, pdf or hard copy. >> thanks, chip. those of you who know french may know surveillance actually comes from from to watch from above. you cannot get more watch e-from above than with satellites the orbital entities that are increasingly tracking us and in collaboration with the much closer tracking devices we keep in our pockets. the combination of that to monitoring from close up and above is the topic of a fantastic paper authored by three authors including mckenna who is here with us, computational and data sciences is recommended to everyone and it is an analysis of the intersection ♪ of these tw

the fbi was unable to verify. they tried mightily but you can't verify something that doesn't exist, that is simply a lie but part a of the plan was to leak it to the media and they assumed the media would run crazy with this story, it would damage trump politically and ensure hillary clinton's election in november of 2016 and while it is true that many members of the media did pick up on the story it didn't quite gain traction and resonate with american voters and trump was elected but the insurance policy was plan b. the insurance policy famous from the peter stzrok lisa page text message we have an insurance policy, the insurance policy was the fbi's investigation donald trump won we would kick it into overdrive and really go after him and make our investigation of him, potential or alleged russian asset public. and they did. in fact they did it in january of 2017 before he was even sworn into office. comey, clapper, brennan, concocted a plan to ambush trump at trump tower, selectively give him information abou

back in washington dc the impact of ruby ridge was still being felt by the fbi. employees were undergoing an investigation in 1986. this was over allegations of covering up documents related to the standoff. >> it was obvious early on documents had been destroyed and there was an internal justice department investigation that raised a lot of questions about missing evidence. >> suspicions of an fbi cover-up behind closed doors were soon confirmed and the chief of the bureau's violent crime unit admitted to destroying an internal report that criticized the fbi's actions during ruby ridge. he was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison. one year later fbi sniper was charged in idaho with involuntary months later in the death of vicki weaver. however, after the case made its way through appeals court a new prosecutor dropped the charge. >> county prosecutor decided so much time has gone by the state will probably not be able to prove its case. >> 1998 randy and sarah decided to release their own narrative of the events. >> i began to travel with my dad for book sig

in fact that is not something that the fbi director should be doing. part of the, prior ig report by the inspector general of the justice department was blaming the fbi for many of its personnel, not just comey, but many of it is personnel violating standard policy and protocols of the fbi by leaking widespread leaking of confidential information related to law enforcement investigations. this is the kind of thing that shakes the confidence of the public in the objectivity of the fbi. if james comey actually was guilty of doing, this is a very serious violation. it is something that needs to be looked at by the current attorney general, because they need to investigate it, and once again, take a look at, should he or should he not be prosecuted for this? liz: let me back up. so this is really about, you know, we have two things happening. we have the president being, going through an impeachment trial, talking about, to ukraine about the bidens, right? saying help us out, looking into what is going on with the bidens, also what happened with -- we get

this was basically fbi, senior fbi officials trampling all over the constitution and people's civil liberties. this is about the fbi pull supporting documentation to spy on an american. so this is outrageous that this is all he has to say. i mean, it has to be more than that. and i certainly hope, john huber, sean, his entire investigation was a sham. it was feckless, he didn't interview anyone as greg stated and as tom discovered, there is a two-tiered justice system and something has to be done. these people tried to unseat a duly elected president. they were sending disinformation out on people. they were destroying people's lives. and attorney general michael flynn are now facing a sentencing date while all of these people who are known layers walking around free, getting book deals and making a lot of money. so yes, something has to change, and i hope it does. >> sean: great work to all of you, by the way. you all played a big part in getting us here. the vindication and the ig report was massive. getting it right now is going to be another heavy lift for everybody. i really want to furt

both major party candidates were under fbi investigation. maybe that means there were two squirrely candidates. but maybe that means the fbi was way too politicized. >> it's clear they had quite different goals in the case of hillary clinton. their effort was to cover up or at least bury to exonerate -- exoneration. there is that word again. so many people are worried about when it came to the special counsel report. but whether it is to cover up for hillary clinton or exonerate, the latin derivative is always more gentle. or go after a president for 3 1/2 years as cad and president. it's really obscene what we are witnessing here and the fact they succeeded from crossfire hurricane to now in delaying account built for outright -- accountability for outright crimes. no one sensible or rational would doubt these are anything other than crimes committed by officials of the fbi. >> every step of the way, republicans who senses or knew a little bit about what mapped at the fbi, we have given devin nunes credit for finding out a little bit about

the fbi says the suspect intentionally shot one of the phones before he was killed. right now they have no evidence that any of the trainees knew about the plot beforehand. pierre thomas, abc news, washington. >> thank you, pierre. >>> in iran there have been three days of anti-government protests and now officials are warning protesters to stop. video appears to show gunshot injuries and police using tear gas. police deny firing upon protesters in tehran. the protests began when the government admitted it had shot down a ukrainian passenger jet by mistake, killing all people aboard. >>> house speaker nancy pelosi could send the articles of impeachment to the senate as soon as today. she's set to meet with house democrats behind closed doors to discuss which lawmakers would prosecute the case. over in the senate, republicans say they're not interested in an outright dismissal of charges as president trump has suggested. republican senator susan collins is leading the call for a vote to hear from witnesses. >>> the ukrainian gas company that once employed joe biden's

the fbi made arrests this time. three of the arrests we're told of white supremacists were people who definitely had an intent to travel and attack that richmond rally. these arrests happened prior to this event. thank goodness officials play have prevented an attack. in the past we talked about the gaps and law that make it difficult to apprehends someone who may have nefarious intention but haven't taken action. what's that threshold for making these arrests? >> it's a very fine line and the difference between domestic terrorism and international terrorism and other threat s there are first amendment issues at play as well. the fbi can't investigate people for expressing their views. some people hold what some would consider disgusting views but that's not illegal. if that will cause someone to act with violence in purr suts of those goals then we expect the fbi and federal law enforcement to try to intradict those threats. there's no domestic terrorism law. officials often have to look to other charges. the indiv

jfk used the irs and the fbi. lbj, same thing with the cia. go down the list. all these great democrats. woodrow wilson. abuse of power. abuse of power. it's whatever they think it is. not once have they explained the standard for abuse of power. obstructing congress. you don't obstruct congress. separation of powers. that's not obstructing congress. here's my question. where's the smoking gun? all of this that's been going on day in and day out, the testimony. where is the witness under penalty of perjury who said the president of the united states committed treason, bribery, or other misdemeanors question what the president of the united states quid pro quo. the president of the united states committed a crime. they said the opposite and they called all the witnesses over there in the house of representatives. where's the smoking gun docume document? all but talk about no documents. they had hundreds of thousands of pages of documents. that incriminate's the president of the united states. not one. that's why they are spewing for 24 hours in three days. now,

ask you what is taking place at the fbi investigation. you have done incredible amount of work in terms of exposing the wrongdoing in 2016 and possibly early 2015 actually. we know now that general michael flynn is going to be reversing his plea. >> yeah. maria: sidney powell says his lawyer says prosecutors knew they pressed him to lie. listen sound bite of jim comey on another network, talking about the way he decided to send a few fbi agents over to the white house to question general michael flynn. >> i thought it is early enough. let's just send a couple guys over. we place ad call to flynn. hey, we're sending a couple guys over. hope you will talk to them. he said sure. nobody else was there. they interviewed him in a conference room in the white house situation room and he lied to them. >> yeah. maria: sidney powell says this is strong inference that the prosecutors themselves conspired to cause mr. flynn to make false statements. basically encouraging him not to have a lawyer present. we'll send a few guys over as if it is a casua
