not only did they fraudulently create evidence altering emails from the cia to the fbi, this is the fbi, committing a felony of creating fake evidence, does the fbi asked the cia was carter page working with you in helping the cia, the cia said yes and the fbi lawyer fraudulently altered that emailer and turned yes into no. if anyone else did that in any court in america, they would be put in jail for a long time for fraud. know that this was not authorized. i think senator kennedy is right. a lot of people want to blame this on some low-level lawyer nine levels down. here's the problem. we know that this went quite literally all the way to the top. january 5, 2017, after the presidential election. after the whole world is shock that hillary clinton didn't win and oh my goodness donald trump is getting ready to be president. 5, at then january end of a presidential term, people are packing up getting ready to leave. what are they doing in this white house? january 5, barack obama, joe biden what are they talking about? directed at the incoming national security advisor. what do we know

declassified fbi documents show that the fbi james comey did not have a case against flynn as of late 2016 in the fbi case agent was going to drop it because he did not have derogatory information about the trump russia probe and then peter strzok and others conspired to try to catch flynn in a perjury trap and when flynn was not going to get a g memorandum morning, they talked about that and they basically talked about essentially -- flynn did not have a lawyer present in the fbi interview, there was a lot of irregularities in kerri, final words, joe biden, chief of staff unmask the name of flynn and then got to flynn's phone call with the russian ambassador leaked to the washington post likely by for me james clapper told the washington post reporter take the kill shot on flynn, to your report about irregularity, that seems like a long laundry list, yourur reaction? >> there is a long laundry list, it would be wonderful obviously to instruct the lower court to grant motion to dismiss but if they go forward or allow judge so livid to hold the hearing in july, we hope the judge to liv

declassified fbi notes and documents show that the fbi knew it did not have a case against flynn as of late 2016 and the fbi case agent was going to drop it because it didn't have any derogatory information about the trump-russia probe. and then peter strzok and others conspired to try to catch flynn in a perjury trap, you know, lying to fbi officials. flynn was not going to get a miranda warning, and they basically -- flynn did not have a lawyer present in this fbi interview. so there was a lot of of irregularities there. and joe biden unmasked the name of flynn and then got to flynn's phone call with the russian ambassador leaked to the washington post likely by former dni jake clamber told the reporter, quote -- clapper. take the kill shot here. that seems like a long laundry list there. your reaction. >> yeah, there is a long laundry list. and so, you know, it would be wonderful, obviously, if appellate court instructs the lower court to grant the motion to dismiss, but if they go forward -- or bailout to, judge sullivan holds a hear anything mid july, we hope he will recognize

they were senior officials of the fbi. it, pleasetand theyct me if i am wrong, were deep in this hurricane and muelllar investigation -- er investigation. they were decision-makers. and you made these emails public, which i appreciate. but what we are talking about routine.ot a this was an investigation of the president of the united states of america. investigationhe of a presidential campaign. here is what i have never understood. public,se emails became and you knew about them, when you learned about them, you did the right thing. you made them public. i presume you made them available to mr. mueller. mr. strauch and ms. page were removed from the mueller investigation. nobody gets fired around here. it is either to divorce spouse then fire somebody. why didn't you or some other senior official at the department of justice or the director of the fbi or some other senior at the fbi say, , stop ainute, stop second. we are investigating a president and a presidential campaign. i'm going to ask some more questions. maybe i

this is the fbi committing a felony of creatingti fake evidence because the fbi asked the cia was carter page working with you and helping the cia? the cia said yes and the fbi lawyer fraudulently alteredma that e-mailo. and turned yes and to know. if anyone else had done that in any court in america they would be put in jail for a long time for fraud. we alsoo know this was not authorize i think senator kennedy is right. there are a lot of people who want to blame this on some low level lawyer nine levels down. here is the problem. we know this went quite literally all the way to the top. january 5, 2017. just after the presidential election. it was after the whole world is shocked that hillary clinton did not win and donald trump is getting to bes president. now normally on january 5, at the end of a presidential term people are packing up and getting ready to leave. but what are they doing in this white house on january 5 oval office meeting? barack obama, joe biden, what are they talking about? surveillance directed at the incoming national security advisor. what do we know also? sal

as the moral fbi. i have records of my great grandfather who was a reverent, who had this marginalia. i am grappling with this in my own writing and thinking about the news cycle and where you come down on what we may credibly infer on a moral fbi, about what the character of the organization might be and what it tells us about the nature of state surveillance and what to do with these kinds of claims, when we have a bundle of documentation that is talking about the spiritual life and morality on one hand, but we also know the fbi is trying to clearly engage in preemptive strikes against black radicals and the likes. we are we supposed to balance your findings with what these historians are comfortable speculating? >> i guess we will go backwards. thank you for raising that. i appreciate the comments that i read that you made about this as well. i have to say that i was disappointed in the way that the historian, who i count as a colleague, i was disappointed in the way he framed his findings. if you d

what's the biggest threat you see is fbi? >> the biggest terrorist threat in the u.s., in the homeland is what we would call homegrown violent extremists. these are people who are lone actors typically, motivated by a variety of different ideologies, some jihadists, some others who go very quickly from radicalization to attack, typically radicalized online and going after soft targets, schools, shopping malls. easy to hit targets and using easily accessible weapons and those kinds of terrorists are much harder to detect and prevent in many ways. >> bret: what's the morale here at the fbi? >> i think the morale in the fbi is quite good, our attrition rate is down to 0.4%. there are not a lot of organizations out there, public or private, that can say that. >> bret: the investigation into the pfizer abuse. there was false information provided to the fisa court. bogus information about this from a rival presidential, the steele dossier, one of your top attorneys fabricated a to suggest carter page was a secret russian asset. the

that is the training center for the fbi. you went there not in the 1930's or 1940's or 1950's, but a decade ago. it was almost like you were there when j edgar hoover was in charge. it is extraordinary, the kind of rancor you got. wasy: what was crazy to me i had come for the cia, where i had no issues whatsoever between the genders at all, and i think i was almost naive that the fbi would be the same way. they are all part of kind of the same community, and it could not have been more not like that. vince: you mentioned, i had a hard time grasping it until you used a phrase that made total sense to me. you said it was junior high all over again. it was cliques, it was people backstabbing each other. it was not you dealing with a jealous potential coworker. the instructors themselves were pushing this narrative that you should not be there. tracy: i think the narrative all started on my first day at the academy. i don't know if you still do this, but you are kind of in a theater-ish type of room. everyone stands up and says

at the fbi, kind of. what was crazy for me as i had come from the cia, where i had no issues whatsoever between the genders at all and i think i was always naive that the fbi would be the same way. they are all part of kind of the same community and it could not have been more not like that. vince: i had a hard time grasping it until you used a phrase that made total sense to me. you said it was junior high all over again. it was cliques, people back each stabbing each other. it was you dealing with a jealous potential coworker. the instructors themselves were pushing this narrative that you should not be there. tracy: i think the narrative all started on my first day at the academy. i don't know if you still do this, but you are kind of in a theater-ish type of room. everyone stands up and says what they used to do and introduce themselves. i stood up and everyone started rolling their eyes and calling me a liar, that i never had worked at the cia. that was what was so shocking to me. you had done my bac

there are so many books that are saying rah rah, the fbi, and your experiences at fbi weren't all that great, certainly your training, which, you know, we're not very far from quantico, virginia, the mythical place, the hrt, and bau, and the marine corps, but that's the training center for the fbi, you went there not in the 1930s or 40s or 50s, but a decade ago. tgs almost like you were there when jay edgar hoover was in charge. it's extraordinary, the kind of ran kor you got at the fbi. >> i had come from the cia where i had no issues between the genders. and i think i was almost naive that the fbi would be the same way. they're all part of the same community, and it could not have been more not like that. you used a phrase that made total sense to me. it was junior high all over again, clicks, people back stabbing and the teachers were the ring leaders of all of this. it wasn't just you dealing with a jealous potential coworker, the instructors themselves were pushing this narrative that you shouldn't be there. >> i think the narrative all started on my very first day at the academy.

his own sources were telling the fbi, he is not accurate. and basically, it was treated at internet rumor in the the bib if fbi. steele's own sources said this was hearsay over beers, take it as a grain of salt. a fisa court is supposed to be used to go after terrorist. >> that's right. elizabeth: this secret court was used and misled by the obama administration to go after the trump campaign and the team there. your final word on that? >> fbi ignored exculpatory information about an american citizen. in fact manipulated and doctored evidence against carter page. they claim he was not a source to the ci. when in fact he was when they went to the court. these are lies built upon lies, designed to go after the civil liberties of american citizens. we need answers and you think we need indictments. >> vince coglianese, come back soon. thanks for coming on. vince coglianese of "the daily caller." >> thank you. elizabeth: we're staying on the story, reports coming in, at least, 70, seven, zero, covid-19 testing sites destroyed in the protests. go

yet despite the statement from the held of for fbi -- from the head of the fbi and agents in the field with the fbi including strzok the, this moved ahead as a criminal investigation. a national security investigation with zero evidence and, in fact, the avowals of the head of the fbi and fbi agents that there was no issue here. what could possibly have overridden that other than presidential power? >> presidential power and andrew mccabe and then the special counsel operation which, frankly, i have long thought was all part of the insurance policy that general flynn was the key to. because if you'll recall on august 15th, that's when strzok and page texted each other about the insurance policy they discussed in mccabe's office in the event trump won. then august 16 is when they opened the case on flynn, and august 17 is when they send agent pientka into the presidential briefing to spy on general flynn, assess husband mannerisms, collect information as much as possible for that two hour briefing. and he did that according to the i'm sorry g. report for the very purpose of having that

the fbi lawyer who authored the -- altered the email. after the election said, "viva la resistance." this is the fbi lawyer in charge of the mueller investigation. finally, on august 8, 2016, page says to struck he will become president, right? struck -- "no, no he won't. we will stop him." we are going to get to the bottom of this. we did a lot together when it came to russian interference in our election. we had hearings. the modus operandi of russia and other autocracies undermining democracy throughout the world. russian interference in the election. extremist content and disinformation online from october 2017. protecting our elections and virtual currencies as avenues for foreign interference, june, 2018. cyber threats against our national critical infrastructure, august, 2018. we have looked at russia's role in the election. now we will look at the mueller investigation. and we are going to look hard. and we are going to see if what mr. rosenstein said at the start of this hearing comes true. that if somebody corrupts the process,

the loser today is the fbi under james comey. a lot of very unflattering information was highlighted again and it was essentially andrew mccabe. he may not have lied to me but he certainly was not candid. rod rosenstein made a very important point, not the prosecutor's job to disparage individuals. it will either prosecute bring charges or you don't. my friends, the entire mueller report is an extravagant exercise and disparagement. the report has been analyzed from the perspective of, all he needed to do was say here is why i brought charges and here's why i did not. instead, the 400 pages go on and on to frankly embarrassed the president of the united states, and i haven't heard that question asked about the mueller report itself and i think it needs to be asked and answered. >> ed: we have just over a minute before we have to get a break, and at one point there was russian propaganda. it was interesting to me that he deferred to john durham and said frankly i've been out of office for a while and i really don't know what john

fbi. my secret life taking down some of the world's most notorious terrorists. she sits down on her time as a cia special operations officer in the aftermath of of the september 11 terrorist attacks. she also discusses her decision to leave the cia to become an fbi special agent, focusing on chinese counterintelligence. the international spy museum recorded this event in february. >> good evening everyone and thank you for coming out on this gloomy washington, d.c. evening, to the international spy museum. i am the executive director of the international spy museum. i am excited to introduce this program with former c.i.a. officer's officer, fbi special agent, now author, tracy walder. tracy joined the cia straight out of college and served as a staff operations officer the counterterrorism center, where she was responsible for tracking down terrorists and weapons of mass destruction. she went on to become an fbi special agent at the l.a. field office, where she specialized in chinese coun

the fbi doesn't have many more excuses. joining us tonight is tom fitton, the president of judicial watch. and, tom, i want to begin by asking you for your reaction to the forced resignation. >> well, it's a little bit of accountability. he was involved, had signed one of the fraudulent fisa warrants targeting president trump through carter page, of course, and reportedly he was part of the cabal in the fbi that was objecting to releasing the smoking gun information to the flynn defense team showing the fbi and justice department led initially by president obama, it's clear, framed him. look, you know, the report is that he was fired by doj, not by mr. wray. so this is a dramatic show of no confidence in the directorship of the current fbi e director, mr. wray. lou: yeah. and he is at the very least a member in horrible standing, in point of fact, of the horrible group that some refer to as the cabal led by or at least amongst its top representatives, none other than james comey, the director of the fbi. it is, as you say,

so than the fbi. that's a really great question. i don't know that i've met anyone outside of my family that had it. not a lot of you know. not a lot know, hypotonia is when you were born with very under developed muscle tone. i don't talk about it a lot. i think when people see me, they don't think that there is any issue. so i didn't walk until i was about 3-and-a-half maybe, which is very late. and i didn't hold my head up until i was about a year-and-a-half. and so, i don't need to age myself, but i was born in the '70s. so we didn't have a lot of information about these things and the interesting thing is doctors actually still don't know a lot about hypotonya today, which is so weird, you would think 40 years later, we would have moved past this. so for me, my biggest issue with fact switch mist muscle. i don't know if you know fast twitch and slow twitch. so i can run really fast really long distance. that's never been a problem for me. but at the fbi, like with me barely about a tenth of a mil

it worked out well for the fbi. not so well for tracy. why did you end up quitting the fbi? tracy: i do not want to say in full. you'll have to read my book to find out what my ffa said to me that ultimately -- to sort of throw me over the edge. i was not going to leave at that point. i was living at home at the time because it was close to where i was and saving money. i came home and told my dad. my parents are great parents. we are not going to fight your fight for you. you handle it. i told my dad. to say that he lost it would be an understatement. i think that moment was when i knew i cannot stay here. the biggest regret i have personally -- and it was funny. i was writing the book. i was writing a chapter about how i had so much regret but -- that i did not file complaints and do more. you did. i think i had completely blocked out everything that had happened. i wish i would have pursued it harder. vince: for all the great work you did at cia and all the excellent work you did in fbi, after leaving you went to what you were designed to do all along, which is be a teach

>> fbi! open the door! >> stone had been arrested in connection with robert mueller's probe and to whether anyone with the trump campaign conspired with the russians who attempted to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. the special counsel alleged that stone was a conduit between the trump campaign and wikileaks which released russian hacked emails from the democratic national committee, involving hillary clinton. in june of this year, through the freedom of information act, cnn obtained a less redacted version of the report noting that former trump campaign chair paul manafort, former deputy chair rick gates, and former trump attorney michael cohen, all told investigators that in july 2016, roger stone told donald trump and others that wikileaks founder julian assange told him that the website would soon begin publishing damaging documents. >> that was a long time trump ally faces criminal charges, prosecutors accuse roger stone of lying to protect the president. >> roger stone and d

it worked out well for the fbi. not so well for tracy. why did you end up quitting the fbi? tracy: i do not want to say in full. you'll have to read my book to ffa said to mey to sort oftely -- throw me over the edge. i was not going to leave at that point. i was living at home at the time because it was close to where i was and saving money. i came home and told my dad. my parents are great parents. we are not going to fight your fight for you. you handle it. i told my dad. besay that he lost it would an understatement. i think that moment was when i knew i cannot stay here. the biggest regret i have personally -- and it was funny. i was writing the book. i was writing a chapter about how i had so much regret but -- that i did not file complaints and do more. you did. i think i had complete legal lockout everything that had happened -- completely blocked out everything that had happened. i wish i would have pursued it harder. vince: for all the great work you did at cia and all the excellent work you did in fbi, after leaving you went to what you design -- were designed to

in essence he said he relied on the fbi. well the fbi lied to him then. they didn't tell him the truth. they didn't give him the facts. they didn't give him the exculpatory information as required. for him to say, politely, you take accountability, somebody should be going to jail for this. you can't spy on another political campaign by improperly using police powers. i think it is just, it is stunning that that person in that role would say those things. i didn't read it. i didn't have the information. i wouldn't do it again. i'm accountable but the fbi lied to me. somebody has actually got to be held accountable. i think we'll get that with john durham and attorney general barr. elizabeth: you know, sir, you look at the body of evidence, it feels like they were ready to launch on the trump campaign even before the democrats emails were hacked. it feels like they were geared up and ready to go. the beginning of the probe was weak. last month conservative watchdog group "judicial watch" got the unredacted original fbi electronic communication that launche

through the fbi, u.s. attorney's offices, component field offices, and state and local enforcement, we are receiving real-time intelligence and we have deployed resources to quell outbreaks of violence in several places. i urge governors and mayors and other state and local leaders to work closely with the national guard and with us. the federal government has thus far made 51 arrests for federal crimes in connection with the violent rioting. we will continue to investigate, to make arrests, and prosecute where warranted. when i was attorney general in 1992, riots broke out in los angeles following the acquittal by the state of police officers accused of beating rodney king. ultimately, the department of justice, at my direction, filed federal civil rates charge against his officers. as president bush assured the nation at that time, "the violence will end, justice will be served, hope will return." the same is true today. the rule of law will prevail. thank you. now i would like to introduce my colleague,

she went on to become an fbi special agent at the l.a. field office where she specialized in chinese counterintelligence operations. tracy lives with her husband and four and a half-year-old daughter in dallas, texas. this evening tracy will discuss her memoire, the unexpected spy, from the cia to the fbi. my secret life taking down some of the world's most notorious terrorists. tracy will be interviewed by our very own historian and curator, dr. vince houghton. after their discussion they will open the floor to audience questions and answers. everyone will have an opportunity to ask their questions this evening. we are also going to ask that if you're trapped in the middle of a row, please put your hand up and we will ensure that you have a mic to answer your questions, but there will be two mics on each side of the auditorium that you can use to answer your question. again, if you can't get out, just stay where you are at, raise your hand and we will send a mic to you. one other administration notice, if you have a cellphone, anyone hav

the fbi's mission is to protect the american people and uphold the constitution. that mission is dual and simultaneous. it is not contradictory. in engaging with our communities during these protests, we in law enforcement must balance the safety and security of our communities with our citizens' rights.tutional violence,days, the destruction of property, threats to life that we have seen in some parts of the country jeopardizes the rights and safety of all citizens, including peaceful demonstrators. and it has to stop. we are seeing people who are exploiting the situation to pursue violent extremist agendas. oute individuals have set peoplediscord and a rather than pursue the righteous pursuit of righteous -- pursuit of justice. our community and religious leaders, elected officials, law enforcement, and citizens alike. many have suffered from the violence instigated to these radicals and extremists, including members of our own law enforcement family. officers killed or gravely injured while just doing their jobs, fulfilling their duty to the public by trying to

in the fbi was ready. within days, all 56 till offices began working a wide range of investigations related to covid-19 fraud schemes. as we begin our investigations, we saw a number of different criminal schemes. we saw subjects courting personal protective equipment ppe, and attempting to sell it an exorbitant isis. we also saw people selling counterfeit ppe. the fbi works closely with the department of justice and a nut other law enforcement partners to conduct investigations. the cares act was designed to provide economic assistance to families, american workers and small businesses. however, individual still seek to steal money from the people it was designed help. we began to see fraud towards their efforts exporting the various programs to relieve the economic effects of covid-19. to effectively target the threats, the fbi informed a payroll protection program by working group and coordination with the department of justice. a small distance the administration of inspector general. through this effo

i work with the fbi and fbi unaccustomed border patrol, then the materials tested. and they failed and do intend to continue to investigate and importation of fraudulent materials. i think you can play to see additional cases coming into the future. >> $3 trillion on the table and then watched the cockroaches come in. you've identified six prosecutions. the ppe act so far. fourmac million loans have been issued so far. you just getting started. it strikes me that unless you big powerful statement early on, some of the adolescent efforts being made to quantify for ppe loans, are just going to continue apace. >> i will address the ppe. so with that program, there are a number of ways that we have referral cases and potential prosecute. if you will tell you that we have field offices around the country in the complaint is walk in saying that that they are aware with wrongfu second sourct we share among federal agencies predict acting kid in the more specifics on that's pretty. >> you collected and get your least is important but not critical to answering my questions.

and, of course, there's never been ancillary evidence to back that up at the fbi. well, it turns out there are july andth, 2016 -- 13th handwritten note that show that the agent handling christopher steele was telling that supervisor three months before the crisis that they knew hillary clinton was connected to the research project christopher steele was doing. and there's a series of e-mails where a confidential human informant, hey, those people you're dealing with, fusion gps, christopher steele? they're connected to the democratic national committee. so it appears that christopher steele was telling the truth, and the fbi just forgot to look for these records. it's going to be overwhelmingly clear by this summer that the fbi knew this was a hillary/dnc project, and they intentionally kept it from the fisa court. lou: and christopher wray, the current director of the fbi, has not exactly been candid k has he -- has he, about the extent of what they knew at various pointses and who knew it within fbi. >> i've talked to a few senators who are frustrated that wray'
