was that he was kidnapped by stalin's goons. he mind you was serving the kgb but when stalin needed at the end of his life advanced paranoid, needed to get rid of his perceived rivals,he decided to use this american who knew all the communist big shots in the soviet empire, and because they were all working for the same cause, he had him kidnapped from his hotel in prague, and drugged and then tortured into confessing that he was not kgb as he was, but cia. and that all his comrades who stalin wanted to liquidate were also cia. so in one blow stalin was able to execute all of these people through the confession of this one american. >> clearly i mean that was an act of what, how would you describe what it was for noel field? >> well, he was. >> he had no choice or he believed or-- he was a true believer as the title says. he became such a passionate servant of this terrible destructive ideology and had made so many ak sacrifices, he had given up a lucrative promising career as a diplomat in the state department. he betrayed his country. and his own family didn't know that he was an

russia with the kgb, they've accused kislyak of being a kgb agent or possibly a co-optee. which is very important i don't know that, but the c.i.a. would. the fbi would. that needs to be looked into. for me, for any, in any counterintelligence investigation, what you need to look at is the money. is anybody getting paid. is anybody getting business favors. carter page, manafort has been accused of taking money. in the ukraine, and even people the accusation is circling washington right now as we speak, that trump ultimately borrowed m eed money to support businesses from russia. maybe came through deutsche bank or somewhere else. to get to properly investigate this you have to take it out of the administration select committee or special prosecutor. this is not a partisan you know, view of it. you just have to. you have to get somebody who is neutral to take a look at this. at the end of the day, there may be absolutely nothing there but for a piece of mind in this country, we have to look into it, and somebody we trust. >> to reiterate the point you made, at this point there's no
