none of those guardrails helped, and it was the cia raising concerns. what kinds of contexts and questions did the cia have about jared kushner? >> we don't have full visibility into that. that is something we continue to report on. but whatever concerns the cia had, they were deep and not to be dismissed. the office of security at the agency is not an agency -- is not an office to be trifled with. and they weren't going to be overruled and they stood their ground. so whatever they thought -- whatever they thought the problem was to give jared tssci, they weren't going to give ground on it and they made that clear and they made that clear to the white house. so that in itself is extraordinary. >> ron klain, i don't know the people who have not been vetted understand the significance of what adam goldman just detailed. it is not standard for the cia to be the agency that stands in the way of any staffer in the government getting a clearance. but the problems for -- for the problems to have been ignored and the agency a man known to text with other world

but what he never got because the cia ultimately adjudicates the sci level, cia said no, we're not giving to him. so even to this day as he goes around the middle east and the kingdom of saudi arabia, he does not have access to intelligence, and he does not have access to the same information that others in our government have. i think that is a huge disadvantage. >> it is interesting you're saying that the top slot, the president can't order the cia to give him that clearance as well? >> i think that he can, but he according to the reporting did not. and i think that the big mystery here is what was in jared kushner's background investigation that caused the professionals at the fooin and el h. fbi and elsewhere to say no, he should not be entitled to classified information. and once the president was going down that road, why did the cia dig in so hard. and by the way, credit goes to michael pompeo at the time who was director of the cia for holding firm on that decision. that was probably a very sparky conversation. >> speculation is that it is financial. on these security clearance in

so if you turn on cnn on msnbc, it was state tv, it was cia tv. three weeks ago, tucker, john brennan was on msnbc and he said that he believes robert mueller will indict members of the trump family either before or after march 15 because he's too noble to use the ides of march for having conspired with russia. they kept all of this off the air and turned in to the people that are supposed to be scrutinizing. you have government officials that spent their whole careers in the pentagon and the cia. they're disinformation agents that work at cnn and msnbc shaping what the new is. that's why these channels turned into disinformation campaigns. those are the people that they hired. the people that are supposed to be serving as watch dogs over the neocons, the people that lied the country to war. they got rewarded by becoming the stewards of these networks and lied to millions of people for three years around huge amount of accountability is needed. >> tucker: so last minute that we have, make me feel better. i'm thinks there's no repercussions and thi

what did the cia say? i think those are the fact gathering that need to happen and then we can draw the conclusions that we need to do. there will be plenty of things swirling around and a lot of guesses, and my job is to get to the bottom of it. that's exactly what chairman schiff is going to do. we have other oversight bodies and i think that's the next step here. >> ken, this sticks out to me. you personally reported that this is not the only time that somebody got top-secret clearance despite being flagged as unfavorable. are you ready for this? it didn't happen one, it didn't happen twice, it happened 30 times. 3-0. do we know anything about the other 29? and because i have no expertise in this, how common is that? to me, 30 sounds huge. >> stephanie, our sources told laura strickler and i that it's without precedent. it never happened in the obama administration -- >> oh, ken, when you say unprecedented on this show, you've got to pay me two bucks. >> i said, "without precedent." >> we'll go with $1

cia.? >> i think the cia is somewhat exaggerated. i'm sorry. >> no, no. mac -- >> --. the caa has never said, "we did this." they are clearly adamant. >> they are fairly adamant on that point. >> i just want to repeat for over 150 years throughout almost all of the middle east, the secular military men have been beating the religious establishment. they were submerging so it is not at all surprising with the idea that a cleric could come back and essentially rule the roost, it was pretty unthinkable. >> i will open it up to questions. please identify yourself and ask your question come a not a comment. >> thank you very much. let's move forward a little bit away from history. -- >> -- >> what is your prediction, what anniversary would be the final anniversary of the islamic republic? >> we don't have to do this but if you want to do this, that is your prerogative because this is one session that we decided we are going to devote to history. if you want to know about -- but are bad and have the debate, there are plenty of places you can do that. what is the final annive

top security clearance met defying the recommendations of senior intelligence officials including the cia. donald trump did it any way. which as president he has the perfect right to do and yet, he and his administration and even his daughter, jared kushner's wife, ivanka, repeatedly lied to the public about it. why would they do that? joining me now david k. johnston, founder of dc report.org. malcolm vance and frank figulisi and sarah kenslyier. thank you all for being here. i rarely have these two gentlemen at the desk with me. i'll turn to my illut trius panel. malcolm and david. it is unusual, although the president has the right to offer this security clearance and override his national security officials, doing so for this particular person was unusual for a lot of reasons. can you remind people of why? he wasn't exactly honest in the ways he described his qualifications. >> no. for the first time in my career where i held the top secret clearance for a quarter of a century, i have never heard the phrase unclearable before and that was one of the phrases that was used about jared k

story of this we've heard something very vague about how the british g c h q ended up briefing the cia because they intercepted something that troubled them a lot and that turned into the f.b.i. investigation but we still don't we have no idea what the actual timeline is there and what what they were actually intercepting and what prompted the actual beginning of this investigation but i think the real beginning of the problem was the beginning of the campaign when every single pundit in the universe dismissed as laughable the idea that they could win the nomination you remember dana milbank from the washington post promising to literally eat his column if. trump won the national nomination which he ended up actually doing humorously. in what was what's interesting about that is that the journalists total left audiences totally unprepared for the possibility that trump could when they constantly told us that it would never happen and so when it did happen we scrambled for an alternative explanation. and the conspiratorial one fit better than what they've been told i think journalists w

done investigative journalism over the years is i've spoken to contacts and sources i've had in the cia and the pentagon and this is because over the course of all of this the last two years and i never got anything definitive from them about trump which is what i always concerned me about you know there really intense talk from the mad ows and the right cue the jaws music like you know that he's a he's about to be eaten by the shark and i think that they're all embarrassed now that we don't have i don't like to read their whole netiquette rob rob rob hold that thought we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on russia can stay with. this manufactured sentenced to the public will. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go round if so be the one percent say. to me believe. nice guys are financial survival guide liquid assets that you can. that's quite easily. to keep in mind though as a tremendous place. for. me then my mom on the run up to one whom you know better than to because of. that. she was even. welcome

many are in the cia. it is not a homogenous bunch. there is more consistency and the 1970's than in other generations, but some individuals are inspired by what ellsberg did. others reject the idea of taking classified information and putting it in the public realm. there is an interesting point here that goes back to the espionage act and why it is being used to prosecute whistleblowers. it ensures that the handling of information is crucial. this is what separates the u.s. and its use of the espionage act and the countries that have an official secrets act, and also means that the united states has indiscriminately attacked whistleblowers of all political stripes. john dickerson in the 1950's, and these are very small incidents, but they are very interesting because they are all individuals releasing information to improve and enhance american power. they are not dissenting. it is not civil disobedience. none of these are successful. the u.s. government is not able to successfully prosecute through the espionage act. coming back to

he was a former cia director. i don't know about you guys but when a former cia director speaks i believe they have credibility. he needs to flush that out a little more. i think a lot of people look at that press conference that had big questions and said something is not right here. he should have been more careful. >> let's accept rothose out. he was crying from the rooftops. yes. it is an apology. one of the many open questions bha when the full report is released is why does the president show such odd to putin? you floknow, there are a number open questions with the stories we need the other information out that is in the report. >> and speakingov of apologies, what does his team of professional prosecutors are they owed an apology? >> i think you already see the president doing it saying that mueller acted honorably. this isn't unique to mueller. think of graham. he had nasty things to say about him. seems like when they clang their tune he is fine with them. >> we can't go on playing the apology games. no

>> well, i don't know what the cia director was talking about the first time and i don't really know what he is talking about the second time. he didn't really know what he was talking about. and that's too bad. i think that was probably a mistake on his part given the prestige of the former office that he carried. i do agree with him that it is to the extent we have now shown there was no criminal conspiracy, that ought to be something that everybody can agree on is a good thing. it is not a good thing that russia did attempt to distort, disrupt, however you want to call it, interfere with our election through using social media and accentiating the divisions in our country. and i guess i have to disagree with what victor davis hanson said which is i don't think mueller has -- i don't think mueller's reputation has been damaged here and i don't think the fact that his team was, perhaps, filled with a bunch of people who were supposedly democrats is in hindsight a black mark. if anything, that fortifies the president's position right now. which is like, you know, even this guy who is

former cia direct to, the director of the cia, john brennan, actually called the president, our president, treasonous. that is beyond i am -- embarrassing. that is disgraceful. i believe america is done with trump investigations but i don't think the president is done with what has been done to him. i said at the beginning of this editorial that america's election system survived intact and so it did but it was attacked not just by a foreign power but also by deep state rogues who attempted a coup from the inside. it is time we got to the bottom of that and i think the president will. the second hour of "varney & company" is about to begin. ♪ >> this was an illegal take-down, that failed and hopefully somebody is going to be looking at the other side. so it is complete exoneration, no collusion, no obstruction. stuart: strong stuff from the president, right there on the mueller report. he is talking about this part of the letter attorney general william barr, quote the special counsel's investigation did not find that the trump campaign or anyone associated with it or conspired or coord

. >> one interesting thing, he did not over rule the cia. he was willing to over rule the white house official, but when it came to that high level of nci, the cia never granted that. our reporting till this day that kushner does not have it. you can only speculate why that is. one possibility that donald trump does not want to be in another fight with the cia. it is one thing to over rule white house speciecurity specias working for the white house is another thing of the high review of the cia. >> is there anything we are missing from this? >> i think there is this real question of what was the damage that was done? we have seen reports of foreign government trying to influence kushner and reporting that's sketchy whether or not he'll share that. you have to get to the bottom of what was lost. we have not seen any assessment of the damage that could have been done as a result of granting this clearance. >> annie, finally to you, we know this because of contemporaneous memos. memos from everyone that deals with donald trump. this one came f

central intelligence agency the cia at a closed doors meeting with paulson r.-o. and in addition to that he spoke to the u.s. chamber of commerce and when he spoke to the u.s. chamber of commerce paulson r.-o. remarked nowadays you have a president who is a friend of the united states and admires this beautiful country speaking glowingly of donald trump so people have their eyes on the white house where the two leaders the leader of brazil and leader of the united states are having their historic meeting ok we'll let you get back across that news conference and check in with you later finale though in new york a developing thanks. donald trump is keeping all options on the table when it comes to venezuela and says he knows exactly what he wants to open. well every options on the table with respect to venezuela in your life if you get involved or. if you so i don't know we haven't even discussed it we're going to discuss it today it comes as the u.s. imposes a new round of economic sanctions on the crisis head venezuela this tuesday this time targeting the nation's

i served on the defense policy board and the cia board, and that was not a requirement. >> right. as i said, about 90% of people also undergo a polygraph test as part of that. cru chris what do you think, the question i asked marine, i mean, all of this is because the president thinks this guy i really trust. so far in the two years that he's been a top adviser to the president, how do you think jared kushner has done? saudi arabia, china, now the mideast, he supposedly is the architect of the -- >> we haven't seen the proposal, so we don't know really what avenue he's going to launch from. we've been hearing for two years that the deal on the u.s. side, proposals are sort of nearing conclusion and that jared has been traveling to the middle east to talk about it with both sides, you know, the israelis and the palestinians, but we haven't seen -- chris: congresswoman, you've got about 45 seconds. >> how he performs is not the issue. the issue is whether he is a threat to national security because of relationships he has with foreign governments. so i, you know, i didn't know ben r

according to "the times" cia and dan mcgahn recommended he be denied the top secret clearance. the paper reports that last year, kelly wrote a memo saying the president, quote, ordered him to clear kushner's path. at the time, the president told a different story. >> did you tell general kelly or anyone else in the -- >> no. i'm not sure i have the authority to do that. i wouldn't do it. jared is a good -- i was never involved with the security. >> reporter: ivanka trump recently told "the view's" abbey huntsman -- >> overriding other officials. can you speak to that? >> there were anonymous leaks about there being issues, but the president had no involvement pertaining to my clearance or my husband's clearance. zero. >> reporter: as for a response from the white house, they were blunt, we don't comment on security clearance. pierre thomas, abc news, washington. >> our thanks to pierre there. michael cohen will be back after wrapping up three days of testimony, prompting lawmakers to summon more witnesses. >> the intelligence committee is looking into coordination between russi

this could only happen at this level of government the head of the cia and the justice department only with a wink and a nod from the commander-in-chief where do they get the confidence this was okay? who could have given the green light? the on verify a dossier was the justification for this rogue intelligence operation. anytime there is a clue there is the effeminate one - - affirmative defense of action to destroy trump and endorse hillary. so where do we go from here? who was the judge that signed the first fisa warrant and the second of the reopening? and the evidence of fact with the extension? who signed the second extension what additional evidence was provided to that judge? why haven't we heard the fisa court being investigated? why is there a fisa court to begin with? i want to john brennan who tried to get out of this mess to say i got bad information perk i want him investigated by a grand chain amaretto bridge and that condescending jim comey. when somebody lies to you say don't worry about it i will get over it. that is not how the system work works. there has to be acco

what we're doing, our troops are not fighting except for the cia folks buck was referring to. the 2000 troops in syria are not doing the fighting. they are mostly special operations forces and they're artillery forces and forward air controllers. we've trained kurdish and arab fighters who are going out and fighting. american trainers plan their missions and provide them with intelligence and targeting artillery and air cover and the syrians, indigenous forces are doing the fighting and that's the strategy. >> buck, the last word. >> anybody who spent time with indigenous forces and u.s. military together. 400 the number we're talking about here is a place holder for a conflict the size of syria and the problem that place holder gets a lot larger. remember, we were down to how many thousands in afghanistan, obama ramped it up to over 100,000 and to what end. look at troop deployment levels in iraq. how long will we even be in iraq, the most powerful politician in that sunday is al sadr who has the blood of u.s. servicemen on his hands and some of you were in that war and know

these are people who created the cia which from basically world war ii one, the united states has never won a war, we are in perpetual war and, your organization that you belong to is the one creating this chaos, fear, intimidation, and secrecy, that is what makes people not want to be involved in their national, political civic duty, because the control and the lovers are not being produced by we, the people. host: go ahead and respond. guest: the council on foreign relations is basically a debate club. it brings together people of the new york business community with people from the un who are here during the general assembly, it connects this new york community on foreign policy, interested community with washington, d.c. i would not give too much power to it. the decisions are made in washington, d.c. the white house, pentagon, national security staff and not by the council on foreign relations. but, is everything, there is a polarized opinion landscape in the u.s., some individuals, obviously not you, very strongly identify with the role that the u.s. has played since the second wo

i worked with him for about four years when i was the cia deputy director and he was the director of the f.b.i. . he's not a self promoting individual and he has a very high standard for what is true and what is not true administrator pistole the point to me is number two person in the f.b.i. as the deputy director and so i had the chance to get to know him and then. work with him so let me say a few words about director ball or politics or just don't play any role in his calculations so he is all about finding the truth and doing it under the rule of wall so yeah he's a man who told you that. robert muller was placed under the authority of the department of justice and its deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. his new orders give him far reaching powers. moller can investigate moscow's relations with the trump campaign and any other matters. most are wastes no time immediately orders the preservation of millions of official documents forbidding the destruction of records that could be useful in the russia probe e-mails phone records audio recordings metadata and storage devices re
