guilty to lying to the fbi. now a year and a half later he you have a book out where you say some thing a little different maybe i will just read a quick passage. you say 99% of my statement is true. the 1% at us and unfortunately the most damaging part where i admit lying and damaging the investigation. i've used those words and own them because the charges but prosecutors insisted on hitting me with. how did you get from point a in october of 2017 to point b. in this book? >> guest: sure. that is a great question. so, i guess let's look at my situation with the special counsel and fbi from the beginning sweet and kind of understand that. when i was interviewed by the fbi the first time, we've are looking at a very chaotic moment. i had been as i explain in my book there was a ruse that was used to get me to volunteer the interview and that was my interactions with sir j. i didn't understand his role in the entire investigation. >> host: when the fbi came to talk with you you thought it was for something but it turned out not to be? >> guest: absolutely and the fbi itself stated the ex

trump russian collusion was a giant hoax. we have the fbi 9 month investigation and bipartisan senate investigation and the words are clear. the mueller investigation, every single one of these investigations, yeah, say there was no russian collusion whatsoever. none. they all in the media mob got it wrong. now shifting to new conspiracy theories. we want donald trump's taxes. maybe the attorney general is covering up phanton crimes hidden deep within the special counsel full report. even though the attorney general said it didn't happen. you can watch rachael. they are lying to their viewers. "washington post" and the "new york times" not much different. pushing articles pabased on hea say. the attorney general testifying that the full report will be released within a week. no request from executive privilege by the president have been made. the only redactions were based on strict legal guidelines like not giving away sources or methods. you can't give out grand jury information. >> i identified 4 areas that should be redacted. the first is 6-ematerial. the second is informations th

top aides to lie or mislead. one day after the president fired fbi director james comey, white house press secretary sarah sanders told reporters that comey no longer had the confidence of mr. trump and other people. >> bipartisan members of congress made it clear that they had lost confidence in director comey. and most importantly, the rank and file of the fbi had lost confidence in their director. i can speak to my own personal experience. i've heard from countless members of the fbi that are grateful and thankful for the president's decision. >> according to mueller's report, sanders told investigators countless members of the fbi was a slip of the tongue. we spoke with the president's chief spokeswoman a short time ago. >> you repeated the claims, a slip of the tongue, several times. what exactly did you mean to say, because you appeared to be reading, you appeared to be reading those comments on several occasions. what did you mean to say? >> look, i've acknowledged that the word countless was a slip of the tongue. but it's no secret that a number of fbi, both current and

wrongdoing on -- to begin the investigation, the fbi wrongdoing. he said i have no specific evidence that i could cite right now. he said he has concerns about various aspects about it. and that's why he's convening a group to look into exactly what happened here. but he did mention other aspects of the mueller report that were interesting, as well as the four-page letter that he sent to congress, outiening the top line conclusions of the report. the big question is why special counsel mueller kicked that the decision of obstruction of justice to the attorney general, whether he meant to kick that instead to congress on the question of obstruction. barr just revealed that mueller did not indicate that he wanted congress to make that decision on obstruction of justice. he also said that mueller did not specifically ask the attorney general to make that decision. he said that's generally how it works, the justice department makes that decision about charges with obstruction of justice. now there's been lots of questions about the redactions. he's making it clear that he plans to hand over a r

" the witness, former fbi general counsel jim baker says "yes." "question, can you explain what the atmosphere was like at the fbi after the president fired james comey?" answer, jim baker, "i'm not sure that i can reduce it to one or two words. it doesn't, i guess, horrible atmosphere. it was shock, dismay, confusion, at least initially that night, and then -- and then a sense of resolve that came pretty quickly as well to continue the fbi's mission. and as i was saying earlier to the congressman, make sure that we were all adhering to our oaths to the constitution and executing our responsibilities." "question, was there a concern at the fbi the president had fired director comey because he was trying to obstruct the fbi's investigation into the russia matter?" "answer, jim baker, yes." "question, was that a concern that you had?" "answer, jim baker, yes." "question, was that concern shared by others? "answer, i think so, yes." "question, who, who else?" "answer, the leadership of the fbi. so the acting director. . i can't remember if we appointed an acting deputy director immedia

breaking news. cnn sources are reporting that the woman who set off a massive manhunt is dead. the fbi tweeted moments ago there is no longer a threat to the community. all of this stemming from the search for an armed woman described as infatuated with the columbine school massacre. our correspondent is in littleton, colorado. we have cnn law enforcement analysts here with us. we have national security analyst with us from cambridge, massachusetts. this has just changed in the last few minutes. tell us what you are now hearing. >> reporter: initially we had been told by the fbi they put out an alert saying that the threat is no longer facing the community. now we are hearing from two of our local affiliates that they are citing the clear creek county sheriff as saying the person of interest here has in fact been killed. it is not clear what the circumstances around that are, but we know that there was heavy law enforcement activity around mt. evans about an hour and 30 minutes drive from where we are in littleton. it is really into some remote areas of the mountains. initially we had

lied when she said this about the president firing. of fbi director james comey. >> they lost faith in director comey. >> we heard from countless members of the fbi. that say very different things. >> that was may 10. 2017. sanders on camera telling reporters that countless members of the fbi had lost confidence in comey. trouble is, what she said was inaccurate. sanders herself admitted her comments were not fact based. when she was questioned about it under oath by special counsel mueller. her admission in print on page 72. sanders told this office her reference to countless members of the fbi was a slip of the tongue. she also told the tale her statement in a separate press interview where he said rank and file agents had lost confidence in comey was made in the heat of the moment. a statement the report says was not founded on anything. >> within hours of the mueller report being made public, sanders went on damage control. saying the point she was making was that both current and former fbi agents agreed with the president. >> i acknowledge that i had a slip of the tongue using

-russia collusion was a giant hoax.nt we have the fbi nine month investigation, the house intel investigation, bipartisan senate investigation, the words are clear. and the mother investigation, every single one of these investigations, yeah, say there was no russia collusion whatsoever. none. and they all in the media mob got it wrong. now they are shifting to new conspiracy theories. we want donald trump's taxes. oh, maybe the attorney general is covering up major, phantom crimes hidden deep within the special counsel's full report. the president obstructed justice, even though the attorney general and deputy attorney general said no, it did not happen. by the way, you can watch rachel maddow, the leader of this tinfoil hat conspiracy brigade. once again, they are hoping and typing and lying to their viewers with a pack of twisted lies. "washington post," "new york times," not much different. once again pushing articles based on hearsay from anonymous sources, the less demanding that the full report being released immediately. but the attorney general today testifying that the

what is happening with attorney general flynn apparently there is a lot going on inside the fbi. look at andrew mccabe and focus on these characters. i started to focus to take a step back with what is going on and the more we started to investigate, little by little we peeled back the layers of the onion. it really felt like that. that it can get much worse than this. >> i absolutely believe general flynn was a target from the beginning absolutely. . >> keep in mind look at that time with a massive reorganization of the intelligence community there are a lot of power fall constituencies that liked the status quo he was talking about reorganizing that i think opportunity struck behind his back and all you have to do is take james comey's own comments he was tricked into the interview before he could get lawyers the man who oversaw the fbi. >> that a man who spent 33 years of his life dedicated to this nation his service overseas was exemplary and without him i have been told the assistant deputy directors of the department of defense he was the third leg to get al qaeda targeting all

clovis. the media is attacking you today because i guess the testimony you gave you said the fbi people you know were -- were, i could tell you -- let me put it this way -- every fbi rank and file guy, the 99.9% i know have all thanked me, because they're hurt -- their -- this is the premier law enforcement agency in the world. just like our intelligence community. same thing. the premier intelligence community in the world. they were hurt by a few at the top. and they're angry about it. and you said that but explain? >> look, i acknowledged that i had a slip of the tongue when i used the word "countless," but it's not untrue. and certainly you just echoed the sentiment and the point i was making is that a number of both current and former fbi agents agreed with the president. james comey was a disgraced leaker who tried to politicize and undermine the agency he was supposed to run. firing james comey remains one of the best decisions that the president made. the only problem is, he could have done it sooner and maybe it would have been a better thing. but absolutely the right decision

begin with that breaking news out of colorado. the fbi has confirmed there is, quote, no longer a threat to the community after a massive search for a teenage woman described as armed and extremely dangerous and law enforcement told nbc news this 18-year-old suspect has now been found death. >> authorities say sol pais was infatuated with the 1999 columbine high school massacre and posed a credible threat. classes for more than half a million students are canceled today. all of this happening three days out from the 20th anniversary of the columbine massacre. >> we're joined now by joe fryer in colorado. joe, this is breaking news. we're taking it all in as we hear it. what is the latest where you are? >> reporter: we're in littleton, colorado, right now getting ready to head out. as we've reported, they confirmed that sol pais has been found dead. this comes after the fbi put out a tweet that said there's no longer a threat to the community, more information to follow shortly. what's unclear at this point is exactly how she died. we hope to learn more information about that here

, we're learning why. the special counsel's report saying, quote, a thorough fbi investigation would uncover facts about the campaign and the president personally that the president could have understood to be crimes or that would give rise to personal and political concerns. the report contains a potentially damning list of ways the president tried to, quote, influence the investigation but was unsuccessful. mueller writing trump was saved, quote, largely because the persons who surrounded the president declined to carry out orders or exceed to his requests. those requests included asking then fbi director james comey to end the investigation into former national security adviser michael flynn. and ordering white house counsel don mcgahn to get deputy attorney general rod rosenstein to fire robert mueller. mcgahn did not carry out the direction, however, deciding he would resign rather than trigger what he regarded as a potential saturday night massacre. >> i have been totally exonerated. >> the special counsel's conclusion ultimately contradicts the president's claim that he is tot

evidence with other offices of the department of justice, and the fbi. what other offices? is somebody else working on that now? other entities in russia besides the internet research agency that were doing this social media and online and propaganda and disinformation stuff to try to infect the u.s. -- the u.s. election on behalf of the russian federation to benefit trump. there were other entities doing that part of it? apparently, and those have been referred to in the fbi and the justice department. who are they? what are they investigating? what does that relate to? that's actually a surprisingly recurring theme throughout the mueller report. i mean, we're going to talk tonight about the 12 cases that mueller has referred for prosecution. referred to other law enforcement entities for prosecution. 12 of the 14 of them are totally blacked out in this report. we are not allowed to know who they are or if they're yet being prosecuted or by home. we just know those have been referred by mueller for prosecution. who are those? we'll also talk about the two active cases that mueller app

investigation to find out. and that is whether politics and prosecution have mixed. you know, the fbi is free to go out there and investigate whomever it chooses, but when it directs, again, the full resources of the united states government against a presidential campaign, it better have, as you suggest, a very good reason for doing to because it involves a presidential candidate, it should be something that is carefully controlled through proper procedures in the department of justice. and that's, by the way, the whole reason why right now as we speak the inspector general for the department of justice, michael horowitz -- who is an obama appointee, confirmed with the advice and consent of the senate -- is conducting an investigation that attorney general barr also indicated would likely conclude in may or june of this year with a report. once that report is received, then what you would expect to happen is the department of justice at the highest level, including the attorney general, would conduct an appropriate investigation if one needs to be conducted to decide whether or not any crime

inside the fbi look at andrew mccabe. focus on some of these characters that was a same thing that happened to jon. i started focusing in and just really taking a step back saying what's goingha on here and the e more we started to investigate, little by little we started peeling back what we call the onion right layer of the onion that felt like that so ting it can't get much worse than this it can't -- >> was general flynn set up? >> i absolutely believe that general flynn was a target. from the very beginning -- >> because the obama generals didn't like him. is that correct? your intelligence if you keep in mind if you look back at that time he was talking about about it massive reorganization of the intelligence community. there are a lot of powerful constituency in the community that like status quo, and he was talking about reorganizeing that. and i think he had a target on his back and opportunity struck, and to answer the question whether he was set up all you have to do is james comey comment at that seminar in new him intot that seminar in new being interviewed before law

foreign policy aid. he's the one whose activities initiated the fbi's investigation in july of 2016, so it describes that they went into everything here, wolf. new information here though in this section. they say they looked into allegations that george pap done lou, again, a foreign policy aid for the campaign, committed a crime or crimes by acting as an unregistered agent of the israeli government. now, that's the first time we've ever heard that the special counsel was looking into activities of people connected with the campaign that went beyond the russians. they were looking into whether or not george papadopoulos was essentially acting as an agent of the israeli government, according to the documents that we've seen pubically now. obviously george papadopoulos has now pleaded guilty. he's gone to jail for a few days. we know -- we don't know anything about that, so it's clear that they did not get to a decision to be able to charge him, but it really does show the extent of this investigation, that this document again describes also four sets of allegations against michael flynn

fbi opened an investigation into russian interference in the 2016 elections. can you share with us why you feel a need to do that? >> i think spying on a political campaign is a big deal. it's a big deal. the generation i grew up in, which is the vietnam war period, people were all concerned about spying on anti-war people and so forth by the government. and there were a lot of rules put in place to make sure that there is an adequate basis before our law enforcement agencies get involved in political surveillance. i'm not suggesting that those rules were violated, but i think it's important to look at that. and i'm not just -- i'm not talking about the fbi necessarily, but intelligence agencies more broadly. >> so you're not -- you're not suggesting, though, that spying occurred? >> i don't -- well, i guess you could -- i think there was, spying did occur, yes. i think spying did occur. >> are you sure you want to say that? do you know exactly what you mean to say here? do you want to think about it? it may be that attorney general william barr is just, you know, he is curious. he

what the fbi would normally do to prevent personal embarrassment, to try to gain an upper hand in an open probe when it wasn't clear exactly where the fbi was going to land. that's not okay. that's not something that the doj under its rules indicts a sitting president for, but it's also not okay. and so, brian, picking up on the conversation you're having with neal and your panelists, this really goes to the key section i think at the end of mueller's analysis, you asked earlier, and some experts discussed, why it's not the way we do things, that the doj just says, well, we don't indict the president, but looks like he committed a crime, there you go, america. that's not the system. bob mueller is too practiced and too fair for that. what it does look like is they explain at the end was there smoke or not? and then does america want to do anything about it? and i would draw everyone's attention on obstruction to a lot of smoke. i'm reading now more from the mueller report. we don't have this ready for the screen. i think it's pretty clear. mueller writes that basically the president

believes the fbi spied on donald trump's campaign. is the moment everyone is talking about. >> i have been spying on a political campaign is a big deal. >> you are not suggesting spying occurred? >> spying did occur. i think spying that occur. >> when asked what evidence he had to back up such a claim, bill barr wouldn't say. >> there is a basis for my concern but i'm not going to discuss the basis. >> reporter: nancy pelosi says william barr has gone of the rails, democrats accusing him of legitimizing, quote, republican conspiracy theory nonsense. >> i believe the attorney general of the united states of america needs to protect the president of the united states and that's unfortunate. >> senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says william barr's concerns are worth a look. >> the question whether you trust william barr or not, he was a confirmed attorney general in. 41, and honorable man, he's not trying to cover anything up. >> reporter: bar told the subcommittee today he is personally reviewing the genesis and conduct of the russia investigation including why the fbi did not warn

issue is whether evidence drove the decision making in 2016 or personal bias at the fbi personnel was the driver. >> i believe there's a basis for my concern, but i'm not going to discuss the basis. >> during the 2016 campaign, the fbi opened what is called the counter intelligence investigation. this is designed to gather information versus bringing up criminal prosecution in the futu future. we saw that they got a surveillance warrant for carter page. the warrant was never offered a defensive briefing, like an intelligence heads-up to warn about russian contact. >> so would it be odd that your campaign may be targeted by a foreign entity? >> that is one of the questions i have. i feel normally the campaign would have been advised of this. >> democrats pressed the attorney general on the mueller report in these four categories of redactions arguing there's a legal precedent for chairing grand jury information. >> it attempts to hide swaths of the report from public scrutiny along the way, will only fuel suspicions raised by many that the justice department, which represents the u

, including the fbi, atf, civil rights division, and the executive office. i appreciate the willingness of the department to come and testify before this subcommittee , even though we may have a different opinion on different issues. i will take a moment to describe concerns prompted by these hearings. we have heard what appears to be a lack of commitment to theappee a lack of commitment to the department's traditional mission to defend civil rights. disability rights and prevent discrimination. we have discussed what appears to be a clear animus towards policies that protect individual health care, voting rights, access to education and much, much more. we have discussed a need for resources to address gun violence in this country while at the same time hearing atf say that the budget request would result in staffing reductions. we have talked to the head of the executive office for immigration review about the need to protect due process and fairness in our immigration courts and the many policy changes that make such goals more difficult to achieve. we have heard the fbi describe the th

exposed ten times president trump may have obstructed justice, suggesting the fbi director let michael flynn go, pressuring the attorney general to reverse his recusal, firing the fbi director, trying to get rid of the special counsel, trying to limit the investigation, coordinating lies about the trump tower meeting with russians, again, trying to get jeff sessions to take over the investigation, telling his white house counsel to lie about attempts to remove mueller, dangling pardons, and criticizing his former lawyer michael cohen while he was cooperating with prosecutors. some congressional democrats are demanding the start of impeachment proceedings. others in the party remain unconvinced and they'll hold a conference, we know, on monday to discuss the next steps. cnn white house correspondent boris sanchez is in west palm beach near the president's mar-a-lago resort. boris, we know democrats are united in demanding the full unredacted report. but that's setting up a fight with the justice department. >> reporter: that's right, ana. and that is likely a fight that will end
