that was some fellow from misix, which is the equivalent of cia. the end cia was involved, the department of justice. the only place that those organizations come to a point where it can be ordered and coordinated is the president. jesse: and we do have records of this spy, or whatever you want to call him in england was getting paid pretty handsomely by the obama administration, right around the same time he was running these dirty tricks. this guy was connected to mi6 and cia. he had done some dirty tricks on elections in the past. he s been outspoken about his support for hillary clinton and even tried to get a job within the trump administration afterwards. so jeff, it s all coming apart. it is. to see klapper and brennan out there with the titles of former director, et cetera, these guys
do with stopping the surprising surge of trump during the g.o.p. primaries and beyond. let s examine that prospect with some top-notch experts. former fbi agent jeff beatty is in orlando. in washington, bill benny who served more than 30 years as top intel official with the nsa before turning whistle-blower. and here in new york, steve rogers, former fbi joint terrorism task force. steve, let s start with you. i have a theory here, one is bad and one s a little worse. first, the obama administration thought there was russia infiltration so they use the trump officials as bait in order to lure the russians in. but nothing materialized, and they looked around and thought, i have some trump people on the hook here, let s turn the screws. or, it was deceitful from the very beginning and they wanted eyes and ears on the trump campaign. so without any probable cause, they cooked up this echo chamber
called that a disastrous path and accused trump of self-serving action. trump replied by quoting dan bongino on fox & friends this morning and said brennan is panicking because he has disgraced himself in the entire intel community. dan bongino accused brennan of starting the entire russia investigation which he called the political hit job, not an intelligence investigation. the big question now is the intel community under obama spy on the trump campaign for political purposes as i asked in a angle ? let s discuss that with former nsa intel official william being in the studio with the end in boston, former delta force officer jeff beatty, cia counterterrorist case officer and a hostage rescue advisor to the fbi. great to have both of you want. william, let s start with you. i find this narrative to be so disturbing on so many levels.
justify it by writing memos that say things that they are not really doing. laura: by the book, by the book. we are all doing it by the book. william and jeff, great to see was always. the media ignores growing evidence of the russian investigators they have stepped over the british wedding. stay there.
laura: given your best government experience, intel community, scale of 1-10, 1 being the least likely attending the most likely that obama knew about this investigation. i would say ten. laura: jeff? i would agree. they have to know what s going on and if they didn t than they are not doing their jobs. laura: let s remember susan rice s email to herself which i mention at least once a show. here it goes. she writes in him all to herself, national security advisor inauguration day right after noon. officially trump ex-president then, but nevertheless. president obama began the converse, conversation by stressing his continued commitments that every aspect of this issue is headed by the intelligence or law enforcement communities by the book. the president stressed that he s not asking about initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would buy the book. she mentions by the book two times. jeff
