systems we will hit on that 702 collection and the investigating agent will know holy cow, there s an american who was in touch with that terrorist in yemen. if that agent has been trained and has access to the information, they ll be able to know it. that s how our systems are designed. thank you. i should say the same review that was conducted in 2014 does point out the value of the program. i certainly think and i think most of us do here see the incredible value of 702 and the need for reauthorization there. with regard to just different topic completely, polygraph testing as you re aware any applicant for a law enforcement position with the federal government is required to undergo a polygraph. it s worth noting that cpb experiences significantly higher failure rates around 65% than any other federal law enforcement agency. the fbi does pretty well with this. has the bureau ever conducted
get better. it s probably going to get worse? i think it s fair to say. did you ever talk to sally yats about her concerns about general flinn being compromised? i did. i don t know whether i can talk about it in this forum, but the answer is yes. she had concerns about general flynn and she expressed those concerns to you? correct. we ll talk about that later. do you stand by your house testimony of march 20th that there was no surveillance of the trump campaign that you re aware of? correct. you wouldn t about it if there were, is that correct? i think so, yes. okay. carter page, was there a fisa warrant issued regarding carter page s activity with the russians? can t answer that hear. did you consider carter page an agent of the campaign? same answer. can t answer that here. okay. do you stand by your testimony that there is an active investigation, counterintelligence
made similar claims. now either they re lying or there is a serious problem within the bureau. anybody in the fbi during this 2016 campaign have contact with rudy giuliani about the clinton investigation? i don t know yet, but if i find out that people were leaking information about our investigations whether to reporters or private parties, there will be severe consequences. did you know anything from jim calstrom? same answer. i don t know yet. you don t know about other former agents? i don t know yet. but it s a matter that i m very, very interested in. but you are looking into it? correct. and once you have found that answer, will you provide it to us? i will provide it to the committee in some form, i don t know if i would say it publicly, but i would find some way to let you know. okay. now, there are reports of a
representative cummings wants to explore that. and never asked that the inspector general look into it. wayne barrett has a great piece in the daily beast where he reemphasizes the fact that rudy giuliani on the radio after jim comey s letter leaked about this finding additional e-mails that may or may not be related to the investigation on anthony weiner s laptop, admitted talking to active agents. he said i know that there former acts, i know he even from a few active agents. why is it relevant if giuliani is talking to active agents? could that be a crime? yeah, just to piggyback on what joe said, jim calstrom is the thenexus. i think he s probably the one who is the director of the nyo,
jim is also the head of the fbi agent association. so clearly in that position he would probably have access to current fbi agents and that would seem like a likely path to get information to sort of pass on to rudy giuliani. so clearly there is a nexus here. but just to close this out, i just want to reassure the american people that i have connections with the fbi, and i m sort of shocked to hear that there is a revolution in the fbi. i don t buy that. this is a small minority, unfortunately they have the ear of people like jim calstrom and rudy giuliani and they have decided to take a public track. but the rest of the fbi is a professional organization and they re holding true to their oath. glink t i think the problem is that the public is losing confidence in the fbi at large because of what i ve described as a sell, an anti-clinton sell inside the new york fbi. you as somebody who has worked with these people, have you ever heard of members of the fbi
