britain s eastern coast, dumping the ammo everywhere. it came over the house and helicopters are not usually that low, definitely not helicopters. and, it just was a loud noise getting nearer. you saw the lights. and saw it go over because i looked out the window and, we saw it go over, which, that must have crashed just after i guess. jon: british police have secured the area. they say they will work with the u.s. military to try to figure out what happened to that chopper. jenna: a new report shedding some light on the people who may be responsible for the benghazi attack. what congress may do to bring them closer to justice. a man suspected of defrauding investors out of millions and faking his own death is found with a new face. will he get out on bond and try to run again, the big question today? plus harsh criticism of the president from his former defense secretary robert gates.
now you see al qaeda on the rise. jon: overruling military commanders due to politics. does that happen in every administration, charlie? well, of course, and you know, the system is designed to work that way. the basic fundamental founding of our country is based on the idea that we have political people make the decisions about the military and keeps the military in check and that s fine but the problem comes when you get into a situation where the decisions that are being made are so strictly politically motivated and, kind of dismissive of the, you know, military realities on the ground that you get into real problems. one of the things that i find most amusing about all of this from the gates book, is that the big lesson being learned here in washington, following the gates book is that, is that it is dangerous to keep on high-level cabinet officials from the
yeah, that s correct. right now we re focusing on a dark-colored ford ranger type pickup truck. it should have some driver s side, damage to the driver s side door or front quarter panel. and because the victim s car was silver, because of the ramming, we believe there might be some silver paint transfer on the suspect s vehicle. jon: you re also suggesting that this same truck or same driver may have been involved in a similar road rage incident just a few hours before? we had a similar incident that occurred about seven hours prior. there are similarities. to this point we haven t been able to come up with anything that definitely links the two but we re going to investigate them as being linked until we find something that tells us otherwise. jon: again as i said, even though this happened around 2:00 a.m., it is a very heavily traveled highway. maybe people saw something. you have a tip line up for those who might have information. there is the number on the screen. call the pe
plea, what bargaining chips does he have? he will face charges on wire fraud, raising charges in florida growing marijuana plants. he will face charges for faking his own death, he needs something to bargain with that will be this not guilty plea. it will not be a strong one, it is the only thing he has at this point, jenna. jenna: do you agree? eventually they will be a plea in this case. he didn t do it today because he wants to negotiate a plea deal. he has been on the run for a year, probably would not return to court if he was released. jenna: apparently he is pretty good at it because he evaded the fbi for 18 months. we will be watching this case and the other one out of california. thank you very much. thank you. jon: this particular deep-freeze is delivering its final punch, we re happy to report. a live report as the frigid temperatures finally start to
director, press secretary wrote a tell-all book similarly toward the end of his term as well. these tell-all books are not new. former administration officials want to show their side of the story. they want to state their legacy. in many ways they control the power because they can say whatever they want. they re outside of the administration. jon: we have, charlie, the portrait of a president who campaigned in 2008 on the war in afghanistan being the good war, the war in iraq being the bad war and yet once he takes over and wind down iraq, then he wanted to get out of afghanistan for political reasons primarily according to the former defense secretary. you know, jon, that is the central point, the most important thing that we can kind of glean from all this. no matter what you think of bob gates, these are pretty damning accusation that is he makes and it is exactly, for the reasons you just stated, that president
