intelligence community that russia had a clear preference for donald trump and sought to influence the 2016 election. the senate intelligence committee is a far more serious consequential panel looking in the issue of russia s election hack and attack as compared to the house intelligence committee led by devin nunes, even though he had to recuse himself. glen, as we heard from charlie at the top of the show, it s extraordinary to see this thing. i want to get your perspective as swb who was a federal prosecutor. what changes now? now that we have more insight into this process, your reaction to this thing being made public? well, david, this thing being made public i think in the short term may be good because it does sort of debunk some of what we ve heard by way of the critics. but in the long run i don t know that it s a good thing because these sort of methods that the government uses, and i know it s a highly redacted document at this point, appropriately so, but we may actua
country go to planned parenthood for health care at some point in their lifetime. we ve been hearing from women absolutely panicked about where they can go to for care. and i think the other thing that s important swb you know, we re so proud of the work we ve done on preventing unintended pregnancy. we re actually now at an historic low for teen pregnancy in the united states of america. we re at the lowest rate of abortion since roe versus wade was decided. and one thing that hasn t been reported too much out of the cbo score, they estimate, as does every other medical journal, is if you actually block access to planned parenthood, unintended pregnancy will go up, as will the rate of abortion, which just seems crazy to us. so cecile, it s apparent that the republican party has had an obsession for seven to eight years with obamacare. from your point of view, what is their apparent obsession with planned parenthood? i think it s a great question. i mean, one of the problems we hav
reports this past march. now we know one of the kablgts was about the transition. does this raise concerns for you? no, it doesn t. i have to disagree with my friend tony that there s smoke. i think there s smoke that the left and critics of trump swrb looking for just isn t gearing. i think after ten months of investigation and the leaks that were going on, swb would have been saying something right now. there s always this inwento, oh, there s something around the corner. i would be concerned if he had not been meeting with sbler national leaders including business home. as someone who went to moscow on bliss in december, the american businesses over there and the russian businesses alike are very concerned about the new administration, what would it mean to our relations, would there be an opportunity to review the sanctions and can we start doing business together again?
to the secretary of the army, a request for a final determination. we believe, at least through our investigation, what we had seen and quite frankly not seen swb that general flynn, again, more than a year ago, back during the obama administration, when he took money for appearances from the russians and also in turkey, that he was supposed to seek permission and receive permission in order to take payments. we see no such paperwork. we can t prosecute people in the house of representatives, they don t give us handcuffs. so we refer that to the department of the army for their final determination. but that was weeks ago. if he is filling out new forms with the pentagon, with the army, or whom ever, shouldn t he be up front and reveal all those specific contacts he had, money he received from foreign governments?
reporting has built, this is surprising in many ways, rights, that they actually did this? reporter: it is surprising. in comey s briefings, it stands in contrast to efforts in recent months by the fbi and by u.s. intelligence agency to acts to try to distance themselves from that dossier. usa law enforcement and intention officials have said repeatedly that u.s. investigators did their own work separate from the dossier to support their findings that russia tried to meddle in the presidential election in favor of donald trump. comey hasn t mentioned the dozeny in lawmakers briefings. certainly in some but not all. right. if they got fisa and are using dossier to do so and they get this warnlt to wiretap carter page. would he have been aware that this was happening, that swb was
