rape charges. later that day, trump friend and brexit leader, nigel f ar parks ge, asked him what he was doing there? he said he couldn t remember. then asked if he was visiting assange, i never discuss where i go or who i see. unquote joining me now former clinton campaign joel ben ison, start with you malcolm. cia has issued this statement about these documents that was released by wikileaks. we have no comment on the authenticity. targeting individuals here at home including our fellow americans and cia does not do so.
cia, the american cia or the russians that we should be choosing the russians is insane. speaking of what joel just said, malcolm, you do already have in bed with wikileaks. you do have both wikileaks and breitbart in europe trying actively right now to impact elections and they don t want to impact them toward the more western candidates, they want to direct them toward the trump cloenz? i think it s fascinating that nigel met with julian assange. you know he did. he doesn t go dropping in for tea. he was there meeting with him and the question is what kind of coordination is faraje doing now. he is now messenger boy for donald trump? is he going to coordinate
the american public shubl deeply troubled. so the truth of that statement from your point of view, malcolm is the cia in the general routine business of using our cell phones and tvs to spy on americans? no. they re not. absolutely not. and neither is the national security agency and believe me, i know both these agencies. they just don t do it. it is a legal land mine and there is not a warrant available on america citizen as a target, you are hammered. even with inadvertent exposure. we don t play games with american citizens. on the other hand, if you are a counter terrorism target, a counterintelligence target where we think you work for a foreign power and they get a warrant on you, then the entire process will come down on your head. the key thing here is that everything that s done in the intelligence community comes down to a human being.
we don t have time for the american public and wikileaks is trying to stoke this paranoia and the fun part about it is, on behalf of russian intelligence. why should we believe a thing that this guys says? it steals documents and exposes them and he just benefited isis and al qaeda and everybody else who we could have been collecting against. you and i talked about this offline. there is this thing where wikileaks managed to make themselves heroic, but also for the longest time on the left and sort of made themselves heros of transparency. talk about julian assange, is he even a liberal and is he an advocate of transparency or is an anarchist? to piggy back on what malcolm said, of course we don t capture intelligence on u.s. persons, look, joy, these things have real impact.
laying on the floor of the apartment. that is how they verify that. they know. they problem see another guy moving around, may be trying to hide, crawling on the floor, maybe wounded, like malcolm said, he might have a suicide vest on a really good chance. they have time on their side at the moment. if all the citizens are evacuating. they will play it slow. they will win. if it s him, it s huge intelligence development. but they have gotten all this intelligence from all the great work they have done over the last few days. they did 100. the raids. they have the citizens behind them. when you are working cases like these. i was the public is behind you. the public wants to support you. the public was behind the pol e police. they are getting tips all the time and getting right on these
