intelligence member eric swa we will. plus exposed alleged cases of sexual harassment in the halls of congress. we ll dig into secret settlements and talk to congresswoman sheri boos tose. and out of the shadows, meet the woman who won the first ever sexual harassment case against a congressman sft what did sthe get for her trouble? little more than a apology. but first, the spres lashing out at the fbi, the federal agency who employs more than 30,000 men and women who keep our nation safe the. president promised to bring its reputation back, said it was in tatters, the worse in the history. before that the president seemingly rewrote the narrative of why flynn was fired tweeting, quote, i had to fire general flynn because he lied to the vice president and the fbi. he has pled guilty to those lies. it s a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. there was nothing to hide. but in march, he tweeted, quote, mike flynn should ask for immunity and that this is a
podesta a heads-up about a hearing that would involve the clinton emalinvestigation. i don t recall the other communications. but at the time it was under scrutiny and criticized there was any communication between the department of justice and clinton s campaign chairman at a time when the department of justice was investigating her use of a private e-mail server. wolf? all right, pamela brown, with the breaking news. gloria borger, dana bash, jim sciutto, our whole team over here. it s sort of a very significant development because you don t know. you open up an inspector general investigation like this, it can go for a week. it can go for a month, a year. you don t know where it ends up. in that last line, the inspector general will consider other issues that may arise during the course of the review. once you open up an investigation like this, it can go anywhere. i think this is an agency that may be trying to get its reputation back, wolf. during the campaign, there were lots
high ground in what is acceptable behavior for people who capture our folks? no, not at all. first of all, what isis does is behead people, they carry out the most brutal type of attacks, rapes, sex slaves, all of that, and for anyone to be comparing what the cia did to what isis does, what al qaeda does is just wrong. i think we caused tremendous damage to the u.s. reputation but this is a self-inflicted wound with a very partisan, selective report which i think does a terrible injustice to the men and women of the cia. and regardless of how one feels about the report, i think on both sides there is an agreement that this does harm to the cia, which is this, good heavens, they do entire tv series around the brave men and women of the cia, so where does the cia go to get its reputation back, whether you feel it s been unfairly taken away from them or not? how does it fix this?
the cia go to get its reputation back, whether you feel it s been unfairly taken away from them or not? how does it iffix this? it would be helpful if the president of the you state, leaders of the house and the senate came forward and gave the cia credit for what they did. it s difficult to overcome the damage by senator feinstein in her report. i think it s helpful to speak out and say the cia did an excellent job and the cia operated under the most extenuatin extenuating circumstances that they re responsible for stopping attacks against the united states and we have to stop the self-loathing. this is to me the burden is on us, the burden is on people in positions of influence to stop hating ourselves and to stop hating those who we ask to do the job and so listen, i feel for the men and women out there in the cia who they re wondering if they re doing today what they re told to do five years from now what s going to happen. for instance president obama, i support his drone policy
easing money, and now it s time to take it off the respirator, and everybody is worried how that will go. i believe and i think andy and i may not completely agree, which will lead to more interesting discussion i think what bernanke did over the last five years is generally what s exactly right. this is what the fed is needed for. this is what is needed when an economy goes into freefall. if a patient has a heart attack, you get out the defibrillator, you don t just let him lie on the sidewalk flapping around. i think he did the right thing. if that s the case, though, and the fed has done everything right, andy, where does alan greenspan go to get his reputation back, what office? because actually, ben bernanke has been far more free with money supply than alan greenspan ever was, and yet congress remember those hearings? everybody was blaming alan greenspan for a housing boom. so much more permissive under bernanke than greenspan ever was. but bernanke was facing a real cr
