I want to go to blake burman on what is in there. Hi, blake. Reporter trish, the threepage memo on the dossier compiled by chris sister steele, a dossier paid for by the dnc and Clinton Campaign was used as an essential component to get a fisa warrant surveilance of a onetime, former member of the trump team, the Trump Campaign team, carter page. The essential crux of this 3 1 2 page memo, that without this dossier, there would have been no fisa warrant, thus raising questions whether or not this was one big surveillance abuse. The, memo goes on to say, and i quote here, Deputy Director Andrew Mccabe testified before the committee in 2017 that no surveillance warrant would have been sought from the court, the fisc, without the steele dossier information. The memo takes issue with an article from yahoo news used as part of the fisa warrant application process saying quote, the article does not corroborate the steele dossier because it is derived from information leaked by steele himself
Worst kind of behavior from iran. Generally it wont prevent all of their bad behavior. When it comes to the tough sell we welcome the scrutiny and even skepticism of everybody across the country and across the world as they consider this agreement. We continue to be confident, upon looking at the details once they have been released that we will be able to make a strong case about how the president havent just achieved his goal but how the International Community has achieved the important goal of preventing them from obtaining a nuclear weapon. When it comes to a tough sell i think the part will be on the part of the republicans as they try to take the deal. It will be a tough sell to say we should back away from an international agreement. Why should we throw away the best possible avenue for preventing iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. That will be a tough sell to suggest we should undermine the sanctions that have been put in place thus far. It will be a tough a tough sell to sa
Lgbtq plus community and i know that gay marriage was just legalized in all 50 states and i dont under mine that. Yeah thats awesome. [ applause ] but i was wondering what you specifically were going to do about antidiscrimination laws in the workplace. Because i dont want to be able to get married to someone of the same gender but also be discriminated against in my workplace. Thank you. Thank you. [ applause ] well youre right. The supreme courts decision was an extraordinary historic milestone. And i think its worth if you have any interest in this looking at this decision. Of course its a constitutional decision. But more than that its a decision about how we treat each other, how we respect each other, how we acknowledge that as Justice Kennedy said people shouldnt have to be lonely. People can have relationships and love one another and on and on. It was a quite moving decision to me. But you put your finger on the next big challenge, and that is discrimination. When i was in the
Us to prevent iran from obtaining a Nuclear Weapon is through principle diplomacy and agreement thats structured exactly like this one, that requires iran to take some significant steps to curtail their Nuclear Program and to agree to have those steps be rigorously verified by the International Community. Ash carter is going to be in israel next week. Hes going to be asking sort of what the israelis need. What if the israelis ask for these bunkerbusting bombs and equipment that would allow them to do this bombing grade on their own. How would the u. S. Respond to those requests . I dont want to preview those conversations at this point. As a general matter, i can tell you that part of the message that secretary carter will be delivering when he travels to israel, and i believe this will be his first trip as secretary of defense to israel, that the message hell be delivering is that the United States and president obama himself is committed to strengthening the Security Cooperation rela
Is a five day difference. This is amazing coincidence to me. I think it is more than a coincidence. I want to put up on a screen a directive sent out by the chief Technology Officer of the irs. If we could get that on the screen. And this is the directive that went out to managers, is that correct, telling them not to reace the erase the data. Correct. This went out on may 22nd, 2013. When were the taped erased at the irs. On or about march 4th, 2014. So about eight months later. And is this if we look at the highlighted part on here it said do not destroy, wipe, reuse any of the existing backup tapes for email or archiving or other information for irs personal computers. Did that go to managers that were at the facility where the tapes were erased . It did. And there was a lot of discussion that we captured in our investigation by capturing the managers emails over what mullholland meant by this directive. So what did they say they thought it meant when you talked to them . They belie
