during the obama administration, we wouldn t have had all of the bumbles that john brennan was entangled in, everything from helping design the lies about the benghazi video, bungling the investigation of bright, the fast and furious, the underwear bomber, and even going so far as to downplay recidivism of the gitmo terrorists and being soft on jihad. the fact that these guys have been so invested, and their ideological agenda, and their partisanship that they were not doing their job and protecting americans around the world and at home. sean: i mean this with all of my heart. michelle has come too. the biggest offender of law enforcement my entire career. i wantt to remind people, this s nott rank-and-file intelligence, cia, fbi. this is not. in any way, shape, manner, or form. it s the upper echelon and the doj. john brennan is doing
his emotional state to me is more important than whether he s miles an ho mirandaized in this situation. we re past the emergency exception that officers would be able to use of invoking miranda. if there s potential threat officers can question without worrying about that. we saw with the new york bomber that same situation where you had highly skilled officers asking him with that exception. we might be past that right now but at some point and tom can speak to this as well he will have to be presented in court. we re kind of in that portion of the investigation now where you want to gather that information as quickly as you can. similar to the underwear bomber in 2009, he had to go for medical treatment because he burned his legs trying to set off the bomb on the plane. in that situation, they transport him for medical assistance and that stops the clock on the emergency exception. when he s done with the doctors,
every terrorist group worldwide against us. guarded by 1500 u.s. troops, 41 prisoners remain at guantanamo bay, among them alleged 9/11 planner khalid sheikh mohammed. 730 detainees have been transferred to 59 country since 2002. 122 former detainees returned to the battlefield. in the past, we have foolishly released hundreds and hundreds of dangerous terrorists. only to meet them again on the battlefield. including the isis leader al-baghdadi. former state department officials worked tirelessly to close gitmo say terrorists are more likely to be convicted in a federal court. the shoe bomber, the underwear bomber, the boston marathon bombers all tried in federal court, all convicted, all housed in the federal
square bomber in 2010. civilians who attacked the underwear bomber on christmas day on a plane. every day folks have a role in this. i don t think it s the place of the media or authorities anywhere to try to down play the obvious motivations of some of these attacks. . shannon: great to see you and merry christmas. president trump pointing to new evidence that the tax bill he just signed into law this morning is working faster than he the optimist in chief expected. more on that. what a difference a few weeks can make. not long ago that health care reform failed and the president was barely on speaking terms
this happened, thousands of people go down this passageway every single day. and when you have any type of explosive device detonates in that confined area in the middle of rush hour as he pointed out, you could have a great number of casualties and possibly fatalities. you re absolutely right. we were lucky in that it did not happen the way it could have. however, there are so many questions why a pipe bomb, why there, where did he come from? is that where he originated his journey in the morning? obviously his motivation, what with the means? and i talked about a low tech device. the boston marathon bombing that used a pressure cooker but again, use low explosive black powder. of course, with the underwear bomber that his device went off in a way that did not take down the plane and so the question is what was this guy really planning to do? was it his target or was he
