Theyre involved in a laundry list of racketeering activities. they use drugs. they manufacture drugs. they sell drugs. they steal motorcycles. they extort people. they rape rob and murder. these are not good individuals. and, you know the assertions that they make that theyre just some fraternal group out for a, you know get together is ludicrous. >> is this a uniquely texas problem? or are these gangs in every state? >> yeah virtually every state. we have outlaw motorcycle gang activity and of ...

Community who was very angry he broke the rules, because suddenly youre confronted with a new scenario. in his speech that was done politically and not cleared with the national security establishment, what does he say? there was a fire fight. bin laden resisted. you dont want to say you just went and murdered the guy. we captured a treasure trove of documents that are going to inform us like never before. he talks about the body was appropriately buried. nobody was worried about a body in the o...

Walled complex. with the official story constructed to protect the asset. nbc news has long been pursuing leads about a walk-in and about what pakistani intelligence knew. but both assertions were published this weekend by investigative reporter see moore hirsch. his story raises other questions about the white house account of the bin laden raid. the white house and other officials officials deny the story. and insist knowledge was confined for-to-a very small circle of senior u.s. officials. >...

Sentence was wrong. >> joe, jump in. >> i was just going to say, andrea, if this werent sy hirsch, but he has a bit of a history himself with questionable claims. >> i was just going to say, were conflating two things here. the nbc report is not contradicting the white house version and is not in agreement with hirsch on most of the principal assertions. his main assertion is that the u.s. worked with pakistan and that the raid was a joint venture. thats absolutely not true according to everyone...

In the original scenario because that was all going to take place seven, ten days later. they were supposed to take the body out of there, because the pakistanis wanted it out of there. so once the president made the speech the community had to gear around almost overnight into a new scenario. and thats why if you remember in the first couple days there were all these stories later retracted about bin laden had an ak-47. >> there was a lot of assertions made about how bin laden died that were la...

Been told. an nbc news team cites two intelligence sources confirming that the year before the may 2011 raid that killed osama bin laden, a so-called walk-in asset told the cia why bin laden was hiding. the story the u.s. government has told about the killing of bin laden has always centered around the cia tracking bin laden to his walled compound in pakistan by meticulously tracing his courier. citing those two sources, plus a third at the pakistani government knew where bin laden was hiding al...

Into a new scenario. and thats why if you remember in the first couple days, there were all these stories later retracted about bin laden had an ak-47. >> there was a lot of assertions made about how bin laden died that were later changed by the white house, quite frankly, and explicitly. >> go ahead. it was written of the fog of war. it was a desperate attempt to try and make sure everything the president said was covered. there were papers, certainly, in the abbottabad. there was no computer t...

Bin laden has always centered around the cia tracking bin laden to his walled compound in pakistan by meticulously tracing his courier. nbc news reports further citing those two sources, plus a third at the pakistani government knew where bin laden was hiding all along. nbc news chief foreign affairs correspondent, andrea mitchell, is part of the investigative team that has been running down this blockbuster reporting. well talk to her in just a moment. but first, those two major assertions, the...

Hershs reporting. one of the assertions at the heart of it all the pakistani government knew and koortsed with or had to cooperate with the u.s. government on the raid. but what analysts have in the short time since the story has been out there poked hole through this the premise this would have had to entail a cover story that would have lasted year and years, that would have made the pakistanis look terrible and bad for them ultimately. earlier the national security council did respond to the ...

Inaccuracies and baseless assertions in this piece to fact check each one. part of the problem for hersh is that much of his reporting seems to rely on a single unnamed source. thats making it easy for his critics to knock it down. it doesnt necessarily mean its not true. it just makes it easy to knock down. but as it is with so many conspiracy theories the fact that the official washington is saying so much of it is wrong and they wont respond to it simply makes people who want to believe in it...
