You might have a situation in which white house counsel was aware of this complaint and aware of concerns and was also involved with giving directions to members of the directorate of intelligence to really do something quite irregular with respect to transferring the transcript on to the code word system. at the same time, joke, i am very surprised to hear from the department of justice that attorney general barr did hear about the contents of this call until reportedly weeks after it happened....

Not leap to the conclusion. it doesnt look good. thats why were talking about it. it doesnt give the american people confidence or some section of the population confidence that everything was done in exactly the right way. >> if you look at the whistle-blower complaint which everybody can go online and read for themselves, the very first paragraph talks about an allegation about president trump who obviously works at the white house. and an allegation about attorney general barr who obviously r...

Call doesnt get out. >> that rough transcript was eventually released and nothing was redacted, so there couldnt be have been much sensitive information. sam, give us some connect hetex what do we need to know? >> while the white house might have tried to scrub the digital record of this call readout from the top secret system and transfer it to the code word system, they cant scrub the verbal readouts. allegedly in the whistle-blower complaint, there were numerous officials at the state departm...

John? >> reporter: good afternoon to you, dana. little more on the idea of that transcript being moved to a highly secured compute eur system. that is one of the central revelations in the whistleblowers complaint. the whistleblower saying for reasons of wanting to lock down that transcript, it was moved to a code word protected computer system. a short time ago, catherine herridge talked to the former chief of staff at the national security council and he talked to her about it being standard o...

High security systems that i told exist are one called the top secret information system and one above that which is code word for where information about covert operations are usually housed. might be unusual for a transcript to be housed on that computer. also, was it standard operating procedure for the white house to archive transcripts of calls on that system or is this a one off? catherine herridge interviewed fred flights, the former chief of staff of the national security council who sai...

Such as covert action. but a former senior national security council sill official who worked at the trump white house questions whether the process was unusual. >> when i handle transcripts of presidential phone calls of foreign leaders when i was at the nsc last year we put the transcripts into a very secure top secret code word system. i dont see any difference from what this alleged whistleblower is claiming. i dont think there was any change. >> during this weeks congressional testimony, th...

To this. the national security advisers -- john bolton, who is now a private citizen, by the way, would have been involved in this process. the director of the situation room, the senior director of intelligence, not to mention anybody who originally got that transcript. so at this point there are multiple people within the white house -- the director of intelligence that transferred it to that code word system, that could be called as witnesses as part of this impeachment inquiry even as we don...
