So he tells us "russia is the only country on earth that has the capacity to destroy the united states." thatsry absurd. nobody believes that. the chinese military is far, far more powerful than anything vladimir putin can do, not even close. milley does not and is lying about it, and it should make you nervous. why is he lying about that? people with oversight seemed to be on his side. this morning, tom cotton, republican senator from arkansas, came on "fox & friends" to talk about mark milley....

Dont like him responding to nancy pelosis calls. he gets his wife in in a tizzy and he decides he is going to win to everyone in nuclear weapons issue and he is going to tell them to come to me first? since when do they come to you first? you go to the present first. >> nancy pelosi is not the chain of command. how did that happen? >> i cant speak to that. >> that is the topic. >> the topic is whether or not -- >> i know. that is the part of the story. speak to richard. the floor is yours. >> bu...

We jump to conclusions. we believe every single headline. we believe every single report. sadly lately there have been a a lot of things that had to be backtracked were completely removed. i am confident that the general will not be court-martialed, has not committed treason, will remain in his position within the joint chiefs as he did in the prior administration. >> shannon: this is on the book. we await hearing from the general. "the washington post" had an opinion piece saying milley should ...

Of the nassar investigation and whether further federal investigation was needed? >> senator, there was in 2016 some dialogue about that. as we described in our report, the fbi policies dont require the level of detail in reporting to the headquarters unit that would, for example, put the responsibility directly on them to have notified state and local authorities. >> senator leahy. >> thank you, mr. chairman. im glad, director wray, youre here, but the conclusions we have here theyre troubling,

Judgment. >> i have to say some of the allegations seem farfetcheded to me. we dont want to jump to conclusions but well vet them and see what happened. >> the former national security advisor john bolton releasing this statement to us saying quote, mark milley is a staunch supporter of the constitution and rule of law. i have no doubt general milley consulted widely with colleagues on the national security counsel and others during this period. what bolton says he believes happened appears to h...

No discussion taken place whatsoever. so the chinese are reacting to some conclusions. i would imagine our knowledge of that is quite sensitive in terms of the intelligence itself. general milley is making a phone call to provide re-assurances, which is his job. i mean, hes executing his responsibility and doing it in concert with his own advisers and sharing that with the interagency. i dont know if they briefed the president on this phone call or not. i have no idea about that. not briefing th...

Suffer the consequences one way or the other. >> shannon: some of it sounds rather hard to believe. these are these authors, its their book. senator rand paul saying i dont care what you think of president trump, the chairman of the jc west working to subvert the military chain of command is exactly what we do not except for military leaders. he should be court-martialed if true. >> again, immediately people just jump to conclusions. my side dated with the same general with the former president ...

Headquarters follow up with its field offices about the status of the nassar investigation and whether further federal investigation was needed? >> senator, there was in 2016 some dialogue about that, but as we described in our report, the fbi policies dont require the level of detail and reporting to the headquarters unit that would, for example, put the responsibility directly on them to have notified state and local authorities. >> senator leahy? >> thank you, mr. chairman. im glad director w...

Ainsley: lets bring in arkansas g.o.p. senator tom cotton a member of the armed services committee. senator, you have to be just flabbergasted by this. were going to let you know if were planning to attack you? we will tell you when and where so you can get ready? >> well, ainsley, this book raises some serious concerns. i would say some of the allegations seem somewhat farfetched to me. general milley and secretary austin are going to be testifying in front of congress in just a few days. we wi...

0 i was never prompted. >> senator padilla? >> i think i had a female in the room at the olympic training center, but i cant say for sure. >> i feel like we all have the same people. >> if i recall, my direct communication was with a male in the room. >> okay. senator padilla? >> good morning. i want to start by thanking chairman durbin and all those who have made this hearing possible and to the panelists. thank you. thank you. thank you. thank you. i admire and respect each one of you for choo...
