Worry about this any more. as an fbi counterintelligence agent, i cant think of anything else that would come up that would not cause more alarm at this point. this is a year and a half of behavior. >> and this then pushes that faithful decision, matt miller was here before saying he thinks that sort of formal move to open a counterintelligence inquiry was the bureaucratic forcing mechanism to push to get the special counsel protection of the investigation. does that make sense? >> i agree. when...

>> and cynthia, this didnt come, when you look at the broader counterintelligence investigation that the fbi opened up that the president is pushing back on, one of our contributors here talked about if you were an agent and looking at all these things, there were a number of things that led up to that moment from the perspective of these investigators that ultimately led to the fbi opening up this investigation. you can see some of them here. everything from the hackers targeting dnc staff, the...

Draft. sometimes the most important facts, the single most important details, are not filled in until years later. sometimes the secrets are buried so deep and other times whats staring us all right in the face is so uncomfortable that we try to look the other way. all of this is my way of asking what will the final draft say about president trump? we know what the incomplete rough draft says, it says theres something very fishy between trump and vladimir putin. people have been asking for month...

He draws there. this idea you can wait, i think a lot of progressives and activists feel like you got to get going quickly. >> all right. nia malika henderson, thank you. the government shutdown, a report of a counterintelligence inquiry into a sitting president, and reports that president trump has concealed details of his conversations with russian president vladimir putin. i will ask an author whos written about tyranny if hes concerned about the state of americas democracy. thats next. (bu...

Thank you very much for watching. a.m. joy starts right now. >> from everything i see has no respect for this person. >> well, thats because hed rather have a puppet as president. >> no puppet, no puppet. >> its clear. >> youre the puppet. >> its clear you wont admit -- >> no, youre the puppet. >> good morning, welcome to a.m. joy. there is probably nothing more triggering for trumps base than the suggestion that hillary clinton is right about something. but her prognosis in 2016 that trump was ...

From "the new york times" reporting and what we can all kind of take in is we dont know any conclusions from it. if this counterintelligence inquiry is still ongoing or was it dealt with when it started in 2017, folded into the mueller investigation, and we waiting for robert mueller, the special counsel, to ultimately conclude his probe to find out what came out of that. we just dont know. the president said if there had been anything to be found, it would have been made public. he insists ther...

Was something that was there, and, you know, we were compelled or the fbi was compelled in those instances to conduct an investigation to determine if it was unwitting or witting. the fact, you know, there was just so much of the activities that were out there, whether it was meetings by individuals associated with him, closely associated with him or his own behaviors, and it was before and after jim comeys dismissal. so in terms of the counterintelligence investigation itself, really relevant t...

That seem to benefit trump when he fired fbi director james comey, and when robert mueller was appointed special counsel. as you know, that counterintelligence probe was an aspect of the obstruction inquiry that was folded into muellers broader investigation of russian meddling in 2016, so it is unclear how long that counterintelligence probe went on. nonetheless, the white house is responding forcefully to news of its existence, sarah sanders saying this is absurd. james comey was fired because...

If the president was acting, as you said, knowingly. you can bet your last dollar that president trump somewhere on probably twitter will react to this story. we might even hear corruption there of the fbi. help us understand what it takes to get that point. head off preemptively some of these deep state corruption conspiracy tweets, statements, defenses that will come. >> sure. so, victor, lets go back to what josh campbell the former special assistant to james comey and a cnn law enforcement c...

Leading to the top. now its the president of the united states of america. griff: just to put this in perspective. what they did was wrote a headline based on an unnamed source who is a former law enforcement official apparently. they gave us this headline, look at that right there. right? shocking the fbi investigated if trump worked for the russians. worked for the russians. but then you go barreling down several paragraphs to read there was no evidence that they found. the investigation found...
