Country, but in the world. the department of defense, the department of homeland security, and the justice department exploring the use of them and you know, what could have been the implications if they did something here? you know, if this, if someone had said yes, what direction would that have sent the post election period and in the country and sort of hard to think. so thats why this stood out to us because it directly involves trump and it involves those institutions that make the united ...

Obviously not in line with their constitutional duty to apply -- to appear for a subpoena, and the work of the committee is really going on with a lot of valuable information from people in the former administration. >> a lawyer for stewart rhodes was on cnn today talking about his clients belief that the president had a plan to invoke the insurrection act and seize voting machines. theres obviously some pretty stunning reporting in "the new york times" about donald trumps hands-on role not just...

I absolutely believe if theyre putting it out on television, its because theyre seeing it in the intelligence. >> you worked at the cia and dod. you have experience in knowing how knew this is. my question for you is, as youre getting all this out there, so putin risks being exposed as a liar, saying he wasnt going to invade and then he invades. does he care about being exposed as a liar on the national stage? >> i think his achilles heel is what his own people think of him. the more it seeks in...

Massive european war we havent seen in generations? could it unfold like that and something grinding on month after month in a way we just havent seen in a long time? >> well, im sure that a lot of what the white house is saying is based on the intelligence that theyre getting about russian preparations. and if d.o.d. is looking at that intelligence based on their planning system, i think theyre probably looking at what weaponry is being put into place, what forces are put into place, where -- a...

Was personally involved in pressing attorney general, the department of homeland securitys, number two, and oh silhouette the d.o.d. to try to help him get involved in this re-running of the elections, or seizing and raising questions about swing state elections. but, ultimately, thats where the committees headed. how much was donald trump pushing, for example, this particular scheme? or encouraging it? or laying some more tender for their ideas? how much was he advising in? how much do you know...

Stopped short about testifying to calm rotations with the president because the legal team had cited executive privilege. that seems like an easy fight for the committee. joe biden gets final say on whats covered by executive privilege. he said january 6th is incredibly important to the national security and he wont exert his privilege over those matters, at least written communications, and they have authorized the release. so it seems that are taking this one step further, trying to get access...

Final say so on what is covered by executive privilege. he has already said that january 6th is incredibly important to the national security, and he will not exert executive privilege over those sorts of matters, at least the written communications, and the supreme court has already authorized their release. so it seems like the committee can go this one step further, trying to get access to the actual conversations with the former president, because that is, of course, the linchpin. getting hi...

We want to know how closely donald trump was entwined in this. we now know, and we reported in our book, how hard he was pushing every level that he could to try to block this. now we learned through additional reporting, that he was directly involved in -- the department of insecurities -- and also the d.o.d. to get him -- for seizing, and raising questions about swing state elections. but ultimately that is where the committee is headed. how hard was donald trump pushing, for example, this sch...

Excuse me, is it possible that europe might be pat of the combat zone tax exclusion in which troops in europe would not pay taxes on their pay? >> jeff, the president has made clear that u.s. troops are not going to be fighting in ukraine. the troops that we added to the already 80,000 that are based in europe are going to reassure our allies and our partners to deter aggression against the alliance, to conduct some joint training. so, i know of no decision, or no need to change the parameters o...

Possible domestic extremist threat. of course. that has come after the agency on monday released a bulletin sounding the alarm on the proliferation of false or misleading narratives. what does that mean? dhs of course doesnt say. they dont want to actually give you facts, which is why the center to advance security is demanding that dhs turn over records showing how they make these determinations. as dhs conjures up phony threats, the pentagon embraces a real one. the dod actually tweeted someth...
