Factor Anderson News Today

Come out and what could he tell us that we dont already know? anderson, i was a prosecutor and worked on many cases where witnesses would get immunity, but only after they disclosed what they already knew, so right now i think a blanket immunity would be impossible. >> and trump tweeted out that he should ask for immunity, and that this is a witch hunt of historic proportions, obviously accusing it of being a witch hunt. but has the process evolved into on the house side such deep partisan polit...

Suspect are there between donald trump and team russia? >> you said they dont give immunity to innocent people, usually, but attorneys ask for it all the time. it doesnt necessarily mean somebody committed a crime. >> no, it doesnt, but generally innocent people are not seeking immunity, but i want to know what is he afraid that could come out and what could he tell us that we dont already know? anderson, i was a prosecutor and worked on many cases where witnesses would get immunity, but only af...

Working with the white house where the presidents campaign right now is under federal, criminal and counterintelligence investigation. so people are counting on us to do our job right now and not work with subjects of this investigation. >> do you have any doubt there was collusion between nunes and the white house on this subject, or at the very least the white house knew about this subject, and whether nunes was winning or not. the white house -- president trump had telegraphed that something ...

Fabricate a device and then test it against screening technology, to see how much progress they make, see how they can get something through this kind of technological screening, it is not just isis and iraq, it is al qaeda and yemen, all the intelligence is pointing to all of these groups really stepping up their efforts to try and attack commercial aviation, even aviation coming into the united states, and they came close to an airplane landing in detroit to somebody detonating a bomb on their...

All of this? >> very concerned. if they managed to make batteries, anderson, into explosives or hide explosives or in this case probably chemicals, a mixture of chemicals. that is a new development, never been seen before. and getting through airport security is fairly easy. i mean, explosives -- emanate nitrates, easy to detect in countries like amman, and if they find a way to mix chemicals inside a battery in a laptop, its almost undetectible. >> clarissa, you follow these terrorist groups wh...

Technology. it allows them to fabricate a device and test them against screening technology. not just isis and iraq, it is al qaeda and yemen, all the intelligence is pointing to all of these groups really stepping up their efforts to try and attack commercial aviation, even aviation coming into the united states. al qaeda in yemen, the underwear bomber came very close as an airport landed in detroit to someone detonating a bomb on their body. so this is all part of the reason youre seeing the g...

They said look for a predicate to be laid down here, that is when nunes started talking about incidental collection, the white house already had this information. >> and anderson, the fact youre asking me this right now demonstrates why its a problem. just the perception of a conflict of interest can be as bad as a conflict of interest, that is why i think the responsible thing to do for the chairman is to step aside. also anderson, when you talk about telegraphing something that is coming, that...

Partisan supreme coupolitics thd be granted immunity? i mean not that he revealed anything, but clearly there are a lot of politics agent s goin >> i believe, anderson, we should stay away from politics, im home right now, and my constituents are asking what did you do to avoid the russian interference in the campaign? so really we have to take the white house out of our investigation. and right now the way they are working with chairman nunes, they have inserted themselves into the independent ...

Strong propaganda campaign which did not focus so much on their brutality in the early days but on the idea of this brother hood of coming together and working to help the muslim people. they presented themselves as gods warriors, as heros. here you can be a rock star. that message, anderson, was all too alluring. >> it was appealing. we have seen people with petty criminal backgrounds and who were kind of losers. it made them part of something larger as completely important as it is. >> it does...

Just the perception of a conflict of interest can be as bad as a conflict of interest, that is why i think the responsible thing to do for the chairman is to step aside. also anderson, when you talk about telegraphing something that is coming, that has a ring of familiarity to me, because that is the same thing we saw discussed on john podesta, so again, whether they are unwittingly using the tactics the russians orchestrated, well see that play out in the white house. >> thank you. joining us...
