had to take that action. and then once the order was given to transfer this document on to the codeward system, a member of what we call the directorate of intelligence which is part of the national security counsel would have had to actually implement that action. so we are not talking about a huge group of people. the common thread here is that they all reported to john bolten. he is now a private citizen. i think there are a lot of questions about why so many people under his direct leadership took a series of steps to cover up this kind of activity. and it is worth noting that it is prohibited under executive order to classify information to cover up personal embarrassment or violation of the law. not to mention of course the potential misuse of intelligence systems in order to hide embarrassment related to the president. >> appreciate both of you. thank you so much. coming up next, testimony from the man who did not follow the law and give the whistleblower complaint to congress.
