compartalized information level xeerns clearances. but if the president doesn't want to give you the president, he's not going to give you the brief. that level, i'm not sure. what we know is he finally got his permanent clearances that the white house has been assuring everybody now for a year was definitely just on the horizon. >> just to be abundantly clear, from your reporting, this is not a waiver from the president. this is the fbi doing its work and finally, after quite a while, clearing him. >> yeah. the fbi -- well, the fbi doesn't issue the clearances. the fbi extended to -- there is a security office that's staffed actually not by politicals at the white house. they send the clearance form on to the background check on with -- and flag things that they fink are a problem or not a problem. and then it is reviewed and the clearances are given to the security office. >> matt apuzzo, thank you so much for coming on. good work.
they're doing their job properly by attending to his needs, protecting him, looking out for him, clearing him, telling him who they voted for and everything else. it seems to be something he does frequently is test everybody out and say are you with me? are you here for me? and nobody else. not understanding that that's a grossly inappropriate thing to say to somebody from the justice department. >> many though in congress are with the president and are doing his bidding now by talking about releasing the memo, talking about the missing texts between peter strzok and lisa page, and talking about a secret society that was floated apparently in a text message, not homer simpson stonecutters. there was a problematic text lost in that. it was that peter strzok insinuated that he didn't want to be part of the special counsel because in his gut there was no there there. he was only interested, the implication being, in taking down the president. james galliano, former retired

this is the president of the united states issuing b i believe his first pardon in office and the first pardon in office using his power to pardon goes to none other than sheriff joe, the extremely controversial figure in maricopa county in arizona who was convicted for refusing to stop detaining latinos for violation of their civil rights. the president tonight granting a presidential pardon. the former sheriff, talking about his self-less public service after serving in the army, his bio, clearing him of that charge. we know that was something he essentially promised the other night when in phoenix and incredibly, incredibly controversial decision that will be faced with tremendous backlash. he just lost re-election by ten points in an area despite the fact that it was quite republican. because of u the fact largely he was perceived as being a lawless
arrested. it's about one in five. and that's even rarer it goes to prosecution, one in ten. everybody involved in law enforcement thought that this was a very credible case and moved it forward. in the end he was convicted. he was convicted. >> just to be clear, the grand jury in this case, indicted him, but he was convicted of something lesser? >> right. this happens all the time. it's very difficult to get a conviction for acquaintance rape particularly among students. . this is why prosecutors raurly take the case. the fact the prosecutor took the case shows a great deal of evidence this actually happened. and, again, to be clear, he -- he was convicted of, nonsexual assault, a misdemeanor and not of camilla, it was of her friend? >> correct. >> i'd like to say to law professors where have they been? if 98 times out of 100 women are telling truth and there's an epidemic of one in five getting
cases. last august, sam, a defensive end at baylor university, was sentenced to six months in jail, and ten years' probation, for raping a fellow student in 2013. that's a much different judgment than baylor reached when it examined the case itself. acore cording to an investigation, the school didn't even see the hospital rape kit before, quote, clearing him. baylor university president ken starr since issued a statement, announcing the school has hired an outside firm to examine bay already's handling of the case. and just last month, uft cla punter was arrested on three counts of rape stemming from alleged assault of a student he met aan offcampus house party. in that case the university immediately suspended him from the team. >> they have to make certain athletics is not operating different friday music, physics, anything else. >> reporter: the chief medical officer for ncaa. if a high profile athlete is
going to wand your kids to go there. i would be very happy if five years from now, we could say the culture of sport has been so transformed that parents know when their kids are being recruited that they're going to a safe place. >> he calls that his, quote, cultural dream. we had a long conversation with dr. hainline, and i have to give him credit. he was open about the depth of the problem here. a lot of colleges do depend on millions of dollars that their football or basketball programs bring in. sometimes it really is a player, a quarterback, a point guard, who can make all the difference between winning and losing, between the coach keeping his job or not. so there's just an inherently huge financial conflict of interest in a school taking a rape allegation seriously, and potentially stopping that gravy train. here's the real kicker. the u.s. senate put out a report just last year that found that 20% of schools, it is policy to have the athletic department,
of the rape, the incident was never reported by either of those departments to fsu's title ix coordinator. kinsman said she was subject to discrimination because they decided not to investigation and dress winston's rape of plaintiff for two years. fsu disagrees. they state, quote, no appropriate person at fsu had actual knowledge of the assault until november 8th, 2013. kinsman attorney declined to be interviews for this piece. winston's attorney never responded to our request. but winston is far from the only college athlete accused of rape, and fsu is far from the only school accused of falling short in handling these types of cases. last august, sam, a defensive end at baylor university, was sentenced to six month in jail and ten years probation for raping a fellow student in 2013. that's a much different judgment than baylor had reached when it
>> yet, some of their stories are in the public record. some did go through investigations as well as court cases. even if they rejected wanting to be interviewed on camera, why didn't you include their version that came out in public documents? >> we included -- actually, what we did is went through thousands of pages, you know, in making this. we corroborated everything that was in this. what we really -- one of the things we really wanted to show that hadn't been shown before is the perspective of the survivors. we thought that was very, very important. >> last week, 19 harvard law professors reviewed the case on appeal. issued a press release stating that, quote, there was never any evidence that mr. winston used force, nor were there any charges that he used force. no evidence whatsoever was introduced add trial that he was the one responsible for the ineeb rhbriated state of the wo portrayed as his vimctims and nr
examined the case itself. according to an investigation by texas monthly, the school didn't even see the hospital rape kit before, quote, clearing him. baylor university president ken star has since issued a statement announcing the school has hired an outside firm to examine baylor's handling of the case, and just last month, ucla punter was arrested on three counts of rape stemming from an alleged assault of a student he met at an off-campus house party. in that case, the university immediately suspended him from the team. >> they have to make certain that athletics is not operating differently from music, from physics, from anyone else. >> this man is the chief medical officer for the ncaa. >> if a high profile athlete is accused of a crime, it is in the school or the program's best interest to have that go away. how do you resolve that with the fact that you want hopefully as an educational institution, to see justice done? >> what you're getting to the heart of is culture.
