Memorable quotes:
"Within the United States government we are developing a case [on Trump / Russia] and the intelligence has to become evidence."
AND
"The Revolutionary War went from 1775 to 1783. There are things you are going to have to be patient for."
TRANSCRIPT
M: Those armadas, you know, they block up the
One Oh One.
S: Malcolm, as a former Navy guy, can you
imagine you being on one of those ships?
M: Yes.
[LAUGHTER] in situations like that- naval movement and deployment are
often impacted by politics but I think this is an exception here. What we were told was the group was sailing
into the Sea of Japan and apparently they continued their regular deployment,
joint naval exercises with Australia and are no where near Japan That
information is routinely released, it has to do with orders-
S: At any rate, I think as you've been tweeting,
this is an incredibly dangerous situation.
M: Well it's dangerous because now North Korea knows
the limits the administration will go to to mask anything, but on the other
hand the administration is young, they like to talk before they get the facts,
and this has now bit them. What you're going to see now is the battle group
turn north very quickly and cut off operational practices that it really
needs. But carriers go towards Japan all
the time. But they've taken away any
credibility of this threat.
S: Malcolm, thanks for calling in. Trump won’t comment on whether we sabotaged the
North Korea missile test, Obama started the use of electronic warfare that may
have caused it, what do you know about that?
M: Well I personally don’t know anything about
it but I know how these things work.
That report mentioned electronic methods, not cyber, which is getting
into computers, the control system is programmed to fail. Electronic methods are jamming or
interference with the telemetry. I don't
know. We're pretty good at that, we're
very good at it, in fact.
S: Problem is when you have a pathological liar in the White House you don’t know what
to believe. This is why it's dangerous
M: Sure, you can't bluff on something like
this. I was very concerned that the
North Koreans would place blame on the United States and take action. And they still might. If belief gets around that we destroyed that
missile-
S: I think it was North Korean thank you.
M: North Korea has the ability to back up any
threats we put out there. We really have
limited options or no options.
S: Question from a caller about Comey:
M: Well I think I've mentioned this before,
there are two sides of the FBI, the counter intelligence officers do
investigations that are extremely close hold.
I think Comey thought one side was politics, but this side was serious,
and he's never going to talk about anything serious in the blithe way he did
Hillary Clinton. But exposing anything
related to counter intelligence I think that's something he’ll take to his
grave.
Comey knew since July
about hacking and Americans being involved, and I think he thought this is the
last thing in the world I'm going to put out in the public domain.
S: The FBI used that information from the
dossier for the FISA warrant?
M: Well I think that you have to put that report
together with one we received in early January where the CIA briefed Donald
Trump and President Obama, that there was information inside the Steele dossier
that they had corroborated with their own intelligence. They had their own information in there that
was correct and came from A quality intelligence and those two pages still
stand, we don’t know what those two pages are.
Comey is not going
to talk about counter intelligence the way he would a regular gumshoe
investigation.
Conversation about
Moby
M: I said this on twitter a couple days
ago. Savvy consumers of intelligence,
the most important point is understand and know how to consume intelligence in
a smart way and how to know what's real and what is not real.
S: But we're finding the Trump administration
has been in collusion with Russia since day one.
M: I wrote about this seven months ago in my book, The Plot to Hack America and we talked
about this before, that the intelligence is not evidence.
Within the United
States government we are developing a case and that means that the intelligence
has to become evidence.
S: We're being told to be patient but seriously how
much longer can not just the country but the world take this?
M: You have to remember, the Revolutionary War went
from 1775 to 1783. There are things you are
going to have to be patient for. Richard
Nixon after they had the evidence, the impeachment took one or two months
before he resigned.
S: Malcolm one other question from a listener, about
Jill Stein, we've all seen her at that dinner next to Flynn and near Putin, what
do you think?
M: Well I wrote about that in the book too. She's from the Green party, she was anti
Trump but she also was more anti Democratic party and the Russians picked up on
that a long time ago. In Russia you have
a former leader of the KGB running a Mafia.
She has Michael
Flynn sitting on the right hand of Putin and three or four people down was Jill
Stein. Nance’s law (about
S: What's amazing is how micro targeted the Bernie
voter was to either vote for Stein or stay home and it was just the margin she
got that swung the election
M: It went from coincidence to coordination to cooperation.
They took
databases and microtargeted information, this is a pernicious threat. A lot came out in the briefing to Congress, especially
Clinton Watts’s testimony,
During the election,
all we talked about all summer was emails, emails that turned out to be nothing
but risotta recipes but were the knife in the heart of the Clinton campaign.
S: Malcolm, we'll talk to you again next
week.
