the russia story is a total fabrication. >> this russia thing with trump and russia is a made up story. the entire thing has been a witch hunt. >> 13 russians indicted by robert mueller for meddling in the 2016 presidential election. >> russians also recruited and paid real americans. >> the goal here was simple, damage hillary clinton and elect donald trump. >> truly regret any additional pain this has caused.

>> the system clearly failed us. >> the doctors are doing a great job. >> i sent her to school yesterday, she was supposed to be safe. >> i don't really care what people who defend the second amendment have to say. their arguments are invalid unless they have experienced this. we have a lot to cover this morning. thanks for being with us. i'm victor blackwell. >> and i'm rene marsh. president trump spent more than a year calling it a hoax, a witch hunt and a total scam. but now special counsel robert mueller has indicted 13 russians for interfering with the 2016 election. >> the department of justice claims russian effort involved unwitting americans including trump campaign associates, but the president says these charges have vindicated him in the russia investigation. our other top story, the stunning admission from the fbi, the bureau says it failed to act on a tip about the florida school shooter and now some are

asking could that tip have prevented the made massacre that ended with the deaths ever 1of . >> but we start with new charges, allegations and denials in the russia investigation. abby phillip is here with us live this morning. you are getting some brand new reaction from the white house this morning? >> that's right. these 13 indictments make it very clear that russia did interfere in the 2016 election and today hr mcmaster reacted to this in munich. take a listen. >> as you can see with the fbi indictment, the evidence is now really in-condititrovertible an available in the public domain whereas in the past it was difficult to at contribute brute for a couple reasons. technically, it was difficult. but thenal you didn't want to divulge your intelligence capabilities. but now that this is in the

arena evof a law enforcement investigation, it will be very apparent to everyone. >> well, these comments from the president's top national security adviser come after months of president trump calling the investigation a witch hunt and a hoax. now, trump himself responded on social media yesterday to this indictment news, he wrote "the russia started their anti-u.s. campaign in 2014 long before i announced i would run for president. results of the elect were not impacted, the trump campaign did nothing wrong. no collusion." the president is right in part of that response in that that the efforts did start in 2014, but they heated up in the midst of 2016 when the russians were instructed to help president trump and hurt hillary clinton according to these indictment documents. deputy attorney general rod rosenstein also noted yesterday in his press conference that these indictment documents specifically do not indicate that there was any witting

collusion by americans and also that there was no evidence that there was a change to the outcome of the election. however, robert mueller special counsel investigation continues and we simply indo not know wha more there is to come. >> and there certainly feels that there is more to come. abby phillip, thank you. >> and let's go down to matthew chance in moscow. what has been the reaction from the kremlin to these indictments? >> reporter: well, there has been no reaction so far from the kremlin, but other russian officials have fallen back into the traditional russian response whenever they are confronted with allegations ever meddling of meddling and that is denial. the russian foreign minister speaking at a security conference under way right now in munich has described the allegations and the indictments as blather, and he said that he has not seen any facts to date

that would demonstrate that the russians intervened in any way or tried to manipulate the u.s. elections. so that has been the response of the russians. we're expecting to hear more of that kind of denial in the days ahead as the week begins here in this country. >> and tell us more, matthew, about the ira, the internet research agency, their role in what we saw outlined by the doj. >> this is the fascinating thing about these indictments because through what the ira did, the internet research agency, it paints a very vivid picture of exactly how it's alleged that the russians intervened and meddled in the u.s. political process. we're talking about things like setting up fake accounts of u.s. nationals, pretending they were u.s. nationals.

intervening in blogs to try to skew the debate one side are or the other. and also enter in the reaernsea agency used stolen identities of americans to do that. and of course was very well funded more than a million dollars every month in order to perpetuate these things. one of the more interesting things as well is that it used social media platforms to organize protests rallies for and against certain sort of hot issues in the united states. one organized in may of 2016, an anti-islam rally which caused some controversy at the time. and so the whole point of the internet research agency was it sow adiscord and chaos in american society. >> matthew, thank you so much. and let's bring in our cnn national security analyst, she served on president obama's

national security council. and also paul callan legal analyst. samantha, i want to start with you first. these indictments, the 13 russians, what do you think happens next in this investigation? >> i think we're probably going to see more indictments down the road for two reasons. two people are good at their job, vladimir putin and bob mueller. vladimir putin as donald trump pointed out in his tweet has launched an attack against the united states for years. and i think that we're really at the tip of the speer in terms of understanding the breadth and depth of how deeply russia penetrated our digital platforms like facebook and like twitter. we've seen both facebook and twitter revise upward their estimates of how many people russia was able to touch. so that i think we'll probably see more information come out and more names of people that were implicated in this ongoing welfare campaign. and again bob mueller is also

very good at his job. he has broad range of skillsets that are part of miss tehis tea. so i imagine again we'll see more indictments come forward. >> and the first hint of that is on the introduction of page one where it says defendants knowingly and intentionally conspired with each other with persons known and unknown to the grand jury to defwraud the united states. which means that they have more names there and those might be coming out soon. paul, let me come to you. the significance of the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein delivering this yesterday considering the context that most people heard his name and saw him leading up to this indictment? >> yeah, it was interesting that he took on that responsibility instead of mueller. of course he is the supervisor of mueller in the chain of command in the justice department. but this indictment, it is almost 40 pages in length, about

99 allegations, showing a very sophisticated heavily funded effort by the russians to penetrate the u.s. political system. and what struck me was what they did in the end, they parroted the issue approach of donald trump. they supported anti-immigrant, anti-black lives matters, anti-muslim messages in places around the country in an effort to shift the election to donald trump. now, the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein tried to say that there was no evidence that the election was influenced, but frankly, i don't know how he can say something like that given the fact that it was such a close election. a shift of as little as 37 or 38 electoral votes and hillary clinton would be president. so how can you possibly say that this multimillion-dollar sophisticated effort didn't shift the american election. i think this indictment is

strong evidence that possibly the election was shifted by russian interference. >> yeah, he said in response to a question, and i have the quote here, there are no allegations in the indictment of any effect on the outcome of the election. so no assertion from him that it didn't, but they are just not listed in the indictment, which may be an important distinction moving forward. >> i agree. >> and really what is so stunning about this indictment is just the level of detail. if you read it. and we actually have some sound from rod rosenstein yesterday. let's play that and talk about that on the other side. >> the russians also recruited and paid real americans to engage in political activities from both political campaigns and staged political rallies. >> so this was not just social media. these were real americans on mer american soil that they used in

this very sophisticated scheme here. samantha, can the intelligence community get a handle on this before the next reaction or is the horse already out of the barn? >> i think so and i hope so. this is espionage 101. there is recruitment of local assets. these are old spy tricks. vladimir putin just did a good job of modernizing them. and i do think this is the most detailed public account that we have to date of how russia has loun launched their ongoing attack. but we know that the department of homeland security and director of national intelligence just briefed state officials on cyber vulnerabilities. so i think information sharing is definitely under way and i hope we're not too late. >> paul, to you. the response from the white house, the response from the president, they released a statement to the white house --

the white house released a statement they said from the president which he says that it cannot allow those seeking to sow confusion and rancor, calling russia a bad actor. that is a major tonal difference from the president when he calls it a hoax, fake news. do you expect the president will be able to i guess keep up with the rhetoric that the white house is putting out on his behalf considering what we've heard from him about this investigation thus far? >> i think that it will be very difficult for the president because this idea that the whole russia interference in the american election was as he said a hoax and a witch hunt and something essentially made up by hillary clinton forces to rob him of his legitimacy as president and now suddenly we have this meticulously documented effort by the russians over a four year period across the country to disrupt the election. i really don't know how the president can walk away from that. but he's been placed in a

contradictory position and frankly at the end of the day his own legitimacy as president is challenged by this indictment. you know, hillary clinton won the popular vote by 2.9 million votes. and the election of course was determined by the electoral college. but there were a number of states in which the votes were razor thin. and if those votes had shifted even slightly in her favor, she would be president. so i think you're going to see some detailed analysis in the days to come about where the evidence is that possibly the election was overturned by these russian efforts. >> yeah, neff sathey have said s were changed by their efforts, but there is no way really to know how or if it impacted the outcome. so that has been -- >> that's right. >> and former hefd tad of the c saying that he believes how could it not influence voters. but paul, i want to stick with you for a moment.

let's talk about strategy because we know that those 13 individuals will not be brought here to the u.s. for trial. besides giving us a window into how the russians meddled in the u.s. election, what else is at play here, what other value did mueller have in putting out that indictment? i suppose he is also sending a message to the russians. >> i think he is sending a message to the russians that we're on to them now and because remember, a lot these operatives had to come and work in the united states in the early stages of this conspiracy. so they are on notice that we're watching for them and they will be arrested in the future. but i think a more important message was sent to the american public as well. mueller has been ridiculed so much by the president as leading this hoax witch hunt investigation. i think mueller saw that it was time to step up to the plate and show that the russian investigation is real. now, the good news for the trump campaign was that there was no indictment of any of his campaign officials.

they were described as unwitting, you know, participants in the russian conspiracy. they met with russians, they were involved in efforts with russians, but most of the time in an unknowing capacity. but nonetheless, the influence in the election was spelled out in clear detail by mueller. >> all right. samantha, paul, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. so there were alarming social media posts and a very detailed phoned in continue to the fbi. but despite the red flags, nikolas cruz still managed to turn his violence words and thoughts in to action at a school in florida. we'll have details on some of the signs that were missed coming up. . that binge watch over the weekend thing. more checking-in or checking out things. that triple-double thing doing it yourself or tagging a friend thing. more revolutions in the making thing. that play like a girl thing. that four-legged friends thing. at&t gives you more for your thing. more entertainment,

with guns and violence. >> someone even called in a continue to the fbi in january about this shooter's disturbing social media posts and warned the bureau that he had erratic behavior designed to kill people. but the fbi now admits it never acted on that tip but this man acted on his violence words and killed 17 people. the shooter is back in court on monday. public defender there says that he expected cruz to plead guilty. rosa flores is live in parkland. tell us more about these messages and the group cruz belonged to. >> reporter: well, this is a private group and one of our cnn colleagues got access to it. and no other way to put it, these conversations are disturbing and disgusting. they include racial slurs, hate speech, anti-semitic slur as well. he says, quote, my real mom was a jew.

i'm glad i never met her. but in this chat, he also discusses killing animals, tormenting animals, and even again says, quote, i think i'm going to kill people. which is of course extremely relevant to what happened here on campus on valentine's day. and there are other conversations that are extremely relevant. and that is about his body armor and the weapons that he purchased. in one of the conversations, he says i got paid $330, i'm going to go buy body armor. oh, i got a $30 discount and free shipping. and then when it he he is discu weapons with sorry individuaoth and one says that there is off market accessory you can purchase to make your ar-15 automatic. we know from law enforcement sources that the weapon that he used did not have that accessory, it was not an automatic weapon.

but this just gives us a glimpse, it opens a window into the conversations that he was having with other people. and as you mentioned, there are people that tipped off the fbi and that tip fell below the cracks and so many people saying could this have been prevented. >> rosa flores, thank you. >> and joining us live now, law enforcement analyst james gag l liono. jamg james tom fuentes told us that missing this tip was among the most catastrophic mistakes he can remember at the bureau. would you agree? >> rene, i would absolutely agree with the former assistant

director. listen, it is a complete understatement that this has left us reeling, meanings community of law enforcement professionals past and present. this was an egregious error. before we can actually identify where the breakdown happened, we have to understand the fbi is an agency with 35,000 employees. it is made up of professional support employer es and 12,000 special a littles. somewhere along the way, whether this was human error or systems error, and rememberlittles. somewhere along the way, whether this was human error or systems error, and remember even computers are programmed by humans, so we have to get to the bottom of what happened. that won't bring any solace to the families of the slain children. i'm down here and i can feel the visceral effect that the shooting has had. the fbi director did the right thing, he got out in front of it and said we made errors and we have to fix them. that is exactly what we expect

from institutions like the fbi. >> i want to get to the calls for him to resign. you are on record saying he should not resign. but could this have been prevented. if the fbi had forwarded this on to miami and followed up on those stiptips, do you believe e is enough here if they found it that they could have intervened before the shooter went to the high school? >> that is a fair question. and i'll stay on record with maintaining that it would be wholly just fruitless and a fool's errand right now to talk about relieving the fbi director over this. as far as the red flags, i teach criminal justice. the fbi gets thousands and thousands ever what we call yellow flags on a daily basis. the tip that they got, it does appear to be very definitive, it absolutely deserved to be run

down. at a minimum, what we do is compare knock-in talks which means that we go to the person's house, we knock on the door and agents that are trained in doing this study the person's body language, their tone, the words that they use and try to build togetheren an assessment is whether the person is just speaking in the heat of the moment or imploring impulsivity. we have first amendment protections and a lot of people say awful things on line. yes, this should have been chased down in that . no excuse about that. but in hindsight, it is easy to say it was a huge red flag, but having seen this so many times before, there are so many of these leads that get chased down every single day and turn out to be nothing. but it is regrettable that in in instance it resulted in 17 stolen lives. >> so there are a handful of states that have something that they call red flag laws in place that would allow law enforcement even family members to get a judge's order to prevent someone

from getting a gun if they are perceived as a threat. do you feel like that sort of law needs to be in play nationwide, do you feel ligs there are limitations for law enforcement in that way and that would be the sort of thing that could help? >> absolutely. and rene to your point, we cannot look at this in a vacuum. and i've been on record that i believe we need to take a look at pieces of the second amendment. it has its utility, but it has been around since 1791. and we need to adjust things. the same thing with our hipaa and our privacy requirements and stipulations that make it very difficult for people that have mental health conditions to have that information shared with law enforcement. i understand the respect and the need for privacy. i understand the counter argument that says if you had this shared with authorities, people won't come forward. we have to find the sweet spot

and we have to take a look at this. it will involve putting together all these different things. the law enforcement response to this once the shooting started was textbook. they did an amazing job. i think everybody is in congress certifica concert with that. we need to look at what we could have done better as a nation to prevent this from happening. >> we certainly do. thanks so much is for joining us. and our other big stoerry, was not just the indictments against 13 russians, also a request formanafort's request to changes to his bail agreement. next what they found out about his personal finances and possible fraud. and with ancestrydna liveson sale for just $69, now is the time to discover yours. you can find out where you get... ...your precision... ...your grace... ...your drive. and now, with more than 150 ethnic regions to connect to,

welcome back. i'm rene marsh. >> and i'm victor blackwell. 13 russians have been indicted by robert mueller for interfering in the 2016 election. >> documents say the effort involved unwitting americans including trump campaign officials. and on the same day the special counsel response to a request by former trump campaign chairman paul manafort. >> manafort wanted a change in his bail terms. instead he got a filing from robert miueller showing what th doment j says evidence of criminal conduct and bank fraud. >> joining us now to discuss all of this, juana summers, senior writer and cnn commentators jack kingston and david swerlic. this news on manafort, what do you make about these developments now? we know that new allegations from mueller concerning

manafort. how significant is this? >> we're still trying to get a lot of the details. we know mueller's office says they found evidence that paul manafort committed bank fraud that was not addressed by the indictment last october. this of course as there is legal wrangling over a $10 million bail package for paul man for the. so still trying to iffigure out what has happened. also kind of get the hint that there may have been someone other than manafort involved. so our team still trying to learn how big of a deal this will be. >> let's turn to jack. jack, i'm coming to you about this indictment of these 13 russians. and i've jotted down something that hr mcmaster said about this indictments and what it does now. it says it now makes the evidence in-controvertible and a apparent to everyone that russia meddled.

including the man who called it a hoax, witch hunt, fake new, coverup, hillary clinton's loss? >> yeah, i think that the president probably will make a definitive statement to the degree that they were absolutely interfering. and i think that we should not focus on that as much as the outrageous fact that they did interfere. you know, not just through these three companies, but think about 80 employees who work full-time to spy on us and to interrupt us. to medadlmeddle, i think that ie the focus needs to be. and i'll grant all the trump critics, if you want to focus on the fact that the president did not -- wasn't strong enough about this in terms of what their interference was, i would give that to you. but on other hand, i would also say the people who for over a year now have said the trump campaign was involved in this and they were up to their neck in collusion, i think it is time for those critics to also say

perhaps we were wrong about this and that russian interference was achlimed at america in gene in terms of creating chaos and disruption. >> well, several things there. this doesn't speak specifically to collusion. so that part of the investigation continues on the sidelines. probably the main line. this is another element. but jack, when you say that people should move on from highlighting that the president didn't acknowledge the involvement of russia, the president was briefed on this a year ago. not these specific 13 russians, but the involvement of russians 13 months ago. >> okay. then victor, it has to be fair game to talk about the october 22nd, 2012 criticism by barack obama of romney when he mocked romney for saying that russia was a geo global threat. >> not relevant at all fp. >> absolutely it's relevant because again in august of 2016,

barack obama was warned that russia was interfering in the election and in september at the g7 summit, he admitted this, he told vladimir putin y'all better cut this out. i mean -- >> you bring up an october 2012 debate on an indictment that starts in 2014. april of 2014. >> under his watch. >> just one point to congressman kingston's statement there. look, i think it is fair game to criticize president trump akrit administration for any response to russia meddling in 2016. they were in charge of the intelligence apparatus. going back to 2012, though, that was a debate. not an intelligence operation. number two, remember that it was in 2014 that russia invaded crimea and the president's response was to huddle with chancellor merkel, to huddle with other european and canadian leaders and put sanctions in place.

so when the rubber met the road, obama did have a robust response to the russians and i think that speaks more to the issues than the talking points about whether or not the administration said something in the debate in 2012. >> and i want to pick up on what jack said. he said didn't pay attention to the fact that the president didn't believe that this russia investigation was credible. what do you make of that considering we just heard the head of the fbi saying that the president has not directly asked the fbi to look into russian meddling considering the president last month didn't take the opportunity to add more sanctions on to russia. is it fair to say let's look away, let's move on? mine, this is the president of the united states. >> no, that is a good point. no. so again, i think congressman kingston is half right in what he was saying. there is nothing in what we found out yesterday that is a smoking gun that says ah-la, trump and his inner circle was in could hoots with cahoots wit.

but his twooelt that says nothing tweet that says nothing to see here, that hasn't been established. and there is a big question hanging out there about why president trump has been so so he police tuesday of the russians. that is one question. there is another question about russian interference. and there is a separate question about some of the folks in trump's inner circle that we still don't -- >> and david, and then there is the major question about the dossier and how much the clinton campaign worked with russian operatives to get information for that dossier and how much this dossier has been used to drive a wedge in the american political system. so i think that is a very legitimate question. i'm going to agree with you on most of what you've said, but i would also put down -- put ukrainian one in the next in terms of what were the clintons doing and why did bill clinton get paid $500,000 for a speech

in the wake of it. legit questions. let's all democrats and republicans put everything on the table. >> i agree with you. and i think it is fair to talk about what was in that dossier. because what is in the dossier doesn't change all the other things that are being investigated by the special counsel, by the congressional committees. and i think that when you start to reach down to that level and you start to reach down to ukrai ukrai uranium one, it is less about the trump campaign and more about the clinton campaign, which should be looked into, but is it a separate issue . >> not just looking back over on the last four years here, but ahead to the midterms that are a couple months away from the primaries here, we heard from dan coats that they are so happy with what happened in 2016 that 2018 essentially is a goal. how does the president's essentially denial of their interference impact their

ability to combat the interference moving forward? >> i think we heard that when we a number of lawmakers say if the president does not even acknowledge that these threats exist, it becomes harder and harder for our intelligence community to even him come baco. and i think this interference in the u.s. election system dates back to 2014, this a long reaching, very unprecedented attempt to interfere with our election systems. and while most americans may not be tracking this as closely as all of us are, i think that raises a new level of concern of what could happen in the next all-important midterm elections. and will the president address and acknowledge it rather than just saying no collusion. something that was not said by the dim h. deputy attorney gene. that was not weighed in on here. >> all right.

thank you all. still to come, a group of students from stoneman douglas high school say talking is just not enough anymore when it comes to preventing school shootings. why they want action on gun control, why they want action on problems of mental health in their own words. that is ahead. h veterans, both served in the navy. i do outrank my husband, not just being in the military, but at home. she thinks she's the boss. she only had me by one grade. we bought our first home together in 2010. his family had used another insurance product but i was like well i've had usaa for a while, why don't we call and check the rates? it was an instant savings and i should've changed a long time ago. there's no point in looking elsewhere really. we're the tenneys and we're usaa members for life. usaa. get your insurance quote today.

president trump and the first lady visited a hospital in broward county where many victims of the high school shooting were taken. several are still there being treated. they also dropped by the sheriff's office to praise the law enforcement officials who responded to the incident. >> and dianne gallagher is in deer fieeel deer field beach, florida.

are you hearing more about the victims and their conditions? >> reporter: that's right. so we are at broward north and this is where the majority of those victims who were injured were taken. there were three who remain here, three who remain in another hospital in broward county. only one victim is still in critical condition. we're expecting another update on those conditions a little bit later today. broward north is the hospital the president and first lady visited last night, they spent a little less than 20 minutes here talking to the doctors, the first responders, and visiting two patients, a male and female patient. that is 18-year-old mattdy willford, a back player, shot several times according to her mother's facebook post and has been through several surgeries as well last night in the parkland area, there was another vigil that friends of those killed and those injured showed up to, other students who lived through that shooting placed candles and angels and flowers and photos of the friends that

they lost. and you know, victor, rene, you were sensing something here in florida that is beyond just grief. there really does appear to be a call of action of some sort here. the students who lived through that shooting, many of their messages very political in nature now demanding some kind of action from somewhere. >> dianne gallagher, thank you. >> and that is exactly what we heard from a group of students there at stoneman douglas high school. i sat down with them and asked them how they feel about the national conversation and the president coming to visit after shooting. they talked about talk not being enough. they need more. they want action from the president. and from their governor. here is more of our conversation. >> if i may, i'd like to send a message directly to the president. i'm thankful that every day he wakes up and in his own way he tries to do the best or what he thinks is the best for us.

but realistically, we just need something more. you know, because we keep trying to go back to the old ways, maybe do something a little bit different. we just need change. >> i'm speaking as somebody who has seen anguish, who knows some of the people who were murdered. and i'm saying we're not -- it is not time to just talk. and i think we need to ignore donald trump a little bit here. because donald trump is just trying to get this over with until the next news happens. >> what do you have to say to the president? >> i want us to be able to have a voice and actually hear what he has to say. and i want us to be able to have an influence. at least for a second on plans that he has for the future. >> if he will come here and speak and not listen to us, he shouldn't come here at all. >> i want him to see the devastation that this has brought on our community and i want him to do something. >> when he was on the trail, he always talked a lot about gun

violence and inner cities and pl below income neighborhood, but parkland is one of the richest communities in the country. i think it is voted top ten safe he est cities in the country. i used to think that won't hoop to me, i'm not in the innercity, i'm not like that. look where we are now. it's a wake-up call. i think a face-to-face discussion with him might do something. >> do you think you'll get it? >> no. i don't think anybody can understand what we're going through. but i think it is human to human conversation. we can try. we can be hopeful. there is always hope. >> they wanted to have a conversation with the president. the president -- this was obviously recorded before the president went and there was no conversation with some of the survivors there at the school. the president went to the hospital but one element we talked about is the old duck and

cover drills that their parents, grand parents went through in school. they don't do that anymore because the cold war is over. i asked if they expected that anywhere children would have to do school shooter drills like they have to now. and he said the reason we're becoming active is because we don't want our children to have to do those drills. >> and in many ways they feel like they are leading the adults here. >> or at least trying to. trying to. a quick break. oh, and there's the closing bell.

there is a movie out this weekend, i don't know if you heard about it, black panther. i mean this is more than just the new hot marvel film, this is for some people a movement. >> i'd say so. it opened in theater last night and tickets sold out across the country. analysts are forecasting a $160 million opening weekend. >> the film is praised for its

mostly black cast and for sho showcasings rich histories of an african nation, something zsell seldomly portrayed. >> they did such a good job with the graphics and editing and all the culture that was in it and all the representation. it was a really great movie. i'm just glad that there was some type of imagery that showcased just like all the ethnic backgrounds within the black community and opening us up to more things and celebrating us as a whole so the whole world can see things that we do and things that we can become. >> this was phenomenal. it mets my expe my expectations exceeded it. so many things, political correctness, love, appreciation for one another, appreciation for mankind.
