russian interference in the election, as well as possible kremlin ties to white house officials, will play out behind closed doors tomorrow. fbi director james comey and others will testify in a closed session of the house judiciary committee. the public hearing was canceled at the behest of the republican chairman. that didn't sit too well with the ranking democrat, congressman adam schiff. he spoke to john dickerson on "face the nation." >> the chairman has to make a decision whether to act as a surrogate for the white house, as he did during the campaign and transition, or to lead an independent and credible investigation. i hope he chooses the latter. the country really needs to have an independent, credible investigation in the house. and we had that up until and through monday, where i think that the house process went off the rails was with that venture by the chairman to the white house. you simply can't run a credible investigation that way. i'm going to do everything i can to get this back on track, and i
3:34 am
implore our chairman and the speaker to rededicate themselves to a serious and bipartisan investigation. we know that russia was involved in hacking our democracy. we know that the evidence or information is sufficient to warrant an fbi investigation of this. we're trying to do as much of this as we can in the public eye transparentally. some of it will have to be done in closed session. but it demands both parties work together. we need the chairman to decide that's what his object is, as well. >> congressman, there has been a report from cnn that wednesday night, that the fbi was looking into collusion with the russians and the trump campaign in terms of spreading information about hillary clinton's campaign. do you have any information to back that up? >> i'm not sure that i can comment on that. i can say that i think the investigation that the director talked about at our monday hearing is justified.
3:35 am
i think that we owe it to the country to do this in a credible way. i would make one final point, john. i do think the events of this week call out the need for an independent commission quite separate and apart from what we do in congress. there are enough questions that have been raised where i think the establishment of that commission would give the country a lot of confidence that at least one body was doing this in a way that was completely removed from any political considerations. another one of vladamir putin's political enemies has turned up dead, gunned down on the streets of kiev as he was set to testify in a treason investigation. anna werner has details. >> reporter: ukrainian officials describe the shooting as an execution and accused russia of state terrorism. it's just the latest incident of violence of people critical of moscow. denis voronenkov was gunned down in
3:36 am
kiev. prosecutors say the motive remains unclear. but ukrainian officials believe moscow was behind the attack of the former russian politician, who became a vocal critic of the kremlin. he was scheduled to give testimony at the ukraine's military prosecutor's office, the purpose of which was not immediately clear. in an interview last month, voronenkov said he was not concerned for his safety and was not going to hide. the ukraine government did not agree, providing him with a bodyguard who was injured in thursday's firefight after shooting and killing voronenkov's attacker. voronenkov joins a growing list of people, all critical of the russian government, and/or president vladamir putin who have ended up dead. including former russian spy alexander litvenko, who drank tea in london laced with radioactive pullonium, likely given to him

services with president putin's knowledge. and this journalist, who was critical of russia's human rights policies, who was kidnapped and killed in 2009. >> this was retaliation for my political activities. >> reporter: this russian government critic is now recovering from a second alleged poisoning by the putin regime. he spoke to "60 minutes" about his first alleged attack. >> i was at one point connected i think to eight different artificial life support machines and doctors told my wife there's only a 5% chance i'll survive. >> reporter: he survived both incidents, but his friend and opposition leader to the putin government was shot and killed near the kremlin in 2015. >> people shouldn't be killed for their political activity and because they happen to disagree with the government. >> reporter: russia denies any involvement in both the poisoning of karmuza and shooting of voronenkov. a spoespoexsman for president

the sap is running in new england. that means it's time to brew up some maple syrup. it's a $300 million a year industry. don dahler has the story of one family who brought their little family business into the 21st century. >> reporter: every year when winter loosens its grip, sugar farmers hike into the woods and tap thousands of trees. it takes up to 60 gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup. the ultimate renewable resource, maple trees produce sugar four to six weeks a year. potentially for hundreds of years. but it only takes a taste to know that's a sweet deal. how old do you think these things are? >> 100 years old. >> reporter: for 75 winters, dave's family has been making maple syrup. >> right there looks like a good spot to me, but that's just my guess. we never know. >> reporter: this is he

to do it when he was a boy. with hand drills and hammers, horses and sleds, and thousands of buckets that had to be emptied multiple times a day if the sap was really flowing. sounds like hard work. >> it was. there it comes. >> reporter: there she goes. >> get a taste of it. >> reporter: the older the tree, the sweeter the sap. older is better? >> yes. >> reporter: in the tree business. >> yes. you hear it? that's what i would call an average flow. it would be going ping, ping, ping if it was faster. that's the sound of money dropping into the bottom of the pale. >> reporter: how many trees do you think you were working back then? >> probably 800 to 1,000 trees. >> reporter: vermont is the largest maple syrup producer in the u.s. with every fourth tree in the state being a maple, there's plenty of natural resources for big and small businesses, which

gallons of syrup a year. they have always been primarily dairy farmers. >> it's kind of a science tapping the trees. >> reporter: but a few years ago, dave's nephew took it upon himself to sweeten their family fortunes to take the syrup operation from hobby to big business. >> it was a side business for a long time. now it's more of an income producer for your family. >> right. it's important to us. >> reporter: drills and hammered replaced by miles of plastic tuned, tapped into 6200 trees. it's just pouring in there. that's a lot of sap. >> it's a lot of sap. >> reporter: high tech equipment takes the clear sap, boils it down, which produces the liquid syrup. 70 solar panels subsidize the energy cost of the entire operation. >> we produce about 40 gallons an hour with this rig. and total of around 3,000 to 3,500 a year. >> reporter: and before you modernized the system, what were you producing?
3:43 am
>> somewhere around 300 to 500 gallons of syrup. >> reporter: that's a big difference. according to a recent study, maple farmers fear overproduction but are also worried about climate change. winters in vermont are getting warmer earlier. >> march is when we would tap the trees. now we should tap the trees in february, a month earlier, to get more of the days when it's above freezing during the daytime and freezing at night for sap flows. >> reporter: for now, tapping earlier often means longer, more profitable seasons. but a warm snap can shut things down quickly. still, when the sap is flowing and the family is working almost around the clock, they always take the time to count their blessings and thank the humble maple tree, the gift that keeps on giving. for someone that doesn't live up here and do this, what is the best thing about this business? >> the warm days, seeing the sap flow out of the tree.
