i think that it's been all over the map. >> so john brennan, his statement is not enough for you? >> not when you have multiple people saying different things, coming through third parties and media reports. let's put it aside. let's assume it's true. there's that the outcome of the election was changed because of a couple dozen john podesta e-mails that were out there. >> i agree with that. and that's fair. but i'm asking you about the specific question of russian intelligence. here's what president obama said in his news conference on friday. take a look. >> unless the american people genuinely think that the professionals in the cia, the fbi are less trustworthy than the russians, then people should pay attention to what our intelligence agencies say. >> and that's really the question i'm focusing on. we'll get to the electors in a minute and what the democrats are trying to do. does president trump accept -- or trust the intelligence community -- this is a cia director saying this, not a third party -- or does he trust the russian denial? >> look, i think that they're almost t

we haven't heard from comey. >> this is cia director brennan. you think he's lying about what jim comey thinks? >> i don't think he is, but it sure would be nice to hear from everybody. if there is this conclusive opinion among all of these intelligence agencies, then they should issue a report or they should stand in front of a camera and make the case. that all being said, let's put that aside for a second. i think the real question is why the democrats and why these electors and why moveon.org and all of these organizations are doing everything they can to delegitimize the outcome of the election. they started out with a recount in states that they didn't move the dial anywhere. in fact, president-elect trump received more votes after that was done. then they went after this diebold fiasco, which was proven to be totally untrue. now they're going forward tomorrow with this attempt to intimidate and harass electors. we have electors receiving 200,000 e-mails. nothing is going to change. >> but reince, i'm going to get to that on the electors.

deteriorating situation in syria we're joined by tom donilon and cbs foreign affairs correspondent margaret brennan. on the one hand have you a president saying he'll retaliate against the russians and the president-elect doesn't believe the beginning premise that the russians were involved. what do you make of that pretty big comment. >> i was struck by kellyanne's comments as i have been by donald trump's comments for weeks and months and reluctance to do which is what normally happens in national security matters which is a unified consensus. the obvious thing for kellyanne conway and donald trump to say is i want a full investigation

margaret brennan. first lady michelle obama says her team will help melania trump succeed in the white house. mrs. obama spoke with oprah winfrey in a newly released clip you'll see first on "cbs this morning" she revealed how she'll help with the transition. >> did you have any advice for mrs. trump? >> you know i didn't -- we didn't -- we talked about the kids. but you know, my offer to melania was, you know, you really don't know what you don't know until you're here. >> mm-hmm. >> so the door is open. as i've told her. and as laura bush told me, you know, and as other first ladies told me. so i'm not new in this going high thing. i mean i model -- i'm modeling what was done for me. >> yeah. >> by -- by the bushes. >> right. >> and laura bush was nothing but gracious and helpful, and her team was right there for my team. all throughout this entire eight-year process. >> and your team is doing the same? >> we will do whatever they need to -- to help them succeed. so that's one of the things i said to

does you don't know brennan -- does john brennan who runs the cia, is there any suggestion that thiscal hit job? >> well, you know the interesting thing is what james comey believes and what he told the president-elect that he believes that john brennan has politicized the cia the same way that eric holder politicized the justice department. >> which is unbelievable. the big question is how do you know that? you know that james comey called donald trump. >> that i know. i know that from very good sources that they had this conversation not once but several conversations. >> we know the national intelligence director said we don't know the russians hack. and yesterday, they were saying it goes all the way up to vladimir putin. huge difference. >> there's a huge difference between the cia and fbi whose job by the way is counterespionage in this, countercyber attacks. that's what the fbi does. over whether there was any intention, and comey doesn't believe that there was any intention. now, he's not saying there wasn't hacking. because there has been hacking but he doesn't believe for a

expose dnc e-mails and interfere in the presidential election according to the head of cia, john brennan there is now a quote, strong consensus among u.s. intelligence services, that russia orchestrated hacks and on-line leaks in part to help donald trump win the white house. that is latest theory. it contradicts earlier theories and statements of those ages, but despite the newly constructed consensus about intervention in the election, by which the agencies now mean that russians did hack not the election but the democratic national committee, and obama administration now acknowledges that there is still no evidence that a single vote was changed as a result of what those agencies and their consensus call, russian interference. >> the president's homeland security secretary jay johnson said, that the hacking did not change the vote count. >> we see no evidence that hacking by any actor altered ballot count or any cyber actions that deprived people of voting whether the disclosures that were made that we pointed out in our october 7 statement, altered public opinion is not -- that is pi

why do you think director brennan wrote this to his staff? >> i think it's very clear why he wrote it. there were leaks from the hill that some in the fbi did not agree with the cia's assessment that the intent of the operation, which was the news over the last couple of weeks, the intent was not just to cause chaos in our election but specifically to help donald trump win. that was the cia assessment, brennan is a fierce defender of the cia and it was his view that the leaks clearly were incorrect and he wanted to make it public that the cia and the fbi and the dni all agree now on the intent of this russian propaganda effort. look, a senior intelligence official said to me this week one thing you do not want to do is get into a leak war with the cia. this is literally what these guys do for a living and i'm not accusing brennan of playing politics here, i think he was correcting the record but i think trump is making a mistake if he's going to be as cavalier and dismissive of the cia. those guys don't mess around and, you know, there's two

margaret brennan is at the white house where president obama discussed the hacking and his response in his last news conference of the year on friday. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the obama administration is under fire for not countereding the russian cyberthreat early and the director of national intelligence is expected to release a scale of the attack within the next three weeks. the intelligence communities's unanimous conclusion prompted four senators, two from each party, to demand a special investigation. republican senator john mccain. >> we need a select committee. we need to get to the bottom of this. we need to find out exactly what was done. there is no doubt they were inferring. >> reporter: the hacking began in 2015 and the stolen democratic party e-mails began appearing on wikileaks ahead of hillary clinton's nominating convention this summer. on friday, president obama said he learned of the intrusions at that time, but worried going public would undermine americans' faith in the election. >> my principal goal leading up to the election was making sure that

we saw this letter today going to the entire cia workforce come from john brennan saying the following, that the director brennan met recently with the fbi director comey and there is "strong consensus among us on the scope, nature and intent of russian interference in our presidential election." you're aware of reports and aware of the president-elect himself questioning one if russia's behind the hacks and were they trying to help steer the election to donald trump? in fact i'm told by multiple officials there is agreement there are multiple possible motives for russian hacking based on the intelligence assessment. one just to undermine confidence in the process but two also to weaken hillary clinton, and to help donald trump. the view being that early on it may have been just to weaken the candidates, weaken the process. has donald trump performed better? some in the cia believe they went, in effect, all in for donald trump. i should caveat there that trying to judge the intentions of foreign intelligence services is not an exact science. this is assessment based on the best intelli

with the house intelligence committee. >> we have john brennan, supposedly john brennan, leaking too a biased newspaper as "new york times" findings and conclusions that he's not telling the intelligence committee. should be an investigation what the russians did, but also an investigation of john brennan and the hit job he seems to be orchestrating against the president-elect. >>> meanwhile, audio recordings of hillary clinton speaking candidly and pointing fingers for her loss, addressing a gathering of donors in new york city, she blamed the fbi for sinking her campaign and said the 2011 comments about elections in russia motivated vladimir putin to target her. >> take it from nate silver, who's pointed out that swing state voters made their decisions in the final days, breaking against me because of the fbi letter from fbi director comey. and nate silver believes, i happen to believe this, that that letter most likely made the difference in the outcome. we have to recognize that, as the latest reports made clear, vladimir putin himself directed the covert cyberattacks against ou
