jenna: bret baier with special report. let's start with the big news for the day which continues to be the headline about russia interfering in election cycle. this is not suggesting any of the reporting that russia actually cast ballots in the election, right? >> exactly, jenna, this is saying that the intelligence community believes that russia tried to influence a number of different ways, hacking different places, putting emails and that sort of thing out in the public, perhaps through wikileaks and trying to influence on behalf according to reporting to have donald trump be the vÍctor. this is not about altering actual voting machines and we have been through that process, how it's kind of separate, but it may be about voter roles and, you know, efforts to hack into various places. that's part of the problem here is we don't have all of information from what the intelligence community is hoping. i think the biggest news this morning is that senator mitch mcconnell, the senate majority leader said that the republicans

and according to bret baier's reporting, authorities believed there was a 95% chance that up to five foreign intelligence agencies may have accessed clinton's server and taken e-mail. where was the great outrage from the left that is all up in arms now. and if they're so concerned about interference and influence, why didn't they care about the media and their collusion with the clinton campaign? remember wikileaks? they exposed how the mainstream media was caught read handed. what were they trying to do? influence the election. help hillary clinton win. including donna brazile leaking questions to the clinton campaign. how about an investigation into that. liberals in the media have been pushing the idea that russia used julian asage to impact the election and gave wikileaks access to john podesta's inbox. asage has said that russia did not give him the e-mails and when i interviewed julian asage on my radio show, here's what he told me about the democrats pushing a connection to russia. >> the democrats always speaking about how terrible it was. and it was in many ways. but at leas
