i'm guessing chris wray doesn't agree with that and i'm guessing chris wray does not like to see theng it a joke and donald trump denying the assessment of the intelligence community. >> i'm certain he almost didn't like it when donald trump a month ago at osaka at the g20 sat next to putin and when a reporter called out tell him not to meddle in the election, trump took it as a joke, performed for the cameras, looked at putin and said, please, don't meddle in the election, with a smirk on his face. he's minimizing this in plain sight. that's something -- there's nothing hitten abodden about th. it's all the out in the open. mcconnell blocking the bills. you have to watch what they do. if they're blocking these bills, they don't care about outside interference and inviting it from any country. >> we have been talking about trump's brand. his brand is the opposite of what supporters in ohio think it is. he's so weak, he's so impotent, he can't win without big, bad vladimir putin. i actually think -- and i hear this too from garrett haake, we're not asking about russia because we don't

the democrats on the senate judiciary committee that chris wray will have send to be on top of it. this is in all of them, but you recognize these folks. not to be weird, but three of the four people on screen here are right now running for president. they are in the senate and not the house. these senators, harris, booker, klobuchar are never going to get a chance to ask mueller anything, but will ask chris wray with mazie hirono and all the other democrats led by senator dianne feinstein. as we close in on what we all expect to be the key moment in our democracy this week, simultaneously we are also seeing an almost unimaginably outbreak in puerto rico. you saw this today. these were the largest protests ever in the history of puerto rico. it shut down the city streets and everything on the island as a significant portion of the population turned out to demand the resignation of the governor for corruption and leaked messages that showed in unvarnished language what they think of the people of puerto rico. for the botched response to hurricane maria and the thousands of deaths th

just before mueller's testimony yesterday, chris wray made this point on russian interference. watch this. >> are the russians still trying to interfere in our election system? >> the russians are absolutely intent on trying to interfere with our elections through -- >> is it fair to say that everything we've done against russia has not deterred them enough? all the sanctions, all the talk, they're still at it? >> well, my view is until they stop, they haven't been deterred enough. and they're still doing it? >> yes. >> so, robert, my question here is do we have the capacity -- does the united states government have the capacity to actually stop them? do they have the ability? >> well, we do. i think it's a great question. but what people need to realize whether it's us, iran, or china or other countries, their number one intelligence priority is the united states. so they are literally throwing the weight of their country against us. i think what we really need is to be talking a joint unified message not just from the united states but other countries like ours that are telli

chris wray is taking charge. i don't think he's moving as quickly as some would want. lou: put me on that list of people. >> i understand. but at the same time bill barr is the perfect person to do the cleanse of the intelligence community. the president has given him so really good authority to go in and find out sort of how the intelligence community was used. if you remember barr, before he was the attorney general, he was on the oversight board of the intelligence community. so he understands this game and i think he's the perfect person to do it. and now that my friend john radcliffe is going to be nominated, he and i were u.s. attorneys together, very excited about the opportunity that he has to go into the national intelligence community. and i think he's not only going to be fair and impartial but i think he's the right person to lead and to take those organizations in the right direction. lou: and speaking of intelligence, the senate intelligence committee chair richard burr coming out and saying that basically he has some questions about how partisan radcliff

information related to the mueller report, but as you saw in that exchange with lindsey graham and chris wray, lindsey graham has been one of the major facilitators of donald trump's metanarrative that this is all a hoax. in russia where they study us in great detail at deep scholarly levels in a way we don't study them, their intelligence community must be laughing at that exchange. because they know that donald trump has lindsey graham in his pocket. and lindsey graham has now amplified every message that they want to create this framework in which the fbi is an illegitimate -- within 24 hours, his testimony will turn into a hysteria donald trump and calling all of this a lie. this is where the united states national security is fundamentally damaged. no matter what our protectors at the fbi, the national counterintelligence division and the cia and other organizations do, we have been subverted from within. >> malcolm, i've got about a minute left. you were the first person to tell me that even the anti-vaccine effort is being help aid long by a russian campaign on social media, that it's

yesterday the fbi director chris wray said he hadn't read every line of the report. this idea that mueller can stand on what's been published is unfortunately wrong. what we've seen up to this point is that mueller's approached things as the last boy scout. he has played by the rules. he's been played by the system, by the trump doj and the white house in effect out of the game. they controlled the narrative. this is a chance to set the record straight. perhaps the last chance for him to really set the record straight. >> we've heard a lot about what democrats plan to do and hope to get out of it at some point coming up. we'll talk about what republicans hope to get out of today. if they want to paint the whole thing as bogus, they have a whole different set of questions. we'll get to that. >>> we have breaking news. a source tells cnn that puerto rico's embattled governor, ricardo rossello, is expected to resign today. this is the company nation of protests the likes we have -- combination of protests the likes we have not seen. we have more on the latest. >> report

just this week fbi director chris wray told congress russia is absolutely intent on interfering in future elections. meanwhile, and somewhat unbelievably, election security legislation has hit a roadblock in the u.s. senate. the a.p. puts it this way. senator majority leader mitch mcconnell on wednesday blocked a house-passed bill that will authorize $775 billion to beef up election security. here to talk about it with us tonight, mike the mcfaul, former u.s. ambassador to russia. his recent book titled "from cold war to hot peace: an american ambassador in putin's russia" and clint watts back with us. a former fbi special agent. he's also a distinguished research fellow at the foreign policy research institute. he happens to be author of "messing with the enemy: surviving in a social media world of hackers, russians, terrorists and fake news." gentlemen, good evening to you both. clint, i have one more quote here from "the new york times." this is about the senate report. it concluded that while there was no evidence that any votes were changed in actual voting machines, russian cyber ac

. >> that's, of course, fbi director chris wray. that last bit was from today shortly before today's senate intelligence committee report landed. what is important is how much of the report is redacted. as dire as it appears, we still don't know the half of it. the president, on the other hand, does, but he so far isn't raising any new alarm. >>> joining us now one of the senators co-sponsoring some of the block legislation, connecticut democrat richard blumenthal. thanks so much for being here. >> thank you. >> first of all, mitch mcconnell says this should be a bipartisan effort. i think everybody could probably agree with that. it shouldn't be something that's contentious. why did the republicans vote against it? >> that's a mystery, because it should be bipartisan. that intelligence committee report is bipartisan. what it shows is that the russians began this misinformation and disinformation attack on our democracy as early as 2014, well before the 2016 election. they are continuing. they probed and scanned, they have activitie

on tuesday, fbi director chris wray testified before the senate judiciary committee and said that russia is still intent on interfering in our elections. on wednesday, former special counsel robert mueller testified for about seven hours, largely about russia's sabotage of our campaign and election. and then yesterday, the senate intelligence committee released a stunning report on russia's 2016 election interference. and then following all that, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell blocked two election security bills yesterday. one of the bills, the duty to report act, required candidates and campaign officials to notify the fbi if they're offered foreign contributions or assistance. mcconnell blocked that bill too. it seems like that's the kind of provision he might think president trump would run afoul of, particularly because the president has said he would run afoul of it. but let's not forget that back in september of 2016, when the cia presented the gang of eight with its assessment that russia was at that moment intervening in that election to help donald trump win the presiden

chris wray, the current fbi director warned there's interference in the next election. why aren't we doing something about that? >> i think the ball is in congress' court with regard to that. >> except the republicans won't move on anything. mcconnell won't put anything on the floor about it. >> and the president never talks about it because of his insecurity. that's the only link. >> now -- >> that's how congress holds the president accountable. if you want in the future to deal with the issue about whether in the midst of a presidential campaign there are efforts by a foreign government to infiltrate a campaign or interfere with our elections, you can pass legislation that is directed against campaign officials and the candidate that can deal with that question. >> right in the house but they can't get in on the floor and the senate. >> you've got to start someplace. >> that's not a law. let me take on this other -- >> why don't we start with a statement from the president, an acknowledgment from the leadership and leadership from the president? why don't we get the g

despite mueller's warning about foreign interference today and chris wray's warning, as you might guessator mitch mcconnell, tonight, once again blocked this request to get a vote on that legislation, as well as all the other bills for election security this year. it makes you wonder exactly what it is he is so worried about if he might pass some of that legislation and that might actually do it. we'll be right back. hey, who are you? oh, hey jeff, i'm a car thief... what?! i'm here to steal your car because, well, that's my job. what? what?? what?!

mueller but of fbi director chris wray, to move on election security. but because they have a lot of opposition in the white house president trump and others in his inner circle are reluctant to make any significant moves on election security through the senate because they privately have concerns about raising president trump's ire, questioning the legitimacy of his 2016 win. there is no momentum on the gop side. >> why can't the two both exist? the president can sit in the white house and at the same time say let's secure the next election. >> people inside of his administration, like the fbi director, believe in that. they can do both at the same time. they can move forward and that it's not a partisan issue. but many people around president trump when you talk to them believe the democrats are trying to make this a partisan issue. democrats say this is not a partisan issue at all. >> ben, would these bills solve the problems that mueller laid out as well as the senate intel report? >> no. i don't think solve. this is a persistent threat over time an

for the record, fbi director chris wray said he would be happy to check on that.also clarified for the record today that he, himself, the fbi director hasn't read the mueller report. >> have you read the mueller report? >> i've reviewed it. i wouldn't say i read every single word. >> that's a big part of why democrats say they wanted robert mueller to testify tomorrow anyway, right? so people who haven't read the report can, you know, watch the movie instead of reading the book. who knew that would include the director of the fbi himself? we know democrats on the judiciary committee held a mock hearing today for about 2 1/2 hours as part of their prep complete with somebody playing the part of a likely interrupter who was trying to get them off their game when they were building up momentum. one of the lawmakers who of course will have questions for robert mueller is the vice chair of the house judiciary committee. she's got a big day ahead of us tomorrow. but before that she's going to join us here next. stay with us. ing to join us here next. stay with us at the

warning and recognize that same message is coming out of donald trump's own director of the fbi, chris wraytional intelligence, dan coats. this ought to be a national security issue. what bothers me is this p president is so obsessed about his own personal well being that he dismisses this threat and, frankly, when he goes to a g20 meeting and makes light of the issue with vladimir putin, he does not make our nation safer. >> senator, speaking about the president there, you said earlier this year that there were enormous amounts of evidence of a conspiracy between the trump campaign and russia. robert mueller reiterated again yesterday that he did not find that. so given your earlier comments and given what's in the report, do you owe the president an apology? >> we are still finishing our counter-intelligence investigation. we still have not gotten access to literally reams of counter-intelligence evidence. i believe what mr. mueller said yesterday, what was reported to me was he said they didn't even look at collusion because collusion is not a legal terminology. they did say there were w
