rogers answering questions about cyber threats as questions arise about previous testimony from the fbi director. cnn has learned that james comey might have overstated some details about hillary clinton's infamous e-mails. and i want to talk about this now with cnn political director david chalian and cnn justice correspondent evan perez. evan, let's start with you. this seems like a big mistake that he made testifying before congress. >> it's definitely a mistake, and i think the fbi's now trying to figure out how to clean this up, perhaps they'll send a letter to congress. what comey should have said is that huma abedin had set up a forwarding system, a backup system, whereby her work e-mails were being sent to anthony weiner's laptop. that's her husband's laptop. in some cases, perhaps she did forward some e-mails for him to print out. the way comey said it during the congressional hearing last week, however, he said that she forwarded routinely hundreds of thousands of e-mails and that the intention was for him to print them out for her to present to the secretary of state. perhaps that's what she did in a few cases. it certainly was not an intentional thing the way it was for hund

roger stone foresaw stolen data on twitter in 2016. timing can matter. on october 7th just hours after the damaging "access hollywood" tapes of donald trump were made public, publishing e-mails stolen from clinton campaign manager john podesta. assassination and political violence. last act, russian military intelligence reportedly conspired to assassinate the then-prime minister of montenegro as part of a coup attem attempt. russian opposition figures are routinely the targets of state-delegated viviolence. boris nemsof was brazenly murdered near the kremlin in 2015. thankfully we have no evidence of that happening here. investment control and key economic sectors. we learned from heather conley's testimony in our last hearing the kremlin playbook is is to manipulate other countries through economic penetration, sectors of the target country's economy to create political leverage. putin's pet ro politics uses russia's control of natural gas to create political pressure, but no as to that tactic here so far. shady business and financial ties. russia exploits the dark shadows of economic and political systems. fbi director comey testified last week that the united states is becoming the last big
