they tried to get into the rnc and the dnc. didn't get into the rnc but got into the dcn and released the e-mails. what are they trying to find? what's the point here. >> i think there is a specific answer to your question. >> good. >> it is a crime to aid and abet hacking. if there was collusion. if there was involvement on the part of the trump administration in the wikipedia hacks -- that is a crime. >> okay. that's great. but listen to who they are talking about. who are the people involved in the trump campaign that were quote potentially clueding. none of them have experience this this area, none of them are hackers, none of them are folks who have understandings of how this works. what's the collusion? >> senator, it's bigger than the hacking. this is about a disinformation campaign. this is about a program that the russians have which they have used, you know, in countries around the world before. >> right. >> and that's what the fbi is focused on. because they want to know what happened. and for us to understand how it

of the system. >> director rogers, did the nsa ever get access to the dnc hardware? >> the nsa didn't ask for access. that's not in our job. >> good copy. so, director, fbi notified the dnc early, before any information was put on wikileaks, and when -- you have still never been given access to any of the technical or physical machines that were addition that were addition that were hacked by the russians? >> that's correct. although we got the forensics from the pros they hired, which, again, best practice always to get access to the machines themselves, but this, my folks tell me, was an appropriate substitute. >> the -- at what point did the company, the dnc use, share that forensic information to you? >> i don't remember for sure. i think june. i could be wrong about that. >> the company went public in june of '16 with their conclusions. >> yeah, about the time -- i think it was a little before the announcement, but i'll say approximately june. >> so, that was -- how long after the first notification that the fbi did of the dnc? >> ten months. >> ten months. so,

yet the question still doesn't come out, why wouldn't the dnc on multiple occasions rebuff the fbi? why were they not wanting did -- if they were so concerned about hacks and leaking, why did the dnc not ask the fbi to come look? not only did they not ask them, they rebuffed them on multiple occasions. why? what were they height hiding? what were they concerned of? i think there is a serious question. it's not -- they are very clear about the concerns that they have as well as all the leadership in the democratic party yet when it came to hacks and leaks out of the dnc -- and they are quick to jump to the conclusion about who did it, and yet they wouldn't allow the fbi to investigate it. there is a whole second set of concerns here in terms of what was hillary clinton's role? when you look at the obama history -- the obama administration and the clinton -- the clintons' involvement with russia in terms of donations that the clintons received from russian entities, the idea that they sold off tremendous amount of the uranium to the russian government -- and yet where was the concern

but he's the third dnc chair in just the last year.s got this interesting relationship, it seems, with keith ellison. would you call it an uneasy alliance? i'm curious what your sources are telling you guys. >> keith ellison was his top accounts, and even people who are critical and very skeptical of keith ellison being brought in as deputy chair, they say they're working together. i talked to tom perez and he said keith ellison is an ideas factory. they get along really well. they've known each other for a while. he'll be key to reaching out to the bernie sanders wing of the party. that's keith ellison's wing. >> i think that's got to be -- anybody who watched the 2016 election closely like we did, i mean, it was such -- the dnc, it was such a nightmare. they really -- you can see they do need to utterly reorient what their mission is and what they do and one would think that their job ought to be finding the next leader of this party that's cracked apart. and that seems to be a roll that they were not planning in '16. >> to talk abou

and we got the russians messing around with hacking into the dnc. those are the three primary issues? i think they're all important. >> yes. but even more so it's what are we going to do this doesn't happen again. there's a fourth issue, greta. as the fbi director said, there are classified leaks that are absolute criminal acts. the fbi director said that today. he also said there are many stories that are not true. >> former president of wiretapping him. what do you say about that. >> what do you say? your constituents must ask you, right? >> you heard the answers today. i think the answers were certainly clear. as of defending this tweet, talk to donald trump himself. >> don't you want to say something? he's going to keep tweeting. he was tweeting this afternoon. >> there certainly is. there clearly was chatter of information about communications that were happening in the trump campaign that have been leaked to the wnts and "the new york time times". >> he says tapping. >> that is not to the level of what the president is saying. even though we a

comey, when was the first time the fbi notified the dnc of the hack? dr. comey? i think august 2015. >> was that prior to any of the information being leaked? on wikileaks?put richter,: yes. the first russian-directed releases were in the middle of june of the next year. the persona. and so a little bit less than a year earlier. about a yearas between the fbi first notification and then that information getting on wikileaks? yes.tor comey: >> have you been able to -- when did the dnc provide access to your technical folks review of what happened? director comey: we never got direct access to the machines themselves. d dnc in the spring of 2016 hired a firm that ultimately shared with us their forensics from their review of the system. the nsator rogers, did ever get access to the dna hardware? >> the nsa did not ask for access. >> good copy. so did the director notified the dnc early before any information youput on wikileaks and still have never been given access to any of the technical or physical machines that were hacked by the russians. >> that is correct. w

it took months and months before it really got elevated at the dnc.was not until may 2016 that the dnc confirmed they were present in a computer system and they have been hacked and compromised. that began a whole series of disclosures that ultimately brought down the leadership of the dnc and it was months of documents that then became public. why the fbi did not escalate the investednd why -- formal investigation was not announced and why it was not a treated to russia earlier than october, which was the first of the federal government attributed it, those are all important questions we still don't have answers to. in go we will have to leave it there but look at all of these issues. andant to thank eric lipton marcy wheeler. her website is

didn't understand what was going on at the dnc until june of the next year, 2016. number two, there's the investigations into connections and conversations and whether was any kind of involvement between these discussions and the changes in the republican platform that heidi mentioned. even before that time, i had did interview with president trump both of which he questioned whether we should be continuing the sanctions. then there's the third issue, which is probably the most unpredictable which is what happened to the congressional investigation. we have several committees looking into it. you have calls for collect committee and bipartisan and you know what happened, once these starts, the leaks out of these elevation will build on each other as well. >> everybody stand by. we're going to take a break. before we do, a note about people getting ago tated and nervous and pressure building in washington. i want to show you the republican chair of the intelligence committee, congressman nunes and a little exchange that reminded people did dick cheney that people ne

it's just the latest shake-up for the dnc.g the election, wikileaks exposed committee e-mails showing staffers appearing to side with secretary clinton over bernie sanders. that led to the chairwoman of the dnc stepping down. with me is that former dnc chair, congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz, democrat from florida. first i'd like to get your reaction to senator bernie sanders, what he said today. >> clearly the democratic party needs a top-down overhaul, and that top-down overhaul means that instead of becoming dependent and being dependent on big money interest for campaign contributions, it's got to become a grassroots party. it has got to start speaking and acting and fighting for working people, for young people. that's the kind of party i think has to -- the democrats have to create. >> it's sort of a little bit like i heard four years ago when republicans were doing an autopsy after they lost the election in 2012. but is senator bernie sanders right? does it start at the top and come down and if so, how do you do t

dnc e-mails. rich's death was 12 days bere the wikileaks dump. gop lobbyist jack burkman holts donated reward money towards the investigation claimed a am toker intelligence investigator told him the russians were hyped his death. seth's family is outrageous saying the claims are false. c police and the family believe he was shot and killed from a robbery attempt. his wallet wasn't taken. the family says they now need financial help is that free from any quote, ulterior with any strings attached. we started looking at, you know, we have different ideas of people, would either come to us or we'd come up with. but all the ideas do take some level of resources or funding that we don't have. there's a lot of stones that we may want to turn over or look through, but we need the ability to do that. > so far the family has raised $4,600 just over that since opening the account a few days ago. seth's brother say they pledged to hold the money raised in a separate account and will provide regular updates o

. >> did the fbi have access to the dnc server? is this going to be settled sometime during the investigation. >> i would assume it would probably be looked at. you're talking about the dispute between the dnc leadership in the fbi. >> yes, whether or not they have access to their servers. >> as i understand it, from the evidence i've seen so far, that's been addressed several times, they were were warned about this and so was the rnc. i'm not disclosing anything that hasn't been out there. i think that's fact. what happened after that, who talked to who and was at the appropriate people, if you asked the democratic leadership, i think have one opinion in the dnc has another. i don't how that sort itself out but it will be part of our investigation, possibly. >> this is our first hearing. we wanted to be public. we want all the hearings to be public so we will continue, hopefully that will be the case. we may be adding to that list. >> if you don't have evidence, you don't have evidence. >> look, in terms of the body of evidence th

. >> after the dnc hack was revealed in "the washington post" last june and by a cyber security firm, a persona appeared on line within 24 hours and this persona claim that he himself had done the hacking and to do with russia. it seems fair to say that the story unraveled as the summer went on. initially he claimed to be a romanian hacker and some journalist tried to speak to him in romanian and he was unable to respond without google translate. there were elements of the story that didn't add up and additional forensic investigation have indicated this persona is probably not who he claims to be and we have solid evidence in the dnc case more broadly of russian involvement in particular two groups that in cyber security we call ap 28 and 29. >> the russians are good, but not always good. sometimes they fumble their romanian. >> i'm confident in our ability, sir. >> you mentioned the foreign registration act. either now or as a question for the record could you let us know how we could make that fit into our defense toolbox more effectively against the russian election manipulation t

-- to the dnc hack? mary: i am not sure i fully understand your question as to if this is the same model. if you are talking about the use of criminal hackers, that is an ongoing and separate investigation and a don't have any further information on that. [inaudible] fsbrter: were these officers acting individually? the second question is, mr. belan, based on the fbi warrant, --says he is in the department of justice statement it says he is russian. mary: we will have to get back to you with any correction there on those. reporter: these are official documents. can you answer the first question, though? mary: i can't recall the first question. reporter: it is whether these two fsb officers were acting individually, or on behalf of that agency. mary: what the other indictment alleges, and as we have reason to believe based on the evidence, they were acting on their capacity as fsb officials. reporter: i just want to clarify, he is not recused from this investigation. mary: he is recused. what about the ex

i mean, at the end of the day the only thing we know for sure is that the dnc was colluding with the clinton campaign to derail bernie sanders -- [laughter] dagen: john podesta called bernie a dufus, by the way. >> oh, i remember. i was there. [laughter] >> you know, this is exactly what putin wanted to do, he wanted to destable us and make us question our democracy, and every single news story about it makes putin feel stronger and better than before. dagen: instead of talking about cutting our taxes, we're talking about vladimir putin and russia. >>> the federal judge in hawaii who ordered a halt on president trump's revised travel ban has now upped the ante and indefinitely extended that halt, and the white house is not at all happy about it. as you might recall, the revised ban was not as strict as the original. it was changed quite handsomely. it exempted green cardholders and temporarily barred travelers from six predominantly-muslim nations from entering the u.s. iraq no longer on the list. but the judge in hawaii ruled that the intent was the same as the original, calling it

. >> isn't the hacking of the dnc and the release of dnc e-mails also a crime? >> it's a crime but not one that we -- >> we know it was committed. >> they can attribute that to a foreign power. that's what they said today. >> right. but that was a crime that was committed that received relatively less attention from republicans on the dias today than -- >> this is from earlier and currently the chair of the intelligence committee is speaking outside in the hallway. here are his remarks now. >> we have no evidence of that and i doubt that evidence exists. i mean, personal attacks on the secretary of state. i mean, this is a little bit farfetched here. and this needs to be cleared up quickly. >> this investigation was going on since july, yet during the election comey revealed one investigation. the investigation into hillary clinton. should he have acknowledged that james comey, that donald trump also was under investigation? >> i think there was a question about eight, we saw we may have to change procedures. so that's what that's reffing to. >> you weren't awar
