and the fbi had a big problem after the assassination because it turned out that the fbi did have lee harvey oswald under surveillance and at times pretty aggressive surveillance before the assassination. and it became important to fbi director j. edgar hoover, who was really a force unto himself in that era, to prove that oswald was a lone wolf, that he carried out this assassination alone, that nobody else knew about it, that there was no conspiracy, certainly no conspiracy that the fbi could have foiled, and he seems determined to prove that regardless of what the facts might actually show. >> this is a model used by the warren commission? >> right. i think this model now exists at the museum that's now located in the texas -- or what used to be the texas school book depository. but it was used here in the vfw offices to make it easy for people to understand the sequence of events in dealey plaza. you can see small models of cars were used to try to indicate where the president's limousine and the other cars in the motorcade were at different times. this is arlen specter, again at

that the fbi was monitoring his movements. a very dedicated member of the warren commission staff took the original notebook, which the commission had a copy of, and this typewritten summary that the fbi had prepared supposedly for the convenience of the commission and went page by page to see if anything was missing or anything had been misstated in the typewritten version. he discovered the fbi's name and all this other material had been removed in what appeared to be an effort to hide from the warren commission the fact that the fbi did have oswald under what appears to be pretty aggressive surveillance before the assassination. >> there's also a story of an artifact of a letter that oswald wrote to hosty that he himself destroyed, is that true? >> that's an amazing story. we now know that oswald was so agitated about the fbi's surveillance of him and his family before the assassination that he actually went to the dallas field office of the fbi in early november 1963 and presented some sort of letter in which he protested

the fbi is very good at this.ink the director would have come out and said this without having very good evidence. >> so whether do you make of the fact that north korea denied any involvement in this? what do you think is there strategy here? it's similar it seems to the denial that we heard out of china when we first heard, i believe it was from fire eye about a special military unit that was using technical resources to attack u.s. business interests. why would they not crow about this and say we warned you. now we've hit you where it hurts. >> it's hard to attribute any rational thought to north korea and their leadership. you know, they wanted to threaten and make good on their threat and they wanted to everybody to know they should just own up to it. but that is not the way it works. china, as this has been happening in plain sight for a long time with china. and there is sort of a dancing game that takes place. and we have not wanted to point the finger directly at them because we want to do business there.

it says fbi exhibit because the fbi collected it first. then it was transferred on to the warren commission and then eventually to the national archives. i will say we have had the records of the warren commission well before the passing of the jfk act. and those records were about 90% -- 98% open prior to the passing of the act. those records have been open and available here at the national archives for many years. so we have had these artifacts for a very long time as well. you will sometimes see on some of the artifacts that there are inissues. those initials were used as a means of documenting the transfer of custody from one organization to another, like the dallas police on to the fbi or between individuals within the fbi. and each one of these artifacts, you could fine in our files. this is the sweater he was wearing when he was shot. we have the -- they have put these in acid free boxes with acid free tissue to preserve them. any laboring that would have been on the materials when they came to us we have preserved every artifact o

we get this statement from the fbi in which they say categorically the fbi now as an information -- enough information. three areas in which they have built that case against north korea. calling this out of bounds activity from a foreign government saying they will be -- there will be costs and consequences. it does not say what those will be. >> exactly how do they know for sure that north korea, the north korean government is behind this attack? >> if you look at the statement, they are not the specific. they say they recognize malware here being consistent with malware used by other north korean actors in the past. infrastructure that was used, ip addresses, malicious cyber of aity, other aspects technical nature they say lead them to conclude that north korea was involved. it is pretty clear that there may be other sources of information they have out there that point to north korea. more intelligence allowing them to make this definitive statement that north korea is to blame. we have a statement from the department of, security. jeh johnson saying the cyber attacks against sony pict

the fbi is involved. in fact, we were there when the fbi questioned shane's parents once again. we're talking about shane montgomery, a 21-year-old here. the fbi could not say much but investigators are telling us that they don't know much right now. shane's picture has been posted on every storefront and, in fact, some cases, drink specials have been replaced with signs like this across philadelphia and all across the city. here's what police are telling us. he was at a bar on thanksgiving eve. the bar was wrapping up for the

, or between individuals within the fbi. and each one of these artifacts, you could find textual documentation in our files that would tell you more about the significance of the artifacts you are seeing here. again, this is the black sweater oswald was wearing when he was shot. our conservators have put these in acid-free boxes with tissues. to preserve them. any labeling that would've been on the materials when they came to us, we have preserved every artifact of the artifacts. so any of these are all original labels. the national archives would not have put the labels on here. finally, this is the shirt oswald was wearing when he was shot. he was shot when he was in the custody of the dallas police, being moved from one place to another. and it was being filmed. so it was unusual. there was a lot of press available. the conservators at the national archives have experience in what we need them to. but if necessary, they will reach out to an expert. they have all been trained to deal with multiple types of materials. this

what do we know now from the fbi. >> what we know now is the fbi is attributing this attack to the north korean government and what the fbi said in a statement is we can conclude that the north korean government is responsible for these actions. the fbi also putting out some of the details of why they know that but they say they're not going to put out all of the details for fear of betraying u.s. intelligence secrets here as they reveal exactly what they know about north korean computers and capabilities. another interesting nuisance in this fbi statement is the praise here that the fbi has for sony in particular in the way it's handled this. take a look at the statement. they say sony reported this incident within hours which is what the fbi hopes all companies will do when facing a cyberattack. sony's quick reporting facilitated the investigators ability to do their jobs and ultimately to identify the source of the leaks. two things going on. one is that the fbi and sony in this investigation particularly in the early stages now are sort of joined at the hip on this and the fbi wants

that's been done by the fbi.olved the nsa, all of the intelligent agencies have been working on this. and we're told that the way they were able to do this was the hackers stole the credentials of a system administrator, somebody who had the keys to the kingdom at sony pictures, the entire computer system. and in that way they were able to get in there and lurk around really for months before they did anything, before anyone noticed. >> without detection? >> without detection. and then the amount of data that they were able to steal from the computer system is really enormous, which is what they have been releasing out there in the pub electric. >> and so it's affecting people on a very personal level because medical records, social security numbers, compensation amounts, inter-e-mail communications have been leaked and there's a bigger question about this film, "the interview". >> that's the amazing part of this. you have north korea attacking a private company and in that way you have, you know, the censorship

fbi agents are issued guns by the fbi. but when in the course of their duties an fbi agent uses his or her gun to kill someone, there's this interesting question about who investigates that kind of shooting? theoretically, any time someone gets shot and killed somewhere in america, the local prosecutor, wherever that happened, can and should investigate that killing. but when it is a federal law enforcement officer who did the killing, local prosecutors don't go there. there's, you know, rare once in a blue moon exception to that. if you get rid of that rounding error, basically, the answer is no. local authorities don't investigate when an agent from the fbi kills someone in the line of duty. instead, the fbi, this federal agency, investigates itself on one of its own agents uses deadly force. the freedom of information act request that charlie savage finally got fulfilled last summer was about the results of those investigations of themselves that the fbi did when one of its agents killed someone. turns out between 1993

imagine hypothetically that the fbi developer buys some technology that allows them to intercept and decrypt. doesn't matter how this would work. that technology will be really useful, so useful, even more useful because there are people saying things they would never have said because they think it is encrypted. that technology will be so useful those agencies will do everything they can to keep as close as possible. what we will encounter over and over again with every new law enforcement message is they will do everything in their power to keep that technology a secret because they will say if we discuss this in court it won't work anymore. what do we as a society do when the sources and methods must be kept secret from us and particularly what do we do when the techniques don't just invaded the privacy of the one person being targeted but like a stingray with tens or hundreds of thousands of people when they are thrown on an airplane over us city? the average person is never going to learn airplanes flying over their house with devices on board with information on their phone, th

agents, 1,000 fbi agents at this point in fbi history so this is as large as they were going to go at this point. in the six week trial in fall of 1941, william sebold was finally able to tell the truth, the defendants and their lawyers portrayed him as a fearsome nazi the goers' them into joining the aspiring. one of the marines' lives testified that he would never see his mother again if he didn't support the cause. another said i was afraid of him. this was a potent charging german america. memories were fresh of thousands of enemy aliens and german birth who were imprisoned density allegations of disloyalty during world war i. william sebold was seen by many of his own people as an embodiment of a new anti german cause, 10,000 german nationals of suspect loyalty would be in turned during world war ii. in their eyes he was a traitor to his people. the highlight of the trial were the film's. during the following week in brooklyn the nation was provided with the defense techniques being deployed against the enemy. after friedman and johnson testified about the office, sound recording

if warmer fbi biometrics expert joins me now from washington -- a former fbi biometrics expert.l, what do you think? are these new measures realistic, and they will improve the safety of the entire operation? >> it's a good question, and it it's into the water question of how they intend to use them. if you think about how the government uses this type of information to do background checks for employees, at the one end of the spectrum, you have the classic well-known failures of people like snowden and the shooter at the washington navy yard. at the other and, 99% work just fine. however, there are federal and state laws that have to do with what thing a prince can be submitted to the fbi to run a nationwide fingerprint check. currently, things like gambling casinos have state laws that permit them to send them to the fbi, but the answer is they do not go back to the casino. they go to the fbi's representative or state police or some consolidator who only is able to give them a yes/no type answer. i am a little confused as to how exactly they anticipate using these. if you woul

the fbi had them. the discussions were underway. were there no beheadings for six weeks at all, but al qaeda for the first time a public pronouncements calling for the saving of mr. kassig and the cessation of beheadings. clearly, there was positive movement underway that a nothing to do with money, head of the to do with buying freedom, and all based upon the discussion between religious leaders who were opposed to the beheadings and the captors, and i says, their leadership, the religious readership. >> why did jordan say they arrested him and what did the u.s. or didn't the u.s. do? >> initially, jordan said they arrested him because of a post he had done a month before. a post in which he called for unification because of the new crusades, meaning the bombings. i found it interesting that jordan arrested him and told the u.s. it was ok and go for it and you can do it, knowing two days later he was to be arrested. after his arrest, i reached out to the government immediately and i was very blunt. i said, you just basically killed

edgar hoover, the head of the fbi.oover wanted control of the investigation, but he didn't have it because of the texas authorities, it was the dallas police department's jurisdiction. so hoover told all his fbi agents that flooded into dallas the next day, find a conspiracy, because as long as you can find a conspiracy, then the fbi can run the investigation. so that's what all the fbi guys were looking for. they couldn't find it. >> in your book, you write that hoover's comments about the act of many, not one lone individual. you're right about city and the state, they had jurisdiction. but hoover came out and told everybody, jfk, rfk and the media that he was going to take control of it because he felt there was a conspiracy. >> hoover wanted it to be a conspiracy, because he wanted russians to be involved, they wanted all that. but he couldn't find it. >> you think hoover went looking for -- >> there's no doubt, find the conspiracy, find the people who did this. >> president kennedy was wearing a back brace that da

the fbi sited several factors for its conclusion. links to other malware including similarities in code and algorithms. they traced several international it addresses associated with known north korean infrastructure. and they found similarities with a cyberattack launched by north korea against south korea banks and media outlets. >> hello, north korea! >> the cyberattack was apparently motivated by the sony movie "the interview," a plot against north korea's leader. >> after threats of violence sony decided to cancel the movie. but president obama in his end of year news conference criticized that decision. >> yes, i think they made a mistake. we cannot have a society in which some dictator some place can start imposing censorship here in the united states. because if someone is able to intimidate folks out of releasing a satirical movie, imagine what they'll start to do if they see a documentary that they don't like or news report that they don't like. >> but sony disagrees with the president. they issued a statement. sony ceo sai

and the fbi did lay out part of their case about why they reached the conclusion they did.ut we're told that that was just the tip of the iceberg. as this investigation continues, the fbi could release even more information backing up their case. christine. >> okay, pamela brown, thank you for that. >>> now, there's been a dramatic drop in arrests in new york city in event weeks because police officers reportedly fear for their safety. some police officers have set that arrests have plummeted after two officers were gunned down while signature in their squad card in brooklyn. meantime there was no resolve between a two-of had-hour meeting between mayor bill de blasio and the police union. >> there were a number of discussions especially about the safety issues that our members face. there was no resolve, and our thought here today is that actions speak louder than words, and time will tell. >> the funeral for officer wenjian liu, one of the two officers gunned down in brooklyn the funeral has been set for sunday. >>> police in edmundton, alberta say a man described as suici

we are not doing it directly. >> but the fbi didn't hedge at all, give any questions, they said the fbi now has enough information to conclude that the north korean government is responsible for these actions. very tough statement from the fbi. chris frates is here with me. you've been doing some reporting. it's not just private companies that are vulnerable to these kinds of cyberattacks. the u.s. government is vulnerable as well. >> that's what i found, wolf. i reviewed the cyberattacks across federal government agencies and found that they are up 35%. in 2010, 34,000 cyberincidents. last year, 46,000. i spoke to some experts and they say that this cyberspying is up. what are people going after? the army corps of engineer was hacked and what was taken was the sensitive information about 85,000 dam as across the countr and how many fatalities could happen if they were breached. so i asked, are we not spending enough money? what is going on? we spent $10 billion last year on information security and the experts tell me that's not really the problem. the problem seems to be in a lot of c

but this is the evidence that the fbi has produced.s is the statement that they released and technique call analysis of the malware revealed links that the fbi know north korean actors previously developed and significant overlap between the infrastructure used in this attack and other malicious cyber activity the u.s. government has previously linked to north korea. and similar to a cyber attack in march of last year against south korean bank and outlets. and it says the fbi will impose costs and consequences on all nation states who use cyber means to threaten the united states or u.s. interests. some cyber experts that i know are saying it is still a bit circumstance stan shall for several reasons malware is shared amongst different hackers. you also have to take as read the previous attacks were indeed from north korea, and the cyberspaces are so murky. but whether we're going to get any further evidence i doubt. >> i suppose we could say that north korea was the target of this film that was going to be out. that has caused uproar

the fbi and lapd teamed up to arrest 45-year-old raul espinoza. he wanted several hundred thousand dollars for seven paintings. >> we took him into custody after he provided all the artwork. >> the artwork is in the possession of the fbi. after the heist, the victim's family received a payout from the insurance company. investigators tell us, the family will get a chance to buy back the artwork, if they decide to return the insurance money. >> we believe there's nine that we have here but there are three that are outstanding. >> reporter: because several people were inside the home, investigators aren't sure if the heist was an inside job. they are now offering a $25,000 reward for information to help close the case. cbs 2 news. >>> thought controlled robotic arms may sound like a thing of the future, but they have become a reality. scientists at john hopkins created the limbs. one man that lost his arm four years ago in an accident was the first to try out the invention. he can move the arms just by thinking about moving his arms. researchers say

that's the fbi response to what happened to sony. they are blaming north korea today, ambassador, are you surprised? >> well, i'm not surprised that north korea has been accused of cyberattacks on south korea, possibly iran, possibly china to build up cyberwarfare capability. i say this about the fbi response, this may well constitute this attack on sony, a criminal violation in many respects. but you know, the fbi is not the first line of national security defense. if this is indeed an action perpetrated by the north korean government, i think we have a national security issue here. the obama administration has said as much, and while i'm thankful the fbi is involved, i wish them all good luck. what i'd like to know is what the department of defense is prepared to do about this. gerri: that is a great question, my response is can the fbi handle this? who is the fbi in an international problem of this nature? theresa, you said you saw the white house attacked every day when you were cio, what is the fbi's line of defense as the ambas

met with the fbi. what does the fbi think of their claim this was an inside job? >> well they're not buying it. this was a meeting that you know i thought was very strange. i asked some folks about this. you know a lot of times fbi comes out with a finding and then you have people who poke holes in it. and the fbi doesn't normally give them the time of day. in this case they had a three-hour meeting in st. louis with this company. and i asked them why it is they would even have it if they are so sure what their own findings have found. and what i'm told is you know the fbi wanted to make sure they heard they're not accused of not hearing out everybody who believes they have evidence. now, i'll tell you this the fbi's findings, i'm told are based not only on the fbi's own forensic work but also on stuff they probably will never release. stuff we'll never be able to see. stuff from the intelligence community, especially the nsa which has, i'm told very good visibility on the internet traffic in that region. they have a lot of focus on that region obviously. and so t

and the fbi did lay out part of their case about why they reached the conclusion they did. but we're told that that was just the tip of the iceberg, as this investigation continues, the fbi could release even more information backing up their case. christine. >> all right. policeman brown, thank you for that in washington. also here in the home republican leaders are ringing in the new year with some damage control after it was revealed number three ranking house republican louisiana's steve scalise gave a speech to a white supremacist group back in 2002 a group founded by former kkk grand wizard david duke. scalise now admits he made a mistake and pleads ignorance. >> i'm not familiar with what that group was, but from what i see, they don't represent the values that i represent i detest hate groups of any kind. >> house speaker boehner standing by his minority w.h.i.p. saying he made a bad move in judgment and stands behind him. >> there have been hundreds of cameras and some of which are displayed on the screen in our jack by the joint operations center and monitored liv

i'm a fan of the fbi. thoughtful organization when it comes to investigating whether it's physical or online crimes. and in this particular case you may have a situation where it's actually both. it could be that these internal hackers -- remember they were fired -- supposedly if it's the ones we're talking about, six months ago. they could have set up the back door. north korean hackers are already getting ready for the movie to come out, trying to figure out what their reaction is going to be and come upon something and all of a sudden there's this culmination of a perfect storm where you have internal disgruntled employees starting something that the north koreans take advantage of. so it could be just as well true that the fbi is sticking by the fact that it is in fact north korea without completely ignoring the fact that it could be insiders who either inadvertently or on purpose ended up helping another country. >> thank you so much. appreciate it. that's it for "the lead." i now turn you over to bri

we are joined now live from washington, d.c., and just what is the fbi saying?t is saying there is no doubt that north korea are behind this? >> reporter: yeah, i have that statement in my hands now. for some reason printed in very small type to bear with me. but it says as a result of our investigation, the fbi now has enough information to conclude that the north korean government is responsible for these actions. while the need to protect sensitive sources and methods precludes us from sharing all of this information, our conclusion is based in part on the following, technical analysis of the data deletion malware used in the attack. the fbi observed significant overlap between the infrastructure used in this attack and other malicious cyber activity the u.s. government has previously linked directly to north korea. i'm summarizing some of this. separately the tools used in the sony attack has similarities used against south korea last year that was carried out by north korea. we are deeply concerned about the destructive nature of this attack. and it reaffir

it was the fbi. because this administration treats almost everything as an act of criminal activity. and so you have the fbi saying it's a criminal act, perpetrated with threats to americans and threats to do bad things in the future. then this president says he's going to take a response at the time and place of our choosing, right? this president has no track record of ever following through on those things. he didn't do it with north korea when they opened -- >> and he didn't do the red line when assad was gassing his sichblz. >> didn't do it with fast and furious, didn't do it with irs, didn't do it with again gazi. he's not going to do it now. >> you just said it's not an act of war, the fbi's treating it like a criminal act. >> the defense department announced it, pro admiral kirby would have had an answer to that question. >> you don't think it's an act of war, though. you think it's a criminal offense. >> simply because of the way our government has approached it. you could certainly say thes

you've been following this. >> here is the key sentence in this long fbi statement, quote, the fbi hasor these actions referring to the attack on the sony entertainment computer system. they say they're not going to give a lot of detail here about why they've concluded it, but they do offer these data points on why they're attributing this attack to north korea. they say analysis of the malware that was planted in the sony computer system revealed links to other malware that the fbi knows north korea has previously developed. the phrase they use knows north korean actors previously developed. for example, they say there were similarities in specific lines the computer code, in the way that the malware was encrypted, and the way it worked. the method for deleting data and how it comprised the network. that's the first point. in essence, digital fingerprints to known malware that had been attributed to north korea earlier. secondly, they say, they detected significant overlap between the infrastructure used in this attack and other malicious cyber activity that had previously been linked

the evidence all points to north korea, according to the fbi. computer code, algorithms, the i.p. addresses. but that's not necessarily a clear path to pyongyang. >> it's all circumstantial evidence that can be faked. >> reporter: scott borg's security group says there were elements in the sony attack that went beyond their skill level. >> the biggest one is they were able to carry on with activities inside sony's network for so long without being spotted, moving possibly terabytes of data without anyone knowing requires a lot of skill. opening documents all over the place to download them and no one noticing, requires skill. earlier this year, there was no sign of that level of skill. >> reporter: he believes some of it may have been outsourced. but to whom. >> most likely, this was hacking talent that volunteered to help them or criminals that they hired or someone inside of sony who provided them with all kinds of inside access. >> reporter: u.s. investigators have evidence that hackers stole the computer credentials of a sony system administ

the fbi meets with norse. then what does the fbi say after that meeting? are they won over at all or not? >> absolutely not. the fbi stands behind its initial assessment. that north korea is the sole suspect. they say nothing on that front has changed. there's no credible information to indicate that any other individuals were involved with the sony hack. so we talked about the fact that the fbi met with cyber experts from the company norse last night. this company actually launched its own independent investigation. and the company says it shared data with the fbi indicating that other individuals not directly linked to the north korean government were involved in the hack including a former sony employee of ten years who was laid off last may. norse contends this employee is actually the one that gave the top secret administrator credentials and handed it over to the hackers, guardians of peace, who then claimed responsibility for the hack. but the fbi is saying again, no credible information to back that up. and they say their assessment didn't just com
