whether there was any coordination between the campaign and russia's efforts. >> why did fbi director james comeyong to do that? the clinton folks say their polling shows that comey's public discussion of the investigation into her before the election cost them the election. would it have affected the vote if james comey discussed the investigation into trump before the election? while his agency was investigating both candidates, did his speech, his public speech about one of those investigations before the election and his silence about the other before the election, did that change the course of history? if so, why did he do it? and what does that tell us about his handling the russia investigation now? joining us is matt apew zero of the "new york times." he's part of reporting team for this new blockbuster story in the "times" this weekend. comey tried to shield the fbi from politics, then he shaped an investigation. thanks for being here tonight. >> thanks for having me, rachel. >> let me ask about the way that i laid this out. you describe in our report that people who are close to james c

to go on the record about the investigation into the trump campaign too, but james comey wouldge of the he would talk about hillary clinton being under fbi investigation, happy to do that, but el not talk about trump being under investigation too. would confirm nor discuss it at all. they were both under investigation. there were some democrats who tried at the time before the election back in september to make clear to him how nuts that was. >> is there a different standard for secretary clinton and donald trump? if not, what is the consistent standard? >> no, our standard is not we do not confirm nor deny. there's an exception when there's a need for the public to be reassured when it's public activities that the investigation is ongoing. but our overwhelming rule is we do not comment except in certain exceptional circumstances. >> aren't there exceptional circumstances when close officials to a candidate of a major political party for the united states says publicly that he's in communication with foreign officials and anticipates further illegal activity? >> i don't think s

but so far, the only missing link they've found is eric. [ laughter ] james comey also said today thathas found no information that supports president trump's tweets that former president obama wiretapped trump tower. added comey, "to be fair, the only place we've checked is hillary's e-mails." [ laughter and applause ] you can't check her e-mails enough. according to a new survey, only 43% of u.s. voters can name a supreme court justice. said one voter, "hey, i tried to name one, but they wouldn't let me."

this was going on, evan, during the election, democrats will almost certainly complain that comey, james comey, fbi director, spoke about the fbi's investigation of hillary clinton during the election campaign. but never spoke about this. >> right, exactly. that's a criticism we've heard repeatedly from democrats, wolf. the explanation that comey has given both to lawmakers and people he has talked to about this is that in contrast to the clinton investigation which was in his view and fbi's view a done investigation wrapped up, finished. the trump investigation was just getting started last july and certainly was not done by the time the election came around. >> interesting stuff. good reporting. thanks very much, evan perez and your entire team for that report. >>> now threats coming from north korea and u.s. military's response. let's go to the pentagon correspondent barbara starr. what are you learning? >> reporter: kb evening, wolf. the u.s. military add long-standing program for missile defense for countries like north korea and iran but two key upcoming tests next month are get somethin

remember that, 11 days for the election, donald trump got an unexpected boost when fbi director james comey notified congress and the country, the newly discovered e-mails warranted the reopening of the investigation into hillary clinton's server. ever since that bomb shell announcement, they've blamed comey for tipping the election, since we know trump and his campaign were under investigation at that same time which he did not confirm publicly until last month. now the "new york times" is out with a play by play account of director comey's decision making. >> he rewrote the script, partly based on the fbi's expectation at she would win and fearing would be accused of helping her. michael schmidt of the "new york times" who wrote that piece. now with a foreign policy research. thank you. michael, democrats around me, when i talk to them, comey, they say 11 days before the election he changed everything. it was a game changer. she was winning in all the polls. suddenly for 11 days people are thinking what's the fbi got and all the sleez of anthony and all the bad stuff came flowing in and a

about whether you wanted to vote for hillary clinton, obviously you heard that letter and what james comeyhat hillary clinton would win and that was a driving force at least to put this information out, that he was afraid that everybody would come back afterwards and say, hey, you were on her side, and you held back from this. that's one of the reasons he made it public. >> and this discussion with loretta lynch, that was one of the more interesting pieces of those whole thing. >> didn't trust her; right? >> yeah. and said didn't call it an investigation, call it a matter. abby: a situation. >> a situation. abby: well, meanwhile the democrats are out trying to pick up the pieces because they had a rough election, and they're willing to win a lot of states come 2018. so tom perez who is the new head of the dnc, out cursing a lot of time really giving it to president trump. take a listen. >> in 2018, you're not just going to say heck no, you're going to say hell no. he does not want anything branded. trump care. or maybe ryan care. i tell you what i call it? i don't care because he doesn't g

in that same interview, donald trump said this about james comey. quote, i have confidence in him, end quote. of course. the president of the united states saying the fbi director let a secretary of state get away with crimes would be the most massive story of most previous years of the american presidency. but today it's ignored because the miracle happened. donald trump stood at a podium and didn't fall on his face. he said nothing outright stupid about nato, which means he did not say one word about nato that he said every day on the campaign trail about nato. in his press conference with the nato secretary general, the president was asked the key question about last week's chemical attack in syria. did vladimir putin know about the attack before it occurred? and of course, of course donald trump gave vladimir putin the benefit of the doubt. >> mr. president, do you think it's conceivable, what's your instinct, was it possible that syrian forces could have launched that attack in italy in the last week without the russians knowing? and have you b

i've met james comey.point in time i don't have any reason to not trust him, and you know, i want to see where this investigation goes and what he actually produces. >> can i ask you real quick about the iran deal? donald trump ran saying that it was -- it was a bad deal. a horrible deal. you agree with that, but his secretary of state just told congress that iran is sticking to the terms of the nuclear deal. they do want to review sanctions. they want to start continuing reviewing sanctions, though, but the fact that tillerson is saying they're sticking to the terms of the deal. the deal is still in place, does this make it harder to rip it up eventually if republicans wanted to do so as they promised they did? >> i think you have a couple of issues there. number one is are they sticking to the terms of the deal and it appears that the secretary of state, the u.s. government believes they are sticking to the terms of the deal. the second point was it a bad deal? i still think it was a bad deal especially

but also director james comey's f.b.i.who sought that warrant and he reeve mains the head of the f.b.i. why? >> i don't know. but we have been hearing you can't get a fisa warrant like this. you north old saying a clemp attorney could indict a ham sandwich. i wonder if a clever attorney uld get a fisa warrant. loretta lynch was headinthe justice department. the process might have been abused to get this warrant.th congress needs to look into this. lou: do you believe the united nations has now outlived its usefulness? cast your vote@lou dobbs. on wall street stocks closeded lower today. the dow down 59 points. if the nasdaq down 31 points. the dollar falling to session lows after president trump told the "wall street journal" theto. he was the same candidate who promised to well remind the world that china is a currency manipulator. but circumstances and exchangece markets do change. the united scandal continuing to hurt the airline stocks. shares down another 1%. listen to my reports three times a day coast to coast on th

well, that's not -- what president obama may not have done it, what we know according to james comey, and this did not happen. we can debate susan rice. but that we know is not true. >> brianna, the white house and the president and his supporters they think they've got something now. >> with what susan rice said? >> yes. >> that's right. because this is an issue what she said because you cannot say what they said, which is she knows nothing about it, she knows nothing about what? about the incidental collection of intelligence of trump campaign officials. so secondary, right? because the idea being that foreign officials are being tarked and they were caught up in this and they were talking to the foreign officials. you can't say that if you were saying you requested to unmask even for a completely not necessarily benign but for a good purpose of national security to unmask the identities of trump campaign officials who were caught up, what, incidentally in surveillance. what we saw rice getting herself into a lost trouble but just handing -- i don't want to say trump, i don't want t

james comey said it could be part of an organized plan to undermine confidence in the elections.hat so-called troll farms are spreading false information online. internet trolls were part of russian efforts to influence the presidential election. trace gallagher has the news. director comey says the fbi does not take sides. >> he knows that democrats are still angry because he came out 11 days before the election said the fbi uncovered new information in the e-mail investigation and come under fire for investigating ties between the trump campaign and the russians. comey is trying to say he's only looking for the truth. >> we confuse people? we did a lot last year that confused people? because they're seeing the world. i guess i mean this as a criticism. but they see the world through sides. if you see the world through sides, the fbi doesn't make sense to you. >> comey says his goal is to make sure the world knows that the fbi is nonpartisan and transparent. >> and comey signed off on a tv series about the filibuster? >> yes. it's called "inside the fbi new york" and being done

. >> have you figured out a timetable for james comey, james clapper and sally yates and the comey interviewed to still be behind closed doors. have there been any agreements on the timetable? >> that's one of the interesting things about this change in leadership in the investigation. remember the comey-rogers meeting so urgent was proposed to be scheduled right on top of that open hearing exactly at the same time the open hearing the deputy attorney general was supposed to testify. that had the effect of canceling the open hearing sadly i think was part of the intent. in my mind, in fact was that closed hearing with rogers and comey really that ur 2gent. we'll see where he goes with this. >> paul ryan said he had confidence in nunes and now he says he respects his decision to step aside as the issues become a distraction. >> chairman nunes, where he goes from here is in the hands of the ethics committee. we will see where they come out and we'd like that to proceed in as nonpartisan a fashion we can. one characterization i'd like to take issue here, you were running comments of sean spicer

this is what -- this is what james comey testified to.e heard from the fbi director that they did not change a single vote. >> what the fbi director -- well, first of all, steve. steve: these what he said. >> the fbi director said two things that were of note in that hearing. one, he said there was no evidence to support donald trump's tweets about wiretapping number one. number two, he said there is a criminal investigation to determine if there was collusion between the trump campaign and the russians. steve: we have heard the democratically toss points a million times. >> that's not democrat talking points, steve. that's james comey's testimony. steve: thank you very much. let's move to your brother. dallas, there is zero evidence that the russians did collude with team trump in getting him to be president of the united states. but the story that trump referred to as the trump surveillance scandal where if it is true, the adam housley reportage that came out on friday, a higher up, a member of the barack obama white house unmasked surv

vladimir putin, kim jong, james comey, donald trump, hillary clinton did not make the list which is crazyfluenced a whole half of the country to vote for donald trump for president. why do some cash back cards make earning bonus cash back so complicated? they limit where you can earn bonus cash back to a few places... ...and those places keep changing every few months. the quicksilver card from capital one doesn't do any of that. with quicksilver you earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase, everywhere. leave complicated behind. what's in your wallet? there's nothing more than my vacation.me so when i need to book a hotel room, i want someone that makes it easy to find what i want. booking.com gets it. they offer free cancellation if my plans change. visit booking.com. booking.yeah.

but the problem is that james comey, the director of the f.b.i., is leading one branch of the investigationand for the last self months, democrats have been blaming director comey for his investigation of hillary clinton during the last election. so he's hardly a democratic stooge. >> pelley: now, democrats say that the house investigation has been tainted because the chairman of the intelligence committee there has been cooperating with the white house. how is that going to shake out? >> well, there are two challenges for the chairman period of time first is that one, which is he too close to the president whose team he is investigating? is his investigation fact based or is it partisan? and has he become an advocate for the president's point of view? but if his serious claim that obama aides or allies exposed trump campaign staffers that were inadvertently caught in surveillance, if that claim turns out to be true then that will overshadow those complaints about coziness. what's harder to shake is the second challenge, last week devin nunes claimed a whistleblower source gave him informat
