for example, there was a cold war thai to langley. there was an engineer who had worked here at langley, i think he left in 1946 to go to the ames laboratory, but he was connected with the famous rosenberg case, if you remember they were executed for spying for the russians, and an engineer who had worked here at langley was actually put on trial and convicted of perjury, but the government had charged him with passing secrets to the russians and so, the research on that was fascinating because the fbi came to hampton, they not on people's doors, they were investigating this whole situation thinking that people were communists so that was another very surprising link that hampton virginia had to this great global struggle between the united states and the russians. what is the riskiest thing you have done or kind of parallel to that, would you be brave enough to go into space also? would you be an astronaut if you didn't have to do any other homework but you could just go based on all the math that has been done before us? >> the ques

monica langley from the "wall street journal" is reporting that donald jr.nd eric will be running their father's businesses, will not be attending meetings once he becomes president, and ivanka and her husband are going to be taking on roles in the white house. do you think it is enough? >> no, we did not elect a king and royal family to conduct the family businesses and affairs of state at the same time, to have royal warrants and this kind of license. this family needs to divest itself of all of its holdings, not just a blind trust. it's got to be divested, and particularly we need the congress to look at the relationship between donald trump's holdings and russia, his debts in russia, why he hasn't shown his tax returns? perhaps it has something to do with russian businesses and perhaps we can follow the money and see who some of his business partners are and if they're russians. we need to find out about trump, russia, the holdings that he has refused to show us, and his family. >> richard, i want to get your take on this because yesterday we saw ivanka,

mark preston, monica langley and david shelling. this is unbelievable. this is what the president-elect tweeted. mark, he said if russia or some other entity was hacking why did the white house wait to long to act? why did they only complain after hillary clinton lost. what stands out to you on this? >> i think it's his vanity at this point. it appears he's viewing this through the lens that people don't think he won the election legitimately and he only won because there was russian hacking and the leak of the john podesta e-mails and what have you. i think donald trump has created basically an escalation of the war of words between barack obama's outgoing administration and donald trump's incoming administration. >> how is this viewed by the president-elect and his team? >> his team and the president-elect believe they are trying to delegitimize his election, his win. i talked to somebody high level within the trump organization today with the transition. they said donald trump is spending zero time on worrying about the russian hack. he's spending tim

they went forward with the narrative out of langley that supported hillary's lie. >> it is almost likeelligence community wants everyone to forget all of, you know, its black spots over the last several years, the things that they missed about chinese base militarization, the threat at the border being open, obviously benghazi is a big one, and many more. it is like -- it is almost like the shiny object of trump is over here, so no one will focus on the deficiencies that obviously exist. there are great men and women in the intelligence agencies, but this smacks of such bitterness, sean, and sour grapes. the fact of the matter is there is absolutely no proof that this changed the outcome of the election. i know the fox news poll showed that 59% of the respondents don't think it had any effect on the election. the idea that the voters were obsessed about russia getting into dnc e-mails, the question is and still is the importance of what was in hillary's e-mails. why did she delete e-mails? why did she go about, you know, scrubbing and bleach bitting her e-mail device? why did that happ

of this with our political panel let's bring in "washington post" columnist josh rogan and monica langley and cnn counterterrorism analyst and phil mudd. great to have all of you here for this very important conversation. josh, so, we have heard now for weeks, maybe months, that russia was somehow involved in hacking into the dnc's computers and somehow possibly thereby swaying the election. what is new here? what is the bombshell today? >> what we've got now is more official confirmation that went to thihoost leve highest level russian government. not as if russian government hackers are freelancing. this can only be done with top level political cover and getting more intelligence and more sources among the intelligence community and the white house press secretary is going on. we're moving past the point of the discussion where did the russians do it and moving to, okay, what do we do about it? that's really the more important part of the discussion. >> except, josh, that assumes we can define we as everybody. let's bounce that concept to you, phil mudd, because the nature of how this

now, donald trump has never spent time in washington, so he's never been to langley, virginia, that hold c.i.a. headquarters. he would find on the wall of stars 113 names of american c.i.a. operatives and employees who died defending this country, and one of them, hugh redman, was 19 years a prisoner in shanghai where he was tortured by the chinese communists. i should not get ahead of myself because donald trump doesn't like people who were captured, he likes people who weren't captured. but these are patriots and people who work hard and no president who's coming in should ever disparage or demean or denigrate the heroic efforts these people go to to keep us safe. >> ramesh, mark mentioned rex tillerson choice by donald trump to head the state department. they will be these confirmation hearings. what do you think is going to come out of that? do you think he's going to sail through knowing what we know about his close connections with mr. putin? >> my suspicion is he will not see this process as one of sailing through. i think there will be tough questioning. i think he comes with som

years of water-boarding and he put a lot of time and effort into that, made a number of trips to langleydn't let the doj prosecute anyone who may have broken the law by torturing people. >> the idea that those men and women are in the cross-hairs of donald trump has gotten the president back up. >> it may have the president's back up but many look at him and go, this is the same president that told mitt romney that the '80s called and wants his foreign policy back. many in the press laughed heartily at the campaign for thinking that. this is why i am saying, when it's a fairly nuanced conclusion from the cia that playing it safe and down the middle from the podium is the smarter thing to do. >> i want to play a sound from democratic senator harry reid. he made a comment today about fbi director james comey that i want you to weigh in on. >> i think that it's about time that comey acknowledged publicly what a disservice he has rendered to our country by doing nothing, nothing except interfering with the election that is beyond all precedent, what he did. he became such a partisan that he
