Intelligence community believes russia launched a massive hacking and Disinformation Campaign to undermine the democratic process and hurt Hillary Clinton, win or lose. That finding contained in a highly sanitized public version of the Intelligence Report delivered to president elect trump. The heads of the fbi, nsa, cia and director of National Intelligence briefed the next president on evidence russia conspired to tamper with the election. Before hearing a word, trump told the New York Times the investigation into russian hacking was a political witch hunt. Afterward, he issued a statement saying there was absolutely no effect on the outcome of the election. Democrats say thats not the point. The American People have a right to know what a foreign power did to disrupt our election. The report finds a russians developed a clear preference trump. Russian officials congratulated each other after his unexpected win. At the capital, Vice President biden led congress in formalizing the electoral vote.

We keep losing the sunday business and keep losing the weekday business selling liquor on sunday was so important back in 2015. We are struggling to survive in here. Yesterday he was one of four people arrested for allegedly bribing elected officials to make sure his business was awarded a sunday liquor sales license. Im disappointed and im quite honestly pissed off. Strong reaction to liquor board officials allegedly violating public trust. Any time an elected official abuses their position, its a betrayal to the people of Prince Georges County and the state of maryland.

Two liquor store businesses were also arrested, their businesses raided as well, including palmers liquor and Central Avenue restaurant anli the affidavit also refers to an unnamed elected offial who accepted bribes from sun, the director of the liquor board.

Back to politics and that Intelligence Reported that claims russia did meddle in the runup to the president ial election. Chuck todd joins us now. What do you make of what the president elect said before and after getting this report . Look, he said witch hunt after a statement written in his name at least ratcheted back the rhetoric against the Intelligence Community. Ive talked to a few republican senators. Theyre relieved he didnt attack the Intelligence Community after receiving the briefing. Theyre still concerned that he will not fully endorse the idea that russia was behind what was going on. The report itself is pretty damning. They have the digital fingerprints. This is not a circumstantial case. I think that the confla, t trco if they put out details they tell the russians exactly how they know this information. The other thing thats interesting is there are still active investigations into what relationships did the russians have here in the United States. Because theres stilg sol some question of the go between here. They had to have some American Connections to truly understand what they had with the podesta hack. The sudden change in tone and afterwards the message was not as flippant as the previous ones had been, i would homemade hold off on anything until we hear from him.

The biggest one that can be impacted by russia is Rex Tillerson for secretary of state. Ive talked to some republicans senators. They pretty much are connecting, you know if donald trump continues down this road, john mccain and Lindsey Graham stopped short of saying this but they sort of are hinting that it may cost their votes for Rex Tillerson. Theres only 52 republicans in the senate. Trump cant afford to lose more than two. It could easily go from two to ten in a who think its time to get tough on russia. Trumps not there yet. Those confirmation hearings happening on wednesday. Any strategy behind that . I doubt theres as much strategy as some people are trying to read into it. I personally think that january 11th was picked by trump because of whats happening on january 10th, president obamas farewell address. That got announced today. It was literally within 24 hours that he said its sort of their way of turning the page. The curtain rises. Exactly. I think it had more to do with president obama laying out when his farewell address was going to be. Who do you have on the john mccain and Lindsey Graham. Very appropriate. That should be lively. All things russia and this hack. And ash carter, secretary of defense, basically an exit interview of sorts. But were going to be talking about the military for his successor.
