listen, if you ve got the goods, show it to us. yeah. i think the comment from peter king is actually the important comment here. what you re having is a campaign of leaks. the nbc report that peter and martha just discussed, that s a serious allegation that vladimir putin himself directed the hacking to interfere with the u.s. election. it s sourced to two senior u.s. intelligence officials. if they have that information, it is incumbent upon them to provide it to the american people, to provide it to the oversight committees in congress. and i would argue to do it in an open session. if i were chairman devin nuñes and seeking more information, i would insist these hearings take place in an open session so that the american people can see the evidence we ve accumlated and evaluate it on its merits rather than relying on leaks from a cia that, i have to say, has been rather political throughout the obama administration. bill: these electors want to see this evidence before they vote
election is over and we know who won. it s not who the president supported, but we know who won. and the president has now ordered a deep dive into this through clapper where we should get all our intelligence agencies together and see what actually took place. let s face it, there s a lot of lessons to be learned from this and to know how they ve been able to do this, why they have done it and clear up some of the accusations that have been made through this anonymous report. martha: yeah. they according to devin nuñes, they have a constitutional responsibility when you call upon them to brief you. does that, you know, does that lay out what the timely manner issue is on that, and have they given you an indication of when they may do this? you know, it certainly doesn t. we have a constitutional duty to provide the oversight, and they have a constitutional duty to respond to us. we were willing to fly back from our homes to be there to get this done, to get the process underway a

thing that you can t deny they say, well, there were all the e-mails, and the russians were behind the hacks. no, the russians didn t make these individuals write those words in those e-mails, and so while we do want to get to the bottom of what has transpired, i think we do have to realize, you know bill: when democrats say it cost her the election, what do you think? i think that is another of their justifications in a long list of justifications of why they lost. and they need to start learning from why they lost. they completely misred the american people misread the american people. they were out of step, and they had a candidate that the american people did not like and didn t want to vote for. bill: so how does this story end though? where does it go? this story yes. this story is going to end where it ought to end. the house, chairman nuñes, has said they are trying to get their investigation, they are trying to find out why there is
