for political or purposes or putting it in the media without any kind of official base. so, senator, elise jordan earlier this morning talked about concern in the intel community about some of the evidence, but also concern that if this was such a devastating hack, then why, many are asking, didn t this administration do more earlier? i actually read a politico article saying that you had pressed them i guess in the spring to take a far more aggressive stand against russia on this issue. can you tell us about that? i would say, first, the hack of the dnc is something russia ought not to have done and should pay a price for it. if you want to talk about what they have committed the u.s. interests the last decade that is pretty far down the list. it s true i and many others on chill have tried to push the administration and take a firmer
make sense of the horrors, and how communities react, and if it s possible to pick up and move on, if you had something as horrific as your 8-year-old son killed in front of you while you were on a beautiful spring day watching a marathon, and these are heavy and complicated questions, and we felt a real responsible the to talk to these folks as much as they wanted to talk to us, to hear their stories and see how they were going through the process of grieving and to give them our word that, you know, you can t always define what that line of taste is, b there s a line and you kind of know when you crossed it, and we gave them, you know, our word that we would work hard never to cross that, and i feel like we did that. every american community that has been hit, 9/11 and onwords response to a similar way, but every city is different, and talk about boston strong and the
which i think is horrible and a terrible decision. do you that privately. you don do that out in public if you have a problem with the agency. you can come in not trusting your intelligence operatives but you do that behind closed doors. you clean how. nixon didn t trust his cia when he went in. the way he has handled this has been a disaster and it s damaging to america s intelligence operations. so it is interesting, willie, we have heard the head of the fbi and cia believe that russia has worked together has worked to try to impact the election. but the evidence, it seems to be people are still trying to find the evidence that actually connects the dots. and they are trying to even if they agree about the hacking, they are trying to find out what the intent of the hacking was. was it specifically to make donald trump president of the united states as some of the intel community have said? or to create chaos within our electoral system. what the russians do constantly every
