from yesterday s testimony, from the intelligence community chiefs, we know the assessment is the russians are going to continue this type of information operations against the united states. they did it in 2016. they did it a little bit less detectably in 2018. i think it s coming in 2020. the intelligence community is assessing they re learning as they go, which is to be expected. the particularly interesting thing for me that i smiled at, this is such typical russian m.o. inserting false information and changing things around. people ask, for example, about wikileaks. what exactly did it doesn t matter. as soon as the russians get access to something like wikileaks or get into the stream of information, they ll create whatever documents or whatever e-mails they ll want, adjust however they want to. it s interesting they targeted the mueller investigation. you have to ask yourself why are they concerned about the mueller investigation, perhaps the same
car. exactly. and even from roger stone s account, the fbi was professional and respectful, as i would expect them to be when they did their job in this situation. steve, just in terms of russians trying to spread disinformation to discredit the mueller investigation using information that they got from their attorneys from the mueller investigation, is that straight out of the russian playbook? oh, yeah, absolutely. it s definitely and we know from yesterday s testimony, from the intelligence community chiefs, we know the intelligence community assessment is the russians are going to continue these type of information operations against the united states. they did it in 2016. they did it a little bit less or maybe less detect bly in 2020. the intelligence community is assessing they re learning as they go, which is to be expected. so yeah. the particularly interesting thing for me that i smiled at, this is such typical russian

in the way of that. to give a little bit understanding to the president. a lot of americans are using this episode to challenge his legitimatesy as president. the ic simply wants to make america better defended and we can only do that if we get to the facts of this case. which is interesting. he s got the ultimate, he can say the intel communities are not saying that i m not legitimately the president but i want to investigate this to make sure our elections aren t compromised. i think that s really the ultimate that would be classic. i am a legitimate president, this is a serious matter. i m going to go to camp david with my intelligence community chiefs we re going to get to the bottom of this. i know you read the secure form last week. i want to get your reactions from what we heard there. watch this. i am confident that the
