categories? and how should americans process that where we go to the polls in a few months? should people be confident when they pull the lever they are secure? i think we have said this fairly consistently in the context of 2018, we are not yet seeing the same kind of efforts to specifically target election infrastructure, you know, voter registration data bases in particular. we are seeing malign information, the information warfare we talked about. that is a 24/7, 365 days a year phenomenon that doesn t turn necessarily on whether or not we are in the middle of an election season or not. but as director coats said, any moment is a moment before the dial can be turned up one much as we saw in 2016. not affecting the vote count but in terms of the potential penetration of the voter registration data bases or

the president whether or not he might intervene executively to change the rules to say all fbi agents would have to get a warrant to search these foreign intelligence data bases and i think that is good policy and i m hopeful there is no promise made i m hopeful those discussions will be ongoing. you also told me and you re on record as opposing the nomination of deputy cia director gina haspel to become the new cia director replacing mike pompeo. is there any chance the president will convince you or change your mind? did you discuss her nomination with the president? no we didn t and ty i think it is unlikely i will change my mind and i think it is not good for someone to be ahead of the cia that torture and she s a bad choice to head the cia and sends a terrible message to our enemies. i have family members in the military and i don t want them serving with the knowledge that other countries will say i guess
