emails simply vanished. right. we re learning more and more. it is coming out in dribs and drabs. we re learning that yes, the irs had a contract with a vendor who was managing their email systems and backups on servers. that contract was apparently terminated just a few weeks after this hard drive crash occurred back in 2011. so that is something that congressman ice is going to probe tomorrow and tonight i m sure. we may learn a few more details. i m not expecting we ll learn a whole lot, but maybe a few more details that move this story forward a little bit. this is one of those stories, jon, that will not go away anytime soon because it is really, the explanation that the administration, that the irs has provided is so implausible you can t find anyone really when you ask them whether these emails can just disappear a trace, nobody believes that. that is one of the reasons this story is going to stick around. jon: rosemary woods tried to explain who she erased some
clearing them out. the irs do thee those in two same? everybody knows how email systems work now. can you produce these emails if they wanted to quickly. they don t want to. they don t want to produce the emails. they have provided. in fairness, you do have to say they have to redact things and there is probably some confidential or private information. not like you can just bulk send them. i think they could bulk send them. that s the way that they were requested and leave it to the committee to redact things or withhold things or work with the committee to redact things and withhold things. but, they have chosen not to do that i found that extraordinary that mr. koskinen couldn t answer a yes or no question will you supply with the subpoena? that should be an easy answer, yes. the irs commissioner says he has 250 again, what he says, 250 employees working to produce hundreds of thousands of documents at an expense of taxpayers to millions of dollars because there is not one
hockey table. confused? we were, too, so we went out to gut some answers. it sounds like something out of the jetsons. a space age method of transport that could one day get you from san francisco to l.a. in 30 minutes. i met up with science writer brian inside the old school new york city subway system to get the real hyper loop scoop. what do we think it might be like? it s supposed to be nothing like the infrastructure we re used to, right? right, so he says it s going to be the fifth mode of transportation like nothing we ve seen before. he says it looks like a tube, sort of like an enclosed tube and we just blast air through that. kind of like you know those old school mail systems where they stuff the package up and it gets sucked up. we re going to be launched out of this rail gun. boom, you re off. 600 miles per hour. so, i m imagining my face. is this something i want to ride
reporter: but naming it is the easy part. but i don t know what that is. reporter: trying to explain it is something else entirely as the host of all things d found out. a concord, a rail gun, and an air hockey table. reporter: still confused? i met up with brian merchant inside the old school new york city subway system to get the real hyperloop scoop. what do we think it might be like? it s supposed to be nothing like the infrastructure we re used to, right? right. so he says it s going to be the fifth mode of transportation, like nothing we have ever seen before. hopefully something like this. what would it look like? the smart money says it will look something like a pneumatic tube, an enclosed tube, and we just blast air through that, kind of like those old school mail systems where they stuff the package up and it gets sucked up and we ll be launched out of this rail gun, boom, you re off, 600 miles per hour. i m imagines my face like is this something i wan
president trump cutting deals with russians. i think it s potentially much more serious because it if volves a hostile foreign government affecting our election and that s a more serious set of circumstances than we had with the watergate affair. what we don t know is the role exactly the president played. and at the most simplistic level, the republicans broke into the democratic national committee head quarters after watergate. in this case russia actively tried to effect who we elected as our president. and they broke if had to? email systems and they effected it national debate through facebook and they repeatedly reached out and tried to this campaign. firing people was no way for richard nixon to defend himself. are we seeing the same pattern
