incriminating and very informative that might not actually be in the right notes. that s always possible. the fact that donahue is a professional it took him temporary medias notes it s very helpful. it will allow him to refresh his memory. he make a good point, lauren. so there is more in the notes we aren t even talking about which is, donald trump admitted he was a keen observer and leader of the internet. you and i know now that before january 6th, there was a lot of internet chatter about plans to storm the capital on january 6th. the big question on the impeachment two point oh wasted donald trump read those plants? there was no witnesses, no way to figure it out. he is here admitting that he is very attentive to the internet, far more so than the department of justice. i don t think that gets you all
now he is simply going all out so to speak to overturn the election. it is a stunning, stunning request and there are other things that in the notes that jump out to me that i think will be very relevant to prosecutors looking at donald trump s conduct in the ofmath of the 2020 election. the first thing he says that jumped out to me is, you may not read the internet as much as i do. you will remember, chris, that there was a lot of internet chatter about storming the capitol right in the lead-up through january 6th and one of the issues in impeachment, too, was how much did donald trump know? well, here he is admitting that he read the internet and then the other thing, which is separate and apart from the coup here, is him, once again, asking them to prosecute hunter biden. this is the president of the united states asking the department of justice to prosecute his political enemy. that is banana republic stuff.

now the billionaire businessman ran a low budget campaign in 2015, but says that s about to change. we re told to watch for trump tv ads any days now. what isn t changing is trump s style, if that s the right word for it. he likes to mix it up and drive the cable and internet chatter. last week it was bill clinton. i ll have a list sent to your office. monica lewinsky or paula jones, any of them. that certainly will be fair game. last night in mississippi, his focus was hillary clinton and president obama. they ve created isis. hillary clinton created isis with obama. created with obama. so he s going to sign another executive order having to do with the second amendment. having to do with guns. i will veto that. i will un-sign that so fast. so fast. another donald trump trademark never let the facts get in the way of stoking his
. welcome back. one of the mysteries confounding investigators about the paris attacks is the total lack of communication trail. multiple u.s. officials tell cnn none of the bombers identified so far appears on any u.s. watch list. intelligence analysts combing through internet chatter, e-mail, and the likes have turned up no sign that the attackers even communicate with each other. and so, attention is focusing on the internet dark side, apps, browsers, and other devices that encrypt electronic communications and that intelligence agency can be very difficult if not impossible to break or even find. prominent internet security analyst, founder and ceo of ssp blue, leading online security consulting firm. he is joining us now from our los angeles bureau. great to have you.
