them to know everything possible about this confidential source. that s also confounding, no? yes. this is an ongoing investigation. now, of course everyone should believe in transparency and oversight of law enforcement, but in a traditional investigation, you know, i ve covered the local police, they do their investigation and then they share the evidence with the parties to that investigation and with the public and with reporters and so on. traditionally you do not get this level of visibility inside an investigation as it is happening. even if you are the president? rules are not different. the rules aren t different. but then the other thing is the tremendous irony of the fact that the democrats at least came out of this meeting and said there was no evidence of a spy. remember, the release the memo campaign a few months ago. then when the memo came out, there wasn t anything in it to substantiate their claims. this may be very similar to that. to that point, shan, a sour
disinformation of its own. for example, hamilton was behind the claim that the release the memo campaign to expose fisa abuse by the fbi was just a russian plot with no support from actual americans. glen greenwald has been covering this. is he a critic of widespread hysteria on this question and he joins us tonight. glen, this is one of those many stories that fall through the cracks in a news environment like this. i m grateful why you have been on this. what is hamilton 68 and what has it done? so, i wrote about it when it was formed not even a year ago. last summer. because it was yet another example probably the most vivid one yet of this kind of union between democrats on the one hand and the neocons on the other. i guess i said reunions since neocons began as democrats and went back to democrats again. it s essentially a group started by people like bill kristol. people who have been leading
it seems to be spreading disinformation of its own. for example, hamilton 60 it was behind the claim that the release the memo campaign to expose fisa abuse by the fbi was just a russian plot with no support from actual americans. glenn greenwald has been covering this. he s a critic of widespread hysteria on this question. one of the many stories that talk to mike fall through the cracks. i m grateful that you have been on this. what what is hamilton 68 and whs it done? n i wrote about it when it was formed, not even a year ago. last summer.e it was yet another example, the most vivid one yet, if this union between democrats on the one hand and neocons on the other. i should say greens since neocons speak began as democra. it s essentially a group that was, as you said, started by people like bill kristol, people have been leading neocons from
attacking the mueller investigation and they had an amazing success with that release the memo campaign on that devin nunes memo attacking the fbi. that hash tag blew up overnight while most americans were sleeping. researchers have traced it to russian-linked accounts with the alt right. so could make the argument that devin nunes memo also blew up. it was nothing. all right, you also posted a new article about hacking but not russia, now you re talking north korea. these bots, they re equal opportunity i guess. yes, i highlighted some new research by some private security companies that are really warning about a shadowy group of north korean hackers a lot of people haven t paid attention to that focuses on espionage. this is not the group that attacked sony pictures. not the group that s been stealing money from banks. this is a more shadowy national security group of hackers. what caught my attention is that crowd strike says that these hackers can steal data from
response to information introduced into the system. and you see this actually happening throughout 2016 and 2017. i had a piece talking about the release the memo campaign where you saw exactly that happening where once this information was sort of put into a prepared information environment, people knew exactly how to react and what to do with it. and i think we really just need to pay more attention to the fact that this is information warfare, it is not advertising, facebook will keep talking about the ads from the russians, this isn t about ads, this is deliberative deceptive campaigns trying to change how americans think. does this show russian and the putin are better at this type of information scyberwarfae and even go so far to say that basically, russians should be perceived as being guilty and then proven innocent, not the
