national security adviser to the president elect said he does believe the russians hacked but it doesn t mean others were hacking, as well. is that a real possibility that it wasn t solely the russians? anderson, i think it s case closed here. it s kgb code. the whole question of reuse have they used this code in the past to hack, yes, in the ukraine. and then you ve got the metadata. this is as good as it gets. this is clearly a russian hack, yes, somebody else could have stolen the code or given it away. there s too many factors in this to leave any doubt it was russian intelligence who got into the dnc and hillary s computers. there s no way hcan deny this. this administration is going to make that very clear before it s out the door. you know, mike, we heard from kellyanne conway in the last hour president-elect trump is going to getting a briefing this week in trump tower. the fact he has expressed doubts publicly will the intelligence
said he wasn t going to release new information but raise some of the questions he had. he did make the point, president-elect trump, that cyber hacks are tough to prove which is true. but in this case you have a consensus in the intelligence community blaming russia as the culprit. do we have any kind of idea of what intelligence the president-elect has, it would point to if it s not the russians? he s received briefings from his own advisors, periodic classified intelligence briefings. he s going to receive a specific briefing from leaders in the intelligence community soon. what s interesting is one of his advisors, james woolssly said on our air today contradicting trump saying he himself believes that russia is involved in the hack. so it s still unclear why exactly trump is reluctant to go on board with the u.s. intelligence community. pamela brown, thanks again. donald trump over the weekend
he will get the briefings that none of the rest of us see and he ll make a judgment. i don t think he would walk something out like that without having some knowledge of what he needed to see. so the logic seems to be because trump was elected therefore he can t do anything wrong. no, no. time and time again he s said stuff which turned out not to be true. he has shown remarkable ignorance about basic facts like not knowing the nuclear triad and didn t know what brexit was. just weeks before the vote. and he hasn t been taking a lot of intelligence briefings. so he said he knew more than generals did about isis. i think we should take with a large grain of salt any suggestion that donald trump knows more than our intelligence agencies. i don t think he says he knows more, but i think he s talking to these people. until we find out he has had the conversations and if we may not get to know what they ve said to him, other than selective leaks from various quarters. so we need to
to specific keyboards with cyrillic text with the russian alphabet and able to do this by looking at the metadata and certain documents. they believe these keyboards made up the malware code used in the russian hacks. one official said this is just one piece of evidence in the overall puz. there are many factors at play leading the u.s. intelligence community to point the finger at russia. the president-elect has a different view whether or not the russians were involved, right? reporter: that s right. he continues to cast doubt on russia s involvement as recently as this is past weekend. he says part of the reason why he is steppical is because of the failed intelligence leading up to the iraq war. he says he knows what others don t know because he receives classified intelligence briefings periodically. it s unclear though exactly why he continues to be skeptical. he said he would come out with more information. his spokesperson sean spicer sort of walked that back and
relations with putin by president obama. he wants to engage with putin in his own time and his own way. this is a way of delaying the whole thing. that s how i see it. steve, what do you make of trump continuing to question the analysis about russia behind it? i think it s going to continue to complicate his initial relationship with the intelligence community. i mean look, there s a lot of professionals, certainly i worked with them in the cia that republicans, democrats, people who are pro-cia and anty cia. this is a little different. not only has he cast aspersions on the intelligence and organizations themselves, but on the issue of russian hacking he has said i doubt what you re telling me and turned around and done a virtual high five to putin and saying good job with how you handled this whole situation. that s going to sting. and bob, the former cia director james woolsey who is a
