out and what it portends for the future. that s my view of what the intelligence committee should do. do you truly believe, though, it will be a thorough enough investigation that it will get to the bottom of it as far as the american public is concerned? we ll see. i know that we have to. if we can t this way, we will another way. look, i am certainly not going to leave this in limbo, because this is the future of america. it s the future of democracy. if we can t carry out an election without disinformation being pumped into it by another country, we ve got a huge destruction of our system going on. so we have to we have to be full and robust in this look. and i trust that we are. i have worked with chairman burr for a long time. and i believe that this can happen. if it doesn t, we will sing out loud and clear. let me button-hole something, though, you said you believe that russia s interference altered the outcome of the
priebus, plus growing concerns about donald trump s coziness with vladimir put snien do you think the russians were behind hacking into our election? is vladimir putin a war criminal? should we ignore our history with vladimir put snin. dianne feinstein joins me to explain the probe into the probe into these allegations. and with the fbi s email investigation now under investigation itself, democrats go public with their anger at director james comey. the fbi director has no credibility. joining me for insight and analysis are rich lowery of the national review, helene cooper of the new york times and jeffrey goldberg of the atlantic and danielle pletka. welcome to sunday. it s meet the press . from nbc news in washington this is meet the press with chuck todd. good sunday morning on this martin luther king jr. weekend
period of four years. and the man that s going to head that four-year period really needs to step up and recognize that he represents the whole country and he represents people of all different races and creeds who are looking for opportunity, hope and for the values that this country carries high. let me go to the investigation. you have seen the unclassified versions of this intel report. do you have any doubt in your mind that russia tried to interfere in the election and then, second, do you believe it altered the outcome? the answer is yes on both cases. you truly you believe it altered the outcome. that s what i believe. i have had all of the major classified briefings. i have been astonished at what has been a two-year effort at russia to spear-fish, to hack, to provide disinformation, propaganda, wherever it really could. i think this has been a very sophisticated effort. i think, in our classified
share danielle s sentiment here that that s exactly what russia wants, and at the same time there are people that are genuinely outraged and feel the need to speck out. i think that s true, and if you re john lewis, there is a way to go about doing this and this is in the measured way that he did with you. i think the far bigger issue because john lewis is not president-elect of the united states. donald trump is and donald trump is about to become president and as president there is a way to respond and there is a way not to respond. there is a way to say i disagree with john lewis without calling atlanta a crime-infested hole. other people disagree with john lewis without going on a twitter tantrum and that s sort of the thing that you do not expect from a commander in chief, and i think this goes back to what jeff was saying. we re now five days out from donald trump taking control of the greatest country on earth. the idea that the president of the united states is going to be
last night i read the declassified report. the declassified report is pretty certain about what russia did. there are some particulars which are classified which are not part of it. but it s pretty clear that the hacking was, in both political parties, but with the aim of hurting hillary clinton. and then, if hillary clinton were to win, the aim clearly was to weaken her. are you investigating but is there a new aspect? are you investigating the specific allegations of whether or not there was a trump any member of the trump campaign was somehow in contact with russian officials? well, that hasn t been discussed. i really can t answer that question right now. i can say that it should be full and robust with respect to who gave the order to do this, who participated in it, exactly what they did and how they carried it
