Destruction. This is threatening a feud between the top agencies and the President Elect white house. Were getting phew reaction from moscow. Well get to that in a moment. Lets bring in eugene scott and tom lobianco. Good morning. The strategy behind this statement. Just three sentences. Unsigned. What what is the the calculation here from the trump folks . Its a continuation of Donald Trumps message during the campaign that he believes he knows more than the Intelligence Community. Thats a hard sell to make at this point, given that we know he only is getting about once a week president Daily Briefs Gnat would give him more information about National Security globally. That statement is inaccurate. These are not the same people that were heading the departments when the Bush Administration was in place. This is new information and new revelations about what is happening abroad. Tom, i talk t about the
possibility that this would cause a feud between the Intelligence Community and the Incoming Trump white house. These are the career folks. Could there be some real life and death important consequence to this what looks to be the beginning of a feud . Sure. Well, its up to the president to decide, you know, who he wants to listen to. Among his advisers. Among the executive branch. You know, it was fascinated were talking about Russia Meddling in the former soviet union. By all accounts, putin, a former kgb agent, right, involved here. All right in our election. This is absolutely shocking. What trump decides to do with it is up to him. But by all accounts, theres been some level of impact here. As eugene pointed out this is not the same people who made the
fuel review of russias involvement or interference in the election. Even if something is found, that may be where it ends. Thank you both. Thank you. Were getting reaction from the kremlin this morning. Jill doherty. Former cnn Moscow Bureau chief joining us live. Jill, always good to see you. I understand you received a text there the kremlin Spokesman Dmitri pet kof. What did he say . What the russians have beeen saying all along, essentially. Prove it. He says theyre not new conclusions. Seems like naked blaming. No evidence to be based on. He says it looks to be an attempt to influence the President Elect with a certain negative image of our country. The Foreign Minister said the same thing. We the russians have asked for
details from The Americans that they wont provide. Again, where is the evidence . The difficulty here, as a lot of people know, is that the United States really would have grave difficulty in saying precisely how it got this information. It would reveal sources and methods and ways that the United States has of getting information about russia in a lot of different ways. And they dont want to reveal that. So the russians are very aware of that. They everyone kind of does the same thing on some level. They know that The Americans cant give this data. Completely. So thats obamas dilemma right now. Hes saying collect all the information. I want it by the time the inauguration. Before the inauguration. But, will they reveal all of it . They may not be able to reveal all of it. This could continue to roil and go along as its been going. We look at the russian response, the latest russian response from dmitry peskov, theres no conclusion, no evidence. Seems like a deflection asserting that the u. S. Administration, the Current Administration or perhaps the n int intel, current intel are attempting to taint Donald Trumps view of russia. Has anyone from russia come out and said, we did not do this . Has that verbiage been used . The government has said, we are not doing this. Right from the begin, theyre say, we didnt do this. Then the next thing is, and prove, if you have some information, give it to us. But i think, whats happening here is, and the phrase has been used, you know, this is a new threshold. And people dont really know how this could all turn out. Say the United States really
decides it wants to retaliate. And it has said, Vice President biden has said, well do something in our own time. But, what do you do . Do you take some type of action that could really send a message . You know, by taking down electric systems or something . Or do you out the people responsible . These its a very serious decision. By the president. Whoever that will be, to take some response. Serious and delicate. No doubt. You answered my next question. Jill dougherty, thank you.

Those are just some of the words used to describe the disturbing confession of Accused Gunman Dylann roof. This alleged mass gunman wasted no time admitting to slaughtering a group of worshippers. Hes confessed to the killings at the Mother Emanuel Church inSouth Carolina. You see him slowly leaving. Some of what youre about to hear from dylann roof in this initial fbi interview is absolutely disturbing. I went to that church in charleston and uh you i i did it. Did what . Whoa. I had to do it. Because somebody had to do something. Because you know, black people are killing white people every day. So youre deal, is it like to agitate race relations. To make it worse. Right. Just make things better. But in your mind, making things better, right, because you said in the begins, going back to segregation, white people are white people would need to be running the country, right . Yeah, sure. Right. I mean, like no more black president s. No more black politicians, right . No more black president , sure. We dont need a black president. Roof admitted that he drank a little just before visiting the church. He sat with his victims during bible study for about 15 minutes before that slaughter. He fired 70 rounds. A dozen people. Here are their faces. They had their eyes closed as they stood for prayers. Nine of them were killed. Roof faces 33 federal charges, including hate crimes. He could be executed if convicted. Your first reaction, to this confession that we hear. Well, its difficult. Its sad. We knew that dylann roof was disturbed. But when you hear his words. The words that come out of his mouth, it its even more troublesome. You try to identify or figure out why someone that young has the hate in his heart of george wallace. And when you hear how he identified with white nationalism. You look at some of the platforms that individuals are giving today. Some of the messages coming out of peoples mouths today, you raeltz dylann roofs not alone. Thats probably the scariest thing. I want to play another bit of sound here. He was talking about sitting with these people for about 15 minutes and what he was thinking about in that period of time. Lets listen. I was sitting there and i was
just like thinking about whether i should do it or not. Thats why i was sitting there for 15 minutes. Just like, oh, you know, because i now e couldnt have just walked out. They didnt say anything to me about the thing on my belt. I wouldnt say spur of the moment. But i just finally decide i had i had to do it. From a legal perspective, does that establish premeditation . This isnt a case about whodunit. This is one of the more difficult questions that many people in america are going to have to grasp with, including myself, which is whether or not someone believes in the Death Penalty, if, in fact, you do, this is the case that fits that. Dylanns never shied away from whether or not he did it. From the malice in his heart. From the fact that this was a hate crime. And so this is you know, even
more difficult because youre dealing with a callous individual who killed nine people. You had three survivors. And so, this is not we dont have to worry about a slagerlike verdict in this case. And im referring to the walter scott shooting. This is simply whether roof dies for his crimes or not. Hes representing himself. What does that tell you about his mind set . And how involved will Defense Attorneys be . Theyre very involved. He has some of the preeminent Death Penalty lawyers in the entire country at his side. This will be tied up for years and years and years on appeal. However, ill tell you one of the more difficult things that many of us in South Carolina are having to deal with is the simple fact that dylann roof gets to use this platform for the next week or two to talk about his views. First. And second, hes interviewing or
examining or bringing to the Witness Stand many of the same people that were in the room the night that he committed the slaughter. I think hes in for a rude awak awakening. Felicia sanders, poly sheppard, two women i know, theyre very strong. They were in the room that night. They survived. I think hell have a Rude Awakening when he attempts to cross these individuals and talk about the hate thats in his heart. Let me just say that the women in this the survivors and the families in this case, probably some of the strongest individuals that we have ever seen. And, theyre the reason that Charleston Hasnt Fallen apart and that i have strength every day when youre faced with this type of hate. Bakari sellers, thank you for your insight and reminding us
about the strength of the victims. Youre right on so many levels here. It is, at the end of the day, because hes not disputed anything, really. Its about keeping him off death row.

Mother nature has not gotten the memo that winter starts next week. Shes a week early. We start in the west. The system makes its way toward the east. We have millions under some type of winter watch or advisory from today to wednesday. The system begins to shift later today or tonight. Earlier this week, in states like michigan, ohio,
pennsylvania, we had multicar pileups. Some of which were deadly. We could go through the same stereo again today and tomorrow because this is actually a much more potent system than the one that we had a few days ago. That will likely have at least a few issues. Now, in terms of the total amounts, some of these areas could be looking at impressive snowfall accumulations. 8 to 12 inches. Great lakes, as much as 20 inches of rain. One of the other things to keep in mind of, the Football Games taking place starting tomorrow. One is the browns game. This may end up being one of the snowiest games in cleveland history. The previous record was 3. 7 inches. Were forecasting five inches for tomorrow. Ohio fans are used to it. Theyre playing the bengals. That should help a little bit. Weve been talking the cold temperatures as well. We have the big dip of air starting today. Notice the pinks and the white
region coming down into portions of the midwest. Look at the blue coming down to cities like atlanta and nashville. Retreats a little monday and tuesday. Then notice how much further south that cold air comes next week. Thats right. Were going to get a colder blast of air. Maybe doubling some of the temperatures in terms of below average by the time we get to wednesday of the upcoming week. Were feeling the blue. Yes. Its christmas. Well, georgia . Thank you, alison.
