Excessive tape, those are things to key in on. Every bomb maker, theyre just like bakers, they have their own special signature, how they crimp the wires, the tool marks, how they tape it up and type out the address. Thank you for your expertise. Were going to stand by, jim and i here. Were just about a block away from cnn, which is still closed because theyre looking at what that white powder could be. Well go back to the studio in d. C. I do want to reset what we know right now. Any moment now the president is expected to deliver a speech where hes likely to address these devices that have been sent to Public Officials and offices today. A pipe bomb appeared to be mailed to the Time Warner Center, which is where cnn is in new york. And there is white powder still
being tested in the mail room there. We have an image of a device addressed to former cia director john brenan. However, it was found there at Time Warner Center. Also targeted, former president obama, the clintons and forme
they brought it out right in front of us and headed off and took it to the bronx. many things we re struck by when we cover this but when you re part of it, it s something different of courses as you well know. we saw an immense amount of calm, but there was urgency and immediately with what nypd was dealing with. you could tell. 100%. there s a lot of randomness. the less sophisticated the device, the more volatile they are. it s a great point. i think it s been handled well. the authorities seem unimpressed with what they re dealing with, that s a good point. and i was listening about what the president said, was it enough, was it not enough? two things. one, i was overwhelmed with how many people checked in that just wanted to make sure that we were okay. and that even if they don t like what we report all the time, they believe in us and they want us to be okay and something like
president trump making an allegation that he made over social media, without putting it in any context that, in and of itself, is outrageous, taking the attention away from serious national security issues. there are a number of congressional committees that are talking about these hearings. those hearings originally started to look at what russia did as it relates to our democratic process and what the obama administration s response was. how did the intelligence services going back to last year of 2016 before the election deal with those. right. that now has started to take on, in the recent month or so now, a different color. you have allegations that there may be certain officials in the current administration who were engaged in somehow matt miller, the color is red. there are a lot of serious concerns not proven yet but serious concerns about these investigations. i want to read to you also regarding president trump s top lawyer over the weekend. according to the time
conclusion. things are going according to that script, documenting a lot of members of congress not getting into the rebuttal tweet game. two worlds are reacting to this, right? political media world, which we re a part. and this does seem like a speak for yourself. and then there s like real america. there are people from the middle of the country that swung the election. i think it s been interesting. reality is that we re living in some sort of confirmation by asimulation, that everybody clings to the version of truth that they want to exist rather than the version of truth that is. people, if they believe the facts and it comes out that there was a deeper link with a
possibility of surveillance against trump associates. but that s pretty sweeping. is it sweeping? a lot of people could be linked to donald trump who aren t in the building. for certain and it could have been overseas collection targeted against russians overseas that swept up people. i think clapper s statement was a little broader. we can go back and look at the tape. here is the thing. i think the administration and justice department didn t focus until very late in 2016 on this issue of potential collusion. the intelligence community s assessment only came out in early january. i think this is just really being looked at now, which is why the congressional oversight committee investigations are so very important. thank you very much for all of you being here. matt, we ll see you in a moment. we are just getting started here. on the point ahead, what jeff sessions is doing now that may have some concern. selma, alabama, marks the anniversary of bloody sunday and
