At todays sessions hearing. The equivalent of being made to go to the back of the bus. Major holes in tillersons sanctuary. Were we lobbying before or against . Im a germaphobe, believe me. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york, im chris hayes. There are just nine days until donald trump becomes president of the United States. Today we were inundated with news, much of it disturbing, about what to expect when he takes office. In fact there was so much news today it is, frankly, impossible for us to fully cover what we saw and heard, which may well have been the point. We are going to aggressively cover the issues we have deemed most important and they are big ones. Among them, the President Elect evoking nazi germany to characterize u. S. Intelligence agencies, offering kind words to the russians who the Intelligence Community believe hacked the dnc and clinton campaign. Trumps Secretary Of State pick exxonmobil Ceo Rex Tillerson possibly lying under oath at his Conf
Greg thanks, joe. Thats the smartest thing you have said in eight years. [applause] [applause] greg all right, the u. S. Intel report released friday directly accuse russian president Vladimir Putin of ordering a campaign to influence the election. I wish they told us this thursday we could have skipped listening to this. First we cannot say they did not change in the vote tallies or anything of that sort.

Use propaganda and the ability to reach out as terrorists are doing and try to incite, and match that up with the tremendous power that Social Media Tools allow to make that easy and simple and effective and broadly applicable. So, given that this is a strategy, and given that its aimed not just at the United States, particularly with respect to interference in our elections, but at Western Europe and eastern europe, for that matter, is there an effort underway to work with our allies through nato or otherwise . Ive been to the Cybersecurity Center in estonia, but there didnt seem to be a nato agreement that this is something we should be working on together to respond to. So is this an effort that is underway . Speaking from my lens on things, there is a lot of interest in doing that and doing it more effectively and more comprehensively, but we have not cracked the code on doing it effectively yet.

Today and something the president himself highlighted at the Press Conference. Take a listen. I think a lot of his views are going to be shaped by his advisers, the people around him, which is why its important to Pay Attention to these confirmation hearhearings. This is a job of such magnitude you cant do it by yourself. You are enormously reliant on a team. How you put a Team Together to make sure that they are getting you the best information and they are teeing up the options from which you will ultimately make decisions.
