National security intelligence community shouldnt be worried there are people out there doing things that could undermine their credibility. >> they should be worried about it. im saying it shouldnt be as difficult to catch, if you get a document claiming to be supremely high level of classification, top secret, secret, compartmentalized, we all know what those are in, if you get a document like that, you probably dont want to print or publicize without necessary verification. probably want to r...

I dont think we received the same document that rachel and buzz feed received, but certainly information has come across in my career thats difficult to corroborate on its face, very difficult to look at and know whether or not it is accurate without significant more reporting. in this case rachel show did the right thing, be skeptical of this information and tried to find experts who could help them assess whether or not it was legitimate. for reasons she laid out, there were red flags in that ...

Reporting on it. trick news organizations into reporting what appears to be evidence of what happened, and then after the fact blow that reporting up. you then hurt the credibility of that news organization, you also cast a shadow over any similar reporting in the future, whether or not its true, right? even if its true, you plant a permanent question, a permanent asterisk, permanent who knows, as to whether that, too, might be false like the other story. whether that, too, might be based on fak...

Requests, all its draft warrant requests that they issued so far in their russia investigation and in the investigation into whether the trump campaign colluded with russia. they also have demanded to see the response that the courts have given after the fbi has made these requests for warrants. now, as i said last night, what lindsey graham and chuck grassley appear to be up to with this request is not only attempting to lay bare everything the fbi is working with in their investigation, but it...

Allegations against trump and his campaign, that one that was published in buzz feed. they are saying implicitly that dossier of materials is unproven and suspect and that is what the fbis whole investigation is all based on. and therefore, its all nonsense. president trump is flamboyant and prone to outrageous seeming conduct. he likes threatening legal action against his political opponents. whether or not he eventually follows through on those threats. his republican allies, those, includin...

Basically trying to discredit the fbi for having started this investigation at all. what theyre implying is the whole fbi investigation all stemmed from that dossier of allegations against trump and his campaign. that one that was published in buzz feed in january. theyre saying, implicitly, that that dossier of material is unproven and suspect, and that thats what the fbis whole investigation is all based on. therefore, its all nonsense. president trump is flamboyant and, you know, prone to out...

In this universe nothing is accident. no message tweeted over and over is by chance. somebody has put it there for a reason. fake news emerges a couple months before the election. mid september when a group called first draft started saying this was their mission to crack down and partnering up with left leaning outlets including facebook, buzz feed, cnn, "new york times." "the washington post. steve: against democrats? >> they started calling it fake news. and, yes, their views seemed to be tha...

Doesnt happen again. according to an email from a senior executive posted this morning by buzz feed. no story related to the russia investigation and president trump can be posted on cnn.com without the approval of two top executives. it was so thin, anonymous source. even if the claim was true it was hanging by a thread and i was wondering how did it get posted? apparently -- >> bill: the new policy is everything regarding russia goes through a single source. thats what we take from that, right...

Event, ben jacobs says on twitter he was body slammed by the gop house candidate, a reporter for buzz feed who was outside the room, she join us now. you were outside of this room? what did you see or hear? >> reporter: that was the campaign meet and greet at the campaign headquarters, and there was a sort of main room where a lot of volunteers were making phone calls, and we were waiting around for a campaign event and a local tv crew was set up to do an interview. john forte went in there, the...

>> hes never been in elected office. most of his senior staff has never been in government. give them time. theyre smart people. theyll figure it out. after the comey firing and after this, the initial travel ban roll yu rollout, a lot of keystone cops. last night as this was playing out i want to read you the tweet from the buzz feed white house reporter. just put the tvs on super loud after we could hear yelling from the room with bannon, spicer, sanders. if you still have this internal fighti...
