Hacking Indictments News Today

Formspring. this isnt one of the cases that russians indict a russian hacker, but nothing comes of it because theyre in russia and this guy will never actually see a u.s. courtroom. this guy is russian, but at the time that the justice department indicted him, he wasnt in russia, he was in the czech republic. and police in the czech republic arrested him. and in march of this year, they extradited him to the united states. and he is now in jail in federal custody in the san francisco bay area aw...

The manners presented with those 12 allegations there. so, you know, tell me the indictments. respond to that. >> sure, and these have nothing to do with americans and rightly so and people are trying to tie him and his team to russians meddling when there is no evidence. >> yes, the investigation continues, can you admit that. >> we have something called due process and the presumption of innocence until guilty is proven. show me the proof and ill believe it. >> so and we could see it. the inve...

Vladimir putin in discussing cyber security and russian hacking of the american election. >> how is the indictments, lester, you think really changed the atmosphere surrounding this meeting. the timing of the release of these indictments being that it was friday. its very interesting, to say the least. >> well, i mean there was already plenty of evidence. we know that u.s. intelligence agencies all agree that the russians did this. now the mueller indictment comes on, which essentially reinforce...

Molly mckew and michael isikoff, thanks for joining us. in the wake of the indictments announced by rod rosenstein on friday, president trump is employing a familiar defense, blame obama. but its not the past but the future that has some people worried about election interference. a look at that, ahead. its gone. thats why you need someone behind you. not just a card. an entire support system. whether visiting the airport lounge to catch up on whats really important. or even using those hard-e...

>> so lets stick with these indictments here, david corn. national security advisor john bolton saying the new indictments of these 12 russians could actually give president trump an upper hand, interestingly enough. lets hear what he had to say. >> the president was briefed on this indictment coming. i spoke with him about it. i would say in fact it strengthens his hand. it shows that the justice system, the department of justice are aware of these russian efforts at election meddling. i think ...

Indications that russia is targeting the 2018 u.s. midterms at a scale or scope to match their activities in 2016. but let me go further. just like the activity targeting internet-connected systems in other sectors, we do consistently observe malicious cyber activity from various actors against u.s. election infrastructure. >> so she says they consistently observe sort of these malicious actions happening but not to the scale to which they happened in 2016. what do you make of this? >> look, rus...

Additional indictment here that will include americans. you know, i think it defies belief to think that we wont see an indictment that includes roger stone, who is clearly the go-between with guccifer and is referenced in this indictment. we dont know who mueller plans to indictment, but it seems very clear that this indictment last friday was not the last indictment in this special counsel investigation. >> interestingly enough, joyce, you bring up the fact that we could easily see roger stone...

Investigation, the mueller investigative team can always come back with hard facts that support them that will be remembered long after the presidents complaints are done. >> joyce, what about the fact that the americans that were listed in the indictments were not actually named? what does that tell you? >> it doesnt really tell us a lot because doj policy is not to name people who are unindicted co-conspirators. so this indictment reads exactly the way i would expect it to read, but it is very...

To date. >> david ignatius, while putin would never let on to this, i know that you released a column just moments ago saying that putin feasibly could be worried about some of these indictments. what are the issues you think this could raise for him? >> fridays indictment is really important. contrary to what john bolton says, doesnt give leverage to president trump, but it does give leverage to the united states. vladimir putin has to go to helsinki worrying what else the united states knows. ...

Not detected. b, if it is detected, theres no attribution to russia. it would be silly to use the same door they did in 2016. they may come back in 2020 but i think theyre sufficiently worried that to do so again, they may not have the same result. >> katie, the president is continuing to deflect responsibility with regards to blaming president obama and taking responsibility himself. even going so far as to victim shaming the dnc. lets take a listen to that. >> this was during the obama adminis...
