Page 32 - Intelligence Briefing News Today

In terms of what we can expect from the president-elect today, we expect that he will have meetings here, transition-related meetings throughout the week. and hes going to have an intelligence briefing. so we anticipate any announcements that he makes will come after that intelligence briefing, chris. >> so you spend so much time in washington. tell me what you think. i know youve been talking to members of congress. how is all of this going to go over when they go back into session tomorrow? >>...

Material that he needs to know in order to the no make the kind of mistakes that would cost us in terms of american lives. >> well see what happens wednesday when he has the meeting we are reporting on as he gets his intelligence briefing. the 35 and families, those diplomats landing back in russia, showing video earlier on this monday, what does that tell you about how deep this may have gone, if indeed they were linked to, again, this hacking, these cyber attacks during the election? we have 3...

Presents a much more potent face to the world and not necessarily -- i dont think it will be a monopoly face. it will be a face like president reagan. >> the biggest criticism of obama was he takes her effort to make a decision. donald trump seems to be the polar opposite. he said i know a lot about hacking. hacking is hard to prove so it could be something else. that may be true, but 17 u.s. intelligence agencies and the fbi all agree if the russians we have the evidence of it. thats pretty har...

Administration and their transition in general has tried to put aside these calls of a closer investigation into russias efforts, perhaps that will change now that we have this new development and of course donald trump this week will meet with the heads of the intelligence agencies where he is going to have that opportunity to ask more pointed questions about just how serious this overall threat will be and whether or not that changes his mind. we will have to wait a see. of course, suzanne, he...

The next president is praising him. tweeting about the russian leaders pledge not to retaliate against the u.s. until he sees how the trump administration treats him. that public message to putin came hours after transition officials said the two had no plans to speak privately until the president received an intelligence briefing. a briefing scheduled for next week. as to the question about whether or not the sanctions levied by the obama administration will be here to stay once mr. trump takes...

Russians. they may have bit off something in the long term is a problem for them, because the insurgency there isnt going to go away. and i think theyre going to have attrition on this hands, as the regime will also. so theyve taken on a lot but its bunnished their image and ability to project their power. >> on to the russian hacking here. if there was an issue that could unite the divided parties on the hill it appears to be russian hacking. right? youve been a very strong voice on this but ar...

Twitter feed since the election, and we know very well that he weighed in very forcefully on israel, inserted himself on nuclear policy. we also know even to the level of the new air force one, and the f-35 program. he weighed in on that. why is this one different? >> i suspect its because there are two, i think, haves to this issue. on the one hand, the question did russia and all the way up to the highest levels of russian government have a role in hacking the dnc? in trying to conduct sort of...

Folks move. it will be interesting to sigh see if after he severs the intelligence briefing he can stick to line he doesnt believe the russians were involved in the hacking. everybody in washington, republicans and democrats on capitol hill are in agreement on this, and it seems they rafe "rave --" released it could of about offings in. >> president obama had vowed that his response or retaliation would be proportionate to the harm that was caused to america. yet the expulsion of diplomats or fr...

Road would be extraordinarily dangerous. and we know for a fact that putin wants to destabilize the european union and certainly nato. this has been a long-term goal of putin. why would he want to do that? so they can play whatever game they want in eastern europe, to once again dominate eastern europe as they did during the soviet period. this is a very serious situation, which i believe the next president is naive, and oh, my, were going to go do an intelligence briefing now, next week? hes be...

Special briefing with members of the intelligence community to bring him up to speed on the elements involved in the latest iteration of what president obama has done in response to russian efforts to infiltrate the u.s. democratic process through those hacks aimed at different targets during the election season. so they are not talking about it. now that of course takes on greater implications because many perceive trump as having a friendlier relationship with vladimir putin. in a statement he...
