Completely effective. >> it worked. >> michael, this is what is the most interesting part of this story. its not that the trump folks are doing this because of what rebecca said. they operate in a post scandal atmosphere. there is no such thing as a scandal for them. it is at some level fascinating to me that mcconnell is doing this. if you look at his opposition years of barack obama, he sees senate norms as no longer binding. >> well, yeah. and i dont know if thats wholly true but it does come...

They operate in a post scandal atmosphere. there is no such thing as a scandal for them. it is at some level fascinating to me that mcconnell is doing this. if you look at his opposition years of barack obama, he sees senate norms as no longer binding. >> well, yeah. and i dont know if thats wholly true but it does come off that way and its disappointing. ive known mitch for a long time and hes really about the institution at the end of the day. he respects it, he expects these -- respects these...

Government insiders like an edward snowden or hacktyiests or foreign nation states or other parties. this is part of the new world were moving into. we need to improve our election systems and processes in this country. and you know, for example, only in rofly half the states will there be audits after the election. and in addition in many states, youve got electronic voting machines that have no paper audit. the russians could have hacked some of those devices. they have the capability. i belie...

Assessment. u.s. intelligence community is charged with man tiring and assessing the actions of foreign actors but not analyzing u.s. processes and public opinion. why would he put that statement out? >> don this report, this assessment is more than assessment, frankly never seen anything stronger, more conclusive than the japanese attacked pearl harbor, just said this happened. we can trace it. left little or no doubt. and trump understands the implications of this, russians may have helped him...

Conclusions. the report also warns that moscow will apply lessons lea e learned to future influence efforts worldwide, including against u.s. allies and election processes. top officials briefed donald trump on their findings friday in new york. trump had praise for them following the meeting, but he never specifically acknowledged that russia was behind it, and he also insisted there is no evidence the alleged hacking had any impact on his victory over hillary clinton. weve got more now from cn...

Whatever, i dont know that he didnt do that. >> p.j. ask you the same question. does it concern you? >> think it is a concern but i think it also reflects the fact weve been waiting for this pivot, where the trump team appears to still be in campaign mode and theyre now at cusp of governing and havent yet made the shichlt as gloria said in the last segment, so much of their inner thought processes have become public and thats new and probably something theyll have to adapt to once theyre in cont...
