why into the dnc? that's where you would get, first of all, the playbook of the democrats as well as the playbook that the democrats had against the republicans. it would be the potential foreign policy adversaries of the russian government, whom they would be opposing. you can understand completely why this would be done. this is, of course, everything that we experienced all the way back into the watergate break-in at the dnc headquarters by the nixon white house, but here it is foreign adversaries who ramps it up. "the washington post" breaking the story and we've confirmed it all, brian. it just tells you going all the way back to when i would be sitting across the table from leon panetta when he was taking over the cia, he said cyber war was the next great front that we were not properly defended against. it has been very clear all the way back a decade ago that this is a major challenge from the north koreans to the russians to the chinese and to other less active actors. now, that said, the u.s.

that's what we've been doing at the dnc. i have an incredible team that has worked with me to ensure that we can be the most prepared. and i'm confident that because so donald trump is so incredibly dangerous and threatens the security of this country, that we will elect a democratic president and americans will unite against his hatred and the rhetoric that he has spewed that has been vile and vitriolic. >> has secretary clinton indicated she wants you to stay at democratic chair? >> you know, i have very much appreciated the support of the president, the vice president, secretary clinton and her team and i look forward to continuing to work as hard as we possibly can to make sure that we can elect a democrat president and that's what we're singularly focused on because there's so much at stake. >> do you believe it would be easier for you to run in your primary as dnc chair or if you took that hat off? >> you know, my constituents believe in the agenda of the democratic party, and i have been so ratified by the pride that

why would they go after them and why would they try to penetrate the dnc's computers because the dnc and republicans both gather information on the opposition. that would be donald trump, marco rubio, ted cruz, you name it they are gathering information on their political opponents. the rnc does the same thing to democrats. if you can gather that kind of information learn what those candidates' positions were on everything from trade to nuclear issues to foreign policy, cybersecurity, a whole host of issues and even whether there might be blackmail material there in rich for espionage agencies. we can tell you debbie wasserman schulz, the dnc chair woman said it is critical to our operation and campaigns we work with. we treat this like the serious incident it is and reached out to crowdstrike immediately, a cybersecurity firm and they moved as quickly as possible to kick out the intruders and secure our network. that said, it is possible the damage was done and the russian intelligence agencies gathered quite a bit of information from the dnc computers and they also last year hacked

and they were capturing and monitoring e-mail within the dnc. the second group they decided to call fancy bear. they believe the group fancy bear works for the gru, the russian military service. and that party broke in in late april and specifically targeted the dnc's opposition research files on donald trump. hmm. late april. so when donald trump was locking up the republican nomination in april, when he was winning new york and then connecticut and then delaware, maryland, pennsylvania, rhode island, when he was putting the republican presidential nomination out of reach for any of his competitors, russia's military intelligence service apparently decided at that time that they would break in to the democratic party servers and check in on what the democratic party had in its files on this guy, donald trump, who is apparently going to be the republican nominee for president. this is interesting, right? i mean, whether or not you watch "the americans," the idea of the russian government sending spies to steal that kind of stuff in in america, t

the dnc has basically said to the clinton campaign or sanders or o'malley campaign, we will spend the year building resources for you that we can hand to you when you're the nominee. in this case a dossier on donald trump, probably the dnc has more information in its files on its servers than any other organization researching donald trump for a year, not just trump but his circle, his advisers, his staffers. so a foreign intelligence organization that wants to understand who those people are, the relationships they have, potential points of leverage or influence would probably find that the dnc has more of it sitting around than anyone else. >> ifill: sashback it should be said that clinton's campaign says they were not compromised, which doesn't mean that information that they, as you point out, have on file with the dnc was not compromised, but we're not talking about financial or donor records, are we? >> from what we quarter from the report, and as dimitri says, there was a goal to go to the opposition research department. somebody like hillary clinton, who has been in public lif

>> well, you had two separate intelligence agencies in the dnc network. one came in last summer, an actor called cozy bear affiliated with the internal security agency of russia that is led by vladimir putin who wanted to look at the communications systems, and they were on the e-mail servers and watching and monitoring, and then the e-mail tracker fancy bear which is the military intelligence community, they went after the are research department of the dnc right after the opposition research on mr. trump. >> was this a fact-finding exercise? i mean, what exactly did they want this for, and how did you know that it was russian hackers and russian intelligence agencies? >> sure. one of the things that we are able to do with the technology is that we have cloud-based technology that the protects many machines across the world, and many fortune 500 companies use us, so we frequently encounter nation states and russia and china and other groups that we have seen before targeting military institution, and targeting governments and one of these actors actually

we talked to dnc officials and the outside that the dnc brought in when they recognize there was an issue. crowd strike has a rapid response operation that came in over the weekend and recognized this. there were two separate stru intrusions. also, a second intrusion that deliberately targeted opposition research related specifically to donald trump. they remove some of the files. now the democratic national committee say the intrusions have been buttoned up and no financial data or intensive candidate data was breached during the breaches but the idea two entities aligned with the russian government were inside the democratic national committee for more than a year in one case and one of the two entities that targeted the dnc was the same entity that had infiltrated the networks of the white house. the joint chiefs of staff and the state department. they have a lot of experience going after u.s. entities and u.s. government entities like this. from the beginning, the dnc is acknowledging it had occurred and we had reported the same exact thing but there's a recognition for more than a ye

white house and the joint chiefs and the state department itself and the government networks and the dnc as an entity that's required or recognized as maintaining this type of information. i will add a point that andrea made, to be clear when i worked at the fbi, we looked at the source of information that was being targeted which was one of the many, many pieces that went into us doing attribution. was this a terrorist group or an organized crime group? in this particular case, what we saw was two separate intelligence group operated bide the russian government or on behalf of the russian government. we did not see anything related to organized crimes. those are the groups that would look at personally identifiable information and social security numbers and the sorts of data that you would then use to commit some type of financial fraud. i say that in terms of donor information, that's the type of information that you expect from an organized crime group operating out of the former soviet union or eastern europe. these intelligence agencies clearly are looking for policies or strategie

former governor ed rendell is the dnc chairman, he toll "eyewitness news" there are three main reasons why this year has been harder to raise money. for one, he blames donald trump. >> because it is donald trump's candidacy, because of the things he said about latinos, muslims, number of major national companies pulled out of the republican convention, then to be fair and not to show favortism, they pulled out, and didn't fund us, as well. >> still also says he's confident the dnc will get that money $10 million total. he thinks they will get it before the convention. >> to get ready for the dnc, philadelphia city council is considering a bill that would de-criminalize disorderly conduct, instead of arresting protesters, police could give them ticket for a fine instead. city leaders hope the change would prevent criminal justice system from being overwelmed. >> well, coming up on cbs-3 "eyewitness news" the fight for felusia and the thousands of civilians trapped inside the city. >> and just barely keeping their heads above water, cattle swim for their lives, there is no end to the flo

what was your roll in stopping is. >> dnc identified some suspicious activity on their network. they called us in. cloud strike. we're a security firm. we focused on targeted attacks by nation states. by deploying our technology throughout that environment, we were relatively certain that this was a russian adversary. but after now analyzing the specific artifacts that we found, we said, this is the same group that targeted the white house, the state department, joint chiefs back last year. they are in there looking for sensitive information related to opposition candidates. this is a clear espionage campaign. >> so while it came from russia, the russian government came out and said, it wasn't us. do you have any evidence it was actually the government itself? >> we know in doing attribution, looking at thousands of attacks over many, many years, lou at the artifacts, you're able to put together pieces of the puzzle to help get some level of confidence to the attribution here. you're looking at things like the type of infrastructure that's used, the tools that are being deployed

>> either the hillary campaign or the dnc. what i can confirm you is it was not filmed at government expense. >> who wrote the script? >> i don't know who's involved in writing the script. >> both camps at the white house and the hillary campaign or the dnc, some -- >> some combination i think is best way to describe it. >> and you've always said in the past that when it comes to the president's endorsements, the it's the candidate who makes the decision about the timing. your hesitation about confirming that the president may have given a heads up to senator sanders in their meeting, i kind of want to nail that down. did the hillary clinton campaign decide when that went up or did you guys decide when that went up? >> i don't recall having said that the candidates themselves determined that. obviously, president obama made a very purposeful decision over the course of this campaign to not weigh in and to give democratic voters across the country the opportunity to determine who should represent our party in the general electi

i happen to work at the dnc in 2004. and in 2003 there was an established process with public hearings and reports and blue ribbon panels all dedicated to taking a close look at the process of choosing the democratic nominee. for president. and there are a number of things that were considered, everything from the role of superdelegates to the -- the first in the nation status both iowa and new hampshire. there's a discussion about whether or not primaries should be organized on a regional basis. so, there are a lots of ideas for ways to change the process of choosing the democratic nominee. i think we would all acknowledge that it's a rather peculiar process that both parties are engaged in. but i think what's important and what both senator sanders and secretary clinton acknowledged is that they knew what the rules were when they signed up. they knew exactly what roles superdelegates would play in this process. but, look, if the party wants to engage in another process to consider making changes, that's something that

i'm gratefully dnc is open to voices like mine and the communities i stand with. i'm here to talk about why the dnc platform committee should a doubt a carbon tax. people say putting a price on carbon is impossible, but it was nelson mandela who said it is always under -- impossible until it's done. it's time to get this done. there is too much at stake. my generation and younger americans need our next president to act, to make polluters pay for the greenhouse gases they are spewing into our air. the u.s. needs a climate policy rooted in science, economics, and social justice, and one that will last. we can meet these goals with the carbon tax revenue that goes back to american families. the scientific case is strong. every credible plant stays below 105 degrees celsius planning includes a price on greenhouse gas and mission such as the carbon tax. the economic case is strong. as a market-based solution, a carbon tax empowers businesses to transition to the clean energy economy. a carbon tax could re-energize small family businesses like the metal fabrication com

on behalf of the dnc good afternoon thank you for being here today and for accepting this incredibly important assignment thank you for all the do these are exciting times. this is our opportunity to remind american people of who we are in a we stand for and what we have to offer at the dnc we're working every day to prepare for the general election for all of the distasteful and racist things he said to take our country backwards. he is very busy but we don't take anything for granted to make sure we're not putting the spotlight to vote against him that he swindled veterans and family is out of their savings or she voted for the foreclosure crisis. the list is long and i don't how holiday view and to make sure you hear from those we are to hear from but one issue of particular is what donald trump said the past week of one that was born in indiana. if they should be disqualified from serving as the judge from gender or sexual orientation is rights are opportunities for the right to vote more than any other child has disqualified something as important as the presidency and will hold
