cia has such a vast surveillance apparatus. they assumed that the nsa was really the agency that uses billions of dollars, so that it is suprising. it is not shocking the cia is trying, but it can do clever stuff to spy on people from abroad, preferably, who are doing or mean us harm, or do we not want intelligence agencies to do that? and i — i mean we have come back to this, and i have spoken to you about it before. in the end, if you are going to have intelligence agencies, you have to let them get on with the job and you can't expect them to stand by telling you what they are doing because it isn't going to work if they do that. yeah, i mean, ithink, you know, there is an absolutist way to look at things, which is very simplified. either they get full secrecy or they have none. and then there's a more sophisticated way to look at it, which we as journalists ought to be adopting, which is, yes, you need some degree of secrecy, but in a democracy, secrecy is extremely corrosive and dangerous. and for agencies that we have a

when the american people are being spied on, not by cia, not by cia, but by google and facebook. kennedy: that's one of the things i said in my monologue. >> if goopght spies it's okay. but the cia, it not oka kennedy: everyone is spying own, they are all spying on each other. >> the cia is not spying on the american people. >> yes, they are. >> give me proof the cia is spying on the american people. give me a case, give me a case where they have been spying. kennedy: i would love to access some of those cases, but because of the fisa course it's absolutely impossible because they operate in utter opacity. we can't know who is being spied on, wiretapped and under surveillance by the federal government because it operates because of section 702 of the patriot act under complete darkness. there are some things we don't have to know. but we don't know what the exact cia budget is. we are learning that they have tools beyond what edward snowden could have managed in 2013. >> the tools revealed in the wikileaks dump are pretty basic. they are common sense tools. we need these tools to

most of it is the cia. when they had this breach of the data this time there was a contract with apple, samsung, google and other affiliations that the cia was supposed to inform them so they could knock down some of the issues that were going to occur. they did not know -- they did not. the cia did not. could plant stuff and it would be no fingerprints on the data. in and putt to go something on russia, they can and nobody would know it. and obama signed in 16 more departments that can have access to all the secret and confidential data. we knew and he knew there were more leaks. really? that's why all of a sudden they started with wiretapping? i feel that was to cover that up. there is an interesting thing this from happening with the intelligence and the data we gather that i think is making us more vulnerable in terms of having additional leaks occur. right after 9/11 there was talk about the wall between foreign intelligence and domestic law enforcement. because they were communicating effectively it w

it is done from a different cia station. where are cia stations generally? in idaho? >> they are overseas. mr. houghton: they are overseas in moscow, havana, beijing, except for the cia station in miami, florida. known as jmwave or jm space wave. we are going to talk about it as the miami station. this was a cia station in a domestic store -- city, miami, florida. it is not supposed to be that way. during the majority of the 1960's, the largest cia station in the world, other than the one right here at headquarters was in miami. not moscow, beijing, berlin, in miami, florida. it existed under the cover name of -- incorporated. does anybody know miami well? good so now i can make stuff up. , it was over by what is currently the miami zoo. kind of in an area that used to be an air station in world war ii. it is in the middle of nowhere. no one would ever drive by there. when it popped up nobody gave it any second thoughts. it used to be called several different things. corporation,ices as benign and boring names as you can possibly come up with so no one would ask anyth

the head of wiki leaks said the cia created malware and sloppy security exposed the files. >> the cia was so careless to produce this material, this enormous cyber weapons arsenal and lose control of it. at least once. and then it has spread. >> reporter: he then implied that cia cyber tools may already be in the hands of criminal syndicates or hostile foreign intelligence agency. he then reinforced the claim that the cia can bypass encryption. >> doesn't matter what encryption you're running in. you can bypass the encryption, you can turn on the microphones. it can monitor movements. it can act sraeut the camera to look at photos have have been taken. >> reporter: he said nothing today when asked by reporters about the source. >> sandra: how is the administration responding? >> reporter: well, the cia just a few hours ago issued this statement to fox news that responded to the news conference. it reads in part, quote, julian assange is not exactly a pwaftian of truth and integrity. the cia continues to aggressively collect foreign intelligence overseas to protect america from terrori

and the cia documents that were declassified as part of this book indicate that the cia believes that -- they use this term, it is inescapeable. they believe that the phenomena is real and that you cannot escape the reality that phenomena does exist, albeit in a fickle manner. >> what have they seen? what have they witnessed that makes them believe that the reality in some form of that is inescapeable? >> most of the cia work falls on the axis of divination. this idea -- and this is as old as the hills, okay, that you could see the future, that you could know the unknowable. and the psychics who were working for the cia in the '70s predicted a lot of situations and also saw things, and we're talking, you know, names, places, situations that could not be known in any other manner, particularly looking into the soviet union, looking behind the iron curtain, in places where we could not have assets that were humans. and so that kind of really opened up, it kicked down the doorway to this original research. >> are there any things, for lack of better word, any data, any evidence, any vict

in 1961.he cia during the 1950's, the cia was argued a little too big for its britches. they had successful operations around the world overthrowing iran,ments in guatemala, fixing operations in italy, but they are not who we know today. iny are not capable of it 1961. they've get really good of it during vietnam and the secret war in laos. by 1961 they are not there yet. this is not the same thing as fixing an election in italy, this is a massive paramilitary operation. the idea that the cia will run this operation and take out a very popular president was laughable, at this point. let's go to the next bullet point here. they collected and analyzed intelligence about cuban forces. that is a problem when they are not collecting and analyzing cuban forces. peter can tell you that is probably plan number one, you should be doing if you are thinking about invading cuba. they did not take the time to do that. it had a lot to do with the presidential transition and a lot to do with the fact that the cia did not know anything about what was happening in cuba. insufficient span

inside the cia tonight, the hunt is on. former officials say likely cin schedules, their contacts, even bank accounts, trying to find the source of the leak. lester? >> thank you, andrea. the fall-out from this breach is far-reaching, into millions of american homes. some tech companies say they've addressed some of their vulnerabilities, but that still leaves a lot of american families asking, if the cia can do it overseas, do cyber criminals here at home have similar capabilities to spy on you through your smartphone or tv in your home. here's nbc's tom costello. >> reporter: tonight, security pros say the cia's alleged hacking blueprints should serve as a reality check for all americans. >> the only secure device would be one that's turned off, stepped-on, melted down, buried, and then maybe it's secure. >> i've got him. he's right here on the street. >> reporter: cyber security pro james line has already demonstrated how easily he could hack into my phone, watch me through the camera lens, and listen through the microph

it would be, if true, a devastating blow to the cia. >> the cia developed a giant arsenal, what appears to be the largest arsenal of trojans and viruses in the world, didn't secure it, lost control of it, and then appears to have covered up that fact. >> the cia telling nbc news today, julian assange is not exactly a bastian of truth and integrity. despite the efforts of assange, the cia continues to aggressively collect foreign intelligence overseas to protect america. dianne feinstein was a long-time member of the intelligence committee, now the top democrat on the judiciary committee and joins me now. thank you very much for being with us. first of all, your response to julian assange and the claims he made about this alleged loss to the cia. >> well, mr. assange is one of my most unfavorite people in the world. i believe he's done great discredit to this nation and committed acts which are -- which are quite das dardly. if this is true, this is a major release, it is a substantiative release, and it is going to cause problems. we don't know the degree to which it's true yet. his all

not a cia term. they claim to have a trove of hacking tools which are being used by the cia, extraordinary. two warnings, the documents appear to be in an html format, easily to edit, they could put things in and distort they could put things in and distort the meaning of some of those documents. the other, of course, is the timing is rather strange because resident trumpets under such pressure on the russian problem at the moment for people are asking about the question of the timing but let's assume it's genuine. a big community of the usa have top secret clearance, more than 800,000, a consequence of 911, the need to share intelligence consequence of 911, the need to sha re intelligence after that consequence of 911, the need to share intelligence after that but the more you share it, the more you open yourself up to the possibility that someone can do something catastrophic by way of a leak. from some of the report about these lea ks, some of the report about these leaks, it some of the report ab

and this is a devastating blow to the cia. reputati reputationally as well as operati operationally. they have built a hacking operation -- >> how does -- tara, question. the president gets up in the morning, the first thing you would do if you were president or i would do, want to know what's going on in the world. they sit in your horoom, they he a cup of coffee, they tell you what's going on in the world. the good and the bad. he's dumping on that agency that is giving him that information. >> exactly. the president's daily brief is one of the key sources of critical information from the president. during the campaign, he pushed it aside, said it wasn't that relevant and he didn't need it, he outsourced it to other individuals. now, we see criticism being launched at the cia again about their vulnerabilities as opposed to launching criticism at the russians. he has criticism for a lot of parties. we see this on twitter. >> what side is he on? the side of the russians or our government? you have to wonder. >> congress will h

it is done from a different cia station. where are the stations generally? are they in idaho? they are overseas, in moscow, havana, beijing, except for the cia station in miami, florida. known as jmwave or jm space wave. we will talk about it as a miami station. this was a cia station in a the mystic city, miami, florida. it is not supposed to be that way. during the majority of the 1960's, the largest cia station in the world, other than the one right here at headquarters was in miami. not moscow, beijing, berlin, in miami florida. it existed under the cover name of zenith technical enterprises incorporated. does anybody know miami well? so now i can make stuff up.

the organization that has been helping in an attack on the cia. president donald trump, who was elected in november, but helped by wikileaks, and declined the opportunity to criticize them, even as they released more documents stolen from the cia. that material, which was acquired in a major security breach, threatens to reveal the cia's digital hacking operation around the world, which could compromise the cia's ability to get information. but when asked to comment today, president trump smiled and said nothing. >> okay, thank you very much. >> document dump from wikileaks, any comment? >> whatever that means, wikileaks says the information was gotten from a former contractor. the kremlin's principle international prop began that outlet rt has actively glob rated with wikileaks.

then the cia knows about them. that can leak out and hackers can then get access. >> well, first of all, the shocking cia is engaged in espionage. i want to talk about cyber center real quickly. this is their job. is to go out and collect information on very targeted individuals. the cyber center was created to make sure that the agency had the capability to keep up with technology, to go after individuals that had information of value. some notion this is widespread big data collection is simply wrong. it's not accurate. and i already see that out there in the folks who don't like the intelligence services saying oh, this is a big conspiracy. doing it everywhere. what the problem was if you're worried about iphone or whatever app you may be using listed in the leak documents, yes, nation states and sophisticated counter intelligence folks are pouring over these documents. yes, that's happening, but also we're seeing this growing sophistication outside of nation states. international organized crime groups and othe

>> cohen: will the cia have to change its methods? >> undoubtedly, i mean, i think that is clear, although experts i have talked to have said that that is weirdly manageable, like you would expected a revelation like this to be such a catastrophic setback that they would send them back to square one, but the reality is that these exploits for things like the iphone are developed on a basis over and over again, every time there is a new software update that patches some security flaw there is another counter effort by spy agencies to find something new that they can get their hooks into. there was some confusion initially on these wikileaks files about whether the cia had managed to crack the encryption used in very popular applications like what's app or signal. this doesn't appear t to be the case here. it seems the agency's ability to work around those encryption progms depends on their ability to manipulate the devices themselves, not the apps that are loaded on to them. >> cohen: so it is fixable? >> i mean i do think so. it will

there's a big difference between hacking into the cia or getting access to the cia. we don't know who did the hacking and getting into john podesta's gmail account which is what they did perhaps at the behest. russians in the campaign. on the responsibility side, wikileaks isn't dumping everything that they know. they are withholding code. they're withholding certain information saying they're just going to be releasing it to certain tech companies. that's a lot different from the big document dump that initially brought them to fame where we had granular detail about wedding parties in chechnya. reading the first batch of wikileak cables for people that like foreign affairs was intoxicating. this isn't the same thing on the code part because wikileaks isn't releasing everything. >> officials tell nbc news they're still trying to figure out where they got all of this, whether it was an agency employee, whether it was a contractor, if it was, as we talked about, russian hackers or some combination of those three. can i ask you about contractors for a moment. if it wer

hearing from the cia. you don't usually hear from them on breaking news story, but we've been getting statements yesterday and today. today they said he's not really known as a bastion of integrity. that was pretty interesting. we've also heard from them saying the american public should be deeply troubled by any kind of leaks wikileaks may be putting out that could compromise u.s. intelligence in protecting the american people. while they've not quite confirmed anything, they've come out publicly to us telling us directly that they don't stand for any kind of, anything that would compromise the u.s. ability to gather information. they have also tried to make clear that they are not allowed to do electronic surveillance on u.s. soil. so you see them pushing back at some of the accusations we been hearing from these disclosures over the last couple of days. caroline: julian assange weighed in more on the webcast. he felt it was a trojan horse from the cia. have a listen. >> the cia developed a giant arsenal

this is from the cia centre for cyber intelligence. how on earth could it have been hacked, was it hacked?” doubt it. because the cia systems are probably some of the best protected in the world. if you think about the amount that has been leaked, all the software will be in files all over their own systems. so to be able to hack in and find the files, assemble the files, download the files, before the cia systems have identified a penetration, is very unlikely. my view is that this is an insider and what they have done is they have been entrusted, they have collected the information together and loaded it onto a flash drive and they could remove that whenever they wished. that is my view, if it did come from there, thatis view, if it did come from there, that is how they would have got it out. so, and inside jobjust like every snowdon? exactly. we have to trust our workers and if we then start to put in so many checks that the workers can be viewed in everything they do, then we fall foul of the human rights. we can only put in a ce
