fbi director james comey outlined the fbi's strategy on data encryption, intelligence gathering, and investigations. at a dinner held in his honor by the intelligence and national security alliance. this is an hour. >> thank you for that kind introduction. i did take a shot at the new england patriots on live television which i heard about from one of my brothers who betrayed the family when he what i want to do very briefly is share with you some thoughts that are top of mind today for the fbi. and then i want to take questions that i will try to avoid answering from the great mike leiter. and i'm determined not to make news. first thing, i want to talk briefly about how the fbi is thinking about our cyber strategy. you hear me okay? how the fbi is thinking about our cyber strategy. then i want to talk about a unique challenge to all of our work in the form of u bbiquitou encryption and why it means so much to the fbi. the first cyber strategy. to state the obvious for this room, all the threats the fbi's responsible for come at us through the internet. counterintelligence, all

that are top of mind today for the fbi. then, i want to shut up and take questions that i will try to avoid answering from the great mike lighter. i am determined not to make news, for those of you who are following this. the first things that are top of mind, i want to talk very, very briefly about how the fbi is thinking about our cyberstrategy. you hear me okay. how the fbi is think being our cyberstrategy and then a unique challenge to all of our work in the form of ubiquitous strong encryption and explain why that matters so much to the fbi and why we are determined to continue to talk about it. first, our cyberstrategy. to state the obvious for this room, all the threats the fbi is responsible for come at us through the internet. counter intelligence, all the criminal threats we are responsible for and terrorists in the following way. to prosser teletize, to communicate, to inspire, to direct. not yet to use the cybervector as a way of doing actual harm, inflicting harm on infrastructure. logic tells us that is inevitable for the terrorist mind to find that vector. all the threa

with john fox. this paper will examine the role of the fbi and the formative years of the transatlantic partnership and focusing on the first decade of the cold war. that will try to give a historical perspective on recent discussions around the .sa post-9/11 activities , a paper that would look at the partnership or conversation within the context of intelligence organizations and organizational degree and look at it within the idea of intelligent studies and what it tells us about cooperation of the nsa and its partners. i and the curator of the international spy museum here in washington dc. john, and right to fbi historian. his articles have appeared everywhere. he has a lot of pieces on the fbi's website. contributed chapters in several books and you can see him on the news, and he was a key player in creating the f fbi's exhibition. john, why not you take it away from here. has now the exhibit been completely refreshed, and luckily i had nothing to do with it. it has been taken over by other materials, celeste history and more current stuff. and talking on fbi histor

is an fbi story, but the fbi is officially not commenting on it. so i will tell you at the outset we're on our own. this is a website called spamhaus which sounds like a delicious idea far downscale retro hawaiian fast food place. it's an online international clearinghouse for information and news and statistics and leads about the ways people use the internet to commit crimes and steal stuff. it's about spam and hacking and malware and viruses, all the means people use to mount online attacks. they've done their best at spamhaus to make the worst spammers in the world very famous. obviously this is the sort of crime that you can commit without anybody ever laying eyes on you, but spamhaus has done their best to create an fbi style ten most wanted list for spammers, quoting from spamhaus, do up to 80% of spam targeted at internet users around the world is generated by a hard corey group of 100 known persist tant spam gangs who's names, aliases are documented in the register of known spam operations database. and they post that explanation right along what is basically their versio

the dossier because we have not independently verified them. the fbi gave credence to certain parts of it to give authority to his secret wiretap. so what have you learned? >> reporter: well, anderson, u.s. officials tell cnn that last year the u.s. intelligence used a dossier as part of a justification to get a warrant to secretly monitor carl -- as one of the sources of information that the bureau has used to defend or to support its investigation. this includes approval from the secret court that oversees the foreign intelligence surveillance act known as fisa, to monitor page's communications. the fbi and the justice department would have had to present probable cause that he was acting as an agent of a foreign power, mobile engaging in foreign intelligence gathering for a foreign government. comey and other fbi officials would have had to sign off on this. they have since said that he had limited interactions with a campaign as a volunteer. >> so how surprising is it that this was done? >> it's quite surprising, comey's -- u.s. intelligence agencies to try to distance themselve

russian government, as i have similarly done with the cia, the fbi and other government agencies in the past, but anderson, but you as officials say intelligence say that russia tried to infiltrate by using backdoor channels -- people like carter page, but it's important to note here that within the trump campaign, carter page was viewed as someone who had little or no influence, but as we reported before, he is one of the several trump advisors whom u.s. and european intelligence services interpreted -- >> where do things stand now with the investigation. >> well, it's still ongoing, and t the fbi intelligence analysts continue to analyze computer sources and they have found suggestions of possible collusion between trump campaign associates and russian officials but we're told at this stage there's not enough evidence to show or proof that crimes were committed to our sources. and part of the problem here anderson for investigators has been that they essentially lost the opportunity to conduct this investigation in secret, after several leaks last year that revealed these people w

what mae west suggested. it seems to me that i have known so many men that the fbi ought to come to me first to compare fingerprints. now if i were a special agent, i think that it's one of those assignments i would love to have. "casablanca." world war ii film. the vichy police chief is, of course, succumbs to german pressure to close rick's cafe. >> everybody is to leave here immediately. this cafe is closed until further notice. clear the room at once. >> on what grounds? >> i'm shocked to find that gambling is going on in here. thank you very much. everyone out at once. robert: in recent weeks it seems to me that variations from this dialogue and "casablanca" have been repeated daily by politicians, pundits, and reporters. i am shocked to find cyber espionage going on here, and by the russians no less. i'm shocked to learn foreign governments use clandestine operations to affect u.s. policy. too often i think we have heard exactly that sentiment. readers of spy sites will discover that there really is no shock that foreign intelligence is spying on prominent politicians and seek

spying on the fbi. bart, let me start with that on you. i think the operating principle or the operating assumption a lot of us have had is there was a fishing expedition into the raw intelligence by the white house as a means of reverse-engineering some plausible kernel of a basis for this wildly unsupported claim by the president. it was then given to nunes. you sort of floated an alternate theory about what these individuals might have been doing inside that intelligence. what is that theory? >> well, it's really a question. i don't have a basis to say it is happening, but it fits the known facts as well as anything else. the idea is that if they are seeking information in the intelligence collection world, they have this concept called reverse-targeting. you want to actually spy on an american, so you pick some foreigners that that american might be talking to and spy on them. they might have been looking for finished reports that have to do with espionage on foreign targets whom the trump transition might have plausibly been talking to. why is it that they found -- if they

a month has been very little given. the fbi has been very difficult. we're told they want to know aboutt the unmasking, how frequent was it. who was doing it. basically one said to me, they'll havee to turn everything over. this investigation is full blown. >> bill: do we know if the fbi -- comey was dancing around it when he was asked about it. are they actively investigating the unmasking of americans caught on taps? >> there's a big question about the fbi's role in this. there's concern in the house about just generally how the fbi is handling the case. we spoke with some members of the house intelligence committee and they are frustrated with the fbi. not sure how much active role in terms of what the fbi is investigating. >> bill: do you know if the fbi is involved? are they investigating it? >> i'm told it's a web. there a are multiple agencies involved. they have to go through the fbi. you have fisa to reverse targeting. there's fbi element here. the fbi, and n.s.a. >> bill: the n.s.a. will be the agency that turn over the logs to the senate and house intelligence committee

that was gathered last year led to the broader fbi investigation. these officials made it clear that they don't know whether page or the other advisers were awared th aware that the russians have been using them. >> so what does paige think about all of this? >> he disputed the idea that he ever collected intelligence for the russians and saying that he actually helped the u.s. intelligence community. this is what he told us today. my assumption throughout the last 26 years, i have been going there. russia has always been of any russian person might share information with the russian government as i similarly done with the cia and fbi and other government agencies in the past. u.s. officials saying this, russia tried to infiltrate and influence trump campaign by using back door channels to communicate people they believed were in the trump orbit. people like carter paige, it is important to know that carter paige is viewed as someone who had little or no influence. he's one of several trump's advisers detected in contact of russi russians investigation. >> it is still going on with t

. when the fbi busted the spy ring that he was part of a couple years ago in 2015, there were three alleged spies who were named in the criminal indictment, the indictment was brought by preet bharara's office in the southern district of new york. funny how his name keeps coming up. but evgeny buryakov was one of the three people named in this ring. he's the one they caught. they arrested him january 2015 at a supermarket in river dale, new york. by the time they brought those charges, the other two guys had fled back to russia already. one of them has been employed as a trade representative for the russian federation in the united states, and the other was a attache at the united states. they both went back to moscow. they both escaped being arrested by the fbi. but this guy who got caught, this guy who's been in prison until this weekend, this guy who they actually nailed, he didn't have an official government cover job like the other two did. they were all named in the indictment. the other two had cover jobs working for the russian government. his cover job was a nonofficial cov

piece of news out of spain. now, this is an fbi story, but the fbi is officially not commenting on it. so i will tell you at the outset we're on our own. this is a website called spamhaus which sounds like a delicious idea for a downscale retro hawaiian fast food place. but spamhaus.org is basically a clearing house for news and statistics and leads, about the ways people use the internet to commit crimes and steal stuff. it's about spam and hacking and malware, all the things people use to mount on-line attacks. and they have done what they could at spamhaus, this is the sort of crime you can commit without anybody ever laying eyes on you. but spamhaus is creating a list for spammers, up to 80% of spam targeted at internet users around the world is generated by a hard-core group of about 100 known persistent spam gangs whose names and aliases are in the known operational data base. they post that explanation right along with what is basically their version of the ten most wanted list. this top ten chart of spammers is based on their view of the highest threat, least repentant, and

the director of the fbi did and didn't do shaped the contest in history. two of the reporters who broke that story for there new york times and the new head of the cnn's washington investigative team. welcome. thank you. >> thanks so much. >> and erick, welcome to cnn, by the way. that's what i meant. you have incredible report nothing to the fbi director james comey's decision making to speak out on the clinton investigation but not the trump investigation. because he shaped the election based on how differently he treated these two investigations. >> sure. i think the real discrepancy was that he played the trump investigation by the book. the fbi doesn't typically confirm investigations and when asked repeatedly on capitol hill and others to confirm the existence, he said we're going to go by the book and not do that. and at every turn, he tossed the rule books out and when it came to hillary clinton. i think that's the big disparity and one of the factors we found out is that like a lot of us the fbi and jim comey thought hillary clinton was going to win and was concerned abou

, the widow of the dictator who died in 2008, she became a cooperating witness for the fbi. one day in the spring of 2013, she put on a wire. the fbi wired her up so they could surveil and tape her conversation. and she went to the jacksonville airport. and she had a meeting at a diner at the jacksonville airport with a representative from a large mining company with interests in her home country and in that big iron ore deposit. in 2008, guinea had awarded to this company the exploration rights to half of that gigantic deposit of iron ore. it was a little bit of an unusual deal at the time because the guinean government had previously awarded all of the rights for that mine to a totally different company, but then inexplicably, a few years later they just sort of changed their mind and decided that half the rights would now go to this other country. it appeared at the time to be sort of a strange deal. but now we know why it seemed weird. because it was weird. the guinean government now says that strange deal happened, that the awarding of half the rights to that mine happened, acc

intelligence agencies has been very little given. this is the fbi is being very difficult. were told they just want to know about the unmasking, how frequent was this, who is doing it, why were they being unmasked and basically as one said to me, they're going to turn everything over or we are not going to authorize the congressionally approved 702 program which allows him to do this in the first place. this investigation is full-blown. >> bill: do we know melia if the fbi -- , he was dancing arod it when he was asked about it. are they actively admit to getting the unmasking of americans caught on taps? >> there's a big question about the fbi's rule in this, and there is concerned just about how the fbi is handling the case. we spoke with members of the house intelligence committee who said they're very frustrated with the fbi, so i'm not sure how much active role in terms of what the fbi is actually investigating. >> bill: do you know if the fbi is involved with this? are they investigating this? >> i'm told it's a web, and there are multiple agencies involved here but they have to go t

the years in russia. also in the u.s., and this is not the first time that the fbi and the u.s. officials were aware of this. the conversations po obviously have caused some concern for the fbi, so while they are concerned about it, it's part of their investigation, but they have never ever spoken to him about it. >> i understand that your sources are telling you that officials have found perhaps evidence of collusion, but not proof per se of a crime having been economiced. explaining the difference. >> you can have russian officials talking to trump people, people within the trump orbit, which doesn't necessarily mean a crime was being committed, but there is some evidence that the russian intelligence officials were trying to get inside the campaign, were trying to influence people within the paper, kind of the people around trump in his orbit, in his kind of world. we sort of talk about this trump orbit, because there are all these different people who node trump, who are attacked to trump, whether through business or his personal relationships. so there was an effort by the

the progress of the fbi's investigations. or even trying to pervert the course of those investigations in congress. today nbc news reported that before the obama administration left and the trump administration came on board, obama administration officials made a list of documents related to the russia investigation basically in order to keep them safe quoting from the nbc news report today, quote, obama administration officials were so concerned about what would happen to key classified documents once president trump took office they created a list of document serial numbers to give to senior members of the intelligence committee. after the list of documents related to the probe and russian interference was created in early january after the list of numbers was ceded, he, the former obama administration first page u hand carried that list of serial numbers to members of the senate intelligence committee. the purpose was to make it, quote, harder to bury the information. so the investigation into the russian attack on our election last year started during the obama admin

fbi or justice department they should offer general flynn such a deal. >> you know, the president is pretty transparent in his tweets. i think he wanted to get across a message that he's not afraid of what general flynn has to say and basically daring the congress to give him immunity. and then if we make a judgment that, no, we shouldn't be giving him immunity the can say we don't want a story to come out. i think a strategic move by the president and transparent one. >> on friday you travel to the white house to view these documents that chairman nunez, your republican counterpart, has discussed, and nunez says that they suggest the raising of issues, issues that he has about incidental surveillance of trump advisers and maybe the president, himself. president feels vindicated by what nunez has said about these documents but nunez says they do not show what the president claimed the wiretap of trump or trump tower. now you've seen these documents, can you understand why chairman nunez might have some issues with the surveillance that was going on? >> well, i can't go into the conte
