timothy langdon at the fbi. we ask you to help clarify for the american people the limited by vital role of the commission. when most americans hear intelligence, they think of the cia officer recruiting spies or nsa analyst listening to phone calls. collection on domestic terrorism must remain consistent. it's gathering publically available information or information gathered in law enforcement investigations. analysts then review it to better understand the threat and help policy makers mitigate. we ask you today, how are you distinguishing from protected speech on these online platforms from conduct and escalation to violence? how are you working with the private sector and social media companies in particular to identify and share information about these threats while protecting individual privacy rights on these platforms? grateful for your presence and i stand ready and eager to assist you in your mission as we all do. i will turn to ranking member crawford for any comments he wishes to make. >> members ha

so the fbi is directing this. >> i -- the fbi is not directing it. it is the u.s. attorney's office that, my understanding was going to direct the meetings and format the meetings and decide how the meetings would transpire and we would -- >> the memo from the attorney general is not accurate? because not followed? >> i don't know if it is an interpretation difference but -- >> just reading what it says. >> yes ma'am. that was my understanding that it would be led by the u.s. attorney's office. >> and you are aware last week the attorney general stated under oath they would provide information that led to the issuing of the memo by november 1st. are you aware of any reason why they have missed that deadline? >> i can't speak on behalf of the department. >> have you participated in the formulation or presentation of that memo? >> no. i have exchanged some e-mails. the weekend before when the initial discussion was brought up about this memo that came out. that it was very brief. >> what was the discussion? >> discussion that a letter came in from the school board as

at the fbi, mr. lankin? >> yes. >> is the membership that type of organization can inconsistent with the effect of law enforcement? >> yes. >> how is the fbi coordinating with local and state law enforcement about incoming threats and information about white supremacists and other -- i know having worked at the center there was an analyst assigned there as well as you guys build a skiff there, but there was always intel it -- with a local law enforcement issue in the fbi, because it was a sentiment that local law enforcement does the work in the fbi comes in at the last minute at the threshold. i think in many cases that's unfair. but has those coordinated efforts improved overtime? >> you know sir, i've been in law enforcement over 20 years and served for the government for 31 years. actually have not found that that often. there's definitely rivalries, there's definitely frictions that occur on an individual basis, but i found the coordination between local state officials and the fbi to be very wh

the fbi taking it seriously? >> i'm not in a position to answer that question. what i can tell you is our cyber division uses that our resources very squarely on cyber threats. >> the gentlemen's timehas expired. the gentleman n from illinois mister davis is recognized for five minutes .>> you need to unused mister davis. mister davis, we can't hear you .mr >> thank you ma'am chairman. this hearing has focused on the need for the federal government to mark marshall all of its resources to strengthen the nation's cyber defenses against ransom where attacks. led by national cyber director chris inglis and jen easily but the success of our internal ransom where policy won't be completely determined by decision-makers ingovernment buildings . it will also be determined by decisions made in company boardrooms by businesses by even on local school boards. direct director inglis you previously stated and i quote qwe need to increase awareness so that every is an, every person who experiences cyberspace has what's necess

we find out there are at least a dozen fbi informants involved in this case that had fbi agent richard trask, who started the s arrested for assaulting his wife in a drunken rage after a swingers party, he action had been fired by the fbi. and almost impossible feat. the other fbi agents handling the 12 or 13 informants that were involved in this plot, they also have been removed from the case. justice department just informed the court that they will not be testifying. so this case is falling apart, at the same time it is exposing a really egregious example of fbi entrapment of innocent men to concoct this plot, make really negative headlines for donald trump, and voting was underway in the 2020 election, and now the trial is scheduled for march but the government's case is in a lot of trouble. >> will: quickly, julie, so mane alleges entrapment, where these agents where these informants, where the instigators, where the enablers, here is the question i think the court has two decided i want to ask you: would this plot have happened, would it have occurred without the fbi's involvemen

what did the defendants say the fbi did? >> well, the defense attorneys have been building a convincing and detailed example of fbi entrapment. it's important to note when gretchen whitmer gave that press conference, that was october 8th or 9th of 2020. early voting was underway in michigan. this case brought national headlines. joe biden gave a statement and accused donald trump of inciting an act of domestic terrorists. but this case is falling apart. there are a dozen fbi informants involved. richard trask was arrested for assaulting his wife and he was fired. the others have been removed from the case. the justice department informed the court that they will not be testing. this case is falling apart and at the same time it's exposing fbi entrapment of innocent men to concoct this plot and make negative headlines for donald trump and voting was underway in the 2020 election. the trial is and would hear march but the government's case is in a lot of trouble. >> will: were these informants enablers? the question the court

the fbi is in this game. so if we're going to have a man hunt, they're dealing with the best that the united states has. >> yeah, page, the last time that we know of them being seen is what're showing on our screen right now. this was during their son's arraignment. they're clearly in a car, which as victor has pointed out could have tipped off people that they were on the move, at least. but that was wednesday. so that was wednesday. so today is friday, and the sheriff was, i mean, i really appreciate this sheriff and how forthcoming he has been with information this whole time, but page, i mean, he admitted he couldn't tell us when these folks were last seen. >> right. alisyn, i mean, i think we've talked about it and it bears repeating. you really should have surveillance in place if you're about to issue an arrest warrant for someone because they do panic, they do stupid things. they try to run away. that's exactly the wrong thing to do in this case. i mean, if these parents would step up and accept respo

so the fbi, you know they have considered all this. they have decided they have enough evidence to proceed to seek a conviction with proof beyond a reasonable doubt. that is what they're doing. elizabeth: there could go to trial, or a court right in the middle of the midterms next spring. wow, this could blow up during the midterms. let's move on to this. democrat adam schiff even though there are many discredited claims in the debunked steele dossier, that the doj-ig, multiple experts said this is totally false, he is still thinking parts of it are trust trustworthy going after trump. watch this. >> according to cnn and other major news organization as series of investigations and lawsuits have discredited, discredited many of the infamous so-called trump dossier central allegations and exposed the unreliability of that so-called dossier's sources. do you worry, congressman, that your credibility, other democrats credibility could be hurt by that and that it potentially could impact how some see this current investigation? >> no. peop

how involved in the fbi? what kinds of resources and tools are you getting from them that are helpful in this situation? >> we are handling it with the fbi and the u.s. marshal's office, any time we have a fugitive, not in just this case but all time. i have a full-time fugitive team, our teams and the fbi and the marshal's service work so seamlessly together and catch people every day. that's why i am so confident it is going to happen here. it is just frustrating that it occurred and that we are having to pour these resources into it and away from the investigation. >> did you have any indication, sheriff bouchard, that these parents might have taken off like they did? was there anything that was drawing a red flag for you, a signal that, hey, this could be a possibility? >> none whatsoever. you know, especially in light of hearing from the attorney saying that they would make arrangements to turn themselves in for an arrest or be available to be arrested. and that was even before we knew there were any cha

what a man working for the fbi posing as a hit man exposed inside the ku klux klan. >>> and later, the boy hero who helped save two people's lives in two separate incidents on the same day. alright, here we go, miller in motion. wha — wait, wait, is that a... baby on the field?? it looks like it, craig. and the defensive linemen are playing peek-a-boo. i've never seen anything like that before. harris now appears to be burping the baby. that's a great moment right there. the ref going to the rule book here. what, wait a minute! harris is off to the races! we don't need any more trick plays. touchdown!! but we could all use more ways to save. are you kidding me?? it's going to be a long bus ride home for the defense. switch to geico for more ways to save. firefighter maggie gronewald knows how to handle dry weather... ...and dry, cracked skin. new gold bond advanced healing ointment. restore healthy skin, with no sticky feeling. gold bond. champion your skin. with no sticky feeling. ow! so, you think santa will like these red and green m&m's? i don't know! i never met the guy! whaaaaa

what a man working for the fbi posing as a hit man exposed inside the ku klux klan. >>> and later, the boy hero who helped save two people's lives in two separate incidents on the same day. >>> there's new questions this morning after a time capsule that was tucked away benooeeath robert e. lee statue was finally opened. experts were surprised to find a handful of random items, including an almanac, a book and a coin. they expected to find several more interesting items because of a newspaper article back in 1887. it says that the box contained civil war memorabilia and a rare photo of abraham lincoln in his coffin. now, some are suggesting that there might be a second time capsule. >>> an fbi informant that went undercover inside the kkk is speaking about what he found. he uncovered a murder plot. here's abc's christine sloan. >> reporter: this morning, an intriguing tale of an fbi informa informant's secret double life, spying on the ku klux klan in orth florida. >> my former name is joseph moore. i was a confidential informant for the fbi's joint terrorism task force from 2007 to 20

four days later, january 24, 2017, the fbi sneaks into the white house to track general flynn. they go after him for several years. then we get the molar investigation, over three year. , 19 lawyers, 40 fbi agent, $30 million. they come back with? nothing, no conspiracy. the dayton molar testified -- the date molar testified, there was a -- as pres. trump said, a perfect phone call. adam schiff uses that phone call as the basis to start his secret impeachment in the bunker in the basement of the capitol, where hearings take place away from the people, no due process, no ability for the american people to see where this going on and they tried to remove pres. trump from office with the whistleblower. >> [indiscernible] >> the name peach jim. with the center trial that took place after he left office. think about this, they tried to get in before he got office, four years while he was in office and they are still trying to get him after he left, so much so that this past week, one of the lowest points i've seen in my time in congress, they start the process to put a good man in p

juan: you into the fbi. could you talk about their involvement in this and also you mentioned the case against wolfe. i don't know if many listeners of our program are aware of that. could you talk about that case specifically? >> sure. james wolfe used to be the director for the senate intelligence committee. he went to jail -- prison for two months after pleading guilty to charges -- here's what happened. rambo is looking into contacting these reporters. he is looking at ali watkins, a political rising star reporter. he vets her meaning he runs all of her travel -- set her travel, sees she is traveling with his older gentleman, older by more than 30 years, who he later identifies as james wolfe. rambo strikes the leak investigation. before he rages to meet -- arranges to be ali watkins under an alias and other weird things come he reaches out to an fbi contact at headquarters and says, i have something i think is in your lane, please call me immediately. rambo's working with the fbi very early on this on w

the fbi once again closing this case. what did they say to the family? >> reporter: the fbi is offering their condolences, but at this point, there's not much more they can do. the family says they are disappointed, but not surprised by the conclusion, but adding that emmett till did not die in vain. as for caroline, we reached out to her tonight. family members simply saying she's glad it's over. >> linsey davis with us tonight. thank you. >>> when we come back here, kentucky derby winner medina spirit collapsing and dies on the track. >>> and the new statement tonight from chris cuomo. (naj) at fisher investments, our clients know we have their backs. (other money manager) how do your clients know that? (naj) because as a fiduciary, it's our responsibility to always put clients first. (other money manager) so you do it because you have to? (naj) no, we do it because it's the right thing to do. we help clients enjoy a comfortable retirement. (other money manager) sounds like a big responsibility. (naj) one that we don't take lightly. it's why our fees a

what the fbi has told the family tonight and the family now responding. here's linsey davis. >> reporter: tonight, 66 years after the brutal murder of emmett till, the justice department announcing they have closed their investigation. the family and friends of till expressing their disappointment today. >> we're disappointed that no one has paid for the tragic, brutal murder of a 14-year-old boy. for whistling at a white woman. >> reporter: the department had been locking into whether carolyn bryant-donham, who claimed till grabbed and allegedly made lewd comments in a mississippi grocery store, had recanted her previous accounts and if she or others could be prosecuted. the fbi reopened the case in 2017, after historian tim tyson claimed in his book that donham, seen here in a "60 minutes" report from 2004, had taken back some of her allegations. donham told the fbi she never recanted to tyson and today, the doj concluded that they have not uncovered sufficient evidence to support federal prosecution. >> i'm not surprised but my heart is broken. >> repo

attorney and senior fbi official. frank, let me read for you a part of the former president's statement just released yesterday evening. all the democrats want to do is put people in jail. they are vicious, right now, and radical left thugs. they don't think they'll be held accountable for rigging the 2020 presidential election. the january 6th unselect committee is a coverup for what took place on november 3rd and the people for our country won't stand for it. your response, frank, on twitter was, tick-tock. expand on that for me. what did you mean? >> i don't think the former president hides his emotions very well at all. and typically, historically for him when he sends out something like this it's indicative that he's learned something he didn't know. his targeting of democratic d.a.'s and district attorneys, something is stirring, word has gotten to him that something is about to him, he doesn't like where the investigation is going, he's lashing out. it's the possibility that either the state of new york or manh

he bought his plane tickets and told the fbi he was going no matter what. you weren't going to wait any more? you were done? >> i wasn't going to wait. and it just so happened that suddenly, the paperwork went from the bottom of the stack to the top. >> reporter: harris'determination may have forced law enforcement's hand. on november 4th, 2013, two days before he landed in australia, lee was finally arrested. >> she didn't appear surprised. she was very cordial and she seemed to be very calm. so she expressed a willingness to talk to us. >> reporter: lee also asked if she could make a phone call to savanna. >> reporter: coming up -- >> i couldn't fathom what was going on. >> >> reporter: an astonishing moment of truth for savanna. >> the first thing that popped into my head, does that mean that my dad isn't my dad? >> reporter: and her father. >> i kept thinking i'll get to see her. >> when "finding savanna" continues. " what can i du with less asthma? with dupixent, i can du more....beginners' yoga. namaste... ...surprise parties. aww, you guys. dupixent

even though we had a laptop and even though the fbi was investigating. this was all meant -- misinformation according to big tech and big media. one of the things we have to do is we have to take away the liability protection thatat big tech companies have. they are immune from any liability for making these editorial decisions and censoring is just flat wrong. if we get the majority back is something we will work on passing. >> let me keep going with that. the american people want to be hopeful about some of this. you just held out some hope on that. the big tech firms most of them squarely on the left or at least their leadership the big six tech firms in this country facebook apple twitter microsoft etc.c. are worth more than all f the european firms combined. our six firms and google to make sure i'm right worth more than all european firms combined so it's one thing for you to say hey when we get the majority back up when i was up there and we were doing the huge omnibus budget bill that you a discuss their but the american people want to know if yo

i think to some extent they did a lot of damage to the credibility of the fbi. it has lingered for quite some time because of that. >> i'm going to ask you to abou the nationwide incidence of crime speaking. we have tracked new homicide records in a number of cities across the country. other crimes biking as well. san francisco mayor dealing wit quite as situation out there. here is what she is saying now about what is going on. >> it's time that the brain of criminals who are destroying ou city, it's time for it to come to an end. it comes to an end when we take the steps to be more aggressive with law enforcement. more aggressiveness with the changes in our policies. and less tolerant of all the bull [bleep] that has destroyed our safety. >> that's a lot of people wouldn't say it, but a lot of california prosecutors have sai how do we get here? >> we have gotten here by mostl a movement to not support the police, so this sort of defunding efforts or through just not having their back politically and then it's been these prosecutors who through their prosecutio

fbi demoted or fired. by the top. same five people miranda clinton investigation, randa trump-russia fake news investigation. high people who ran the to make biggest investigations in our lifetime. that guy is representative. if you break the law, our site at all think it's good enough to just move on. i think you do have to go back and clean up somehow. is there any hope that justice ever does happen from our side taking leadership? >> one, the fbi -- [inaudible] he was right. the top five people all either were fired or had to leave that run investigation and as a said they handled the big investigations of the clinton e-mail issue and, of course, the trump-russia. second, i think john durham is beginning to do just that, all people accountable. this latest indictment i always point out the indictments, for lying to the fbi. these are lies individual said to the investigative team. these are the original lies, lies there was that it was 16 and 2017 the begin the reason for the fbi to open up the whole tr

how does the fbi then go about trying to track these people down? >> so, the fbi partnered up with the u.s. marshals who do fugitive work almost full-time. they're great at it. you're really going to see the high tech environment at work here combined with the crowd sourcing of crime solving. by that i mean, they're going to appeal as they have already to the general public and put the car description out and a photo of the car. they're going to be looking at license plate readers at toll booths. there is high technology that some of which i don't even want to go into because it could cause people to destroy that ability for access to law enforcement but rest assured, i don't think these parents are equipped to actually disappear and evade the fbi and u.s. marshals. i don't think this will go on long. i'm not sure i'm buying the story the attorney is giving because he may not know the true intentions of his clients. they may or may not becoming in on their own time. at this point they have to be declared fugitives. where is the federal nexus. this i

he sent a copy to the fbi, a great republican he was, right? let's take down the republican president. and he sent a copy of a fake report to the fbi. if you did a movie, nobody would believe it. nobody. a lot of people say to me, how you survived is one of the most incredible things. i fired comey, had i not fired comey you my not be talking to about the beautiful book. i fired comey, that whole group, now that group is coming back again? i mean it is not believable. it should not be allowed to happen. should not be allowed to happen. mark: you have some beautiful photographs in the book, our journey together, at 45 books.com. with rush limbaugh. an early supporter of yours. president trump: right, i never knew him, he supported me. >> a similarity in a sense with you both. you really are individual human beings. you do what you think is right. you are free spirits. you don't play the game with social communities or media or anything else. i think rush was one of my best friends, saw that in you. and that is what attracted him to you, he said

remember his job as fbi general counsel was to keep the fbi agents on the straight an narrow. make sure they do something likely to the fisa court. he facilitated lying to get a wiretap to a political opposition figure. the whole thing is astounding. maybe he has a great personal story, tale of woe he was able to use to convince the court to keep him out of jail in the first place. this seems like a fast track, politically facilitated connection that is allowing him to get right back on the business of lawyering when he shouldn't be yet. elizabeth: you can lie, so it is okay to lie to the fisa court to get powerful wiretaps usually meant for al qaeda and isis? remember two hot fire wiretaps, not one phone call. that phone and who the person is calling that is what they're surveilling. i is okay to play the victim what you're saying, he can do whatever he wants and lie and doctor evidence? he doctored an email, making like carter page was not a government source when he was in order to get the fisa wiretaps to do massive surveillance. so it is okay for him to be reinstated? he

the fbi is right at the top of that. you know our local fbis are very cooperative. it is when they get to the national level they lose all sense of conscience and who the heck they're supposed to be representing or defending. they turn right around and defend bureaucrats, yes, ma'am. elizabeth: the question to be asked which situation biden inherited has he improved? he got the infrastructure bill through. but pew research saying this biden administration, this congress ranks among the bottom, fourth lowest, rank fourth from the bottom in terms of legislation passed. about 3 dozen pieces of legislation. 18 significant. this is the fourth worst since 1987. now you have far left congressman jeffries of new york and congressman jayapal saying the president should pass his agenda just via fiat, via executive order. he can't do that. right. so he can't just do tax hikes. that is ridiculous. go ahead. >> will he attempt to do it? thefy clearly isn't in control of his own fab cults. whoever is pulling the string, it is obama 2.0. whoever was running his show is clearly run

for years and the fbi was a great agency and just how they would go rogue and i want you to talk about that but how that group at the top of the fbi became the same group that decided they would investigate donald trump.at and then use that information dossier. >> that it goes back to what you said being in the military and there is no two-tiered objective. and those that grew up. and that's very important. and then i heard about this not even the common intent. but then to over testify before congress. again hillary clinton would be the next president. all of this is a distraction. and it began to be a process. now everybody at least needs to be honest and this group as you said became part of the group that began to investigate fisa warrants. and recently and then talk about the democratic of session with donald trump. no one wanted to believe us. so really in the year that we discussed it starts with the clinton cover-up and who was the center stage player? jim call me. in july 2016 and makesec a statement that i'm sure it made you and many others to say okay. no reasonable prosecut

and msnbc security analyst, and chuck rosenburg, senior attorney, fbi official. let me read you a part of the president's statement, all the democrats want to do is put people in jail. they are vicious, violent and radical left thugs, they don't think they'll be held accountable for rigging the 2020 presidential election, the january 6 committee is a cover-up for what happened on november third and our country won't stand for it. >> your phrase was tick tock, expand on that what you mean? >> i don't think the president hides his emotions very well at all and historically for him, when he sends out something like this it's indicative he learned something we don't know. do i have special behind-the-scenes information like that, but with the das, district attorneys, something's stirring, something is, word has gotten to him that something's happening, about to happen, he doesn't like that investigations are going. he's lashing out, expect to see more of this when they get closer and closer to the possibility that only the state of new york or the manhattan district

he was charged in september with lying to the fbi. specifically lying to then general counsel james baker during a conversation that took place just before the 2016 election. special counsel john durham claims that sussmann went to the fbi and delivered information he knew was suspect about donald trump's campaign, communicating with the putin government via a russian bank. the information turned out to be false. the indictment claims that when sussmann went to the fbi he failed to disclose that he was working on behalf of the clinton campaign. a new court filing alleges that sussmann did disclose his client although he mentioned the word cybersecurity experts in a meeting with the fbi. >> i think it's a very difficult case for the government because they have to prove what was said not easy to do difference of recollection between baker and sussmann. they have to prove that the things they say was false was knowingly false. >> as for where john durham goes interest here, there are two possible options, bret. one is that these indictm

it's been looked into by the fbi and shown to be not true. but that hasn't been enough to disabuse people who are obsessed with these lies from promulgating them and from using them to justify threatening and terrorizing election workers. and it's just a dark moment. >> betsey, let's turn to the january 6th committee and the panel's attempt to depose former doj official jeffrey clark. we know a letter clark sent to pressure georgia state officials in 2020 contained document metadata from the white house communications office. explain why this is a pretty big deal for getting the truth. >> yeah, that's something that's certainly a substantial revelation. there needs to be more investigation into what happened with that letter, who at the justice department viewed it, how they handled it. the most prominent letter that jeffrey clark talked about sending didn't actually go out. other senior doj political appointees looked at the letter and said no way are we sending this out to state legislatures. that was a consequential decision because if cla

of an fbi interrogation confession by one of the january 6th attackers. and this is the guy who is on video giving electric shocks to officer mr. fanone. electric shops that he thought would kill him. he eventually had a heart attack from what was going on in that video. we have now just pulled into the control room, getting ingested as we speak, some of that video of that fbi discussion. we are going to lead with that tonight. >> that is great, i had seen the ruling from that which had to be released today. we have been waiting for when it was going to come out. i'm really glad you got it. >> thank you rachel. well as rachel just said, judge amy ordered the release of the fbi interrogation video of defendant daniel rodriguez who was seen on video attacking officer michael fanone with a taser. and repeatedly giving officer fanone electric shocks that officer fanone believed were going to kill him. here is some of that video, of the fbi questioning of this defendant on march 31st. this was just released minutes ago. >> what do you want me to tell you? that

needs to look into that suitcase conspiracy theory, and the fbi found nothing. they found no evidence because it was a nonsense conspiracy theory. that means when bill barr said publically and privately to trump that the fbi had found no evidence of serious fraud that would affect the outcome of the election, he was talking about all the fbi's investigations, which includes this one into these two women. first this conspiracy theory is nonsense, but, second, it is incredibly vetted nonsense. it's been looked into by the fb, and shown not to be true, but that hasn't been enough to disabuse people who are obsessed with these lies from promulgated them and from using them to justify threatening and terrorizing election workers. it is just a dark moment. >> let's turn to the january 6th committee and the panel's attempt to depose former doj official jeffrey clark. we know a letter clark sent to pressure election officials in 2020 contained document meta data from the white house communication's office. explain why this is a pretty big deal for getting the truth. >>

the indictment said he went to the fbi and failed to disclose he was working on behalf of the clinton campaign. the new court filing said michael sussman did disclose his client though he mentioned cybersecurity experts in a meeting with the fbi. >> i think it is a very difficult case for the government because they have to prove what was said, which would be not an easy thing to do. a difference of recollection between baker and microsoft's men. they have to prove that the thing they say was false was knowingly. >> as where john doran goes from here, there are two possible options my shannon one indictments are for durham and speak for themselves and will have a report tied to the clinton campaign to pedal a fake story about donald trump and russia to the media and the fbi. what we do know for certain john durham's budget was recently renewed and confirmed by attorney general merrick garland. that means the durham investigation continues, shannon. >> shannon: david spunt, thank you very much. trapped in her car after a crash in the niagara river is dead tonight that is despite a resc

has lied to the fbi several times to the inspector general. merrick garland just issued a settlement gets all the attention. : : : equal treatment under the law and when you don't have that people begin to misstate. a. >> is there any hope to deliver promises like that? you say there is a failure of leadership in the upper of the echelon. people that ran the investigation and fake news investigations so he is representative i don't think it's good enough to just move on. you have to go back and clean up somehow that there's any hope it ever does happen taking leadership. >> they were fired or had to leave the investigation and as i said the clinton e-mail issue and the second point is to hold people accountable with 30 some pages so the clichÉ is true and what they were doing and it was the clinton campaign that was, politically false and just a handful of us in congress and may be ten or 12 people in the press that turned out frankly these were right. the third point is there are some key investigations that need to be done. that needs to be

it was not only just nsa, cyber command, fbi, cisa. it was broader partnerships within the federal, local, and state government. it was also partnerships with academia, being able to work with a series of very, very good subject matter experts that understood the threat. and the big thing is that there was a series of other threat actors that were operating. and so, again, having that ability to work in partnerships, having that ability to really understand the threat, and then having the ability to act, i thought, was instrumental in having successes that we had both in '18 and '20. >> i have a few questions related to this theme of partnership. one has to do with international partners. and if you could speak to what have we learned from our international partnerships, and where do you see that succeeding? >> well, certainly we learn a lot from our international partnerships. you know, whether or not it's a very small group of partners, whether or not it's a broader set of partners like nato, one of the first things that we learn is
