KELLY: ... the latest twist is The Wall Street Journal reporting this
morning that Trump's national security adviser, Mike Flynn, is under a
counter intelligence investigation because of suspected ties to Russia. The
Senate Intelligence Committee is also investigating that very question.

So here - here is the question that another CIA veteran put to me after
watching Trump's speech this weekend. This is Steve Hall. He was CIA chief
of Russia operations. And he asked, what happens when the CIA collects a
stellar piece of intelligence that maybe puts Vladimir Putin in a bad
light? Steve Hall said, what happens when the CIA briefs Trump, and he
wants to know the source? And Hall's quote directly to me was, how can you
say, no, we don't trust you with the sourcing of that information? That is
a live question today at Langley.
