The Latest on President-elect Donald Trump (all times EST):

12:15 p.m.

President-elect Donald Trump says he'll ask Congress to investigate leaks to the media on U.S. intelligence alleging Russia meddled in last year's election by hacking Democratic emails.

Less than an hour before he was to be briefed Friday by the directors of the FBI and CIA and the Director of National Intelligence on their findings, Trump tweeted that he was "asking the chairs of the House and Senate committees to investigate top secret intelligence shared with NBC prior to me seeing it."

NBC aired a report Thursday that said the briefing would identify Russian actors involved in the hacking of the Democratic National Committee....

Disrupting the presidential transition should be considered treason. Investigate and prosecute leakers, false information producers and Senators lying to the public (McCain and Graham).

I just love the way President Trump puts it out there... ‘On Guard’...

He knows what they are doing, they know they have been caught, their days are numbered...

To release ‘confidential information’ is the same as Hillary’s Server, she is getting away with it so far, so they think they will also...oh the day when they find out nobody is getting away with anything...

To be a fly on the wall in this meeting!!!

This is a 100% legitimate demand

Ihe question is “are the intelligents community finding politicized”?

The simple fact that these finding ARE being leak to the press clearly indicated a political motive else they would not be being leaked

This taints the finding... small facts are being spun and leaked by member of the intelligence community to the press for max anti Trump political effect....

The leak might have been politically motivated and finding out who the leaker is might be informative.

If was indeed political then it is as serious as the claim of the Russians breaking into Podesta’s and the DNC’s emails. Maybe worse because that means that people in the intelligence orgs are using private and secrete information for political benefit.

How did the nasty DNC treatment of Bernie benefit Russia? Did Russia convince the DNC to tank Bernie in the primaries? Is Debbie Wasserman Schultz a mole for Russia? Is Donna Brazile a Russian plant? Is THAT Russia's 'undo influence' on the 2016 elections?

What involvement did Russia have in the election of the most Marxist President the US has ever had, who offered Russia "more flexibility" in his second term, who had his incompetent Secretary of State "hit the reset button" for better relations with Russia, and has acted like a pussy regarding Russian geo-political and military misadventures?

Did Russia arrange for the National Security sieve, known as "Hillary's Home Brew Server", to intentionally leak State secrets to WikiLeaks and other hackers?

Does Clapper have hard evidence that WikiLeaks derived data (which thus far is roundly indisputable) from the DNC server or Hillary's Home Brew Server directly from Russian state actors?

Does Russia support a strengthening of US military power, as promised by the PEOTUS, which somehow benefits Russia?

How does Mr. Clapper define "fake news"? Did Hillary's declaration of "landing under sniper fire", or "a video caused the Benghazi attack", Donna Brazile's smuggling of debate questions to Hillary, or the release of Podesta's racially-charged emails, constitute Russian-driven fake news?

Can Mr. Clapper conceive of a "leak" from DNC insiders at all?

If the FBI was denied access to the DNC servers to investigate for evidence of Russian hacking, what physical evidence of the hacking is present that is so egregious that at least one addle-brained, atherosclerotic, senior Senator emphatically claim the "Russian hack" was an Act of War?

While we are investigating undue influence on elections (whether it is hacking, leaking, or propaganda) who is looking into US dollars funding the plans to influence Israeli elections, and the efforts to blunt the BREXIT elections in the UK, and threats to "put Britain in the back of the queue" for trade?

The link is to an ABC website showing a twitter-like running commentary on Trump's tweeting from the AP.

Late news twice removed....

We may recall that Bush never cleared out the Clinton Dems that were laced throughout government bureaucracy that leaked like a huge sieve. Trump is going to have none of this.

Giving it to the press is part of the psyop. Every facet of this is factless manipulation.

Good. Trump knows this was a dirty trick and he’s going to hold people accountable.

"Trump trumping the LSM hacks being hacked by the CIA hack hacking hackers."



It brings to mind this classic song:   "Hackety Hack"  (tune here)
