President-elect Donald Trump lashed out at new reporting on allegations about his ties to Russia in a series of tweets-Wednesday, accusing the intelligence community of leaking information to the public and asking, "are we living in Nazi Germany?"
I win an election easily, a great "movement" is verified, and crooked opponents try to belittle our victory with FAKE NEWS. A sorry state! — "Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to "leak" into the public. One last shot at me. Are we living in Nazi Germany?" he added.

Trump's tweets came in response ... CNN reported, ... classified documents presented to President Obama and Trump that included allegations that Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal-financial information about Trump, multiple US officials with direct knowledge of the briefings.
Intel chiefs presented Trump with claims of Russian-efforts to compromise him. After Russia denied having any such information -- Putin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov ..."a clear attempt to harm our bilateral relationship" and a "witch hunt" -- Trump took to social media to insist that Russia had no undue influence over him.
Trump wrote on Twitter, "Russia just said the unverified report paid for by political opponents is "A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FABRICATION, UTTER NONSENSE." Very unfair!" Russia just said the unverified report paid for by political opponents is "A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FABRICATION, UTTER NONSENSE." Very unfair! —- "Russia has never tried to use leverage over me. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA - NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING!"— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 11, 2017

That is what the whole Russia did it con is about to try and prevent a house cleaning from the incompetent bureaucrats in the intel agencies. They are hoping he won’t dare touch them now because he would be doing Russia’s bidding. I suspect they are quite wrong and the hammer is about to fall on some spooks who love themselves and their agencies more than the country.
The non-political spooks clearly chose not to engage the political hacks using their agencies or agreed to go along with this con job. Speaks volumes.
