NBC News correspondent Cynthia McFadden reported Wednesday that President-elect Trump was never briefed on a “two-page addendum” alleging that the Russian government has damaging information on Trump.
In fact, McFadden further stated that the brief — published by BuzzFeed on Tuesday — was in fact an example of “what [U.S. intelligence officials] are calling ‘unvetted disinformation,'” designed to help Trump distinguish between “analyzed intelligence” and unverified reports.
“A senior U.S. intelligence official who was involved in the preparation for the meeting tells NBC that the president-elect was not briefed on this so-called two-page addendum of these allegations against him,” McFadden state. “It was part of the briefing materials available to the briefers, but it was not included because they believed it to be true. It was included for a different reason.”
“It was included should they feel they needed to explain to Mr. Trump the difference between analyzed intelligence and what they are calling ‘unvetted disinformation,'” she continued. “It was available for that purpose, and it never came up. Importantly, documents were never presented to Mr. Trump or his team.”

can someone explain this to us common folk?? thanks...
So they are saying the Intel briefers had a two-page sheet examples of “bullshit” (that just happen was all “bullshit” about Trump) so they could show Trump what “bullshit” intel looked like in case Trump did not know what “bullshit” intel looked like?
Yet some how this examples sheet of “bullshit” intel was given to the press any the forgot to stamp “total bullshit example” on it?
Seem to me the “example bullshit” story is also and example of bullshit
Oh, so they didn’t inform Donald Trump of this scurrilous smear they were themselves peddling to the news media, because he was too stupid to know the difference?
These people are truly desperate. They have no idea how their excuses, deflections and rationalizations are coming across out here in the hinterlands. No clue whatsoever. Keep it up, lamp posts will start looking plausible.
Jan 20th can't come soon enough.
They are Keystone Cops. They are now making me believe that they actually COULD hire someone like Chuck Barris to carry out contract hits.
The more each group from CNN to Intel to the rest of those involved try to “explain” what happened, the lies get worse.
They are deliberately muddying and mixing the story now to keep the players who perpetrated this from being named.
Exposing slush funds will lead to the correct tunnels. The White House does have that power and so do his allies in the Congress.
Didn’t show it to Obama either? Supposedly they were both shown at the same time.
This is all such BS
AKA, Fake News.
They did.............
Apparently this report has been making the rounds of DC since at least October.
But it was so unverifiable, that not even the Clinton Campaign dared to use it...the NYT, MSNBC, CBS...all the usual suspects knew it was too rotten to touch.
And its important to point out, that while CNN and Buzzfeed are trying to sell this as an “Intelligence Report”, its really just opposition research, allegedly compiled by a “former MI6 agent” with “lots of Russian contacts”. Its not official. It wasn’t compiled by any intelligence agency. IOW, its garbage.
He is so done and Mc Cain needs to resign his position on the Committee looking into Russian hacking
They will all be pointing fingers at each other like demented wind vanes..........
“The more each group from CNN to Intel to the rest of those involved try to “explain” what happened, the lies get worse.”
It is amusing to watch the clip of Jake Tapper trying to absolve CNN from any responsibility for peddling this hoax on its (remaining few) viewers.
One report says a Chris Steele of Orbis Business Intelligence is responsible for the report. Whether this is true is just another rabbit hole. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-01-11/identity-former-intelligence-officer-who-prepared-trump-dossier-has-been-revealed
Cui bono? That’s the question? I like to think a malicious attack has some meaning, some usefulness.
In this case, the game could be ‘see what we can do; no hard feelings’ but watch it. Don’t interfere with the agenda.
Or just a juvenile piece of nastiness on the way out. And certain people are on the way out.
