White House Leaks Private Trump Transition Communication To CBS News…

The front of the story is that President Elect Donald Trump’s transition team requested security clearances for Donald Jr., Ivanka, Jerrod and Eric Trump.

The reason for the request is simple: in order to see the executive dossier’s and backgrounds of some governmental officials -who are under consideration for Trump administration positions- you must have a security clearance.

Almost everyone on the transition team needs a security clearance in order to see details of the candidate backgrounds. It is no big deal, and has nothing to do with anything except the ability to review information, candidate experience, qualifications and provide an opinion.

However, that said – the bigger back story issue as outlined in this tweet from CBS is far more concerning. It would appear the Obama administration is leaking private discussions to CBS news:

Gee Hillary has a server that was backed up to 5 intelligence agencies, not ours, and that’s ok. Trump goes the other way and asked how does his inner circle, his children, get security clearance. Seems like he respected security.

I prefer to think he was giving cbs an opportunity. They failed to capitalize.

[SMARTY]

CORRECT- the alphabet media CANNOT be trusted to suddenly become professional and conduct themselves properly and honestly

[Starboard]

Probably a Valerie Jarret leak (with Obama’s encouragement).

[polymuser]

Yeah, our ‘news’ organizations will now suddenly switch from Democrat echo chamber to government watchdog mode.

We have to investigate, out, spotlight, criminally charge when possible, ridicule and unpower any and all Democrat/Soros/socialist propagandists in the Enemedia. Constantly. With strength and conviction.

USA TODAY via MSN.COM refuted this story today. I tweeted Ms. Goldman and CNN and asked them to retract the story.

Trump just needs to ask the maid how she got her clearance.

1) everyone now certain Obama is chatty little girl. Good luck in 2017 finding anyone to discuss sensitive matters
2) so how did Huma weiner, as an 18 year, fly in from Saudi arabia and immediately get a White house internship and top secret clearance??? Who vouched for the mooselimb spy????

[RummyChick]

I bet WH leaked it as if it were true. Trump is saying it’s not true.

[Parmy]

A little tidbit. When Wilson had stroke, I read that his wife was the effective President for 2 years. I bet she didn’t have a security clearance, either.

[To Hell With Poverty]

OMG, that is so awesome...copied and sent to several people!

[peeps36]

I hope he signs an executive order that releases all the presidential records that obama sealed his first day in office. That information would be enough to make that national embarrassment go away.

[US_MilitaryRules]

They’re requesting the clearances. They were not denied.

[4Liberty]

Trump does things like clearance authorizations the legal and proper way - and Rats issue bogus "leak" to disparage it.

can't make this stuff up.

THEY'RE DESPERATE!!

[TornadoAlley3]

Stealing.

>> I’m still simmering about Trump’s first tv interview with CBS

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.

No time for a proper TS investigation. A S should work fine and most of the work will already be in Trump’s clearance. It should be rather perfunctory to grant them all S clearances. It’s not like they grew up in Indonesia and traveled to Pakistan.
