Trump Calls For Investigation Into Intel Leaks To NBC
thehill.com ^ | Jan 7, 2017

Posted on 01/07/2017 2:57:35 AM PST by Helicondelta

President-elect Donald Trump on Friday called for lawmakers to investigate U.S. intelligence leaks to NBC about information on Russian interference in the presidential election.

“I am asking the chairs of the House and Senate committees to investigate top secret intelligence shared with NBC prior to me seeing it,” Trump tweeted Friday.

The NBC report cited “a senior U.S. intelligence official with direct knowledge” of the intel report that was delivered to President Obama on Thursday and is scheduled to be delivered to Trump on Friday.

"Highly classified intercepts illustrate Russian government planning and direction of a multifaceted campaign by Moscow to undermine the integrity of the American political system," NBC quotes the source saying.

McCain and Graham are going to be the biggest pain in the a&**()* for our new President. They are doing everything they can to undermine him. It is a personal vendetta with them.

It is personal, and though DT needs to preserve the integrity of the office and not be vindictive, he can certainly find out who has what info on both of these A-holes and respectfully suggest they retire with some dignity, lest information finds its way out. If McCain 'decides' to retire, the Arizona governor is a Republican so we could gain an assured Republican vote in senate vs. a maybe vote. Likewise with Lindsay. Lt. Gov of S. Carolina is a Republican and will appoint one to the senate seat. Neither of these guys (McCain/Graham) are any different than guys like Ted Kennedy and the old boy's network. Time to drain the swamp, even if it is your own back yard.

I think the leaking will get worse. As a matter of fact there will be fake leaks.

Rather than the usual cut out, there will be two or three making it impossible to find the source.

The democrats are terribly lost and have no other recourse than guerilla action. The congressional negresses made that very clear already on the floor of the House.

Trump should accuse the Russians of trying to help NBC and interfering with the media.

“That had some airplay on Fox but may not pick up steam,”

Which is why DJT prefers the direct route. Time to tweet that message, Mr. President.

How many illegal things have they done with impunity, they’re not afraid. They’re special and unlike us don’t have to follow rules.

We need to undermine them instead.

Yep, that needs to right into autocomplete.

When Democrats run for office, the truth is so criminal, it must be protected with a bodyguard of lies, voting-recounts, fake news, accusations, smartphone-hammering, Russia-blaming, data-wiping, paper-shredding, crocodile-crying, and racist-baiting.”

thanks
