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.”

Takes one to know one comrades... They don’t hide their bias anymore. What a great time to be alive...
That’s a convenient excuse. They needed an example of fake intelligence to teach the dumb rookie Trump the difference. The media disgust me.
I would say the intel weinies BETTER offer ALL their information to Trump in the future...Or update their resumes...
DRAIN THE SWAMP.
Yet they didn’t SHOW it to him. LOL
the takeaway: Our intelligence services are now at war with themselves. Interesting times.
Aren't those discussions supposed to be SECRET????
So how did CNN and Buzzdead get the 35 page “disinformation” report?
I have never seen an attempted character assassination hoax blow back this bad on the perpetrators in my life. This has gone off like a NUKE in their bed. CNN, the CIA and McCain are permanently maimed. This is not over for them. It has only just begun. Millions are coming to celebrate our victory inauguration. After this , I see thousand more on their way!!!!
You must remember, we have appointed and career officials. I will wager this whole mess is all wrapped around appointed and McCain/Gang of 8. Remember, even Schmuckie hinted abuut this.
Uh: Doesn’t NBC Universal own BuzzFeed?
I’ve been asking myself that same question all day!.................
The Dan Rather Bush National Guard document from 2004 looked more believable.
At least CBS sacked Rather for that. BuzzFeed will do squat, and dumb “progressives” on Twitter will keep regurgitating this obvious nonsense nonstop for years.
Schumer knew about it, sure. But he was smart enough to keep his trap shut....................
Take a look at how Trump responded to the Democrats calling him a rapist. How do you think Russian dirt will get a different result.
Or... “Our intelligence services are now at war with it’s own politicized leadership...”
