THE BIG IDEA: As the nation’s top spies brief Donald Trump today on how they concluded that Russia interfered in the election, the president-elect continues to isolate himself. From the truth. From intellectually-honest members of his own party on Capitol Hill. Even from the western alliance.

There are few indications that the meeting will prompt Trump to reverse himself after two months of steadfast denials in the face of mounting evidence.

[Snip]

[Unnamed] Sources who have studied the intelligence say there is essentially incontrovertible evidence that Russia was behind the hacks, that they were authorized at the highest levels of the Kremlin and that the goal was to sow deep distrust while also undermining Hillary Clinton.

The irony is the WikiLeak emails showed the DNC *wanted* Trump as the Republican candidate because they thought he’d be easier to defeat by has ing Trump divide the RNC. So the DNC “hacked” the election

Bob Woodward needs to write a piece on the ethics involved in journalists working FOR the CIA in exchange for leaks.

The Public has a right to know.

Maybe David Ignatius could write the piece.

If all that is true Washington Post, then why can’t the public see all the evidence and their proof so they can decide for themselves?

Show us the proof, damn it!
