Fox just attacked Trump and defended CNN. It was Shepard Smith but he said it was on behalf of Fox. F them.

Obviously there is a Mole. This pretty much confirms it. Time to drain the swamp.

So they had the info, didnt brief Trump about it, but briefed the MEDIA?I suspect it was just as likely to be McCain that gave the info to the media.

“Officials” no longer have any credibility what-so-ever.

"A 35-page memorandum published by BuzzFeed on Tuesday includes claims that the Russian government has been cultivating, supporting and assisting Trump for five years even obtaining compromising information in an effort to blackmail him."
So, the MSM could claim both that Trump is a knowing tool of the Russians AND that they have him by the short hairs. The MSM can play it whichever way is most opportune at the moment.
To: Red Badger
"and they believed it, anyways!.................."
Who knows what they actually believe? The point is that they chose to circulate the information regardless of its truth value, with the hope that some of the accusations would "stick" in the public's mind and harm Trump.

Glad youre having a good time. This is just going to get worse.I'll take that bet.
They don't call the President of the United States the most powerful man on Earth for nothing.

I wonder how deep the rot goes in these intelligence agencies. I know the political appointees at the top are totally corrupted DNC hacks put in by the 0bama regime. But I would like to think most of the career guys who do the real work remember Benghazi, and are looking forward to having adults in charge again.

Who gave the report to Buzzdead? That’s the question that must be answered.

“From Rick Wilson. Wonder how much Wilson payed for it?”
Nothing. Apparently, Rick Wilson was “catfished” (fed a laughably ludicrous hoax story) by a guy on 4chan as payback for some disparaging remarks that Wilson made some months earlier about that website. Wilson took the bait and then circulated it among GOPe compadres back in the fall.

Indeed. Fox News is NOT your friend.

So they had the info,Yes. It had been included in their preparation as an EXAMPLE of DISINFORMATION.
didnt brief Trump about it,
They were only going to use it if he didn't understand the difference between 'real intelligence' and 'disinformation'.
but briefed the MEDIA?
They didn't. It was that Vietnamese Commie spy, McCain, that released it (via other 'insiders') to the media.
