Trump Trashes The FBI For Leaking After A Story Leaks
UPROXX ^ | February 24, 2017 | kimberly ricci

Posted on 02/24/2017 8:04:24 AM PST by granada

Last fall, Donald Trump did not lash out at the FBI when James Comey decided to reopen the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails mere weeks before the election. However, he’s terribly angry about a Thursday CNN report about how the FBI refused to bury Russia stories that did not present a good look for his administration (following a request from White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus). Even worse (in Trump’s eyes), the story about this refusal came from his least favorite cable news network, which Trump regularly accuses of being “fake news.” The story itself was a leak, which makes Trump even more upset, but god only knows who leaked it.

On Friday morning, Trump’s predictable angry tweet storm arrived. He called the FBI “totally unable” to stop “leakers” within the government. He says this will be “devastating” to the country, and he added “FIND NOW.”

“...how the FBI refused to bury Russia stories that did not present a good look for his administration...”

First, it was not about a leak. Second, it was a request to go public about a story the FBI itself said was false in private.

It’s basically easy to find leakers. They out themselves.

Using the ‘half-split’ method, it should not take long to find out who it is..or they..................

If he mad it because the whole story is a lie

Just saw this on Fox...
The Time feb 14 story about the FBI having evidence of trump people in contact with Russia intelligent during the campaign was totally false

The FBI contact the White House on February 14th to tell them the Time story was false ..the FBI had nothing

The White house ask if the FBI could do a press release saying that. That became the gray area and the FBI came back saying they can't put a press release out about every false story otherwise that’d be putting them out everyday.... but it was okay for the White House to say it was false per the FBI

So now the press has the created the interesting premise that the Press can make up a story saying something bad about the White House and can falsely attributed it to the FBI .....

But if the White House asks the FBI if the story is true and the FBI says no it's not true ...and the Whitehouse ask if you can say that... then per the press the White House is pressuring the FBI

Some of the communications from Trump to the FBI may have been “pulsing the system” with multiple versions containing slightly different texts, each passed down to separate individuals within the FBI to see which leaked version might have excerpts quoted by the media.
