Trump Calls For Investigation Into Intel Leaks To NBC

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.

If NBC doesn’t want to cooperate...just cut them off from access to the WH press room.

“If NBC doesn’t want to cooperate..”

They are actively trying to delegitimize the election and the elected president. This is treason. All involved need to be locked up.

Wouldn’t be illegal for anyone, press or not, once in possession of this type of material to forward it to anyone?? Much less broadcast it!

Donald will have them locked up, in chains of tweets!

The whole opposition show is based on lies. Truth hems the lies in very nicely.

Well yeah I know, but who’s keeping score any more. It’s Calvinball, baby.

Though even on THAT level, we can keep the opposition singing the “sorry song” forever!

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.

Trump is playing rope a dope with the Obama political propaganda intel team: Comey, Brennan and Clapper

They are trying to get Trump to go down the bunny hole and Trump, temporarily gives them what they want, BUT wait until shortly after January 20th. Each one of these 3 idjits will soon be looking for a job.

“Senior US intelligence official with direct knowledge...” Gosh, I can’t imagine there are too many of those walking around DC.

More corruption from the industrial-media complex.

DNC-MSM collusion tried to affect the outcome of the election, they still lost and are trying to allege undue influence and corruption. Pure projection.

The U.S. intelligence community in October publicly blamed Russia for hacking Democratic groups, leading to damaging leaks of private emails. A secret CIA assessment reportedly concluded that the Kremlin acted specifically to help Trump win.

If the emails had not revealed deep corruption on the part of the DNC and its media sycophants, there would have been nothing damaging about them at all.

If the media were the watchdogs they claim to be, we would not have needed some insider (Seth Rich?) to leak DNC emails to Wikileaks--the media would have already published the stories of DNC corruption and dirty dealing.

I can't help but contrast this whole story with an incident from the 1990s, when a couple of Democrat operatives "just happened" to tune in to Newt Gingrich's cell phone frequency while Newt was conversing with someone about how to adhere to legal requirements. The media totally ignored the illegal action of intentional spying on a US person, and tried to make a big controversy about Newt's intentions to follow the law.

But now, when the leaked emails show all kinds of unethical and illegal activity, what does the media focus on? A dog and pony show about imaginary Russian hacking of the election!
