Trump Calls For Investigation Into Intel Leaks To NBC
thehill.com ^ | Jan 7, 2017

Posted on 01/07/2017 2:57:35 AM PST by Helicondelta

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.

They aren’t licensed except for the Owned and Operated stations in major markets.

GE sold NBC to Comcast in 2015.

"Trump calls for investigation into leaks to NBC"

Clapper to Trump: "Well played, Trump. I'll see you in hell."

Thanks for the update. Comcast has no substantive government contracts that I am aware of.

But they are sensitive to the market and to trends in streaming internet services.

To me, cable programming is dying and should be all but gone in five or so years. I have no programming in my home, just streaming over high-speed internet. And this is the trend.

I can see no reason why it would be popular to stream NBC news into homes. There are two many alternatives to choose from for news.

“Russia news saying a declassified report has a reference to media program not on air since obama election..so it was his election...not trump”

If this is true two things:
1. Russia admits the report is true.
2. More importantly it would mean they actually helped Obama and if that is true Trump must figure out a way beyond tweets to get it out there in a big way.

MSM has been successful in getting the notion “the Russians fixed the election” out there without having touch what was actually in the e-mails etc. I was inclined to be in the let the story die camp but I think Trump is going to have come at these bastards hard. Linda & McTraitior have to be neutered and there is more “illegitimate Preisdent” talk. Even the fool ex Pres of Mexico is out there tweeting it.

We admit we hacked Russian intelligence agents, who supposedly were celebrating that Trump won. Why is it acceptable for the US to hack Russian officials but not acceptable for Russians to hack John Podesta, who is a campaign manager not employed by the US government.

I noted that a while back as well. Plenty of hypocrisy all around depending on whose ox is being gored.

Can you give a specific source for that? It would be very damning if accurate.

"Suspend their broadcast license."

In other words, do what we accuse the other side of wanting to do? Nope, we live with free speech, and we fight falsehood with truth, not with shutting down the opposition.

It’s a psyop, a PR stunt, masquerading as an intel report.
