President-elect Donald Trump, after growing suspicious that intelligence officials were leaking news about their classified briefings with him, says he conducted a sting operation to try to prove top spies were behind the leaks.
Trump revealed the extraordinary scheme to try to entrap the senior spies in a furious press conference where he suggested the intelligence community had been behind salacious and totally unproven allegations against him.
Snip
Nobody knew not even Rhoda, my executive assistant for years. She didnt know I didnt tell her. Nobody knew, Trump continued.
Having set the trap, Trump says the word leaked anyway.
The meeting was held. They left, and immediately the word got out that I had a meeting. So, I dont want that. Its very unfair to the country. Its very unfair to our country whats happening, he said.

Would you really want any of these three characters to be your father-in-law?
Truth does NOT pass through their lips, IMHO.

Brennan and Clapper were the ones I figured had put out the story. Clapper has lied so many times throughout his DC career; he has no credibility or honor.

Everyone rises to their own level of incompetence. The sooner you figure that out the less likely you are to land in prison.

I think Trump needs to have another presser TOMORROW.
Questions from everyone except CNN.
Kinda like Rush's 'Open Line Friday'. As it is they wont be done crying about this until after the inauguration. I would pick up the elephant in the room and brutally attack every question the press could come up with. Leave 'em sweaty and begging stop.

Clapper is an plant of the Muslim Brotherhood, and a traitor.
I hope he goes to Federal prison for a very, very long time.
"The term Muslim Brotherhood is an umbrella term for a variety of movements. In the case of Egypt, a very heterogeneous group, largely secular, which has eschewed violence and has decried al-Qaeda as a perversion of Islam," Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told a congressional hearing today."

What Top Secret information was not hacked by the Russians and the Chinese, was leaked by moles in the CIA, FBI and NSA. The American people got screwed, blued and tattooed by these organizations under Zer0, America’s chief traitor.
