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.
I think its pretty sad when intelligence reports get leaked out to the press. First of all, its illegal. These are classified and certified meetings and reports, Trump said during a press conference at Trump Tower his first since getting elected.
Then he revealed the details of the stealthy sting he says he conducted on the nations senior spooks.
Ill tell you what does happen. I have many meetings with intelligence. And every time I meet, people are reading about it,' Trump complained, possibly referencing reports on his classified briefings, which he has chosen not to receive daily. President-elect Donald Trump said he set a trap for his intelligence briefers and that they fell for it by leaking word of a classified briefing he had with them

Old saying. 3 people can keep a secret as long as 2 of them are dead. Trump gets it. Go Trump.
If not treason, which requires a foreign government collusion, certainly sedition and conspiracy to overthrow the United States.
50 years hard labor and no parole.
Barbecue these Asshats, Trump.
Best Election EVER!
And I hope Trump and his new attorney general Sessions prosecutes everyone of them.
Drain the swamp!
This was awesome when he told this story. Trump is going to hold these people accountable.
The most significant problem with our "news" services is that they won't cover any story which is damaging to them or Liberal policies. There needs to be a means of forcing those people who use the public airwaves to cover information they don't want to cover, because the people's "right to know" includes a right to know about them and their political allies.
Well have to wait for Breitbart tomorrow...
I really hope Trump did bait them and catch them with a trick. I've read about this tactic used by governments to catch leakers. Basically they plant different false stories with a series of individuals, and whichever false stories get leaked, thereby identifies the leaker.
If true, Bravo Mr. Trump. Bravo.

Whoever the embalmer is, did an amazing job.
As I am reading this, all I see that is being leaked is the fact that DJT received an intelligence briefing. That is not in itself, classified. Am I missing something?
{ Dramesi, who went on to serve as chief war planner for U.S. Air Forces in Europe and commander of a wing of the Strategic Air Command, was not surprised. "McCain says his life changed while he was in Vietnam, and he is now a different man," Dramesi says today. "But he's still the undisciplined, spoiled brat that he was when he went in." }
Why does that guy make me think he looks like a Dick Tracy villain?
It’s pretty awful when a president cannot trust his intelligence community
For everyone
That Brennan is one evil looking dude. So is McCain by the way. Evil just seems to exude from them. Yuk.
That’s right. Same thing when a legitimate sovereign country refuses to secure it’s lawful borders, will itself eventually become illegitimate.
Fear not. Trump will root out the political hacks or reassign them to
collect Intel in Allepo.
Brennan stamping visa of hijackers is a new story for me.
Thanx for posting
The content dossier of the brief was leaked, even though that particular content was not presented to Trump.
“Gee, I wonder if CNN or any other American news outlet is covering this.”
As far as I can tell, the Daily Mail is the ONLY media outlet reporting this tidbit from President Trump’s presser today!
