Trump: 'Maybe' US Intel Community Passed On Claims Of Compromising Info

By MATT SHUHAM Published JANUARY 11, 2017, 11:30 AM EDT

Donald Trump on Wednesday morning wondered aloud if the U.S. intelligence community had been involved in passing on allegations that Russian operatives have "compromising" information about him on to news organizations that reported those allegations.

He told reporters that, contrary to an explosive CNN report published Tuesday, he had not seen a two-page summary of the allegations that Russian actors possessed “compromising” information about him during his briefing last week with senior intelligence officials.

“So I will tell you that not within the meeting but outside of the meeting, somebody released it. It should never have been -- number one, should never have entered paper but it should never have been released,” he said.

He called the unverified allegations contained in a dossier published by Buzzfeed News, which claimed the document was the source for the summary CNN reported on, a “disgrace.”

3. Trump you're confused! sex info wasn't included in any 'secret' packet. It was posted,

on a public message board for months. 'collected info.'

4. Or maybe his short attention span meant he wasn't listening by that time

and he didn't bother reading the documents given to him.

5. So now he says "number one" should "never have been released"?

Make up your mind, comrade! You're the payink customer!

[tenorly]

6. As they damned well should.

This is the Presidency of the United States. If the incoming occupant is a compromised toadie for an adversarial - or any - foreign power, we need to know.
