In reply to the discussion: Intel says Donald Trump agreed to let Russia have Ukraine in exchange for hacking election [View all]xor

I might be overlooking it, but does anyone know how Buzzfeed got this? I saw a CNN article mentioning this, but they said they were not releasing the full document. Is this something that they gave out to anyone who is considered the media (say Buzzfeed?), or did buzzfeed get a leaked copy? Is the CNN source an official source or a leak? If so, I'm curious what their source is and how trust worthy it is. I'm not sure I fully trust Buzzfeed here. Not because I think they are being deceptive on purpose, but rather that they might be a soft target that is easily duped into becoming a useful idiot to add uncertainty and doubt to the mix with regards to information in a real report. Maybe I'm being too paranoid, but this is some next level stuff we've been dealing with.

I'd love to get Trump. . . . . . Legitimately. Such junk doesn't help us, unless confirmed.
