By all accounts this material has been around for awhile.

Therefore Trump knew it as gong to come out sooner or later.

So he dissed C.I.A., N.S.A, et al. so that when the material did come out, as it did yesterday, he could claim it's all revenge and that there's nothing to it.

(It will be interesting to see how he'll handle it at the press conference today.)
