Trump Calls For Investigation Into Intel Leaks To NBC

President-elect Donald Trump on Friday called for lawmakers to investigate U.S. intelligence leaks to NBC about information on Russian interference in the presidential election.

“I am asking the chairs of the House and Senate committees to investigate top secret intelligence shared with NBC prior to me seeing it,” Trump tweeted Friday.

The NBC report cited “a senior U.S. intelligence official with direct knowledge” of the intel report that was delivered to President Obama on Thursday and is scheduled to be delivered to Trump on Friday.

"Highly classified intercepts illustrate Russian government planning and direction of a multifaceted campaign by Moscow to undermine the integrity of the American political system," NBC quotes the source saying.

It would be interesting to see if Comey, Brennan, and Clapper start lawyering-up.

What a way to retire, having to glace over your shoulder and avoid walking the neighborhood after dark.

Careful.... Ever notice that Comcast transmits a “Customer Satisfaction” survey.

The geek/goons are watching every keystroke, IMHO.

Step back. Nobody wants a government to shut down media outlets. Expose them yes. Don’t give them access or the respect they believe they are due. I don’t like NBC and even I am not for heavy handed actions like shutting them down. The precedent would be impossible to reverse or control in the future. Remember how the Dems want to impose Fairness on radio and internet and TV? Their fairness is tyranny. China shut down outlets that disagree with the party. We are not them.

The dems really stepped in it this time, and President Trump will make them pay.

NBC is still owned by GE I believe.

GE is a heavy defense contractor.

Predictions:
Either GE will jettison or crackdown on NBC or GE will hurt.

I am more worried about NBC influencing our elections than the Russians.

On 21 January, NBC will have to admit to lying or undergo a very long and embarrassing public and private trial about how they got top secret material illegally from a top spook.

If they did get info from a top spook or spooks, there will be room at the the Gitmo B&B Inn for at least 8 years for the top spooks and those in NBC who released and got the top secret data.

The larger question is:

Who DIDN’T hack into the DNC and Clinton and Abedin and Weiner hard drives?

I don’t know of ANY foreign intelligence gathering organization, which upon the first indication of the DNC/Clinton/Abedin/Weiner lack of information awareness, wouldn’t have immediately targeted them to hack into their systems.

It wouldn’t surprise me if N Korea would set their Head of Intelligence in front of an AntiAircraft Gun if he didn’t hack into those resources.

So real issue which should be in the press is:
Who Didn’t Hack Into The DNC and Clinton Servers?

Here is the one that has been paasing US government secrets to NBC and hacked the DNC as well as Hillary's emails. So easy even a monkey could do it.

They are never going to charge any of these people. Why you guys keep ranting for this is just too funny. Don’t you all realize that for those people to be convicted, you have to convict them in US Federal Court. Now, find me a judge in the US Federal Court System, then the US Court of Appeals who will convict this mob. NONE! ZERO! NADDA! It ain’t never going to happen. So, give it up and save the ends of your fingers.
