    Biden didn't confirm the story.

    Would you have preferred Trump was blindsided? What would Trump's first press conference have been without it? Could he have righteously scolded the press?

    You're still confused. CNN never reported on the veracity of the underlying information. They reported on the intelligence agency providing the information to Trump. And Biden confirmed the brief included the two page summary the Trump team denies existed.

    LOL

    CNN ran first...

    KELLYANNE CONWAY, SENIOR ADVISER TO PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP: No, our incoming press secretary, Sean Spicer, was exactly right, as was the president-elect, Anderson. CNN went first yesterday and BuzzFeed went second.

    CONWAY: I didn't say that you did but you linked to it in your story.

    Lol..

    How did CNN link to Buzzfeed if CNN reported it first.

    You are not right.. CNN is spinning the hell out of this and even Margot admitted Buzzfeed reported it first.. Nevermind your claims that Biden confirmed the allegations is patently false.

    Conway being confused about what happened has nothing to do with what actually happened. You are getting desperate... Keep posting those "lol"s

    Of course Biden confirmed CNN's report. CNN reported Trump and was provided a two page summary with a brief and Biden confirmed the 2 page summary was included with the brief. CNN was right.

    LOL

    CNN didn't mention buzzfeed when their initial article was released. How could they? Buzzfeed's article wasn't out yet. CNN added a mention to buzzfeed later on.

    The Fake News Network is so toxic now that Time Warner may just dump CNN to get the AT&T merger approved.

    Some pondered whether Time Warner would have to sell off CNN to get the deal approved.

    “If AT&T had to spin off CNN to get the deal approved, I suspect they would be willing to do so,” said analyst Craig Moffett of MoffettNathanson.

    “Based on everything AT&T has said publicly, their principal interest is in Time Warner’s entertainment properties, not their news business.”

    How funny would it be if Trumps kids bought it?

    US president-elect Donald Trump and current US president Barack Obama were informed last week by top US intelligence officials that Russians claim to have compromising personal and financial information about Trump, according to Jan. 10 reports in CNN, Buzzfeed, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal.

    The information has not been independently confirmed by US intelligence officials. Some reports suggested US intelligence consider the source of the information, a former British intelligence official, to be credible enough to distribute it to Obama and Trump, as well as the heads of Congressional intelligence committees, who reportedly received a two-page dossier last week.

    Other reports suggested the briefing was meant simply to prepare the incoming and outgoing administrations in case the unsubstantiated information were to be made public.

    Indeed, a 35-page report the dossier was based on, which has been circulating through intelligence and media circles for weeks, was published by Buzzfeed on Tuesday night (Jan. 10) with the disclaimer that it includes “unverified, and potentially unverifiable allegations of contact between Trump aides and Russian operatives, and graphic claims of sexual acts documented by the Russians.”

    Parsing words, from your link

    Two U.S. officials told NBC News that materials prepared for Trump in advance of last week's intelligence briefing included damaging allegations from the memorandum — unverified by American intelligence agencies — about his dealings with the Russians.

    Officials prepared a two-page summary of the memo for Trump's briefing Friday at Trump Tower in New York. The summary was an "annex," or addendum, included in the "supporting documents" that accompanied the classified briefing report.

    I don't think it is the job of the Secret Service to silence the press when Trump gets a stumper of a question or when he is behaving like a childish ass.

    Wasn't it Breitbart that "broke" Pizzagate, which is the very definition of fake news?

    What is Trump going to do next, revoke the Press Credentials of every organization that doesn't report the news he likes the way he likes it? This man is attacking the Free Press and that is very dangerous thing for a President to start doing.

    Yes, CNN will have to get rid of everyone involved in the fake news scandal to start the recovery process.

    That was a well thought out response?
    Are you in love with Obama and the perverted ways of liberals? Maybe that is the bigger issue here? Before there was Obamacare almost no hospital could refuse the needs of those without insurance if the situation was determined necessary. So we were not letting people die or suffer before this economic disaster Obamacare came along. And countless millions lost their insurance because of added costs burdening insurance companies due to Obamacare. So those people now had to pay a lot more (especially with obscene deductibles) by going to Obamacare. They are not happy. Nor are the countless other insured millions whose insurance rates have gone up tremendously because of this asinine program. Get a clue.

    And while you are at it, find out what life is all about before it’s over. For your sake and your family’s sake.

    And so's their collaborator, Buzzfeed. For all Ben's Smith's high-mindedness about "release it and let them decide" he certainly didn't feel this way when he helped spike the Dr. Khalid al-Mansour video.

    The the late Percy Sutton, a widely respected African American entrepreneur and politico, a Manhattan borough president for twelve years, Sutton had appeared in late March 2008 on a local New York City show called "Inside City Hall." When asked about Obama by the show’s host, Dominic Carter, the octogenarian Sutton calmly and lucidly explained that he had been “introduced to Obama by a friend.”

    The friend's name was Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, and the introduction had taken place about twenty years prior. Sutton described al-Mansour as "the principal adviser to one of the world's richest men," the billionaire, Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal.

    Al-Mansour had asked Sutton to "please write a letter in support of Obama ... a young man that has applied to Harvard." Sutton had friends at Harvard and gladly did so.

    So three months before the election it was learned that a respected black political figure had publicly announced that an outspoken anti-Semite, al-Mansour, backed by a Saudi billionaire, had been guiding Obama’s career for at least twenty years, but the story died a quick and unnatural death.

    The principle assassin was Ben Smith.

    The videotaped interview with the well-spoken patriarch of black New York politics was spiked. It has yet to see the light of day.

    Al-Mansour stated that he was never going to put Obama in the situation the Reverend Wright had.

    In September 2012 the story came up again via a 1979 piece by nationally syndicated columnist Vernon Jarrett the described billions of dollars the oil-rich Arab nations are supposed to unload on American black leaders and minority institutions. His interview subject was none other than al-Mansour. “It’s not just a rumor,” al-Mansour assured him ten years before Obama started at Harvard. “Aid will come from some of the Arab states.”

    Jarrett, of course, is the father-in-law of chief Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett. And Poppa Jarrett is also the protégé of Obama’s Communist mentor, Frank Marshal Davis.

    Some day we will get more on this story of the Sunni Billionaires,the Muslim Brotherhood, Obama, Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin.

    But right now, instead of 4 more years of Obama's pant-suited panther, We Have Trump!

    I hope so. Anything to distract from Trump's failures would be a welcome relief, including rehashing bad conspiracy theories.

    Well, I don't expect an Obama-sized failure from Trump. Obama is a stoner, raised by communists, we are under severe economic stress and Obama wasn't up to the task. He began evading, golfing extensively, blamed others and really pretended to be a bystander in his own administration. Yes, he inherited a tough situation, but he asked for the job, and for 4 year renewal and then spent most of his terms in avoidant behavior.

    Our problems are not going to fix themselves. Trump will stand strong, he will bite down on his mouth piece and he will work harder for the American People than you have ever seen a Presidential team work. You aren't going to believe it. And its going to be difficult. Getting the Fed off Zero Bound is going to hurt like hell. There is going to be great economic dislocation as mis-allocated capital becomes clear. Do you know what percentage of global government issued securities are currently yielding negative interest rates?

    These CNN/Buzzfeed Collaborators that you are defending, have you forgotten that Smith was a member of the Journolist conspiracy that did open propaganda work by publishing a piece picking up on an anonymous, unsubstantiated accusation published in GQ that in college GOP Senate nominee Rand Paul tied up a teammate to force her to take bong hits?

    It's not.

    I do think that his reaction to it, his subsequent untruths regarding it, his attacking of intelligence agencies over it, and his odd fascination with Hillary Clinton and accusing her of crimes in the course of this minor nonsense does demonstrate his inability to be president.

    He had already given CNN a question, and the reporter was being a jackass, exemplifying the fact that they are not credible. Questioning whether or not this was leaked by intelligence is by no means an unreasonable thing to do, since after all "they have 6 ways from Sunday to get back at you" and "whenever a president has gone up against the CIA it has gone badly for them". Maybe if there werent so many (*)(*)(*)(*)ing leaks coming from them designed to hurt him, he would be acting unreasonably... But there are. Its a serious (*)(*)(*)(*)ing problem.
