PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP CALLS FOR CRIMINAL PROBE OF NBC OVER LEAKED INTEL REPORT

PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP CALLS FOR CRIMINAL PROBE OF NBC OVER LEAKED INTEL REPORT

January 8, 2017

Today, President-Elect Trump called for a probe involving the intelligence report about the Russian hacking which was leaked to NBC News before he received the briefing. The President-Elect had previously tweeted about this on Friday “I am asking the chairs of the House and Senate committees to investigate top secret intelligence shared with NBC prior to me seeing it.”

NBC’s Chuck Todd pushed the narrative today on Meet the Press that the Russians hacked the election, BTW no election machines were ever hacked according to the intel report. Only the DNC and Hillary Clinton were hacked and according to Julian Assange it wasn’t the Russians. The real crime may have been exposing how Hillary stole the primary and the corruption of the media who allowed DNC staffers to review news stories before they were published.

The Russian Intel reports were leaked which is a federal crime. Trump needs to start a criminal probe of NBC, the Senate Intelligence Committee staffers and the Obama White House Staffers next week as soon as he in sworn in. He should impanel a grand juror. He needs to set a strong precedent that leaked intelligence will be prosecuted. This is especially important after Obama gave Hillary a pass for her mishandling of classified emails.
