Trump says he's unleashing his dogs on NBC.

2m
Donald J. Trump? @realDonaldTrump
I am asking the chairs of the House and Senate committees to investigate top secret intelligence shared with NBC prior to me seeing it.


This is what his tantrum is about:

In his latest Twitter tirade, Donald Trump called into question the sourcing of an NBC News report about an intelligence briefing on Thursday.

After the network aired a story on “NBC Nightly News” reporting that Russian officials celebrated Trump’s victory in the 2016 election, the president-elect took to social media to accuse NBC of playing into someone’s political hand.

“How did NBC get ‘an exclusive look into the top secret report he (Obama) was presented?’ Who gave them this report and why? Politics!” he asked.

It'll be interesting to see how the media reacts to this threat.

He wants to distract the committees -- and US -- from investigating HIM. DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY WITH CHANGING THE FOCUS.

I also agree with everything you said. He's trying to use this as a focus, rather than what comes out in his meeting today.

will fall for it. It's up to us to keep the focus on what comes out of the committees, via whatever means we can.

And his relationship with the news media is tanking. Once it becomes clear they can sell more papers ny fighting with him, that's what they'll do. Should be fun.

...but validates them with this nonsense.

He should know that most Americans aren't listening to him, believing him over the IC.
