On Thursday evening, during one of his latest Tweetstorms, Trump criticized leaks to several media outlets detailing contents of the classified Russian hacking report which Trump is set to go over any minute.
The leaks came before Trump’s own briefing on those details by the intelligence community. The 50-page report was delivered to US President Barack Obama on Thursday, and is to be delivered to President-elect Donald Trump on Friday by top intelligence officials, including Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and CIA Director John Brennan, the Washington Post reports, one of several outlets that were given priority over the president-elect in learning the details of the document. CNN and NBC News also reported on the classified report, sparking outrage from Trump.“How did NBC get ‘an exclusive look into the top secret report he (Obama) was presented?’ Who gave them this report and why? Politics!” Trump said in a tweet.
Then, moments ago, following his interview with the NYT this morning in which he suggested that the storm surrounding Russian hacking during the presidential campaign is "a political witch hunt" being carried out by his adversaries, who he said were embarrassed by their loss to him in the election last year, and just prior to the debriefing by US intelligence agencies meant to prove to Trump once and for all that Putin was indeed responsible for his election, an angry Trump doubled down and tweeted that he is "asking the chairs of the House and Senate committees to investigate top secret intelligence shared with NBC prior to me seeing it."

BIG MIKE
Locally, this reminds me of the kind of crap that Mike Dunn, Barrie Tilghman and Jim Ireton pulled constantly. Entrenched strategies by some Ds who will do ANYTHING to get what they want. Equally unacceptable at the local, regional and national levels! I hope that the president-elect is able to identified those who leaked the information and that they will be held accountable. It's not necessarily the the public doesn't have a right to know, rather that the timing was meant to undermine and was unauthorized and came from a government insider.
I hope heads roll.
He needs to wear his 'You're Fired' suits to work and find who is responsible. Fire them and burn their clearances so they never get within a light year of secure info again. Rinse and repeat!
