DailyKos blogger notices spectacular revelation buried in Trump-Russia news story [View all]
From the blog post by this weekend, quoting a Washington Post report mostly overlooked by others (The blog includes a link to the 12/14/17 Post dispatch:
"The entire piece is worth a thorough reading but it contains an amazing bombshell revelation that I haven’t seen picked up anywhere except The Daily Beast of all places.
"The jaw-dropping lede is somewhat buried here:
> The officials were escorted into a spacious conference room on the 14th floor of Trump Tower. Trump took a seat at one end of a large table, with Vice President-elect Mike Pence at the other. Among the others present were Priebus, Pompeo and designated national security adviser Michael Flynn.
> Following a rehearsed plan, Clapper functioned as moderator, yielding to Brennan and others on key points in the briefing, which covered the most highly classified information U.S. spy agencies had assembled, including an extraordinary CIA stream of intelligence that had HAD CAPTURED PUTIN'S SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS ON THE OPERATION. [capitalization added for emphasis]
"... Trump was briefed on the collection of the actual instructions. Not just the 'strong belief' or the 'bulk of the evidence' or other intelligence hedging but the actual instructions. That means every time since January 6th that Trump has expressed doubt about Russian interference in the election he has been outright lying. And he knows it."
