President-elect Donald Trump just pointed his fingers at the outgoing CIA Chief John Brenna for the intelligence leaks that suggest that Trump has been compromised by Russia and might have worked with Russia, a hostile foreign government, to advance his chances in the 2016 election.

much worse – just look at Syria (red line), Crimea, Ukraine and the build-up of Russian nukes. Not good! Was this the leaker of Fake News?

For a man whining about conspiracies and fake news, Trump is making a wild suggestion here with no proof or evidence.
So Donald Trump calls credible intelligence reports that need to be verified “Fake news”, while he makes outrageous, reckless accusations from his self pity throne.
The louder Trump howls and the more he points fingers the more it looks like there’s something he doesn’t want Americans to know about when it comes to the Russian hacking of the election.
