POTUS calls critics' bluff: Will share intel on Obama spying
[WND] WASHINGTON ‐ It didn’t take long for a buzz of electricity to crackle through the glorified shoebox that is the White House press briefing room. It was the news they’d all been waiting to hear.Network reporters jumped on boxes to do live reports breathlessly passing on the news: The New York Times had just dropped a bombshell. And then they all proceeded to miss the lead. That was likely because the Times itself had buried the lead 10 paragraphs below the headline, which read: "2 White House Officials Helped Give Nunes Intelligence Reports." However, the tenth paragraph read: "But the officials’ description of the intelligence is in line with Mr. Nunes’s own characterization of the material." In other words, the New York Times’ own sources confirmed that the way House Intelligence Committee chair Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., had described the information in key classified documents was accurate. And what Nunes had seen may prove President Trump’s claim that former President Obama spied on him and his transition team. Posted by: Besoeker 2017-03-31 |
