It's reported on CBS News, CNN, MSNBC, they are not sharing the "personal" stuff on it. What they are saying is Trump was briefed last week that Russia had "compromising" information on him both "personal" and "financial" but they are not going into what those "compromised personal" things may be. Buzzfeed did, but the Buzzfeed is saying the original source of the documents is a British M1-6 agent (now retired). Now CNN is saying the British M1-6 agent who leaked this has apparently been vetted by the FBI as being "credible". http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/10/politics/donald-trump-intelligence-report-russia/index.html Apparently the Buzzfeed document isn't even the only source the FBI/CIA have, they have others: Make of that what you will. |
The issue is that there is no one else verifying that what Buzzfeed is reporting is actually the personal information mentioned on websites such as CNN and MSNBC, and that is what makes me skeptical. I have a difficult time believing that numerous mainstrea media outlets would not only be privvy to information from intelligence briefings, but that if they did, only one of them would choose to publish it.
On top of that, it's, well, Buzzfeed, which has a reputation for being about as trustworthy as the National Enquirer when it comes to reporting accuracy.
