....saw this over on Reddit and it piqued my interest,...long story short: supposedly Russia has compromising info on the incoming President and that both he and outgoing Pres. Obama were briefed on the matter....
Quote:
 
Multiple outlets are reporting that intelligence officials briefed President Obama and President Elect Trump on allegations that Russia has in their possession compromising information on the President elect.


.....selected links of interest:
(1) USA Today: Intel Chiefs Briefed Obama & Trump On Unverified, Salacious Allegations Involving Russia & PEOTUS
(2) CNN: Intel Chiefs Presented Trump With Claims Of Russian Efforts To Compromise Him
(3) The Guardian: FBI Director Given Dossier By John McCain Alleging Trump-Russia Contacts
(4) NBC News: Trump Briefing Materials Included Damaging Allegations Of Trump-Russia Ties
(5) Politico: Trump Confronts Firestorm Over Russia Allegations

....thoughts? Is there something here or is this all smoke-and-mirrors?

Why didn't Mother Jones get called out on running a sensationalist, and probably BS, story?



Why didn't Weekly World News get called out on the "Bigfoot's Love Child" story?
