Sources: TRUMP ASKED DNI, NSA TO DENY EVIDENCE OF RUSSIA COLLUSION
Bullshit.
The rebelling deep-state’s playbook, detailed here, is once again on display. The Washington Post took a half truth out of context, and mixed in some innuendo and presto, fake-news that other outlets repeated and expanded upon throughout the political media. Why wouldn’t they when the source is a card-carrying member of the intelligence agencies.
Maybe Trump told the DNI and the NSA that this investigation is damaging the country and if there is nothing there, then they should expose the falsehood to the people.
Alas, the rogue intelligence agencies are on a relentless warpath to hang Trump so they intentionally misconstrued the truth and the Washington Post ate it up. There was no other side to the story. Did they ask a follow-up question? Were there any transcripts to examine? All the Post got or wanted was one measly sentence that made Trump look like a crook.
UPDATE: The above speculation offered here, is exactly what happened. Trump asked the DNI, NSA chiefs to publicly deny it IF they knew it was untrue. This is conveniently buried.
