Trump seems to confirm this morning that the information leak was genuine:

A new INTELLIGENCE LEAK from the Amazon Washington Post,this time against A.G. Jeff Sessions.These illegal leaks, like Comey's, must stop!

He's not calling it fake news. Yeah, he's throwing Sessions under the bus.

And, since the Pres is now tweeting that its fake news, how is he going to use it to fire Sessions?

Just trying to understand the thought process behind these theories.
I can explain it for you but I can't understand it for you.

Do you imagine Trump has NO supporters in the intelligence community? I mean, the word was the FBI hated Hillary.

It's funny that Trump even commented on it ~ after his comments that he would never have hired Sessions had he known he was going to recuse himself.

Did he refer to it as fake news?

Bottom line, per his INTERVIEW WITH THE FAILING NYT - he would like to get rid of Sessions.

Trump is a DC outsider with no friends in the intelligence community.

How did he get someone from the intelligence community to leak this?

Or are you saying that WAPO just prints stuff and sources it to the intelligence community when any random person calls up and tells them that's who they are?
No but apparently WAPO has been sitting on this story for a couple of months. It could be they needed confirmation and the WH gave it to them.

Since the collusion and obstruction charges has falling flat the left, including the MSM, has to have something to fill the gap. I am 100% sure if Trump used Russian dressing on his salad the left would scream impeachment....

there is an email chain with donald j. jr specifically seeking out russian documents from russian officials, that's a little more substantial than a salad topping.

He's probably the one who leaked it to give him a reason to fire Sessions. The investigation is starting to produce a lot of heat.

There was a report a week or 2 ago that said the Intel Community had asked the WaPo and NYT to not release certain articles yet for security reasons. This may have been one of those they were asked to not release yet.
