It started with this:
And the intelligence community responded with this:The "Intelligence" briefing on so-called "Russian hacking" was delayed until Friday, perhaps more time needed to build a case. Very strange!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 4, 2017
A senior intelligence official tells NBC News that the intel meeting, which Trump claims was delayed to Fri., was always planned for Friday. https://t.co/7XO1WVolOB— Steve Kopack (@SteveKopack) January 4, 2017
I think Trump said Wednesday a while back. Which if that's the case, the intel community said nothing to correct Trump. I think it's in Trump's favor in this stupid dispute.
ReplyDeleteIn my experience people in the private-sector are better schedule keepers than people working in government.
DeleteI am calling BS on the anonymous intelligence official that said the meeting was originally scheduled for Friday. Trump had previously announced that the meeting was to take place on Wednesday - he said this last week. If it was originally Friday why wait until now to say it is Friday?
ReplyDeleteIf the anonymous intelligence officer is lying, Trump should simply reveal an official scheduling letter or e-mail (redacted if necessary). I have to assume one exists.
