Trump Tweets Intel Briefing Moved To Friday; Intel Official Says It Never Changed

For whatever reason, Donald Trump wants to continue his quest to pee on the leg of people in the intelligence community. Earlier, he tweeted the following:

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

Of course, Trumpers are starting to say the Russian hacking is a “hoax” and with Trump being antagonistic like this, those accusations will likely get louder.

However, according to an intelligence official, the briefing wasn’t moved:

Senior intel official tells @KenDilanianNBC this tweet’s “adversarial;” says plan was always for CIA/NSA/FBI heads + DNI to brief on Friday. https://t.co/mkZkx6HSdj

So clearly, somebody is not telling the truth. This is not good. It’s petty but it’s also dangerous. Donald Trump is purposely antagonizing the intelligence community less than three weeks from taking the oath of office.

Who told him this was a good idea?
