That being said, I’ve read some parts of it and it seems to be a huge bs. As if Russia was planing 5 years ago that Trump would be the US president…
It’s Buzzfeed, it’s not a shocker. Also, the fact that it’s riddled with errors and many of the allegations are turning out to be provably untrue (such as Trump’s lawyer meeting with People in Prague when he has come out in said not only is that not true, he has literally never been to Prague in his life). They are the Ying to Breitbart’s Yang. Serious organizations depend on fact-checking and verifying the legitimacy of the things they publish, but Buzzfeed has nothing to lose. No one takes them seriously to begin with, and even if it turns out to be a complete farce they’ve gained enormous amounts of clicks and are in the exact same position they began in in terms of respectability as a news organization. NBC was apparently given access to the “intelligence” many weeks ago but decided to go forward with none of it after realizing it was riddled with errors and none of it could be verified, and it’s looking less and less legitimate as time goes on.
Multiple officials say that the summary was included in the material prepared for the briefers, but the senior official told NBC News that the briefing was oral and no actual documents were left with the Trump team in New York. During the briefing, the president-elect was not briefed on the contents of the summary .
“Intel and law enforcement officials agree that none of the investigations have found any conclusive or direct link between Trump and the Russian government period,” the senior official said.
According to the senior official, the two-page summary about the unsubstantiated material made available to the briefers was to provide context, should they need it, to draw the distinction for Trump between analyzed intelligence and unvetted "disinformation."
The briefers also had available to them unvetted “disinformation” about the Clinton Foundation, although that was not orally shared with Trump.
