David Graham, The Atlantic: Donald Trump Meets, and Assails, the Press
In his first formal press conference since July, the president-elect blamed Russia for hacks, offered a plan to resolve conflicts of interest, and scolded the media for its reporting on him.
In his first press conference since July 2016, President-elect Donald Trump took only a few questions but made news on several fronts, saying he accepted the conclusion that Russia conducted hacks on top Democrats, bashing the press, and refusing once again to release his tax returns. Trump also refused to answer questions about whether any of his aides had been in contact with Russian officials, though he later said they had not as he departed the press conference.

4chan hoax sad stuff.
If this was really a CIA dossier on Trump then it explains allot about why we are getting our a*ses handed to US by a bunch of dirty bed sheet AK boys. The CIA was once a vaunted force that beat the soviet spy ops to a draw while having the ability to literally topple govs and kill future enemies in the cradle today is a just a shadow leveraging random internet rumors. America has fallen on so many levels the destruction from within is heavy.
I hope Trump and team brings the butchers to this diseased cow.
I agree, this crap has got to stop, we need murica as founded, no more pandering to the world and appeasing known enemies....
Also, the us media was founded to whistleblow and check a tyrannical govt (everything is set up to check an overbearance of power), the establishment wants more power, proof being 8yrs of obama executive dominance over all other branches including the media and academia.
The govt's main function in the US republic, is to secure the freedoms of Americans so they can exercise their unalienable rights that come from natural law not predicated law via a powerful all knowing govt.
Hopefully murica finds its way back to its founding and the media guys itself along with the entire govt, cause there are still men and women out there in the cold wet miserable putting their asses on the line for that kind of freedom and that kind of America, and they are waiting for the ppl in charge to get on board.

Trump will be criticized for what he says and what he doesn't say, for what he his doing and for what he isn't doing. Media's have still not understand what happens in America. They will crush their teeth against a bulldozer. Trump is so unusual that the old recipe's are not working anymore. That's life.
