Dude, you're that meme of the dog sitting at the table drinking coffee while the room is on fire around him.
I am.
But the report literally said unconfirmed reports....
The IC never finished investigation on it until recently

so they ran to the media to feed them a story to hurt trump before they even completed and investigation. This doesn't make them look better. This isn't an argument in their favor. Your tone is as if you're defending them, but you're actually showing off how terrible they are.

You're not making their case stronger.

I fucking hate the phrase bootlicker, but you really act like one sometimes.

So...because one person brought it up, perhaps against the will of others working on it the whole IC needs to be thrown under the bus?

How corrupt does a place have to be before you consider it a problem?

Every agency leaked like a sieve when Trump was president.

I guess it could have just been one person but I doubt it.

You are insanely generous in giving these places the benefit of the doubt.
I am literally just showing that the report that was given even said it was unconfirmed and looking further into it.

Do none of you realize this?

And we are questioning why the intelligence community would give an unconfirmed report to the news media, that serves no purpose other than hurting the president.

Do you not realize this?

"Hey, cnn, uhh, Russia might be might be taking hits out on American soldiers. Totally unconfirmed though. We know you'll handle this information responsibly. *Wink wink*"

So because a member released an unconfirmed report you think everyone is for it...

If it wasn't leaked then that means they intentionally released it and we are back to square one, and I'm blaming the organization that released it.
The thing is.

What about it is illegal or wrong? What can they be charged with or what? Like...
They didn't break any laws if it wasn't leaked

If they released this intentionally and it was above ground, then it wasn't "just one person" as you claimed.

Which brings us back to square one:

Do you not see a problem with an Intel agency releasing an unconfirmed report to left wing news media just to hurt the standing president?

No, because the report they released, literally says unconfirmed reports...

And despite it being nothing but rumors, they released it anyways to left wing news sources, who then used it to hurt the president.

You seeing a pattern here? Or did you just want Trump to lose? It's okay if you did, but just be honest about it.
I definitely did not want Trump to lose.
But the point is, the president didn't even know about the rumor because the military IC doesn't release rumors
