Tapper and the gang on CNN just said the reporting of the unverified details was irresponsible. I agree. Reporting that Trump was briefed about a report that the Russians have compromising information on him is absolutely inbounds, however.


So, just cracking the lid on Pandora's Box (actually, Jar) is okay, but throwing off the cover is not (even though lifting the lid would undoubtedly lead to the cover being tossed aside)?

That's like I hear secondhand hearsay, completely unsubstantiated and unverifiable, about you that you take bribes from Chinese spies in exchange for military secrets. I just report that there's information out there that could affect your security clearance, but say nothing about the "details." There's no legitimate argument I can make that would support the notion that my "report" would not lead to the underlying allegations seeing the light of day.

Reporting that Teump was briefed on a given topic by the IC isn't second-hand heresay. And if, in the by and by, you heard something like that about me, I'd hope you'd contact the FBI so that it could be investigated and adjudicated. We have too many holes in our intelligence services as it is.
