In his first press conference in 167 days, President-elect Donald Trump used his opening remarks to criticize the two news organizations — CNN and BuzzFeed — who reported on stories Tuesday about Trump’s ties to the Russian Federation.

While the CNN report simply indicated that the PEOTUS had received classified briefings that suggested the Kremlin has potentially “compromising” information about Trump, BuzzFeed controversially released the full incriminating — an unsubstantiated — 35-page dossier.

While Trump slammed these media outlets, in a noteworthy turn of events he actually thanked others who refrained from running the unverified story. “They looked at that nonsense that was released by maybe the intelligence agencies — who knows? but maybe the intelligence agencies — which would be a tremendous blot on their record if that in fact did that. A tremendous blot on their record, because a thing like that should never have been written.”

24. The aggressive and defensive presser opening

The opening remarks by Spicer, who was in full rabid attack dog mode, denying the intelligence report and trying to bullying and/or shame those who reported it, then Pence with a slightly milder attack on the same subject, should tell everyone all they need to know about the report - that the gist of it (Putin has blackmail info on Trump) is true.
